I'm about to move out of California at long last, to restore an old house in a distant land, start the initial planning phases of growing my own food on a larger scale around it, and a while after that, experience fatherhood for the first time.

I won't be completely off the grid, but I really don't like using my phone for anything but phone calls, and posting here while I have so many other things that take priority would be a really annoying and counterproductive distraction that I might get pulled into anyway if I got carried away or got into lurking and then saw someone proverbially wrong on the internet. I know very well how that tends to go by now.

I may return someday, probably when I have time to complete my next novel. It is currently a work in progress, and I will almost certainly want to share it here when it is done.

Until then, may you never stop posting, comrades!

Always enjoyed your commentary! It’s funny, I usually read through threads by reading the comments without noting usernames but I’d always get halfway through a comment with a very recognizable voice and be like “oh that’s a Ulysses comment” and check the username to confirm. You’ll be missed around here for sure! Good luck in all your adventures!

Good luck man. I will miss you here.

Old Tom will miss an iconic poster such as you. However I can't help but be excited for another hexbear out in the world growing food. The squash harvest was superb this year so I shall use the good vibes I've cultivated and send to you blessings on your crops.

we will miss you comrade! good luck!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Damn was not expecting this. I've enjoyed your comments and input on techbros for the past couple of years.

Best of luck to you and your plans for the future. I'll be looking forward to reading your novel.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I'm sorry to hear that you finally lost your temper with the Bazingas, but I also completely understand your point. As to fatherhood, it's a wild ride, but one I personally have found highly rewarding and meaningful.

In any case, I hope it goes well for you! kim-salute fidel-salute sankara-salute

I might be down to beta read your novel when the time comes, if interested

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I don’t know how hexbear can continue without our foremost expert on the treatbrain phenomenon. Congratulations on having a kid and please let us know when your next book is released.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I miss you bro cri

I wish you success in the real-life Stardew Valley chapter of your life. May it be more rewarding than how most people imagine living a Stardew Valley life would be like.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Unreal dude. I've heard that it's possible to Log Out, but never seen it done. Anda con dios camarada

Godspeed, Bazinga-Slayer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

the 'nyah senpai' gamer stuff and treatbrain analysis were classics to me, part of the folklore, not to mention the star citizen backers, orange site techbros, and many other such exhibits, good luck with the new direction, maybe you can do an update in the future about the food growing and whatever else is on your mind

Stardew Valley but it’s an even more pointed critique of capitalism

Sounds like a pretty rad plan. Best of luck, and hope you manage to get everything off the ground smoothly! You'll definitely be missed around here.

Does that mean we finally found the magical device that tells if someone wants to be born? 🤯

Best wishes to you for the next part of your journey comrade, that sure as hell sounds exciting!
