What've you all done in the 7-10 year gap?

Let's see! Since The Split...

I stayed active on MFGG and became a staff member in 2011. I was an admin from 2012 to early 2019, when I stepped down. With a full-time job and a less-than-easy commute, I really didn't have the time to be a full-fledged admin anymore.

I made a few different fangames and toyed with the idea of making indie games. I can't say any of them have become Internet sensations, but I hope that they put a smile on a few people's faces! I hope that my more ambitious indie projects will see the light of day... someday.

I've made small quantities of original music and "art". I've gotten marginally better at drawing, although there's lots of people who are more skilled than I am.

I started my own forum around the time of The Split. It never got super-active, but it still exists somehow. It's been fun to make really goofy skins and post stuff for a smaller, more intimate audience.

I wrote a few video game walkthroughs at GameFAQs back in the day, but not much nowadays. I still try to keep my older stuff up-to-date, though.

As for "real life" stuff, I earned my bachelor's degree and later my master's degree. It took some time, and there were some bumps along the way, but I think it was worth it in the end.

I had a few different jobs/internships in the education field - the kinds of jobs that are interesting and pleasant but don't pay much. About a year ago, I started a new developer job in a very different industry, and it's been an interesting ride.

I haven't had much success in the romance department, unfortunately. I finally got into an on-and-off relationship earlier this year, but we've returned to the "just friends but talking all the time" stage.

It's hard to squeeze a decade of life into a forum post, but I think these are the most notable things.

Course clear! You got a card.
