I lied I'm back. (big surprise).

[tSwitch]

So I feel like I owe a bit of an explanation, even an incomplete one.
           
I'll give you the short version because my life story is boring. x3

Back in June, and later in July when I left, I was processing a lot of things, both related to my transition and completely unrelated from my transition.  I'm not going to get into the transition stuff here, or my gender identity stuff b/c I think for the most part people aren't interested ( if I'm wrong, feel free to PM or hmu on Skype or something ).  TL;DR is that I've come to prefer nonbinary they/them pronouns, and I have a far better understanding of myself and my challenges.  She is still acceptable and I'm not gonna be going full tumblr on you for using feminine pronouns, because they are convenient and accurate to a degree, but yeah.

Also relevant is I was dealing with my lack of energy for game development anymore, and unable to really reason out how RMRK fit into my life when I was barely participating at all.  I didn't really see myself making games anymore, I didn't feel like I really belonged on a site dedicated to it.  It didn't, and still doesnt, really feel like a thing that is part of me to a significant degree anymore.  I'm just pretty much done making videogames for the most part ( although I may for kicks now and again ).  This is something that was difficult for me to really reconcile, and is a lot of the reason I didn't really feel as connected to the community as I used to be.

So...yeah, I'm back because I feel like I have the energy and the space for RMRK to be part of my life again, and I've missed a bunch of you.  I'll be around, 'n I'll probably hang out in IRC again.

Welcome back.

Don't feel bad about not wanting to make games anymore. As you know, many of the people here haven't in a long time, but they're still valuable members of the community.

Hello friend

We've missed you.

Thanks, Irock.

Yeah, it was more...game making was a huge part of who I was and what I was doing, and losing that felt like losing a big part of myself, and I just had to get through realizing that it wasn't a bad thing.  I'm just not passionate about games like I used to be.

TBH I have been filling that creative space with music now, and I'm far happier.

Hello friend

We've missed you.

I missed you tooooooooooooooo

Fie.

You were running the first GIAW I participated in and made myself more than a lurker.

At least for my RMRK experience, you've played a big role.

I'm glad I could be ( I hope ) a positive influence in some way

Gosh that is humbling tho.

I too can claim a degree of this as well; you were one of the members on here I lurk-followed with your comments, suggestions and pieces you put up. It kind-of made me feel like there were some active and fun people to interact with, so I become a real person on the site. Glad to see you're back and doing stuff (although, I feel partially responsible having told you about the contest and all    )

Gosh tho
