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

[ANE]

Yay! Glad to see this is back :-) Hope everyone is as OK as can be.

[blind2d]

I'm okay. Still here, still queer. Got a cold, but not a terrible one. Still skating, still love animation.

The forum is still here!! I was sad when it wasn't showing, just decided to check again today and here we are! Now that you mentioned Discord, it would be nice to transfer the forum there just in case; I hope this community will never die!

I'd like a discord group, could be pretty cool.

[MitchZer0]

Merry Christmas and happy new year everyone!

[MitchZer0]

2024 is off to a rather rocky start, but I just saw the new Wonka movie (Yeah, I know it's over a month old) and it was pretty great. Hopefully this year has some nice movies and such

One of the things that I love about this community is that we're very loyal to the franchise, even if we may not be here much.

I am glad that a lot of you are doing well, and it's always nice to hear what you guys and gals have been up to.

I've been working out and getting back into fitness last year after being inactive since 2006. I've been having fun doing it, and I feel a lot of the benefits coming in--both physically and mentally. I'm even going for a certificate in fitness, and hope that'll help my career aspirations.

My love for SPC will never die because not only do I enjoy the show, but the show represents good times in my life that I will never want to forget.

It's good to see this place is still around.

[MitchZer0]

I'm sure 13/14 year old me would be happy that people look back fondly on "lolsorandom" stuff now

[KageReneko]

I keep checking here sometimes, every time any of you old geezers post anything, I smile...

Still alive, been watching each Pixar feature film in chronological order, finished Up and now onto Toy Story 3.

I'd say most of them hold up... except Cars, which I didn't watch then, but I felt was very slow paced as I watched it for the first time a week or so ago. I guess I can understand that little kids could like it, but I just never saw the appeal... and eventually I'm going to have to get to Cars 2

Can't remember the last time I posted here. Anyway, I'm dong more or less alright, normal health issues notwithstanding.

I find it difficult to believe that I'm 40 now. When I had my own little fan-site, I was in high school and college. Feels weird looking back on that...

Anyway, I'm stilll doing more or less the same stuff I mentioned the last time I posted in this thread. I also got to sit down a few years ago and finally watch KNT in its entirety, which was nice. 

[KageReneko]

Haven't watched TV or movies in years; I just don't care anymore... I hear about remakes of classic shows and I just say meh...

Anyway, there are rumors about a Gravity Falls revival, I totally would watch that

[MitchZer0]

Finally caught up with everything pixar, so far all movies hold up, except cars... and Toy Story 4, the ending still sucks... and Lightyear, that was just plain lame.

I guess I'll watch the new Pixar films, Toy Story 5 will probably suck, but I might as well witness the downfall of a childhood franchise.

[MitchZer0]

Figured I'd pop in before New Year's, I'm still alive.

Lately been watching various furry vtubers on twitch, playing stuff on my steam deck and getting into linux. Games I've enjoyed so far are Hypnospace Outlaw (though I think I played that mostly in 2023... oops, still a good game), Maid Cafe on Electric Street and On Your Tail (it's glitchy at the moment, but the devs are really nice and supportive on their discord). I've also been playing Beatmania IIDX at Round One lately.

For more serious issues, I've had problems keeping food down lately, and end up vomiting, very embarrassing when I do so in public, no one knows for sure why. Sinuses, slightly spicy food (although it happens with not spicy foods too), stomach ulcer? Who knows, Doctor isn't exactly helpful and feels a bit condescending about it.

I'm surprised the discord got a bit of attention, and even newer non-Edo emporium friends have found it on their own, which is nice.

Hope 2025 will be a good year for us all!

Oh yeah, I also had a dream about Violet's website last night, where I just browsed it and emailed her... could it be some premonition type thing again? Last time I had premonition type dreams, I got THAT microwave.

[MitchZer0]

Officially 2025 for me, had a nice conversation with Methid earlier and hope to reconnect with the community.

[blind2d]

Hey everyone, happy 2025! I'm still around here lurkin', like I do. Hope everyone's doing okay. Hope your digestive issues get better, Mitch.   

[Romero Anchovy]

EE always had a place in my heart. Loved the community and everything. I hope more OGs come back and we get some new members as well.

[Sparky15756]

I'm still alive, well....I got better, became a better person than when I was last here; I forgot the password to my account and email too, and I did say that I'd be under the guise of Sparky15756...

I just didn't think that I'd be doing this because of a new game! But here we are, living and thriving in 2025 with a Pizza Cat game that nobody saw coming but everyone loves to see! And me, I guess!


I've not touched a forum in so many years, it feels weird; I'm used to the quicker places of Bluesky (and Twitter), Discord, and Telegram - I got postdust!

[MitchZer0]

Pretty happy that the news about the upcoming game brought back some familiar faces, I was nervous everyone would be just a silly memory by now, I know I'm kind of a silly memory to many people who were here by now.

Obviously I'm still alive, and also have an endoscopy (yes, getting a camera shoved down my throat) in about a week. Kind of nervous about that, but it's unlikely anything bad would happen during the procedure.

As for games, The Sims had it's anniversary lately, and I ended up buying the Sims 2 Legacy collection on steam. Many people say it crashes, but miraculously it hasn't had any serious issues on Steam deck... well, aside from the landlord getting stuck in my sim's bedroom and me having to enable the move objects cheat to get him out, but glitches like that were pretty standard for Sims 2 back then. Playing it docked on the living room tv with wireless mouse and keyboard on the couch is pretty comfy and rather nostalgic, now I just need to figure out how to get custom content working on it through SteamOS/Linux... and get the Ikea stuff pack added, since that's missing in the re-release.

Well, I'm still not dead!  In fact...just last week, I got to meet D-Mac, but not just as a friend...but as a GUEST AT VANCOUVER'S FAN EXPO.  Deven IS the voice of Sonic in Sonic Prime, after all!  I'm SO proud of him.

First two pics are from his show's panel and the last is a selfie including my wife...who I met because of SPC!  (Also, Deven's holding my scythe there)
