So, we all know this isn't the first time I've done this, but this time it's for real. I am leaving, or more accurately, I am already gone. In a sense, I have been for a while. I've been playing games for a long time, especially TF2. If you look at the hours on my profile, I've spent a little less than 3 and a half months of pure time playing that game. For a long time, my interest in not just TF2, but games in general, has been steadily declining. In the past few weeks, I would connect to a server and play for 30 min, maybe an hour if it was a good day, before disconnecting. For a long time, I've been playing because I still had friends in the community. I can still be friends, but I think the time has come to an end where I should force myself to play a game that I have come to regret. I've spent some time speaking with a few people that I respect, as well as spending a lot of time thinking about how I'm spending my life. It comes down to this: rather than doing something useful, I have been subjecting myself to a pit of stress and regret. I want to change that, to do something with the one life that I have. I will still be on Steam from time to time, but I won't be playing games anymore, and as such have no place as a leader, or even a member, in a community dedicated to games. I do not plan to come back. I wish you all luck, and thank you for the fun I've had in Vent and TS over the years. I'll miss you all.
