(rant) i'm sorry. i'm not quitting. in fact, i have a game planned (kinda) and that might still be made. but.. i've said before that i was quitting and came back. that's why i'm simply just no longer going to be active on here. scratch has been something i loved and love since (oh my god) 2018. but, it's been almost SIX years and i keep coming back to this account. and i keep seeing the mess i left behind. i wouldn't say i'm well known. heck, i wouldn't say i deserve it. i log onto here and see what i've done. the stolen art. the strange animations. i acted like i deserved fame, like i was entitled. i log onto here and see the comments i left. i see my past self's broken dreams. it's a little better on my test account. (cough cough @cs1760725test) and it's where most of my "big hits" reside. but it went downhill when i tried to make animations on here. because all the "famous" scratchers did that. (are any of them still active?) that's where i lost my individuality on this account. i was making decent games before. i was lacking in the art department. now i can make art better. but i have no time. no time to fully make a game. no time to resurrect this account. no time to express myself on this account. nothing has changed about scratch. the target age group of this platform keeps getting farther and farther away from mine. i am no longer the demographic. when i was young and using scratch (even before i had an account) i tried to act older and "cooler". but now it feels like i never had a chance to "be a kid" on here. i don't really even know anymore. i just get sick of coming here and seeing failed ideas. maybe that's just me.
