Quote from: Vilis on December 26, 2023, 02:09:29 PMOne of the worst things was that I had bet running a mega long 5E campaign in the Midgard setting which had truly been a lot of fun with a lot of sessions having been just made up on the spot. At one time I was drawing up a map for the players and someone remarked "I wonder where this goes?"  I was thinking the very same thing as I had no idea myself. Definitely keeps you on your toes. I had a vague overall idea, but no details whatsoever.

Just to keep from being idle I started attending film school. When a friend of mine who is getting his masters as a producer asked if zi could write him something he could film. I said "of course!" But had no idea how you format a script. So I enrolled. I pitched him my idea which is a procedural meets cosmic horror for. He loves the idea, so I'm writing a TV series Bible for it and pieces for a pilot. I have good feelings something will come of it.
 
Finally was able to reset my password. I managed to move back to Seattle and over a good long while ended up as an SDET in Seattle at Starbucks.
Unfortunately I stuck with my gaming lifestyle from my teens to my 20s including the awful diet. I managed to give myself diabetes because carbs are just so wonderful. And while I was pretty on top of it for a while, I could not 100% give up on carbs and ended up having a near fatal stroke when I was having it I had no idea what was going on. I got up to get my iPhone because I knew something seriously bad was going on. But when I sat on th edge of my loveseat I must have fallen off. When i came to I was lying on the floor and couldn't get up or understand why. I did realize I was still holding my iPhone in my right hand and while I wasn't able to get up I was able to say "Hey Siri, call 911. Turns out I nearly died and was in the ICU for a while until I was transferred to the best skilled nursing facility in Seattle. I learned a lot there about recovery and definitely made some progress before going to the acute rehab facility when Covid was breaking out. I coughed once around a therapist Who got so worried I had Covid and I was then isolated and got the way up your nose swab where they get a bit of your brain before sending it East to get results. I did not have it. And when my incredibly short rehab there was over went to an adult family home which is a place where people get parked because they can't take care of themselves.
That's why I have been so quiet again for a few years.
