Thanks! The 2015 comment was probably just a random thing I found amusing as I was revisiting stuff but idk like.

The thing this is for me is like. Backtracking and revisiting exactly what I was doing a few years back and seeing how they hold up. I've changed a lot since I made everything published on here. I'd say the only things that kept consistent were my sense of humour/writing and also my innate ability to start work on something, foolishly announce it as being worked out and then never touching it again for ages. I guess maybe it's this subconciously sad thing of "ah, remember when I used to dick about and make silly video games all the time? those were the days." but at the same time I don't feel sad about any of this. I kinda wish I was still making this stuff but whenever I do I either get instantly lost and unable to progress past like the first screen or I get really far into making something but then hit a brick wall halfway through it all thus leading to it never being finished. The whole "Just make stuff" rule never really applied to me so yeah.

Another problem is that for some reason I have this weird ego about me on here that makes me feel as if I'm hot shit when in reality I'm totally not, I'm just some random fucker who appeared one day, made some goofy ass games for like 2 years and then completely vanished, only keeping in touch with like three people on here (all of whom are still active). Sure back when I was making stuff this site was somewhat less active and popular and my random shit got a small bit of attention, namely from ghettowreath ("we need more linhat games" etc). It's kinda interesting how a somewhat younger mind can affect your future feelings and thoughts of yourself in a particular area.

Most of what I made on here was what came out of my head on first try. This isn't the first thing I ever did, it was my first use of TGF1, carrying previous experience from KnP. I'm not an actively political person myself and I shan't dive into that, but this thing pretty much explains exactly *why* I'm not actively political, haha. If you play any of my games you'll notice it all has a weirdly freeform and incomprehensible feel to it all. My games are p. much the definition of the "seeing what sticks" line on the front page. There's that ego again.

Anyway, you probably weren't expecting such a big reply and tbf neither was I. It's nearly 3am here and I get rather talkative at late night, even if it's just in the form of replying to a simple comment. I wish you luck in your future game making endevours and hope you dont fall into the same traps I've fallen into repeatedly, including the ones I've not even mentioned.
