@ralphdibny Thanks, it's great to finally be back!
@RogerRoger Yeah the break was much needed but it's nice to be back now! Definitely missed a place where I can just relax and talk about games.
@Sorteddan Hello! Yeah I'm just going to ignore those comments. After all, we're all here to talk about the thing we love the most, which is video games. So it's sad to see people being negative all the time.
@Kidfried Hey it's great to see you again Kidfried! It's been a long time, hope you've been well.
You are not missing much by skipping the article comments. Although things seem to have gotten a little better of late, there have been a few messy ones which got a bit out of hand. And of course @nessisonett is a paid commentator now, so we leave the battles with him.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@LtSarge Also, I was thinking that we were talking about you not too long ago (nothing nasty, don't worry lol), so it's a bit weird that you decided to come back now! A bit of forum magic going on ha ha!

@JohnnyShoulder Oh really? I thought you guys had forgotten all about me.
But yeah, what a coincidence. I just decided to come back now because I've been writing a lot lately on Pure Xbox and that place just don't see as much activity as Push Square, so I was barely getting any replies there. I feel like it's kinda pointless to write that many posts if nobody is going to reply to them, you know? I'm already experiencing a huge difference now writing here, which is great! I've missed talking with so many passionate people.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Hey Foxy, good to see you again and yeah I've been doing well! I appreciate hearing that, my passion for gaming is still as strong as ever. How have you been then?
Pretty good @LtSarge ... Last few months have been rather exhausting though and haven't been gaming as much so I'm glad to be on my summer break at the moment before going back to work in a few weeks

I just now am seeing this. I was reading your Resident Evil and other posts and just thinking “How have I not seen this person’s posts before? They clearly have a great passion for gaming.” And only now see you’re not someone new after all! So glad you’re doing well and still gaming.
We’ve seen a few regulars drift away this past year along with you like Arugula and KalofKrypton among others. So it’s nice to see you’re here since in today’s COVID world you never know what may have happened to people.
And it’s funny because like @colonelkilgore said we were jesting with him that he was actually you incognito since he showed up around the time you left and he has been burning through lots of games quickly like you tend to do. 😅
I have spent a little time over on the Xbox sister site from time to time when things get quiet here and it does seem a little less busy over there. The comment sections of the articles here have been quite busy — I remember when I first joined that a big article would rarely hit 100 comments and now it’s commonplace for them to go over that, even for a smaller article. I still engage with the comments but certainly roll my eyes at a lot of them. Overall they aren’t as toxic as they were there for a while though. I have disagreed with some and replied and only had obnoxious responses a couple times in the last year, but I have to be selective on who I reply to as some people just can’t be reasoned with.
Anyways, I’ll look forward to having your insight around again!

@Th3solution Thanks, it's great to see you again mate! I've actually been worried that I'll start talking with older members without reintroducing myself to you guys, lol. I guess if that ever happens I'll just write it at the end.
Sad to see that some have left but hopefully they'll return one day once the situation in the world has become better.
My impression of @colonelkilgore so far is that he seems to be even more passionate about gaming than I am. He's buying and playing games at a very fast rate, lol. It's really nice to see that though because like I mentioned before, I've really missed discussing games with passionate people.
I mean, Pure Xbox can get pretty busy in the articles but the forum is still a far cry from being an active place. That's kinda why I'm staying away from Push Square articles but hanging out at the forum, while on Pure Xbox I don't mind writing in the articles while sometimes checking out the forum. Both sites have aspects that complement each other in my case, which is great!
@LtSarge chatting games is something I don’t really get much of an opportunity to do irl, so more than happy to get deep into it here. Stumbled on the place in December and really glad that I did… I think being a member here may have increased my passion for gaming if anything.
Although I obviously never knew you previously, it’s good to have you back… this place only improves with the more regulars 👍
