Iāve known about this for quite some time. Totally understand the reasoning for it and respect it.
Appreciate all you did and do

No one would dream of asking. Thatās your business and itās perfectly okay. Just know that you are loved and appreciated. Youāve helped this community for a long time. But even all good things come to an end. May all your future adventures be as fulfilling.

Thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart. The players of Boundless, while never a huge community, are incredible beyond wordsā¦ I can never have enough ways to express the kindness, talent, coolness, compassion, and generosity of those Iāve been privileged to know and in some cases the honor to become friends with. Leaving and the decision has torn me up, torn my heart out more than I thought possible for anything game related (games are supposed to be a fun escape, after all) - only adding that to express to you just how much I think the world of all of you.
And I am still here for you if you need meā¦ as long as my knowledge of the game is relevant, please feel free to tag or message or whatever, Iāll help how I can! (My note about no messages is only with regards to messages about my leaving) If you need personal help, an ear to listen, ect., message me wherever. Personally, life been rough here but Iām plugging along (the issues Iām having not related to this); late Dec might totally drop off for awhile due to surgery, if I donāt answer around then if you try.
Thank you all again, love you so much!!

I didnāt want to post because of your no messages message, but youāll definitely be missed in the game. Youāve been a firm fixture and itās sad to see you leave. I hope that your surgery goes to plan.
If I ever try to roll a new planet, I might bug you for advice on biome choices!
Take care.

Hey my stuff finally got looked at by a serious/competnt doctor here and they want to operate. I was so focused on getting a steroid shot that I forgot to take a photo of the xray of my spine to share! Theyāre probably going to put metal in my back, not in time for snowshoeing this winter but itās looking good for getting a public garden spot this spring, and that means more off-topic photos for here. Iāve been in need of some in-person sangha for years and gardening ppl are good and looney. Anyhoo maybe we can compare stitches! Wishing you so much well.

I hope yours goes well, @Solgato!! Hereās whatās going on with me, I donāt mind sharing openly, seems to be some stigma around what Iām dealing with so I think discussing it can be a good thing -
Getting full dental implants. Permanent solution for a long standing problem - Iāve had bad acid reflux issues from a young age. Damage mostly to back teeth and backs of front teeth so not disfiguring, and combined with bad anxiety (made worse by a painful root canal some years back), put off fixing. Also, here in the US, even good dental insurance pretty well stinks. My momās passing, as much as it destroyed me, left me where I could do the permanent fix now. Turns out too, that regular fixing with crowns and all would be comparatively not that much less, Iād still be fighting issues through life, and would be a lot more appointments to fix. Results will look better this way, and Iām only 42 and heal well, so right now a good candidate, oral surgeon agreed this was the better route for me. With this, just one knock-out and I have teeth. Well, temp ones until I heal and the permanents go in.
The healing is the rough part with going this route. At least four months on a liquid and very soft diet. Iām working on regaining a little weight before thisā¦ I have appetite issues anyways and trying to eat enough with just that will be hard. Scheduled it for when I did so I can take extra time off over the holidays. My big fear too is Iāll wake up during it, be in pain, and not be able to communicate it - that happened when I had a colonoscopy, I donāt take sedation well, kick stuff out quickly.
Anyways, when I talk to people, turns out a lot have issues but it is embarrassing to talk about. So for those that do, youāre not alone. A shame dental insurance here is like that - it is very connected to overall health after all, things like an abscess can kill. They wonāt take my insurance at all for this, it would cover so little that it is cheaper for me for them not to because of the work theyād have to do if they took it!

Sync! I had some sort of wierd epoxy resurfacing with an Apollo gun done by suprise when I thought I was just there for a bunch of fillings and the new surfaces were fine until they broke off, leaving me stumpy past the fangs. I have to get stuff pulled so I can eat apples again coz I live in MacIntosh land and a couple of months ago one went total golfball tho it didnāt hurt. Consult is this friday on my hoppy barfday, even! Iām on disability until they fix my back, but at least it looks like Iāll get another round at getting my life back. Iāve still got my linen for dressmaking in storage on the west coast and summers are swampy af on the east coast. I usually start obsessively watching NTSB disaster investigation videos as anaesthesia gets closer, but thatās just me.
