My apologies first and foremost for being inactive for quite a bit. I've been spending a lot of time studying philosophy and working on myself. I joined a fraternity last year dedicated to making men better and have since been dedicating a lot of time on improving myself.
Plus my wife and I had baby #4 this past October so add that into the mixture and I just find free time extremely limited. I finally beat Elden Ring in December on my Christmas break and it only took almost an entire year to sit down and play it
. One of the greatest games ever btw.
Anyways, I've been lurking more than posting but I'll have you guys know you're always in my thoughts as I hop around.
So in an attempt to make myself a better man, I am going to do some charity. My father always says charity is best done at home first so taking that lesson into heart, I consider D-Pad one of my few homes online so I will do the charity here.
I appreciate everything that @Mirabilis and the mod team have done for us here and am glad to see the site still going strong after all this time. I also appreciate all of you that help keep the site active and the content on the front page. Believe it or not, I get most of my gaming and world news from here and I greatly appreciate all of your opinions on them, even the more controversial ones.
So as a thank you to D-Pad as a whole, I am gifting $100 dollars worth of subs, so that should cover 20 of you?
To qualify for it, all you have to do is say something NICE or appreciative in regards to another poster in this thread. I will then gift your post.
I'll go first, @FactsAreDead I appreciate you. You always go against the grain and tend to get dogpiled a lot for your controversial opinions (which I usually disagree with fyi) but I still appreciate you not bowing out like a little bitch and sticking around.
