I Shoulda Just Set that Poll for 24 Hours

Thanks for voting if you did~ That poll is still open if you missed it, but it's not that important, so don't worry about it too much if you did~

Anyway, I went to check on the interest check poll and the results are pretty even, all things considered. NSR is predictably first, followed by Original Content (y'all flatter me~), and Other Video Game. Everything else is kinda spread out.

(If you wanna calculate the exact numbers yourself, I voted for "other" just to check in, so be sure to subtract me from the results.)

I'm a bit curious about what "other video game" entails though, since I figured I listed everything I've ever majorly talked about (I guess I left out the Mii games, but is anyone really still here for that?). I just included it in case I forgot something, but I really don't know what I would've forgotten.

Unless, some people consider some of the Smash guys to be "other".

I had thought about adding a note that Smash included any characters that appear from that game that aren't otherwise mentioned. This included characters that are more known for their main series, i.e. Mario Bros. or Pac-Man, but that note didn't fit, and I figured y'all would know that on your own, but maybe not. I guess adding series that are represented in Smash (Animal Crossing, Pikmin, etc.) separately might have given the expectation that Smash represented Smash only content. My reasoning was that for the most part, I only talk about some characters in the context of Smash (like Red and Lucas) whereas I will talk about things like AC and Pikmin by themselves. So essentially, Smash was the "other games" option, but just for series that are in Smash.

Dunno. That's the only logic that makes sense to me for why that option came in third when I have a fairly narrow focus on the specific things I regularly talk about here. If it was something that I thought I talked about significantly, something that someone would follow me for, then I added it to the poll.

I'm also surprised that no one who voted is still here for Animal Crossing, even though that's arguably one of the big things I used to be known for. I guess I haven't really drawn it in a while, but I consider that game to be inseparable from my identity, but I guess on the outside it is.

#just interesting results. although i mention surprise at the low AC vote #i think it was low the last time i made a poll like this too #wait... 'other games' isn't for yo noid 2 is it? #are that many people here for mike hatsune?? #tbh i've been wanting to draw him again lately #but i've also been thinking about making my own version of him #because technically Mike is someone else's OC #so i'd feel bad if i ever wanted to do something 'serious' with him #so i've been thinking about designing my own hatsune mikuo who's just old #mikuo is (trans)formative and belongs to the people #but mike belongs to someone specific with a 'canon' backstory and lore #even if i use the same gimmick (miku but an old man) i figured it'd be more 'okay' for me to do whatever i wanted with him #at the very least it'd ease my conscience about it #the problem is that mike was already peak design #so i'm having trouble making my personal old man mikuo distinct from him while still having the elements that I like~
