May 25, 20196 yr Aarik did a great job as community manager, and he'll certainly be missed. If anyone wants to thank Aarik and wish him well in his travels, there's also a farewell thread on twitter:

May 29, 20196 yr Late best wishes and good luck! I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

May 30, 20196 yr I google Ska songs about saying goodbye but they mostly seemed negative so.. yeah. Fallback clip. Free games updated 3/4/21
June 27, 20196 yr What's chance 6? Based on their logo I'm guessing it's a new fruit drink company. Yah for fruit drinks! Take a chance and have a fruit drink, or better yet, have 6 of them! "Now to find a home for my other staff."My Project Eternity Interview with Adam Brennecke
June 27, 20196 yr Author It's kind of a game development studio. Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
June 27, 20196 yr I like the fruit drink idea more. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
June 27, 20196 yr Split the difference, maybe they're working on a game about juicing watermelons. They already have one indie horror game on Steam. Looks pretty decent. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Hope you pick up your old handle. @Aarik D is kinda like Gromnir kryptonite. oh sure, we may have made a crack or two 'bout ska, (am not made o' stone dammit,) but aarik is just so adorably positive that any attempt to give him a hard time woulda' been analogous to kicking a puppy. as such am unable to interact with aarik normal. am glad aarik is back. we will wait. we will be patient. eventually aarik will slip up and mock the special olympics or suggest ketchup is a perfect acceptable condiment for hot dogs. have been here for decades. we can wait for our moment. mostly kidding. mostly. wb.

HA! Good Fun! I believe that what Gromie means, in all of the text cited, is what a gift it is to welcome @Aarik D back ...
