Hey guys! It's good to come back and visit this forum and see so many of the same people stickin' around. Many likely have noticed my consistent absence for a large chunk of this year. So I'd like to pop in.
As many know, I've moved countries, but I've also started a new deviation in my career, made tons of friends, picked up new hobbies, and kind of drifted from this community. However it does sound like there's an artist boycott for the AI contest which, ironically with my pfp, I would've supported that boycott and hopped off inevitably anyway. My wife and I are finally together, it's been wonderful, we're trying for kids, looking to upsize our home, and yeah, exciting things are happening and still have more coming our way!
I've been playing more Arma Reforger and Battlefield 6 lately. I've always been an FPS guy, party animals was just a side quest for me. I'd really like to hop back in PA, but many things conflict with that and whenever I do decide to hop on, no one is online. So these are my main games right now, open to expanding more too.
Anyway, this post was just to make a presence, explain where I've been, keeping in touch with you all, and hopefully encouraging others who have been absent as well to maybe let us know how they're doing and what they've been up to!
If anyone plays any of those 2 games I listed earlier, hit me up! If you're on steam you can search up ToastySTENCH and look for the black and white photo of some random Italian eating spaghetti. The two listed games are cross platform, so if you're on console just lmk! Or let me know if something big is happening on PA and I'll join!
I hope you all have been well and kind to each other.
