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!

Bro seriously left the site just to kill Kissinger

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

Don't worry, with the amount of posters here criticizing Bazinga ppl and using smuglord to criticize redditorism....

If one old flower yet well-lived dies, prbly a 100 will come to mourn and indirectly take its place.

Even if most may not replicate and surpass its original charm....

Good luck comrade wishing you all the best, going to miss your tactical emoji use and scam citizen updates.

Enjoy your logout and try not to think about Star Citizen!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 28 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.

UlyssesT stars in: Escape from Silicon Valley.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm going to miss you, comrade. Good luck with everything!

who will use the phrase “thought terminating cliche” as a thought terminating cliche now? ussr-cry

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"

oh no we lose one of our finest hexjournalists!

everyone keeps leaving i feel like i'm among the last of the "day 1" people here sometimes lol.

have fun off grid and enjoy the grass hopefully talk to you soon

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

There are other long time posters for sure... A lot of them are definitely just using different accounts these days. Couldn't be me.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

We'll miss you around here. You're always welcome back in the posting mines and I definitely want to read what you're doing next.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

Being a dad and restoring an old house, two really great ways to touch grass. Best of luck! fidel-salute

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

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] 23 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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

You're gonna be a great dad, comrade. I wish you all the happiness in the world! meow-hug

the madman actually did it

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

I will miss you too, but i'm excited for you and for this new chapter in your life!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

The end of a legendary poster rat-salute-2

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Congrats and good luck on everything fidel-salute

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

godspeed, comrade!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

It has been an honor posting with you comrade kim-salute

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

but seriously, the posting power is about to decrease tenfold. we will miss you, ulysses fidel-salute-big
