Look at that, two posts in a week...a new personal record! The last few weeks felt like a bit of a turning point in my personal life. I know the world is on fire and everything in the news is doom and gloom, but I kinda feel like I'm getting my shit together! Although I'm retiring from RTUK* it's so I can go back to uni and study something I'm incredibly passionate about that will hopefully help a lot of people. I also do some 3D printing on the side and will be launching the new website in the next week or so. I'll share it here when it's live. Finally, and this is partially due to COVID, but I'm getting my work-life balance sorted. My main business is running events and COVID has put that on hold, so I've had the time to take stock of what's important and cut out the busywork. With this extra time from having less work and retiring from RTUK I've had this weird nostalgia for the community AND the time to actually do something about it. This is why I'm starting to use the site here a bit more. I think @topham has probably been the biggest inspiration for getting back to writing here. I haven't spoken to him in a looong time, but back on the old site I remember him making an effort to write here every day. I just checked in and he's just short of a 2,500 day streak of writing here every day! Now I don't have that kind of commitment, but he clearly does and that is absolutely fascinating and inspiring. The Community Hunter folk have also been a huge inspiration back in the day, making and managing Achievement Hunter-style content for years! @Hightower @Tudor and @The_Hybrid spring to mind. Now I'm not looking to make the Community Hunter-style content or be as prolific a writer as Topham, but I'm feeling motivated to put something out there into the community, so here I go...slowly putting it out there. [I know nobody is reading this stuff right now, so I'm pretty much having this conversation with myself (!), but I'm thinking of this as a quiet space to hone my skills. One day I'll be better and put some quality content out, but for now you're welcome to share in a sort of inner monologue!] --- *Don't worry about RTUK though...it's being held together with safety pins, glue, and these two amazing guys and their team!: @perseuslad & @TopherBeadle https://roosterteeth.com/g/rtuk
