If you can get the .com for a personal / creative project do you go for it or go for something more fun like .wtf or .energy? 

For a company .com wins every time still but what about a personal, creative project? Is it to boomer to grab it?

for a person project i like xyz or wtf. mainly because as someone who is newish to the web3 space, I associate those domains with web3 projects because I had never seen them prior - totally agree: company= .com, brand = i like something more fun and less formal
