I live. My year wasn't crazy, though.

[drenrin2120]

Yep. I also am still alive. Can't believe y'all are still here

[MartinVole]

Crazy that this place has any activity to be honest. XD

[Moosetroop11]

I'm alive! Although it's been a crazy year for me.

Crazy good or crazy bad? :0

[ZeroKirbyX]

Like, what does it mean to be alive?

Crazy bad, still hoping things will get better. But I'm doing okay for myself.

Man, everyone has to be in their 30s and 40s now huh? Crazy to think about. What's everyone doing these days?

34 now, think I was around 13 when I first started hanging around here, feels like a life time ago.

Got promoted to senior gameplay programmer, so that's something I guess.

32 these days, got kids and been working as a teacher for a while now.

I've gotten hooked on warhammer, ttrpgs and other boardgames ever since covid. I just couldn't stand being around a screen for anything else than work at that time.

Congratulations! I miss doing game dev, I should get back in to it. Webdev is really easy and pays well, so I'm sticking with that for a job for now. I'd love to open a game dev studio some day though.

What kind of teacher are you? All of my friends started wanting to do table top around Covid starting, so I got dragged into a few games. Mostly D&D, but some Coriolis, and some Wise Guys as well. Kids are fun, my daughter is almost 2 now, and we've thrown around the idea of having another.

I'm 33. It def feels a lifetime ago since I was frequenting these forums as a little 14 to 15 year old kid. I never forgot about you all. Game dev was never just something I wanted to do as a passion or hobby or art. I mean, it was those things for sure, but it was also an escape. And when I was a kid, I was escaping a lot of things. You all helped me through some tough years. I'm not sure how to ever thank you for that, even if I acted like... well, a dumb kid through it all. I truly hope everyone is doing their best and keeps doing what they love and what makes them happy and thrive.

I teach English to Swedish students at approximately high school level, they are surprisingly good at it - but the rest of Europe is finally catching up.

Based on the talks I've had with some of our old members we seem to have this in common a lot of us. Creativity is a great escape, and a great something that helps us connect with others as well.

I'm reaching 4.0 next year. Gave up being a lawyer, moved to Ireland and became a software developer. No kids though, that might be coming next year, maybe! I was on my early 20s when I started coming here, that's mad.
As for TTRPGs, been playing them since them. Behind me there are around 200 rule/settings books
