So I made this no secret in scumchat but like ramble time I guess
My generation is effectively dead.
Through age, attrition, and occasionally murder, I’m really close to being the last one of us left.
Around half of those I cared about here are gone, and my dedication to Solar Car came at the worst possible time.
I failed to be able to do anything to change the outcome of this community, and although I still like a lot of you a lot, and don’t regret my decision to put Solar Car first one bit, that still doesn’t feel good.
I was planning to make DRFM my last game here, as it pulled in most of those I like who remain and shows some respect for Sarun, who, despite her flaws, is still someone I genuinely enjoy and wish the best for and made some of the most memorable moments of any of the games I’ve been in.
Sucks that was canned, but I guess life really do be like that sometimes.
Anyways, I’m sure I’ll still be around. I can’t imagine I log off of a site I’ve been checking literally every single day (often multiple times) for almost three whole years and don’t look back, and frankly I don’t have a reason to try.
But there are just places that need me more, and places that don’t come with the baggage I am forced to carry here. It’s not fun to be constantly reminded of those who were forced out and those who see no good in me, and although I’m damn good at ignoring things like that, it’s much easier to move on to places that are both in need of my help and actively asking for it.
So yeah, probably done with games here. I make no promises - if someone does something really amazing, I doubt I’d stay out just because it’s here, but my time and efforts are better spent elsewhere, both for myself and those who are counting on me.
It’s been fun, I wish you all the best, and remember, y’all know more about me than I’d like, so I’m sure you’ll have no trouble tracking me down if you want. Sorry I couldn’t commit to something like this months ago - maybe things would have gone differently if I had.
Hard respect to those as old as I who still maintain an active presence - it has been a hell of a ride, and I’ve been glad to meet you all along the way. Keep in touch.
As for the newbies from the last two years, I hate all of you and you personally are the reason I’m leaving. Just kidding, duh - in general, you’ve been a lot of unique, interesting, and great personalities that have been a huge joy to play and talk with. Hell, I even met up with Luxy, which was pretty neat even if it couldn’t be for all that long (and would not be against doing this again if the stars align).
I’m glad I can step out of games here without feeling obligated to make it a real “goodbye”. Far too many others have not been in so fortunate a position.
So yeah, orange out.
