Anywhere else is fine, Steam if you'd like, if so, just send me a friend invite

can't think of anywhere else. discord? steam? what's your bet?

Where is this somewhere private

somewhere private.

Private or public

@Dokun Hey, sorry to bother if your busy with stuff, but mind if we talk? it's really important. i need your help.

appreciate alot. i'll see you around.

We'll see each other again sometime later. And as a gift, here's an award. That's all I can give for now

maybe when i'm fully healed. as of now, i just need to be filled with good things in-mind, to cover up those wounds. i left it open for so long, and it took time for me to think about closing it.

i hope you and i can fully adjust. and you can go back to modding like before. i know this sounds embarrassing saying this in the thread, but this takes me back to when we first met on your thread.

my mind's too incomplete to be honest, but even after i disappeared, it's hard to hold back from crying alot. thinking about the good old days we spent. knowing i will never get it back. but i did what i had to do, at that time. i realize that the more i hate you before, the more i'm hurting myself. and i couldn't tell you that in time..

It's fine, dw, no reason to wait anyway when I have something busy to do too.

Me too, no reason to hate someone forever when you're no longer associates with them.

That means I hope we're peace, and I'll let you move forward, same goes for mine.

Well, if you still need help with mods, I'm open.

FYI i was eating. that's why i replied late. and had to do chores

i don't hate you anymore. but i used too, to the point where i vow to never use the talents that you taught me. compressed mods, icons, etc. but i've fully let go of that now. and just rather heal and move forward. because i always wondered to myself, why i can't keep hating someone forever.

i'm glad you could resonate. but it's so unexpected for me. the night before i made this account, i had to remind myself, that 'he' (you) we're not the reason i was an author in the first place. and if i came back to modding, i would not need to worry. because with almost a year, disappeared without telling you, i was aware that my return would not shock you in the slightest, or ask me why i disappeared. because i thought you would just sugarcoat your mistakes, and move on.

and now, i'm proven wrong, once again. i wasn't hoping you would reach out to me the second you discovered my presense. but deep down, i feel like you would. and if it ever came to that, well... i don't know if i should be mad at you from before, or just shocked to the point where i don't know what to say...

I can tell you’ve been carrying a lot, and honestly, same here. Things didn’t end well between us, and I’ve thought about it more than I expected. I wasn’t trying to bring up the past with that icon—I just saw it and thought maybe it’d reach you without being weird.

I get you walked away from a lot, even your account, and starting over with just two games can’t be easy. I’m not in your shoes, but I know how it feels to reset when you didn’t plan to. What happened between us hit us both in different ways. Still, it’s good to see you uploading and moving forward. That takes something.

Anyway, I’m just gonna say this—I’m not here to bother you. You said you’re still adjusting, so I’ll leave you to rebuild, focus, do your thing. Take care.

my mind was too overwhelmed with everything that's happened between you and me. and now, i have to start from scratch with only two games. unlike before. if you understand how that feels. since your not on my shoes.

why would you? your not the one who lost the argument. i walked away from everything and let you do whatever you do. i felt like nuisance to you all the time. after that, i didn't care what you would do next. after i left, i doubt you would still look for me. i deleted my account without thinking twice. EVEN if i had alot of games in that account. and now, why come here to tell me about the icons existance? that was a hint for those who might look for the icon. but i had doubts it was still there, because i refuse to look up on how you we're doing with your work. with how long it's been, all i know is you moved on from me, and would no longer ponder if i will ever come back.

i only came back, because i realize you we're not the reason i started modding in the first place.
i had alot to think about, before coming back, and along the way, it was a bit of struggle to not think about the past. and yet, i still upload like nothing happened. as for how i'm doing, i'm still adjusting.

Didn't delete my account because I had a lot of things in here, from amount of mods I've uploaded, to my games, and met with nice people that I wouldn't be able to if I wasn't a modder and just be a lone lurker.

The only reason I knew your existence is thanks to @Speed Racer, and that was yesterday, but, I knew you made another account, but you were under the radar til recently it seems.

Doesn't matter what I said, I don't want to be involved anymore. I've been much better ever since (except college of course, never been better with this shit), and made it even better after I've pissed off a lot of angry mobs Chinese with my mods (fun fact: Daniel is still going, telling people anti compress and shit, but less and less now), and soon I'll come back after I've done tinkering Crowbar and VTFEdit on my Linux, and probably make Daniel pissed off again.

Hope you've been better ever since "that" happened. That's all I'll say.

Sayonara.

i didn't know if it was still there. i had a feeling you deleted it since i nuked everything, including my mods. i know that after all these years, that you might erase everything related to me. including the mods we worked on together. but i didn't expect you to come here and comment.

It's still there of course, you already knew, based on putting that end of the line in parentheses. Hiatus for a year... Same as me, except for a different reason, and I still knew your reasoning. Let the past be the past, they say, I'm not going to bother anymore. Have a good day.
