Crawling Back: absentee member confessions.

[bartre]

Man, this makes me realize how little I've been on here lately.

So I'll bullet point the reasons why.
Working 46-65 hours a week.
Full time school
In the middle of moving
Lady friend
Lady friend problems
Lady friend problem solving
Seeing some of the shit that gets posted on that pce fb page.
Also, I'm starting to get seriously annoyed by "gamer culture"

Also the members who passed away (RIP, you will be missed) who were here on a regular basis were the people I talked to more often than not. It completely took the wind out of my sails and was just too raw to be in chat or posting on the forum.

So who has died? I searched around a b it, and Saw Sinistron died. I didn't know that.

So besides Sinistron, who else from here is now gone, permanently?

[Sparky]

Vestcoat, you don't post often but when you do.. Boom.  Hahaha

[synbiosfan]

Breetai has also passed.

I knew him from elsewhere but I know he was a member here.

[blueraven]

Also RR1980, and SnowKitty. Both late-night chat guys that were wonderful, kick-ass people. And they knew how to mod and play turbo. Obey style.

Snowkitty sounds a bit familiar. I used to frequent here a bit more when the chat was here, it did make me linger a bit more when I'd been absent for __ months. Then it was removed due to abuse, I missed exactly what that abuse was, though.

RR1980, I looked at some of his posts, I can't really recall him.

Sinistron I had some interaction with. So, I remember him, and his avatar very well. Shame how he went, drunk driver T-Boning his car.

Work has a new boss and new load, so limited time for forums trolling and chat. We maybe less frequent, but the obey never dies.

Major depression, stress, and anxiety. Imprisoned on an island of clay and rock, surrounded by aliens I can never connect with, waiting for the chance to escape. The time has come for said escape... the chance is now.

Yes, I'm preparing to leave the island. Expect some game sales to pop up here shortly, as the less I have, the less I have to take with me when I go. I am moving to South Carolina... so expect to see me at the next MGC.

Real answers:
1) stopped gaming. Replaced lonely video games with 2/week AD&D group with friends.
2) stopped collecting. Own most everything I care to buy.
3) stopped learning. Mysteries of the LD-ROM, analog stick, PCE chair, MB128, SGX expansion, kid station, TE multiplayer, etc. have all been discussed and revealed.
4) endless noob collecting/price/rarity discussions.
5) not enough Zeta.

Things that keep me coming back:
1) TG16 awesomeness.
2) forum buds/nemeses
3) new indie releases
4) repairs
5) Order of the Griffon endorsements
6) flaming noobs

The secrets of the Photo Reader have yet to be discovered.  The quest awaits!

I'm still completely clueless on LD-ROM and I don't see myself ever having LaserActive, so somebody who lives nearby better get one so I can play it when I am visiting. I'm serious.

I traded away PC-FX and SGX years ago and now I regret it, since I am still intrigued by them.
