Hey Shadow, sorry it's been so long, life just gets in the way xD it's almsot comforting logging on and seeing you keep on posting, keeping the lights on, so to speak. How have you been? I see you've almost hit the big 3-0, hard to believe we're coming up to 10 years since the site went live. It had a decent run, considering its small userbase, but it's cool to see it's still going. Hey! I've missed y'all! You have no idea how excited I got seeing a notification on here. But yeah I get that, life and stuff get in the way. To answer your question I've been doing pretty good. My D & D game is still trucking along in fact I just finished home brewing a playable Medusa/ Gorgon race with three different sub races and everything. And yeah I know the user base on the side has... dwindled a bit, but and the fact that it has gone for almost a decade it's pretty cool. Yeah I turned 30 this year it's kind of hard to believe but yeah lol how's everything been on your end? Life been treating you okay? Any exciting developments? Hope to hear back from you soon, till then I'll keep popping in every few days just to keep the lights on.

Well so far nothing major has been going on. One of my D & D games is on a temporary Hiatus until my brother can get his grades up so that frees up a little more of my off time to focus on other things. Other than that Pokemon Scarlett has been very fun. My Scyther is almost to level 80 and is one of the most reliable freaking creatures I got on my team

Finally got my last D & D book in don't think I'll be picking up anymore. anyway I used it to create a new side character for whatever game I decide to run. She is an Eladrin Elf Archer (fighter: Arcane Archer/ Rogue: Scout) because this type of elf can alternate their appearance, abilities, and personalities with the seasons I went ahead and gave each seasonal form its own name so primarily she is in Spring form and goes by Vernal.
Her other forms are primarily tied to her mood so if she's feeling particularly wrathful she switches to Summer form, Solana iirc, and become somebody who is definitely in justify the means and there's no kill like Overkill.

Hope to hear back from you soon, till then I'll keep popping in every few days just to keep the lights on. Sorry it's been a while xD Nothing new for me really, still grinding along in retail, tho I'm stepping down from my Supervisor role, the jobs easy enough, but it's like coralling cats or toddlers half the time. How people can be so useless and petty at this job is beyond me. Also management wanting more done with less never works. Gonna be good not having to worry about all the little stuff, just do my job and go! In other news, as is the same every year, gonna try harder to start writing again! Maybe I'll get there one day xD Good seeing you, glad you're doing well

Maybe I'll get there one day xD Good seeing you, glad you're doing well Yeah I get that. I had been in management at the dollar store for years and you're right it is like herding cats. Hopefully things will be less stressful for you once you step down. Aside from that I'm glad to hear still doing well, and hey if you do start writing again feel free to post it I'd love to read some. Nothing real new on my end as of late, I did pick up the latest Puss in Boots movie on DVD it was really good I'm hoping the future Shrek 5 movie is good when it comes out I heard they were working on it. Oh and I've been playing a lot of Pokemon Scarlet nearly have the Pokedex completed and I caught my first shiny this morning so that was fun. Anyway stay safe hope to hear from you soon I'll pop back in a few days. Till then later, take care

So Puss in Boots the last wish was really really good. Got it on DVD and watched it a few times now.
Pokemon Scarlet I actually caught a shiny luvdisk and finished the Pokedex....with the exception of trade evolutions, version specific mons, anything from area 0, and two of the legendaries.
And on the D&D side in starting a Bardic Tales spinoff where I can put a series of one shots with the framing device of each one being a tale from the Bard who is telling the story

I was feeling a bit nostalgic, so I checked in on this place and decided to say hi since it's still clinging to life. It's a comforting thing in this crazy, changing world.
And if you don't remember me, that's A-okay. Hope you're all doing well.

This was my original name on Factpile. I joined there about 2008, I believe? Saw you there a little later. I've never been on this particular forum before, but it's nice to finally say hi. Glad it still exists.
I always wondered if Ruliya had any idea where TheSorrow had gone off to. Also how she was doing.
Life is strange, interesting, scary, boring, and in the grand scheme of things, pretty good. How are you reacting to the state of the world right now? Anticipating any games coming out?

Anticipating any games coming out? honestly trying NOT to think about the state of the world. Easier to focus on things i can control/work on. The main thing I keep tabs on is the Ukraine war. Me and GA regularly share updates and discuss it among other things. Game wise I REALLY want a PS 5. I want Horizon forbidden west and I'm looking forward to Star Wars Jedi surviver

I like paying attention to the economy for sure. I've stocked up months of food... just in case. So does that mean you're not a big Zelda guy? I'm so looking forward to Tears of the Kingdom.
Nice to see GuardianAngel still alive, too. I feel like such a stalker. I would occasionally check this forum, but never joined. Stayed on Factpiletopia until it shut down. RIP Admin.

Fair enough on the stocking up part. we got a flock of chickens so we pretty much never have to buy eggs and I'm lucky enough that I can actually eat at my job since they have a cafeteria so that's where I get my breakfast and lunch most days of the week so we really only have to worry about dinner later that night which really helps stretch things out. I like Legend of Zelda I just haven't really played any of the new ones. My Mom Owen's breath of the wild for her switch so I can always borrow it at some point. It looks really good and I've heard a lot of good things about it. It's just finding the time to play different games that is the hard part. Usually if I decide to play something I stick with just it for months. For example I finally got around to getting in playing cyberpunk and I love it I put several hundred hours into the game and pretty much completed everything there is to do outside of finishing the story but.... Then I got Pokemon Scarlet for Christmas and haven't picked cyberpunk up since instead I've been putting all of my free time into that one if I'm not playing D & D or Chronicles. See yea, sooner or later I'll get around to playing the Zelda games. Just a matter of time lol. But yeah, I am really glad you decide to pop in. It's nice to see some activity every couple days instead of once every few months.

So I recently bought all of the Rocky and Creed movies since they're all one time line. I'm going to start watching the first two Creed movies probably tomorrow since I finished the last Rocky movie tonight.
Honestly I really like this series. like I knew about them and I've seen bits and pieces but I don't think I've ever watched the full movies and they're pretty good. I'll say this the one character that I just cannot stand is Paulie. Like I guess he's a good guy but it's like buried deep deep down overall he's just kind of an asshole and I really just do not like when he's on screen other than that all the other characters are fun.
