Probably busy like me! Not much to game, usenet, etc. :(

The last time he stopped posting, I thought he had died. I thought the
same of Xocyll when he stopped posting awhile back. Then they both
started posting again.

I need to break this habit I have of thinking the only thing that
would take someone away from usenet is their own death.

With that said, as you said, hopefully Spalls is ok.

Well for me it was a severe case of pneumonia and 3 months in Hospital.

With Spalls it would more likely be that the Number made him actually
play some backlog.

I finally got round to installing Cyberpunk 2077, bought on sale
sometime last year.

This little game popped up in a Discovery Queue and I immediately
thought of Spalls.

Nah, he added one game too many to his collection and it all imploded
into a digital black hole. :P

Somewhere along the way I got a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 on both Gog _and_ Steam. It's the only game I have duplicates of right now since I lost my password to that other place.

Maybe they did die, but respawned back to life. :P

Spalls is probably fine, but I'll say a prayer to The Number (and my
chosen god) anyway.

Our Number, who art in the cloud,
Hallowed by thy Sum.
Thy games do come, games free and fun,
In PC as it is in consoles.

etc etc etc. I'm not going to blaspheme any further.*

Feel better Spalls! Come back soon. (*fingers crossed*)

Well now that you've posted this, you have to realize he is now
compelled to wait it out for a few days, maybe weeks in order to make
it more interesting and drama filled when he decides to reappear.

He's done it before :)
