Soupe Du Jour:Life doesn’t get in the way.You’ve heard the phrase “Life gets in the way”, and sometimes it may seem that way. I’ve been a long-time member at PlanetDescent.net and before that was active on PlanetDescent.com, DescentBB.net, and DescentBB.com. Unfortunately, as time went by I eventually was spending more time on other stuff and a lot less time on Descent related things. This being the reason (and not an excuse) for me seeming to be “gone” for a long time with only occasional appearances. You could say for me “Life got in the way”, but that wouldn’t be the truth.
Read MoreRather, Life brought even more to me and my family which meant there was so much more to be involved with as Life moves forward. My boys (all three) are taller than me with the youngest about to be taller, and the youngest will be a Senior next school year. My daughter is a woman and I cannot classify her as “my little girl” anymore. My wife has multiple projects that she works on (and I fully support her with the projects) that she is able to do with her physical limitations. My job has continued to grow and change over the years with multiple projects and continued changes in the future. Of course, up-keep of home and possessions is always a “grown up” attention point along the way. All these contributed in unexpected ways to shift my focus to things other than Descent. You could say “Life got in the way” for me, but I would challenge that and say “Life blossomed” which is how it should be for me, and for you, too. It occurred to me, this is beginning to say that I’m going to continue to be essentially “gone”, but that isn’t true. Rather, thanks to the Coronavirus self-quarantine, I’ve ended up with more available time in the home. Thankfully, my job allows me to work from home easily (yeah, I’m lucky that way). What I’m trying to say is while Life has brought much into my life that shifted my attention, I have not forgotten Descent (in fact I still often play Descent, and now also Overload), and I have for some time wanted to do more again with these games and the Descent community. Oh sure, I’m getting older and my reflexes are not as good as they once were (my boys beat me much more easily now), but I still enjoy Descent and it is still and well favored and honored piece of my collection of entertainment activities. I hope Descent still is for you, too. 13 comments | Write Comment |
