Thanks for kind words.
I am not quitting, it's just a break, I'll be back and will continue the Podcast stuff and organizing games, though I'm thinking as a player I'm probably done for life, it's just not enough for me, I want more than this community has ever delivered. Then by the time I come back I'll probably have even better ideas and more prizes to give away!
Learning a new language is a good idea... I'm definitely not short of hobbies, in fact maybe I have too many hobbies lol.
Though, making money is one of the lowest things on my list of worthy things to do in life, why do you think I give money away so often even though I make less than minimum wage lol, I'm trying to stay poor financially but wealthy in every other way, which is working for me. Life would actually be easier for me if money was the only pursuit.
I'm one of these lucky people who would literally rather die, and almost have multiple times in my life, than be walked all over by any corporation or boss. I made myself homeless and sold everything about 5 or 6 years ago for a fresh start and it was one of the best things I ever did. Including my PC and music stuff like speaklers, keyboards, my good NIKE golf clubs, my bike, TV, bed, and other things... At the time like it has all my worms stuff from 2008-2012 so I don't even have my WA replays and games stuff between that time now... THAT was a mistake because I thought I'd saved it all onto a hard drive but I was wrong lol.
Whatever though, it was worth it, my life improved dramatically when I gave up a lot...
That time is coming again, where I give everything away and/or sell it and get another fresh start, this time I don't need to go homeless though because I have my own house.
Edit - I just want to add a few things, for anyone who cares, feel free to ignore...
I feel kind of bad that I cannot finish the Season 33 of TRL as planned, though to be realistic it's just not possible with the situation I am in right now. Every month I put £50 to the side, actually give it to someone I trust and told them to keep it so it doesn't get spend on rubbish like takeaway or whatever... The money is already there for Season 32, the money is already there for the RoR Cup which will be over within the next 3-4 weeks max.
The money for Season 33 is only currently £50 there because Triad is paying his part, and since I'm going on a break I won't be able to fulfil the contract of streaming and advertising for the other £100 sponsorship money. We're not in the future yet lol so I don't have the other £50. However at least Triad is still putting money to the Cup, I'm very grateful for that he's a good man, thank you Triad!
Now, it will take 2-3 months until we reach the Playoffs for Season 33 which would start on 1st July, then we would have to wait an unknown amount of time anywhere from 1 week to several months for the players to actually organize their matches and finish the Playoffs so they can get paid... I cannot afford to wait potentially 3-4 months to wrap that up before taking a break that I need sooner than later. So I am still going to stick around to finish the other events since they are all wrapping up over the next month anyway and we've got the Podcast with Bloopy as well.
My hope is at the very least, once I've got things sorted on my end that Mablak and I can continue the CWA Podcast together if we're still around. We will see, I honestly don't know what the future will hold, though every fibre of my being is screaming at me to shake things up a bit and try to be part of something meaningful in my non-digital life.
I've had a lot of free time over the past few years due to having the support & freedom to get back on my feet while making a visible effort in life to get a good career, I've been studying for a while and working on my mental health and that time has come now for me to get back out there.
Also, as I get older, it's just not as appealing to sit indoors on a computer all the time, I lost over 10 stone in 2 years and I've put about 4 stone back on sitting here playing worms over the winter, part of this break is to focus on better dieting, exercising and to begin a new career. So even when I come back, It will be slightly less involved anyway as I'll have less time so will focus on the more stream/event side rather than be a player.
