Ladies? Gentlemen? After 4 years, I have returned

Howdy everyone! VERY long time, no see!

For all the newer members, I'm an ex-admin here on the GoF and one of the resident nerds.

Long story short, life took a front-row seat for awhile and I needed to spend some time away from my usual activites to find myself.

All these years later, I have a broader understanding of my own life and what I'd like to do. I've learned what makes me happy, what I'm looking for and what steps I want to take. I've tried to find balance between real life, online life, hobbies and careers.

I went to school from 2012 to 2014 to study software development. I'm working in the software industry now, doing music composition and game design on the side. I'm looking to move to a different sector of the software world in the near future but I'm getting nicely established in my career. My experience working on LBT RPG showed me what skills I was lacking. I honed and developed those skills to a more professional level and am applying them to move on with life.

Anyway, now that all that's settling down a little, I'M BACK!!

What am I doing these days? What are my plans here at the GoF?

I don't know yet! I don't have any projects in-mind at the moment that relate to LBT, but I'm plugging away at a handful of stuff on the side. I'll mention those a bit more in other posts.

So, now for the burning question? Did anyone miss me?

Malte, I'm looking in your direction.

Wow, nice to meet you, I guess

I've begun to feel like a resident here after more than two years but it's always nice to see other residents return to the Valley, so to speak. Glad you're back since I've only heard and read good things about you

Welcome back.

Hi Tim, welcome back!

Hope you're doing ok

Sheeeeit, I can't believe 4 years have passed. It's good to see you again! So many of the members I used to know and love have left. But now with LBT 14 on the horizon and some old time members coming back, it'll be just like old times again. Time to catch up again. Have anything new planned? Any new projects? How about taking some snapshots of your current rig and/or room/house? I've really missed having you around.

Welcome Back!

It's okay, sometimes we can't always be on; we have to take our fingers away from the keyboard and take care of what we need to!

But I'm very happy that you've returned

Geez! You were gone with no contact for so long that a part of me thought you died!

Anyways, welcome back!

Do you have more of those singing projects in mind? They were actually kind of fun.

Also, (You don't need to answer this if you don't want to.) do you still have feelings for a certain member here?

Welcome back Tim, hope things are going well for you.
