"It's just the market's answer to a generation that demanded to perform. So the market said, "Here, perform everything to each other all the time for no reason". It's prison, it's horrific. It is performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lie in our bed at the end of the day and just watch our life as a satisfied audience member? I know very little about anything, but what I do know is that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it"
-Bo Burnham
This website belongs to the person who goes by cathacker online. I used to do a bunch of varied creative works. Most namely Games, Art, and Music, amongst many more.
I will be upfront about this and admit that I did it mainly to get recognition. Recognition that I never got. I now realize what a blessing that was. Although I only met very few people through this, I soon realized the horrifying reality of living with an audience.
After much consideration, I have decided to hang my creator shoes on the wall. I do not want to live this life. I still have my entire future in my hands. I don't want it to end up like this. Not anymore.
I will probably still release the odd game here and there due to my sheer love of the craft, however I will do so with minimal to no aim to reach out. I will probably also not put in much effort either.
I'll still be active on my personal social media accounts, but I will not post anything of any worth.
For all it is worth, this marks the end of cathacker in the broad sense. Thank you to my friends for supporting me through all these years <3
