A Goodbye Long Overdue

53.4k Ephwurd  4.1 years ago

Hey guys, it's me, the guy who once built big, black, edgy spaceships in his free time. A major shift in my life has happened. I haven't opened this game for almost 2 years, and now upon stumbling upon this site again, I can't help but reminisce the days when I just built spaceships in this game to pass the time. I got noticed by a group called SimplePlanes Masters, made some good waves, but over time my inactivity has left me estranged with this entire community. I don't even know how to recreate my own build style anymore. I've been so detached from this game that all I have left to do is to completely walk away from this game. To those who come across my post, let it be known that I am no longer an active player and builder of this game. I still lurk this site from time to time, upvoting and spotlighting builds that are up to my taste, even drop an occasional comment or two, but I have never opened nor played this game in more than a year, and I'm afraid I will no longer do so. I'm sure a few of you do still remember me. This game has been one of the few memorable moments of my life, and it still is and always will be, but nothing's ever permanent in life, and I must say that I have to move on. Thank you, SimplePlanes!

    I refuse to do so, and I am coming back.

    Farewell, may the solar winds be always on your side (sorry I don‘t even know why or how I came up with that, I guess you being an astro-shipwright have something to do with it).
    Goodbye and goodluck. You will be forever remembered as one of the greatest astro-shipwrights this community ever had, so godspeed, may you have a bright new chapter in your life.

    @EternalDarkness Thank you so much! Getting invited into one of the most wholesome and informative gaming groups I've seen was a big moment for me. I hope I could revisit your Hangouts/Discord someday and see how building standards have changed in the past year!

    If you ever change your mind, your place in SimplePlanes Masters is still waiting for you. As for your estrangement to your techniques, that might even be a good thing, as with all the new stuff we got since you left, those techniques are well obsolete. There's a lot of fun to be had experimenting with new parts and inputs.

    I feel like I'm fading as well, though I haven't done anything monumental

    I’m definitely gonna miss the feeling that I get when I see a new post by you in my jetstream , but that’s ok. It’s been a good ride regardless, so enjoy the next chapter of your life! If, for some reason, you want to build something again, feel free to deviate from your style. To be honest, there are many styles of mine that I have no idea how to build anymore, too.
