Holding ~85% of the contribution count on a live service game wiki for years is draining. But the target audience for that game is less inclined to be interested in these sorts of hobbies…

I just wanted to collaborate with fellow fans, but as soon as the “new game smell” wore off a few months in, everyone else drifted away.

    I know how it is to have a hobby where it’s hard to find someone to share it with. Really niché stuff some of it. I find that my hobby comes from a passion for doing something for the fulfillment of doing it. Or the enjoyment of the end result.

    When it feels like a draining chore I some times realize my hobby has grown into a commitment, a chore. Not something that lifts me and brings positivity any more.

    I guess it’s no longer a hobby but just something I used to enjoy. And often miss enjoying. But everything changes, such is life. Sometimes it’s time for me to move on.
