I took criticism seriously, thinking it was “objective” or true. When it came to negative criticism about a game that wasn't bad, I looked for reasons to determine whether it was true or not, but there was something I had forgotten existed.


Subjective Criticism

I took criticism seriously and saw what they said as true, as if it were something “objective.” For negative criticism that didn't make sense, I looked for reasons or explanations for why it didn't make sense, such as TRTF 2 New Times or FNAAngel's, but something I didn't take into account or didn't remember is that subjective criticism exists.

I think I should have seen it that way and not as serious criticism. Criticism happens because of personal taste, because of a popular opinion that people are influenced by, or because someone is trying to help by giving reasonable criticism, etc.

The thing is, instead of seeing those negative, destructive criticisms and taking them seriously or seeing them as hateful attacks, or perhaps positive criticisms as well, see them as something subjective and don't take them too seriously.

Arguing or explaining why a game is good or bad is not worth it. Just see it as opinions and that's it. And if you see that they are exaggerating with an opinion, such as “This game is the worst” or “This game is a masterpiece,” I think it's more than obvious. I think it's better to see it as something subjective and not something objectively serious.


Now I feel embarrassed remembering when I looked for reasons or logic behind the criticism of TRTF 2 NT, I could just ignore it

Finally, I redesigned my OC's “2D Toon” version.

I may change some details later on.

(This time, I decided to do it by hand first and then do it in ibisPaint. I'm better at drawing in a notebook than on a cell phone)

I uploaded the SHaEmma's soundtracks to my channel and took the opportunity to make a playlist of all the soundtracks from my games. Soon I will upload the entire HFiRoxanne's soundtrack

I see that some people are still a bit confused about which games are canon and which are not, so I decided to do this to see if you understand better now (I don't know how else to explain it)

Surprise!!

A DEMO 2 is now available! It contains two nights.
