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!

    This is a tragedy, "watching UlyssesT dunk on sneer-worthy techbros" was one of my favorite type of threads lately

    Your project sounds awesome by the way, good luck comrade sankara-salute

    If UlyssesT comes back he's a fed. They don't just let regular people keep posting after doing something like that to Henry Kissinger.

    Even though Catradora Stalinism is banned from hexbear now, she told me in DMs to wish you luck <3

    her full message was "tell him goodbye for me! well wishes on his new future, full of grass touching and apparently being a dad??? im sure he'll make the kid laugh a lot"

    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.

    Best of luck! I don't interact much, but your comments and posts have consistently been top quality and given me a lot to think about. You've got a talent for putting words to ideas I've only been able to vaguely grasp towards, so even as mostly a lurker I know that you'll be missed, but someone's got to do the hard work of raising the next generation's posters.

    Would love to give your previous novel(s) a try if you'd let me know where to buy them.

    It won't be the same around here without you! For one, no one can put the bazingabrain tech bros in their place like you do. I hope you do come back at some point.

    All the best to you comrade, and congratulations on making this next step in your life.

    I may not have agreed with everything UlyssesT had said but I will never forget sankara-salute

    Even just yesterday I started watching Blue Eyed Samurai and every time a shitty misogynistic Japanese slaver or noble dude was talking I felt something inside boiling: "Love getting my 'historically accurate' human misery in my fantasy Japan story." And just wanted some heads to fly.
