@Pizzamorg Haha, I'm never the most well liked forum member either, but this place has always made me feel welcome. I appreciate that it's such a tight-knit community where everyone (mostly) gets along and is happy to join in on any discussions. It's a shame to see it shrinking in members over the years, but I can't say I've always been the most active either. I hope to never see this space dying, because it's genuinely my favourite place and people to talk and read about games with.
Thank you all for your kind words, really very much appreciated. Sorry I didn't get a chance to reply yet, I've had a lot on but I read them all as they came in and they meant a lot to me 😀
I gotta shout out @hallowmoonshadow@ralizah@crimsontadpoles too, loved our chats on crash team racing back in the day and along with @lieutenantfatman , some deeper chats in the chitchat thread and reviews thread and various quizzes
Big up to @mcnoisy too for being a stalwart of this forum and @tjuz@ltsarge and tigertiger (i forget their forum tag 😬) as well!
And of course Rog in the star trek and mgs threads!
I have definitely missed a lot of people out but it has been a number of years and I just wanted to give as much props to people who have made a difference in my life
@ralphdibny I'm playing catch up on this thread a bit so apologies for the late reply, but thank you for writing that post. You've hit the nail on the head in a lot of ways.
Roger deleted me on PSN too which I was a bit surprised by, as I got on very well with him. But I don't think there's any malice in it, it felt like he was having a life reset sort of moment. Sometimes you just have to clear out to move forward, so hopefully he's doing good.
I've been on Push Square since 2015 and there have been occasional dips in how busy the forums get, but it does feel quieter overall these days. I feel guilty when I think about this, as I've definitely been less active over the past year or so. The last eighteen months has been difficult for me (divorce, deaths in the family, job loss, all sorts of upheaval) but I'm coming out of it now (hopefully!) so I'd like to try and engage with things like Game Club a bit more. Perhaps it's down to us as regulars to give things a kick when needed.
Anyway good luck with everything, you're a good person and I've enjoyed all engagement I've had with you. Give us all a look in if you ever need to let off steam. The Push Square doors never close.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Gremio108 hey buddy, how could I forget to shout you out?! I always loved your puns and lame dad jokes in the comment sections 😅 (that is very much a compliment btw, not a dig - thought I should clarify because tone can get lost over text!) and also the frequent Angela Lansbury references! 😅😀
Sorry to hear about all that going on with you, I think a lot of similar stuff has happened with me tbh even if the detail/wording is a bit different. I probably don't give it the acknowledgement it deserves in how it's shaped me and my attitude lately.
I see your PSN in your signature, I'll give you an add jic I actually lose contact on here. I'm not on it much tbh but I do like to stay connected with people anyway.
@ralphdibny Haha, compliment fully accepted, lame dad jokes are what I aspire to!
Often it's hard to see the impact these things have on you until you've come out the other side. I'll grab that add later on when I get in. All the best to you too.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@ralphdibny Good luck with your future endeavours! I'll raise my glass of my next St Austell pint to you
@nessisonett I've drifted off this place a fair bit which has (mostly) unintentionally coincided with Rog going. I always found this place slightly more difficult to keep up with than a couple of other forums I use more regularly as the big threads on here can feel a bit disjointed and hard to keep on top of if there are multiple conversations going on.
I think there hasn't been that one big release for a while for everyone to rally around in a thread either. The Returnal thread was great for all supporting each other along.
Just out of interest @Thrillho and I dunno if it breaks the rules for you to answer this question, so if it does don't answer I don't want to get you in trouble 😂 But what other forums do you use? I'm very much from that internet era, and a lot of forums I used over the years have closed down, so if you are on some active ones it'd be kinda nice to check out.
Taking a break from online communication for a while. Just because I feel, that for me, personally IRL communication is healthier and better for me. But it's been nice to chat to all of you, and share moments of humour and wonder over the years, I wish you all the best, and if you are curious about whether I actually manage to beat Sekiro, as I know some of you have been following my progress, you can check my PSN Profile (Link on my PushSquare Profile) later, to see if I got the Shura trophy for completing the game with that ending!
Goodbye!
N.B I won't delete my profile as I may return later but don't be caught off guard/offended if I don't reply in my usual prompt fashion.
@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Sad to see you go, mate. I've enjoyed following your reading in the books thread. Hopefully you'll pop in from time to time to say hello
I think I'll also be leaving the forums. There's barely any activity and most of the times, it feels like I'm just talking to myself. Not a big deal though considering I've lost interest in talking about games and would rather just spend what little free time I have actually playing games.
@Jimmer-jammer I’m a little late in replying (it’s been an especially tumultuous week in my life) so I’m not sure if you’ll get to see this tagged post, but just wanted to say that I hate to see you go, although I do support and understand whatever direction you take. For what it’s worth, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts, which are always insightful and interesting. You have a knack for articulating your thoughts in ways that really make sense and are polished. I also must express my appreciation specifically for the encouragement you’ve given me. I know it’s hard to get a feel for how our words can inspire and motivate over the anonymous internet, so please know that you’ve had a positive impact on at least one fellow Push Squarian (and I presume countless more) through your considerate replies and authenticity. I can count many times when one of your kind replies has brightened my day, even when sometimes that reply was directed to someone else. It says a lot about the genuine caliber of person you are, and so I thought you should know it doesn’t go unnoticed.
