    Haha, holy crap, yeah, that was me a very, very long time ago. Several lifetimes ago it feels. 🙂 I still have a few long term friends from xdo, but I don’t really game with them much anymore.

    What’d you play? 🙂

      lol! Holy shit and so random. I doubt you knew me on DAoC, but I was on Hibernia/Nimue when you all played Midgard.

      I played a Lurikeen nightshade name Cyno and then a Celt valewalker named Chaka. I was in smaller guilds mostly, but TPG did recruit me for a short time.

        Dude, I think I remember your Keen NS Cyno on Nimue. :) Crazy how small of a community this stuff is sometimes. :) Awesome to see some familiar faces on Lemmy.

        How’ve things been since then? I’m sure you’ve lived a similar amount of lifetimes hah. Who knew we’d all end up getting old, just like everyone else before us? :)

          Such a small world, even on the internet! I’ve only ever seen this name and spelling this way from gaming and thought I’d ask.

          Things are great for me! In my 40s, but still feeling young. Can’t game as much because married with kid and dogs, but I do from time to time. Getting hard to be competitive without those twitch reactions. Ha!

          How about yourself?

            Ah, glad to hear it! 40s are the new 30’s or something they tell me. :)

            Same here for the most part. Almost in my mid 40’s, got married to a player named Farah/Firah (we were dating before we started playing DAoC though to be fair), sadly things didn’t work out, got divorced in my 30’s, then remarried recently in my 40’s and we’re just enjoying life. No kids, 1 dog, 2 cats sort of thing.

            I’ve been a software engineer most of my life, and now I manage/run a few teams of them at a large enterprise. Looking to get out of B2B here soon and take a stab at my lifelong dream: Making video games. Hoping to do that next year. I’ve been working with an Indie shop on my own time for the last couple years and we’ve released a couple games on Steam/Epic, so going to take a stab at doing that for realsies. ;)

            In terms of gaming, lol, yeah man. I’m losing to one kid after the other nowdays haha. I got into WoW for a bit, like everyone, but ultimately I just play casual games like Overwatch(2) and Genshin Impact (Would not recommend that one, hah, I play for family mostly). Just trying to get back into the swing of things and find that enjoyment of gaming I feel like I lost so long ago.
