My family: why do you know about how fursuits are sewn anyway?
Me: because I'm interested in infosec so I follow infosec experts on the Internet
My family: what?
Me: what?
Being "intellectually gifted" kinda really sucks emotionally. Like you succeed easily in school and academia but when you *do* struggle you end up not knowing how to cope and everyone around you offers no support, just disappointment. Because "you're so smart! You can do this if you *just* work harder!". That kind of stuff ruins your self esteem. It doesn't matter how strong you are, without the right tools you won't fix a broken car. It's much the same with intellectual tasks.
And on top of that even when you do succeed you end up feeling like you don't deserve it, like you didn't work hard enough for it. Because others put in more effort than you and still failed. It's really fucked up and I should probably be going to therapy lol

Official statement from Volition on the studio closure.
I think it's quite something to put this out precisely at Starfield review embargo - almost as if they know the world's gaming press will be busy.
