Title: Still Alive !!
Post by: TechPro on January 25, 2025, 10:17:48 AM
Yes, it's true... I'm still alive.

... and ... I still play Descent (all versions) from time to time, plus Overload.

Are you still alive?

Still here. And I played some of Overload just two days ago.

Although I did play some of Descent 1 & 2, I mainly enjoyed Descent 3 (offline and online).
Overload however, which clones 1 & 2 more, is an awesome game! It beats Doom in my book.

I will see in a month or so how I am going to feel when my wife gives birth to twins. I already have three kids now.
And I've been working on a better diet. It's not a New Years resolution, but something I have to do. My father died back in '09. He was diabetic and just ignored it. I don't want to go down the same path. So I know a lot have resolutions that fail in 3-5 weeks. Mine can't. I have to get better, I want to stick around a while and be with my family.

I miss the Descent 3 online days. They were a blast. Still, hands down, my favorite time gaming.

I am....  :)
I haven't played games in years and barely look at forums anymore but once a year or so I peek. I'm still riding in a helicopter but that's as close as I get to a pyro or games in general. Lets see, I'm married to Mr. Wonderful, no children, still live in the same house I grew up in and still believe humanism is the way of life.

Part of my childhood is here so I'm glad it's still kicking.....
Love you guys.

None of my business I know, but if it's okay, how many years have you been married?

It is nice to have the same routine and/or place of residence for years.

I'm mostly just surviving at this point. Last year, I was hired as a full-time employee at the place I've been a contractor at for years, so that's definitely a plus (and the good health insurance came in handy when I got hospitalized for a little bit last May...paid 95% of that cost).

I'm in a few Descent based Discords (such as the one linked earlier in this thread), though I don't talk much in any of em. Shouldn't be hard to find me though :P.

I'm still working at the same place I've been working for nearly 32 years ... which kind of sounds boring and redundant but thankfully the job seems to always be changing.  Getting to the point where retirement is coming into view.

I'll take boring. I got kicked to the curb last September after I turned 65. I was with that company for 13 years. It took me 6 months to land another job at half the pay, but I'm thankful I have one now.
