I've been gone a couple months. On a secret mission. TOP SECRET.

Can anyone tell me what it was?

Where my homies at?

@kobenz, @antigermanist, @retoor, @Lensflare, @Root, @figoore,

Any regulars I left out?

Peeps probably thought I was dead or something.

@Wisecrack Hey!

It was probably proving P=NP and disproving all of those silly “genius” mathematicians.

@Root I have learned the infuriating tale of approximate algorithms and high degree polynomials.

Sad trombone noises, lol.

And whats been keeping you busy lately Root?

@Wisecrack Work (Hell), kids, Factorio, gardening (cherries! blueberries! Apples!), and chickens. Plus, of course, the never ending housework.

I just went to the forest and sat next to a waterfall. That was nice. I’d post pictures, but this place has reached the end of days and uploading no longer works.

How about you? It’s been so long!

@Root Hey gardening, thats chill af.

I do the same. Built a chicken coop. Got the peppers going. Planting some japanese maple, got the citrus going.

Been a hot minute since I played factorio. Always demolished by hubris (& aliens) while I pollute like a third world dictator.

Miss hiking myself. Hoping to get back into kayaking this fall. Get outside every chance you can get.

It does seem like those of us that remain are at the last cafe at the end of the universe.

Devrant's been a fun ride, & a moment in time.

As many total strangers I've met in real life, befriended, and had tell me "hey you're fucking cool, come crash on my sofa", I don't think any of them ever knew me, least not half as well as the people on DevRant.

I pretend to be simple-minded in real life to give people more space to be themselves. Like them old 'drunken master' kung-fu movies, minus the kung-fu.

It's a weird sort of zen.

Happy for having known everyone here though.

Are you on the devRant discord?
If not, we should share contact details in some way.

@Root That'd be cool. I'll get on it sometime, wave hello at whoever has stuck it through.

Is it this link?

https://discord.com/invite/J2BVdVm

@Wisecrack I don’t know. That one says expired for me.

@Root I have to start one anyway. Publishers recommend it for new games. Read that somewhere and I was like ehhhhhhhhhh, eventually.

Heres a link. https://discord.gg/VsTBYrS8

Maybe we can drag a few others into the brick pub fight club sometime. I mean the DR discord.

What do you mean?

@Root / @wisecrack Snek is gaining quite some popularity but I'm not offering it as alternative for Discord / Matrix yet. I'm working hard on the platform and do often get some contribution from others. Snek has a loyal fanbase including from devRant but it just does not have the quality to really release to public yet. I wait until it gets a bit better. Some screens: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens..., https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens.... Also, you can work together. You have channels and every channel has hist own Ubuntu container. Together with channel members you can work on it together. Just for showing eachother stuff. Also, you can publish repositories with it, it's a kinda github. On top of it, it comes with sftp storage. So all the things you do on container, are not lost. You can just connect and login using your crudentuals and download or upload stuff. On top, it has rich media sharing. But be patient :)

@Wisecrack

seriously? I don't make the list ??

@SidTheITGuy This is why my shout outs usually include "and anyone I forgot to mention."

Don't feel bad. I once forgot my brothers name when introducing him to a girl.

Also funny enough, I once forgot the word "window".

Was forced to describe it as "that see-through looking glass you hang on the wall to look through surfaces."

I used "looking glass" because I'd also forgotten the word for mirror.

The lesson is don't get into forty+ fights in school and in the street growing up. Head Trauma is interesting like that.

@Wisecrack there is also a second discord server with other and older members.

Still quite active https://discord.gg/2gEUWvkyMc

@wojtek322 Praise zeus!

Thank you. Gonna join tonight and shitpost.

I didn't end up joining. Shame on me. Family called me away to play scrabble!
