Topic: The Goodbye/Vacation Thread

@HotGoomba I'm gonna miss ya, I was worried you were going to leave, and I understand your need of a break, I have seen the past talks you had with other's and yes its been alot of toxic stuff coming your way,

Well I wish you good luck, and have a great time, till you come back, Sniff I guess I will have to be your stand in for making jokes. (JK.......Can I really?)

Well @HotGoomba life is life and all. See you later, take time off and come back when you feel ready, not out of obligation. Enjoy the year as best you can and enjoy E3!

I know there's a forum topic on it and all but a Discord server would significantly help with things like this, short term communication and things like setting up multiplayer matches. Someone get to it!

@Snatcher @TheJGG thanks you two, Snatcher feel free to take my joke-making position while I'm gone lol, and JGG I hope I'll enjoy E3 too, I'll probably be temporarily back for E3 season but I can't say for sure.

Welp for various reasons (mostly work related) I'll be taking a reprieve. I should be back in time for E3 though 😁. Thanks to @bimmylee and @NintendoByNature for showing me the way of Bloodsport. I promise while I'm gone to train hard by having all 4 of my limbs tied up to trees and stretched. And also to catch fish with my bare hands. I'll bring you back some snapper. Peace and love everybody

@HotGoomba i missed your original post, hope your time off is good to you buddy.

@Losermagnet - Make em ALL say “matae” dude. See you back around the big E3 kumite tournament.

@Losermagnet of course, that's what we're here for! Fyi I've corrected the spelling for @Bimmy-lee so he knows you @'d him. We feel as though we need to spread the bloodsport love to people across the globe. I don't want to speak directly for bimmy, but im fairly certain he would be happy to know we have yet another in our group who could possibly have someone say "matte" if they try to throw cheating powder in your eye during a scuffle.

Either way, looking forward to talking with you around E3. Have a safe and great vacation from the site.

Edit: I see he already replied to you!

@Northwind I'm very sorry to hear all of this; the comments sections really are toxic, which is why I stay well away. For me my reasoning is to just stick to forums, because there's nothing in comments except for snide one-liners, plus it's literally against the rules to just post "I agree" or "LOL".

But you have a very interesting view on gaming as a whole, and I'll, we'll for that matter, absolutely miss you! If you do come back I'll see you, but if you don't, I hope it's for the best.

@Northwind Do what you think its best for you, and I agree, its been a lot as of late, I'm really sorry to see you go, and if you don't come back I will agree with whatever you think is right for you, i'm not going to tell you what your feeling is wrong bc its not whatsoever, I'm to starting to get a little sick of the toxic people ruining the comments, and I try my best not to be this way, I just speak my mind thats all,. There were alot of times I just didn't reply as to not start a fight, so thats why I will try to just post my opinion and leave.

Please have a great time, for wherever you go, may it bring you happyness, Bc I Know every time I see this forum, I know somebody is gonna go.

@Northwind Have fun

@CactusMan Lagos? Lagos as in Nigeria Lagos or some other Lagos I dunno about?

@CactusMan DAAAAAMN, Have a good time man, looks nice.

After some thought, I've decided to scale back my site activity for a little while. I've already done this to an extent on the main site (depending on the topic; I won't touch most comment sections on Pokemon articles with a ten foot pole these days....) and will probably lay off the forums quite a bit as well. My reasoning? The main thing is I want to spend more time and resources towards a home renovation project this month, namely new windows. My hope is to do plenty of research, gather estimates, and try to select the best professionals in my general vicinity for this work (I'm way too clueless to do this on my own lol). Add to that the fact my section of this floating rock is gradually moving closer towards "normal", so my general schedule is filling up more too. This project is a long time in coming, and in fact is something that's needed done since I moved into my home. Other projects just took precedence.

This isn't goodbye, and I do fully intend to try to geek out when possible around E3. I will still respond to any mentions when I can, just be warned it may be several days before I get back to anyone.

@Tyranexx OHHH thank goodness your not leaving, the people I have known just keep leaving and leaving, Good luck with the house, Its going to look great.

Yeah I'm coming back full time (probably) in June.

I feel like that the recent toxicity has leveled down enough for me to fully return, right near E3 too! I might still be more active elsewhere, but I'm excited to continue my adventure on NLife.

And yes I'll avoid the arguments more lol

@Tyranexx Hey good luck with the house.

That’s great to hear @Tyranexx! Shame we won’t be graced with your presence for the foreseeable future, because it’s a fact that many users here enjoy your company. Taking a break to focus on... well... life, is very respectable and I hope it goes well!

I’ve gotten to know your E3 predictions nicely so I’ll hope you can give us your thoughts if you return. Enjoy your house project, and have a good one!

@Tyranexx Look forward to chatting with you when E3 arrives.

@Snatcher Nah, not leaving. Just taking a pseudo-break. You'll still see my comments on occasion, just not as often.

@HotGoomba Thank you!

@TheJGG Thanks for the compliment! While it is a pseudo-life break, I'll still sneak in on occasion. My comments will just be more fleeting. I intended this to be a spring project, and spring is bouncing along a lot faster than I'd like. Starting this now is best. Late summer tends to fill up with family reunions and other events, and fall won't be ideal either, between my usual activities and the ramp-up to my sister's wedding. Part of me wants to wait until after E3, but I'd rather not procrastinate too much. I do plan to catch some of the presentations live if I can, or at least rely on highlights lol.

@Ralizah Thanks! I'm really excited for E3, doubly so since there understandably wasn't a conference last year.

@Tyranexx Well pinch punch first of the month! I'll keep it in mind when composing my own replies to your outstanding posts. But take care and good luck! E3'll be a blast so missing it's a war crime

I'm gonna be in london for a couple days! Gonna be taking a break from the site to see stuff like Madame Tussauds, Big Ben and the M&M shop which is opposite a Lego shop which is next to a McDonalds!
