@Qiqi Agatha: Don't apologize for taking time replying. I'm moving soon and I've been spending my free time packing lately, so I've also been slow. Plus, life always comes first. I hope your grandmother feels better!

There's way too much AI lately. There's a new google ai that tries to answer what I google, and it's so far off what I'm even searching. I'm like, please no...

@Dubstep: It's been a bit dead around here lately. If you go to the forum main page you can see "Active Topics" and I definitely recommend just jumping into anything that's had a post in like the last week and trying to get a conversation started. Sometimes it just takes 2 or 3 people to get it started and then suddenly it's 20.

@Qiqi Agatha: So glad she's doing a little better!
I'm moving back in with my parents actually. My mom is only like 65, but my dad is nearing 80 and has some trouble around the house. SO when I said I wanted to move back, they invited me to join them. I'll be back in my old bedroom, but we've become friends over the years so I'm actually pretty excited.

@Qiqi Agatha: I didn't get along with my dad growing up, but some years after moving out I started visiting for lunch every Friday and he was a lonely retired man who really loved having someone to talk to every week. So I pretty much won best child after that. Also I don't disagree with him when he says something political, I just nod along and ignore it.

Thank you! I started an art shop on Gaia. I've been hanging there hoping to run into old friends. None yet though.

@Qiqi Agatha: I went to gaia just to see if any of my old friends were there. Then I started posting.
I'm posting a lot now, I really miss being on ana active forum, I just didn't realize it.
I'm also drawing again, which I didn't do for like a year or 2.

@FUZZY: Mostly I stream the Sims and Stardew Valley. I did Sun Haven for a while, but it's a little too similar to Stardew I think, so I'm taking a break while I focus on Stardew because it had a big update. I've done Dreamlight Valley and Animal Crossing, but I kind of fizzled out on those and lost interest. >.<
Mostly I play 'cozy' games, but I do want to get Skyrim maybe. I loved playing Morrowind with my sister. Although I tend towards cozy, I have an insatiable hunger for violence. >:D

I love coloring! I have a million coloring books. Also, I made my own and sell it on Amazon because they have the self publishing, print to order thing. It's mandalas, and I'm pretty proud of myself for actually completing a project. I have another one but I'm stuck like 1/4 of the way through because I wanted it to be 50 pages.

I have items I want to trade! Maybe I should make a list and we can try to get a thread going and see if anyone else is interested. I don't have anything from like the last 2 years though, because that was my hiatus. >.<

@FUZZY: The self publishing on amazon is kinda expensive. It starts at like $5 a book, because they print and build it when someone orders it. It's more expensive than mass producing the book. So I figured it needed to be a fairly large coloring book for people to think it was worth the cost. There's so many cheap coloring books now, especially with the ai generated ones all over.
This is mine if you're curious: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Floral-Mandalas-Adult-Coloring/dp/1071268740

I've been watching DrGluon stream Stardew, and he's hilarious. It's really making me want to play too. XD

I'll make a public exchange thread for people who want to trade items.

@FUZZY: I don't think I've made a pixel in 15 or 20 years. Anything I had is probably long gone from the internet. I used to have a free angelfire website for my pixels, back then. I don't even remember what it was called though.
I used to have a bunch of old art saved to disks, and they're still around somewhere. Everything is packed because I'm moving, but when I unpack I'll see if they still work. If they do I might have some of my old art there.

That's good that you're drawing again @Lina: . You are really talented with having different art skills. How has your shop been going on Gaia?

@Lina: Glad too hear that you are done with packing, and unpacking.

I went to the ER last week due to a too a toothache, I've been trying to get a place its taking time.
