Happy Birthday mate!

Excellent post.... lol

It's mad that you were around for all of that stuff that happened during the legacy chain, but, weren't too involved. It sounds like a crazy time by all accounts. I had no idea about it but got taken on to write a script for a feature film based on it. I learned a lot about the tech and the history of Hive which is really cool, we're in the second draft atm. It's been an amazing experience.

Yeah, I think engagement is really important. I like getting comments on stuff I write, but realistically, I know that not a lot of people read fiction, and alot of people don't like sci-fi, especially not serialised stuff. I wouldn't call what I write a niche though and I do bounce around a little with my content, to be honest, I don't mind what a post makes or if people comment, as really, I'm just building my writing skills, experience and I'm developing the novels while potentially getting some readers along the way. I do find comments occasionally litrally commenting on the title. I don't know how to describe it.

Like, I'd post something titled, the best friends. Hypothetically. But, it's about a friend who betrays someone or something like that, could be dark maybe. Then I get a comment like. "Wow, amazing, there's nothing like having a best friend."

It could be sarcasm, maybe they did read it, but I've just given up replying to those kinds of comments.

Also, the dunbar number, I forgot the name of it, but yeah it's interesting alright, to think we can only have a certain amount of meaningful connections. There's a book I read called The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, which kind of talks about it and the fact that too many people now care too much, about way too much. Social media has deffinatly made the world smaller and problems seem closer than they are. The idea is to choose what to care about, and what's in your control, rather than making yourself misrable, I suppose in a way the dunbar number fits that catagory.

!PIZZA !LOLZ
