The "I'm Not Dead!" Thread (member updates)

[rcom88]

I've got a job now! Yay... Like, I'm really glad this place isn't dead yet. So many memories, and of course SPC is still a great show, even though I haven't watched it in years... But yeah, I've been largely unemployed for a long time up until a couple months ago. It doesn't pay much, but it's something, and I'm pretty happy doing it. So, that's the big new thing in my life. Still unlucky in love for the most part sadly, but it's not all bad. The new Gorillaz album is awesome, and I'm still skateboarding, and the MLP movie comes out in the autumn of this year, so there's a lot good coming in the near future, I'd say... How is everyone?

Congratulations on the job.

I'm glad that this website is still around as, like you said, there's a lot of memories with this place. The SPC is also a great show filled with memories, so I think that fits.

I'm definitely glad that you got a job that you enjoy doing.

I'm okay. I'm going to school, hanging out with friends and family, and doing my thing.

I'm actually currently on Twitch.tv. I stream retro games, and I just love chatting about all things retro.

Nice, Rcom. I'll check out your twitch.

Nice, Rcom. I'll check out your twitch.

Thank you.

Yeah, I love the idea of streaming retro content. It's a subject that is dear to my heart and it's a LOT of fun for me.

Been writing fanfiction off and on, watching Red Vs. Blue reaction vids on YouTube, and posting playthroughs of the Classic Mega Man series on said website. I'll include a link to my channel in my signature for anyone who's interested.

Cool, CRB.

Right on, CRB.

It's cool to be doing your own thing.

Happy June! I'm not dead. I should probably find some new forums to lurk on... Hmm...

Happy June to you, too. It's been a good month so far for me, so that's something to be grateful for.

I do know what you mean. It's always nice to find other great places to inhabit. Me? I'll check this place every now and then.

I think it's really cool that the SPC/KNT fans are doing some cool things on their own.  My Twitch channel is going pretty well, and I'm doing it while I play the games that I love, so that's something to be proud of.

Cool, yeah. I'm glad to hear your Twitch is doing well.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

The really cool thing about it is that I am doing it as me, you know? I have a huge passion for Retro, and that's what I stream. People just get behind me, and that's just amazing.

Nice! Also it looks like it's just you and me on this site these days, heh... *sigh*

Nice indeed. Yeah, it looks that way. I feel that I should have joined back in 2005, probably would have gotten more mileage out of this place. In any event, it is what it is.

Hello to everyone - and that includes any lurkers out there 

...moved to a flat, made redundant, moved out of a flat, paid off a loan, visited Tokyo, worked some temporary work in the UK justice system, and as of now, 95.6% sure I will be back in permanent employment in a chemical plant by the start of next month.

Also been writing - very slowly and more often I end up with a notebook of notes rather than any chapters, but still, I seem to enjoy it, and that's the main thing.

I'll make sure to keep a better eye on this place and follow up on any links posted here...

Hope all is OK and  to all

Well, it's good to hear from you.

You sound like you've been super busy. How was Tokyo? I've wanted to go to Japan for so long, but I've never been.

You're certain to have permanent employment in a chemical plant? I definitely hope so. Please keep me updated.

That's cool that you've been writing. And, yes, the most important thing is that you enjoy it. What exactly do you write?

So, my Twitch channel is doing pretty darn well. I enjoy streaming Retro games, adding retro alerts, etc. I just like playing games and vegging out with people. It's a lot of fun.

Tokyo - Only there for over a week, and need to go back again. Amazing place, was there in May 2017 and the shops were never-ending...Donki in particular. Think of something, and they sold it. I managed to track down a shop selling a little something which I think was on 7F here (but checking now reveals that store may have closed)... While there I seemed to eat mostly pizza. I can also say that the lift in the SkyTree is the smoothest I have ever been in.

Back to the present, and my first day in Chemical Plant Zone went very well, for the first time I have my own office, door and everything (After working in open plan offices or factories since 2001, to work in an office room is quite odd and takes a bit of getting used to.)

Writing - ah yes. I had an idea way back in 2007-8, sketched it out more a few years after, then since then I've been slowly making may way through chapters, but mostly writing pages of notes on character backgrounds, plot threads and even more notes. It's...kind of connected to SPC, but not from the start.

That's awesome that you had a blast in Japan. The stores having such a wide variety of stuff makes me want to go even more. Thanks for the in-depth response.

You have your own office? That's awesome.

What you're writing is kind of connected to the SPC? I'm very curious now. It's good to get background information before you start, though, so good idea.
