Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I'm not sure when I last posted, but I don't think that could give a good date of when I last noticed Newgrounds. It's weird to be honest what happened. I used to go on Newgrounds daily, vote my five and post a tiny bit with sarcastic comments in general or C&C (usually the Gay/Bi club, after I couldn't invest the time to post in other clubs like the zombie club). However, I just stopped one day and didn't notice a thing. I never really properly connected to anyone here and the years left me drifting off elsewhere. I don't think it helped that over 30,000 posts later I had nothing to show for it. I wasn't noticeable to the point where people referred to me or nominated me for random awards like "Never Logs Off" or "Worst User", but too noticeable to be noticed as one of those users who comes out the blue with a random opinion or good point.

To be honest, the last year or two have been, well, interesting. I've had my ups, and I've had my downs, although I will admit this year has been more of a downer than an up-er. Increasingly, I've been put into more of a thoughtful state of the things to come. It feels less about "what game is coming out" and "oh no, no friends" and more about "what am I going to do as a job in the years to come" and "what state is society in". I feel less relevant to this website which celebrates flash animation as the years go on, having to focus on other things which are cutting back my hobby-time and as increasingly I'm having to commit to less due to the inability to concentrate and focus as much as I used to. I'm sorry to say that Newgrounds is just one of those areas that are part of the cutting back process.

Hopefully, I may be back in the future. Maybe, and hopefully, posting more constructively and positively than in the past. I may still occasionally lurk and post, but just consider this as my way of saying I'm not a regular any more at all and don't plan to be any year soon.
