I’m taking an indefinite break with the current projects going on hiatus.

I’ll try to keep it brief. So… I’m changing jobs and it’s consuming most of my free time recently. I don’t feel like I’m making “real” art anymore compared to when I posted on Reddit for a broad audience in the past. I’m writing less and less with my interactions regarding the macro fandom being consistently negative. People are gradually losing interest in my content. Occasionally I’m embarrassed or insecure about being associated with the fandom or posting on Furaffinity since it taints any stories I consider more “legitimate” than the macro stuff by mere association.

So I feel like I need to move my ass and try something else to avoid burning out altogether! I’m going to retain the Retroinferno handle and keep the current content up as is so that I have the option of making it my NSFW account, but I might experiment with a new alias to write SFW stories for a while. The two handles will likely be kept strictly separate. As a result, I’ll be inactive on FA and my discord server, but I’ll still occasionally check on things if people need to contact me.

Odds are this will be temporary rather than permanent since I need time to figure things out. I hesitated to make a journal about this, but I wanted to publicly explain why this account might be inactive if people stumble across it in the future or if there's a lack of updates. Someone will keep the stupid Stellaris mod updated though. But until then and thanks for all the fish!
