Thanks for the kind words, guys. Sometimes my "crippling self doubt" comes out a little harsher than usual. Didn't mean to turn this into a "Keenan's sob story" thread. 
Zero, I'm sure dating sites were a lot better back then. These days, they're filled with constant microtransactions/subscription fees and are largely populated with bots and Onlyfans models that just use it as free advertisement. I've been on three for about.... three or so months now. I've sent out a lot of messages to a lot of people but I've yet to actually get anything back. At this point, I'm not sure if it's me or if the system is just rigged.
Anyway, moving on from this! My dad's health issues have been largely resolved. His heart surgery was successful and after a weeklong hospital stay to recover, he's back home and has been getting better every day. He walks like four or five miles every day now! Hasn't started actual physical therapy yet, though. I'm sure that will suck. Will also be out of work for a few more months yet. Speaking of work, it's quieted down a lot in the past two or so weeks, which is good. It was insane for a while there and was making me lose my mind on a daily basis. It kinda feels like I've weathered the tough times and that things are starting to look up again. These last few months were rough.
This site definitely does look weird now. I even had to find this forum again and re-favorite it. Seems the site itself got tweaked and that's what caused it.
Love : The Witcher 3! I finished the main story and Hearts of Stone and am gonna start the Blood and Wine expansion tonight. I love this game so much!
Also love : Final Fantasy XVI, Diablo 4 and Street Fighter 6 all come out in June! I haven't bought a new release game since Elden Ring/Gran Turismo 7 both came out in February of last year. I'm dying for something new and all three of these look great!
Hate : Aside from the previously aforementioned dating app woes, I wish I had more time/drive to paint stuff.
