Based on kentonas last status, I realized STATUSES might be a good place for us to casually check in on one another. Jests and non jests welcome.

I'll start.

My babby is now one year old. I finally went down to part time, THANK GOD. Despite that, still have been very busy. I've been stressed about marketing my dumb gam. Got sick THREE TIMES in the past couple months, despite not being truly sick for three years prior. (everyone in my family is fine now) My car's tires strangely have a fetish for random nails in the road, especially in winter time.

So for the few who cares, THAT'S why I've not been so active.

How YOU doing?

I mean, I like getting nailed too, though winter's not my favorite.

You should probably try not getting sick!!!! Hopefully you've built up like universal immunities or something
I am doing quite poorly, all things considered. :(

Hiding depressing stuff in case other people don't have the spoons for it:

Dad died 3 weeks ago of a random heart attack (and he was in pretty good shape too, so it was a terrible shock to the family), and just as some therapeutic RPGmakering was pulling me towards the light at the end of the tunnel of grief, and helping me find motivation to get up and actually DO things again...

The world was like "You know what you need? Existential dread and terror that you can do nothing about". Which is a doozy of a thing to deal with at the best of times, let alone while you're still processing grief.

If I did not absolutely love my day job, I would not be doing it. I would be curled up in my bed playing JRPGs and binge-watching winnie-the-pooh.

Like...After hearing how my dad died, I started trying to improve my diet and exercise more. But it's VERY hard for me to care about that right now. -_- So I'm stuffing my face with pasta and cookies and chamomile tea and hoping for the best tonight.

I'm going to keep on carrying on with my life and all that, but yeesh. Screw 2022 and the horse it rode in on. It seems like it's hell bent on screwing up everyone's lives, if the handful of posts of people having a rough time are any indication. :(

Sidebar: I'm serious that RPGmaker helped pull me out of the depression a little. Designing fun boss fights and seeing all those puzzle pieces come together to form a fun and engaging encounter lights up my brain and makes me smile.

I thought that each time. And we kept just getting hit. ):

Covid was first. Got that from a fluke. Then my wife got a bad cold from her retail job. Then MY job, which is working at a group home, gave us a nasty 24 hour stomach bug.

Dude, I swear a similar thing happened to me a couple years ago. Though my dad had a 2 year swift decline. :(

Very sorry for your loss.

My recent game was literally one big way of coping with the loss of my dad. It was a curse and a blessing. I actually put some of my traumas I had from it all into it, as a way of coping. It weirdly helped me.

I would definitely recommend trying to keep yourself in shape nonetheless. There is a lot in life you cannot control, but doing small stuff like having some limitations on diet and some exercise every day is something you can control. (just a little is enough in my opinion, not everyone has to be a health nut)

Thanks, mate. :) It means a lot.

I'm familiar with doing that. :P A whole lot of the side-story of Mayhem Maiden (a longer game I've been on-and-of developing for damn near 8 years by this point) was literally written alongside my coping with my first ever breakup.

And honestly? It felt therapeutic to be able to show how that journey went for me, but via a side character. :P

It was more the fear of potential WW3/nuclear warfare that made me stop caring about staying in shape.

Feeling more stable now, so I started doing my Ring Fit routine again, the other day. :P
