I've been feeling pretty aimless and depressed lately. I've been mostly just playing video games. I think finishing God's Disdain, something I worked on for nearly a decade, just destroyed me a little bit. Now I have to start something new and that's been really hard. I'm still burned out with game dev but I do still want to make another game. Plenty more, actually. I was thinking of maybe starting a video game review channel since I'm playing a lot of games, or writing a book because I am a petty good writer, or creating some new music for another album. All of these ideas floating around my head but I'm finding it hard to just pick something and dedicate myself to it.

Part of me is also wondering if it's okay to just chill out for a bit, like I released this thing (and it didn't do well at all but that's beside the point) so now I should take a rest and let myself take some time off. There's that tugging at the back of my skull to keep working on stuff though and I can't get rid of it.

@beardalaxy A break would be nice, but I think you should take into account that a time may come where you simply can't make video games anymore, so you should probably still make games while you still can.

@xianc78 I mean, that kind of applies to everything I thinking of doing though D:
