Hey all,

Been a while since I last dropped in, but I figured I'd have another look seeing as how activity has been picking up again due to more TLC for DRL. How's everyone doing? Any people from the pre-JH era still around?

Cheers,


D

Hey LuckyDee.  :)

I still peek in here from time to time.  I recently idly picked up JH and DRL again after a long absence, but I haven't done much in the way of serious attempts at challenges.

Other than that, I haven't been doing great, if I'm honest.  World politics are giving me anxiety, and I'm already prone to anxiety in the first place.  :P  I'm surviving, though, and occasionally streaming myself playing games on my Twitch channel, so good times are still had, at least sometimes.  :)

Hey dude, good to hear from you - how's Diamond doing? I hear you on getting anxious about daily affairs - things aren't really looking better when you live in Europe instead of Canada, but at least I'm still a dab hand at creating my own problems so I can blame myself most of the time XD

I found out DRL actually has its own TvTropes page, which triggered me into wanting to fire up the game again, not to mention I still have a JH Steam key to cash in. It's just that we moved into a new house a month and a half ago, and my setup is currently waiting for my own room to be furnished, so it'll be another couple of weeks.

Regardless, I thought it'd be good to get reacquainted with the Forge again. It's been good to me pre-JH, and I don't easily forget where I came from.

Looking forward to seeing what else is going on here.

It's slowly picking up pace since the DRL release to my surprise :).

... and there's more to come.

I came back around about a year and a half ago after getting the itch to play DRL again, which was probably going to be a month or two burst that ended after getting a few more Diamonds, but then development on 0.9.9.8 finally started back up after all this time and so I remained around since, both playing the game a lot and helping around where I can on here, beta testing, and on the wiki.

...how's Diamond doing?

Without wishing to bring the mood down or anything, Diamond sadly passed away a few years ago, pre-pandemic time.  Autopsy was inconclusive about what caused it, though it did reveal that Diamond was female and I had been misgendering her all along.  :P  It happened suddenly and mysteriously while I was at a New Year's party;  I came home to find she'd been coughing up blood all night.  It was a very gory and upsetting thing to come home to.  :(

Aw man, that sucks. Bit late to still offer my condolences, but they're yours if you want them.

Hey man, good to hear from you too - I don't think we were in touch much before either of us temporarily dropped out, but I hear ya on the DRL itch. Recently moved to a new house and still working to get my office/studio set up (I finally have a room to myself rather than occupying space in the living room), but I'll be sure to give 998 a spin once it's up.

I bet you say that to all the girls :x

Yeah I unfortunately wasn't involved much in the community side pre-JH, only making about a dozen forum posts here and then sporadically editing the wiki over the years. Aside from playing 0.9.9.8, 0.9.9.9 just had its first beta come out (check out JH's discord channel to get it), and getting more help with testing it would be swell.

Do I count as an oldie? :D I suppose I'm more of a middle era player, although I mostly just lurked for years.

I've mostly been off and on with DoomRL, along with doing various other gaming and non-gaming otherwise. Within DoomRL, I've written a bunch of guides, got lots of cool mortems, and had fun with pushing ideas for the newer versions with Omega Tyrant.

Life's pretty good on the outside too!
