I just checked out some of your earlier entries and was surprised that I didn't comment on or like any posts for quite a while, in the beginning. Then I remembered that there at least was a period where I just used to read them as an email.
One that stood out to me was "The two invisible steps before you make something". It really resonated with me and involved what is probably my favorite topic: creative process.
The sketchbook was also such a cool bonus and I remember being surprised at the level of care you put into that collection.
It was also great for me when you dedicated a post to answering my question, “how to think about audience”. Some of the perspectives I got from reading and digesting that have stayed with me, and I think the overall format of reader questions here helped inspire me to land on the Substack project I now have in the works.
Finally, I have really enjoyed "the afterparty" down in the comment section -- even to the point of writing some rather enormous comments from time to time, lol.
In order to keep that from happening now, I just wanna say congrats and here's to 100 more!!
Thank you Hasse for being a regular and brightening the comments section!
It is actually possible to reply to the email directly as well, but it's something nice about leaving a comment here, it allows more people to jump in and see the discussion. I'm glad you found your way here! Ahaha
And ooh, "The Two Invisible Steps" was one I glossed over (cause there was so much to go through). But I see why you like it!
I was wondering why I put so much effort into assembling all those sketchbook related things but I just had so much fun doing it, this is what I do for fun I guess.
I was so glad that you asked that question about audience, cause it was something I had been reading and thinking a lot about and finally got a good reason to pour my heart out about it.
I love it when you write long-ass comments. But the short ones are great too, sometimes it's just nice to know who's around!
I don't know what you mean about being too late..? Either way, 100 more! Thank you!
I found "Nobody is looking for links to click" to really hold true. I always try to embed into the platform directly if possible. I never expect engagement out the blue because seemingly humans are habitual. Unfortunately it's not possible here to embed the video of my WIP cube violin: https://i.imgur.com/6o5iV5n.mp4 (and nobody is looking for headphones to put on is another thing I feel myself as a consumer; videos without sound requirement usually go down better)
I liked the creative journey posts and life story posts; I still remember the tennis racket with a face that resembles an unfortunate racial stereotype; it was a fun story.
I think "Nobody is looking for links" might be one of the best as well. I wish Substack allowed images in comments. At least the links work!
It seems like you're having a lot of fun adding these things to the game. Would be cool to jam some music in that world with some friends accompanying on other instruments!
Funny that you remember the tennis racket story, I didn't expect that one to stick with someone.
That Miyazaki article is a gem! Result > Hard Work
:) Accompanying sounds fun. You would need low ping to sychronize with others, but it could work (perhaps I add a mode where you hear your instrument as others hear it; this will delay it a tiny bit from your inputs by using server data). Ideally the game will have lots of various fun features like this violin before it's released soon.
Result > Hard Work is a cool interpretation of that quote.
Congrats! What a cool milestone :)

By "I may have been too late" I just meant that I may have already entered the domain of long-ass comments with this comment, hehe.
You're welcome, Jonas! It's been fun and insightful. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.

Re-reading "what is your why?" is cool, I'm reminded of this now: https://soranews24.com/2019/07/10/hayao-miyazaki-talks-on-how-working-hard-isnt-something-to-be-proud-of-not-forgiving-yourself/
"Working hard is a matter of course; if you don't, nothing gets done."
:) Happy 100!

Who could forget that face?
