It's that time again where I post a random life update and then disappear for like a year!
I turned 30 last year. I don't know if I ever mentioned it to you guys around here, but I cosplayed as being 3 years older than I actually was for the entire time we were all active here; so, what I meant to say is that I'm 33 lol.
Anyway, it wasn't a traumatizing event like others my age have made it out to be. If anything, I finally felt my age when it happened.
I'll still randomly play a game every now and then, but not nearly as often as I used to. I'm still lifting and stuff. I was (indoor) climbing for the past 2 years or so pretty consistently, but I've since moved away from all the good climbing gyms around here, so I fell out of the habit. I'm starting to pick up running again instead. I guess the one negative of having turned 30 is that I actually wake up with random back pain sometimes, and I'll randomly hurt something while walking down the street. So, I've been shifting all of my training and activity towards a focus on longevity. I would like to not be hobbling around when I'm 50, so I guess wish me luck there.
I'm still doing software engineering. I actually just left my job for Reasons™; I'm currently taking a break. But I was doing engineering management for a while, which was okay - ultimately, though, I think getting back to actually writing code is what will make me happy.
Finally, the juicy part of the update: Some of you guys may remember that I was religiously obsessed with S4 League from like 2008 to 2012. Well, in 2022, shortly after moving to where I am now, I matched with someone on a dating app. On our first date, I mentioned that
