@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.
@LtSarge I’ve delighted in our interactions and your many shared posts, so please know that your well-expressed posts are definitely appreciated. Sometimes I may not have the time or opportunity to reply, but I enjoy reading your thoughts nonetheless. There’s several games over the years that I’ve played merely because of your posts which inspired me to do so. And a lot of those games ended up being favorites of mine.
It is true that the forums have lost much of their activity, and I’m not sure exactly what to attribute that too. I used to be more active. Alas, lately I hit the threads in spurts, whereas I used to post daily. Maybe we’re all getting busier? But I do understand the notion that sometimes I’ll post some thoughts and I feel like they get lost out in the ether. But please know that yours do get read, and like I mentioned, sometimes even motivate and encourage people unknowingly!

The same goes for Nintendo Life as well. I am a member of those communities only from 2017 but back then it was busier. I also saw many regulars just disappear in the last 3-4 years.
I admit I’ve fallen into only intermittently checking in here and it is a shame this place feels like it’s been on a bit of a slow death spiral over the last couple of years.
It’s still nice to check in and see familiar faces but I agree that discussion has dropped off a bit and it can feel a bit like shouting into the internet ether at times.
