On the brink . . .

11.2k AircraftoftheRedStar  4.3 years ago

I may be leaving, but I’m desperately trying not to.

Life is just so depressing for me right now that I’ve lost my motivation to build. I burnt myself out after creating two huge bombers in two months and haven’t recovered since. I desperately want to continue building, but as mentioned above, I have zero motivation. If I don’t find help, I most likely won’t be posting for two or three months.

    I am taking a break from building, a good relaxing month long session. However I will still be active on the site.

    @WinsWings I have an idea.
    Unfortunately, it may involve infinite-plus energy and a few black holes.

    A long time has past since you posted that comment lol. Interests change and that's what really happened way back 2 years ago. I'm just checking in and tending to a little nostalgia at the moment. I got burnt out completely trying to make accurate replicas that also had a realistic fight model back in 2020 during my height. But I got really discouraged when I found out I pretty much needed to manipulate it using the then-new Funky Trees; ever since then I struggled to fully use it. It frustrated me very much how I needed to go to extreme lengths to get my projects to perform what they possibly would have flown like. The last project I was working on was a remake of the Alekseyev I-216 heavy interceptor with two 76mm NS-76 cannons. Got the fuselage and front guns done and had just the canopy, wings, and landing gear left. I also had massive ambitions to create the sister project of my M-31, the Myasishchev M-32 with a single massive FAB-9000 bomb. I really wanted to fly and work on military prototypes like I was doing here as a real world career. However, I realized that it would most likely be out of the question and I would have to be a civilian pilot instead which has never interested me. I've gone full circle and have ended up back in the same interests I had as a younger kid which happens to be semi trucks and especially farming. There has been a couple times where I've mustered up some confidence to try and pick the game up, but they've been shot down as all my procedures and understanding of the building techniques are 2 years old. It would take a very long time to try and understand something I'm not 100% gung-ho about. I suppose I should try to not forcefully resurrect a past hobby, so I'll probably let this one quietly die out and reflect on the great memories I had and created. @WinsWings

    I’m slowly making my way back into building again, but it’s hard work.

    Like, I've spent the last few days playing around with the stock Jundroo planes.

    :/
    After my F-35A (Will be published today. T to be tagged), I'm in the same place. I just cant seem to build anything half decent anymore. I'm losing motivation, and when I try to build, it's a piece of crap that I'd be ashamed to upload. The thing is tho, SP is all I have to do anymore. Idk what to do about this.....

    I don’t know. Airliners don’t strike my fancy unless it has a weird configuration or something like that. Even so, I have some amazing projects for when I return. 😊@Numbers

    I usually get burnt out after a while, and leave until I feel like coming back. It helps me not get bored of the game, and makes it much more fun to play. Mental health is always the most important @AircraftoftheRedStar

    welp good luck in the future, if you want a break take a break, you can do so at the drop of a hat if you want to. I disappear for months at random even a year once (kinda I uploaded a few times unannounced during it). Its all chill build what and when you want.

    Nobody forces you to do anything. You owe nothing to anyone here. I took breaks for 11 months, the penultimate build I did for two years. Do what you want, when you want.
