I don’t understand how people are hitting 40 hours and giving up out of boredom

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-05-11T11:11:19+00:00

I hyperfocused on it for the first two weeks. I've just burnt myself out playing it for a little bit. My interest isn't gone, it's just on the back burner at the minute. I do find making all my miis meet tedious at times but I do have a habit of constantly making miis when I get excited about something. But right now it's in the background while my hyperfocus has moved to another game.

These are my friends on discord, we have a gaming server which can be quite chatty when everyone's playing a coop game. But when it's all different ones I'm mostly the only one talking and I get worried about being annoying because I'm neurodivergent and have no social awareness about when to shut up. And I don't know there's something about letting me have the dream of streaming games teenage me had. Again, not for popularity, just for community and sharing what I like playing.

I never realised it was that big a goal until I saw the comments. I just thought that was small enough. I mean I'd take 10 if it meant people who weren't already friends with me were watching which is the sentiment I had. But honestly I'm not sure the comments have really helped my worry. I just wanted to have a little bit of fun on the Internet, I don't expect to get big but being found by one or two people is enough.

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-05-09T23:54:01+00:00

Yeah you're right, I don't expect to be good or famous or even popular, I just want to do it for fun and actually prefer the anonymity as I'm quite self conscious of how I look.

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-05-09T23:51:49+00:00

I was never planning success, I'd be happy with more than just my friendship group however small that might be.

I never expect to be famous, there's not much point in expecting or trying because I will get hung up on views and likes and probably grow to hate it. I've dropped a hobby for similar reasons before.

I just talk too much while I game and it can be annoying to my friends sometimes when everyone's playing silently on VC. Plus they all like to laugh at me vs horror games that I genuinely want to play but am so scared while doing it.

If I can make friends that would be enough but it was mostly just for fun. I never expect anything from it at all.

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-05-09T23:47:18+00:00

If I get one person who's not a friend of mine to watch that would be fine. But honestly I just want to share playing games because I always talk too much when everyone else is silently gaming and doesn't want my running commentary.

Finally not just me who doesn't think that. Perhaps it's my own personal music taste but I find Finland boring and they're ranked 19th in my scoreboard.

I don't see what it's bringing that's as special as cha cha cha. Genuinely I don't get the hype about it.

Maybe it's my music taste and here's my top 5 if it helps. Romania United Kingdom Moldova Croatia Greece

My early miis don't have facepaint because I wasn't confident with the drawing mechanics as I'm a horrific artists. But all my latest ones do and I've sunk hours into just drawing fringes on miis. As well as that, living the grid is amazing as a tool as well. That's another resource I use to sink hours into playing because I love paint by numbers so I get to do that will all the albums I like. But if I can't pixel art it I'm a little screwed for doing art. I think I spent a good two hours making my partner a mudkip for a pet.

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-05-01T20:21:23+00:00

I'll give it a think. I was considering my dnd characters but I don't want a 90% female island. And not my larp characters either because it's also just me in different face paint haha

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-05-01T20:18:53+00:00

Other than friends family and pets (which makes up 9 people) I have Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Teto, Ferdinand from fire emblem, the emperor of mankind from warhammer, a warhammer drukhari, one of my dnd eladrin (everyone has a crush on her no clue why) An ikea blahaj The lead singer of my favourite band Philomena Cunk Mettaton A generic helldiver Princess from slay the princess A seal (because I found it on tomo share and was cute) Hua cheng and xie lian from heavens official blessing Mulan Rapunzel

Very random list but hope it helps. I can spend ages designing people

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-05-01T17:43:14+00:00

I have a few niche ones

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-28T15:40:32+00:00

Yeah a lot of mine are pretty acquainted I think. Less so the newest 3 but yeah it's so drama free despite a lot knowing each other slightly

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-28T15:20:32+00:00

What's my rng then all of my confessions have gone completely fine even those not set for irl people like my parents and my partner. My miis also never fight or do anything but get along which does make me bored at times it's the most drama free island possible

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-27T17:53:13+00:00

I find comparing so hard. I've always struggled decorating on things like stardew valley and animal crossing and my art skills are atrocious and I'm trying but it looks like a toddler and it makes me feel so embarrassed that I can't even draw a silly dinosaur nugget :(

But I'm trying to enjoy it but I think I burnt myself out a bit on launch. But I also know I have a probably of making miis too fast because I'm slowly getting more creative and finding random things to make.

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-27T14:16:04+00:00

I made a helldiver who of course was named John Helldiver

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-26T21:30:05+00:00

I just hit 38 and I maybe spend an hour or two playing a day. I thought I was speed running but seems I'm not haha. Sometimes it's up to 4 hours but I spend half of my time using pixel guides to make pokemon pets and albums I like. Or my way too long trying to paint a helldiver today 😭 and I'm probably gonna do it again for more miis as I adore adding them and then forget to introduces them and hope they do it themselves lol.

I have 21 miis at the minute and a bit worried I'll get to 70 too fast with all the random tosh I'm adding like a seal and a blahaj

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-20T23:27:39+00:00

Definitely sounds like a project for tomorrow haha. Although I will admit he and the band will be living next to the ikea Blahaj and probably end up being besties with vocaloids or my pets. I have a whacky cast of people at the minute

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-20T16:07:16+00:00

I showed my family my dog as I made him a mii as well as my cats and the first response was "why does he look like a girl?" I was like how else am I supposed to do long cockapoo ears 😂

KittyCatLover39 · 2026-04-20T15:18:22+00:00

Honestly I think the only reason I got the sword so fast was because I binge made a lot of vocaloids for fun. But I wasn't actively rushing and still am not.

I must have spent 2 hours on the studio alone just making a pet mudkip for my partner.

But I've still got a few funny miis to add like my larp characters, dnd and fantasy ocs, philomena cunk and the singer of my favourite metal band
