It's been ages : How is everybody doing ?

missing the forums. Discord just...isn't a fit for a community of this size IMHO. Joined a couple times, always leave because I much prefer forum style communication.
But. Good otherwise
 
It's been rather rough for me. I quit my job half a year ago and although money is still not a problem, major depression is really messing up my mind.

Long story short, I lost two of my best friends within a week of each other. My human best friend Alan died of suicide and my dog (my pillar of unconditional love and support) was euthanized because cancer cells was spreading throughout his body. Disgusting as this may sound, I have been sobbing every single day for nearly half a year now. They mean so much to me and even when I am to be married in less than three months, in all honesty, I just feel empty like a part of my soul is missing.

Damn dude... had a bud who lost his pooch and really the only way he got around it was to get another one. Made a big diff in his life at the time. Also was a rescue from a pound so that made it even more a morale boosting thing to do.

I actually got cats with the girlfriend. They're cute and all and they can sometimes be empathetic to me too (one made sure to be by my side when I was grieving hard), but the truth is, it's just not the same. The strong unconditional love my dog had for me just can't be replaced. I know I got other pets but seriously, getting another model to replace him just isn't right for me. :(
 
Some cats can be affectionate but they dont get as close to you as most dogs. GF doesnt want a dog in the picture with the cats or its just too soon?

I want to say it's far too soon, but I never wanted to get another pet to take his place to begin with. The fiance is actually a major fan of cats but part of the reason why I went on with it is because not living with my dog these couple of years always brought us both a ton of depression (I wasn't exaggerating how he is my soulmate). I realize it was all a naive mistake to get the cats just to keep me company, but I have the responsibility to take care of the cats now.

Anyway yeah, I highly doubt I can ever fully recover from this gaping hole in my heart. It will get better with time as loss is a part of life, but I will never forget how much happiness and comfort he brought into my life.
 
I miss the old, bustling days of Rage3D. I just can't do Discord, it is overly complex and not suited for proper discussions. I'm moved to Reddit for my daily gaming and hobby interests.
 
So many familiar names. Man it's crazy this place been kicking for so long.
 
Hay guys wassup

I've been to the future it sucks, don't go there. The internet has turned to shit, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you.

Truth! Half of everything is a walled garden. I too often get excuses from the AI empowered search engines when they cant find an answer to my simple queries. No wonder they want us to train them for free. Triple whammy they make money off us on ads and data harvesting now training their AI's.
 
Thing are good. Life is enjoyable. The forums are fixed. Gaming is still fun. Family in here seems smaller but solid.
