So the reason I need to output fairly formless like this is that if I hold something in my memory I forget what I was doing. It’s as simple as that - I can only hold one piece of track in mind.
This is why I end up (repeat) infodumping over text I realise. I go and re-read the text, and I’m back on the track. Or I remember a little piece of shart I forgot. Either way I’m back and forget where I was.
Solution: do not re-read the messages.
Another one is the ‘…’ typing bubble. It kills me as soon as it pops up. Plus people don’t like being bombarded with 130 short messages at once; it’s pretty stressful. Both of these.
Solution: agree not to touch the text input window until someone ends their stream with ‘.’ and mute the chat. As in a message with nothing other that ‘.’ A baton pass. This works great for both so far.
