Used to be an NSFW artist, but now I'm mostly a gamedev student. I might post the occasional doodle or game prototype every now and then

Oh yeah I also make YT vids sometimes

It's finally time, I just moved into my dorm earlier today. I've not had a great day, I'm stressed, I have an upset stomach, I'm tired, and worst of all, I'm lonely. I live in this weird "pod" of 4 dorms, each with 2 people. That's right, I'm surrounded 7 complete strangers, the only familiar faces being an hour and a half drive away in a car I don't have. I just...have nothing and nobody to turn to, I've only been here for a few hours and I already miss home, I already want to go back.


I'm sure this is just initial homesickness that I'll get over in a few days, but man, I don't remember the last time I've felt this low. So many things to worry about, to prepare for, to FUCKING WORRY ABOUT.


Idk man, I'm just stressed. Stressed and scared. I just wanted to vent a little bit.

Hey, congrats! This is a really big life step.

I would say these feelings are expected especially moving far away and not knowing anyone. I hope you can find some cool clubs/groups to join based on your interests (art? game design?) that's a really nice way to meet people. It's good to explore a lot of different things at this stage and then start to narrow things down/focus when you find what you like (both in terms of spending time with individual people & in terms of activities)

Good luck, and looking forward to see what cool stuff you make on NG! (I checked out your profile because I think your chess fighting game idea sounds pretty cool!)

Gee, thanks man. It's been a couple weeks, things have really calmed down, and I've gotten a bit more used to things. I can't say what I'll be doing in the future, I'm a bit preoccupied with schoolwork and have been in a bit of a lull regarding personal artwork, but I'm thankful that you're choosing to stick around for it.

Anyways, thanks again. I really appreciate the kind words.
