You can bake your most favourite cake for the cake buffet party but if you leave it and no one even sees it or wants to try a slice still feels bad
You worked hard and even if you did something 100% for yourself, the main goal was sharing it w the rest
Its ok to feel bad if the end goal is not met
I donβt think ppl understand the whole βwho cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourselfβ is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people donβt engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

if you ever feel bad about yourself because someone in FFXIV put you down in a way that was weirdly aggressive and personal, i implore you to remember that this tweet is still very true. it's arguably *more* true in 2026 than it was in 2022, because modding has become so much easier
