Been a while.

That all depends on how long "a while" has been.

A few new versions have been released, probably. Most of the discussion seems to have moved to discord. Not sure what else might be relevant to you.

****, son...

It's freaking Aldo. And it's this freaking Aldo, and not some copycat. Welcome back onboard, man. You will see many new faces you may not know, but I guess majority will still recognise you.

What did you miss? Well... ****loads of FSO releases, many campaigns, several MediaVPs interations, hundreds of missions produced by the community, millions of polygons... You missed like whole age of PBR or age of Blue Planet.

This place is still pretty much kicking.

Hello Mr. Username-inspirer~

The first FS mod I've ever tried was installing one of your ships ^^

Now that's a blast from the past.  Great to see you, Aldo!

Aldo! Welcome back, man. You know I still love your ships, I just made a modest improvement to the GVF Apis last year. (2019 was definitely last year, right?)

I... totally do not remember what that is.  Think it's been over a decade since I last even looked at 3ds max, or to put it in other terms -  (no specific order) two house moves, one marriage, two babies, one parental death, two redundancies (+1 survived), one PhD and a pandemic ago.  Busy times.

Not really back though, to be honest - just got bored one night in a spate of middle aged ennui and decided to post.

Hey dude.  I live nearer you know, I was in Ayrshire earlier this year and my brother in law and his family moved to Jedburgh.

If I haven't been here since since 2013, what did I miss?

Between the Ashes is good.

It is at least nice to see this place still standing whenever I remember it...

I was actually trying to find a screenshot of the old VBB when I figured I would check to see if this forum was still standing.

The ghoul that was wearing the face of Volition just died? I opened a fine bottle of red wine to toast the memory of a company that should have died a decade ago.

Oh heck! I guess that last Saint's Row really sealed the deal, huh? And/Or Embracer and all the other megacorps buying up studios suck at games.

In case you care, have some files from your long defunct mod returned to you :D

That may be the only copy in existence.

I'm pretty sure it is, it took me forever to find the files back then. The cooler looking/fully turretd Cernunnos that Setekh used for his render is likely forever lost though.

Knowing Steaky-poo, he probably still has it. He's a Math teacher, for pete's sake. Don't they have to be all organized and stuff?

One of my maths teachers was a hot chick in her late twenties. 

She was scatterbrained, but we all did as we were told.

Oddly enough was just reading through the fanfic Secrets Revealed. Some of the early posts are ok, but the latter stuff is dang good writing.

We're always around. What do you mean? ;)

The exit door is blocked from the other side and we can't get out.

Around is a relative term, but it's oddly sentimental to be back here.

Life is kinda just going on the now, GW! How's your world?
