Burned out
It just happened. It started as a short break to work on my own game just to try whether I can do it in C99. It turned to be a deep thinking and a programming flow I could just not break without the danger of loosing the string. Programmer's enemy is distraction thus I wiped off every pinging messaging thing from my screen, mainly not because this is my protocol (should be) but also because I knew things do pile up in the background. Part of me cared and I really would like to get them sorted but soon I realized I am doing this intensively for 6 years in a hope that with some refactoring it will eat less of my time. That never happened, mainly because of my poor management. I mean, I should have not start another thing until the previous has been made to require no maintenance. But I wanted to give more to you.

However, I have a family here with 3 sons which limits my development time frame. And during the HammerBowl project I had to realize that this frame got full with FUMBBL, almost entirely. I worked 2-3 hours every day for FUMBBL. I dad no time to play games. With HammerBowl, I saw no interest and it was depressing. I volunteered to collect the dev tasks for BB2020, which was a huge mistake as I thought 1-2 days will be enough for that. On top of that, BB2020 kills the perpetual football which was the reason I originally joined. Anyway, soon I did not see the end of it.

Why am I doing this?

I don't know what to say, I just want to get out.

Sorry everybody.

Avoid every kind of work that requires endless maintenance, except that is family, food, shelter, and hygiene related.

Exactly what Datom said - nothing to apologise for - you’ve given loads to the site, thank you.
Look after yourself.
Posted by koadah on 2021-01-03 17:51:54
Take a break. Have a rest. Do what is important.

This is, after all, "only a game".
Posted by Rbthma on 2021-01-03 18:20:01
Take care of yourself Adam! Like yourself I've been a bit burned out, but I did have HammerBowl on the short list of leagues I'd commit to if I wasn't - I really like what you've done with those rosters ^-^

Hopefully you can return to actually play some BB.
Posted by awambawamb on 2021-01-04 01:20:15
I always wondered who was the mind behind all those things I saw around here. I can relate so much to every word you wrote because I think that BB2020 will be the final nail in the coffin for me, as well. take care, sir

Take care dude. Family's the most important thing. I heard there is a spoot going on the Forth Bridge painting crew if you want a relaxing job ;0

Adam you have nothing to be sorry for. you are loved and respected here, and the work you do is and always will be appreciated.

I hope we see you back, and I hope you see you happy.

But it sounds like your priorities are good, and your mindset right, do you, and if that means we never see you again, then I shall just always hope you found happy.
Posted by Calthor on 2021-01-06 10:53:57
Focus on what is important. Come back when and how it feels right.

All the best, always.
Posted by Verminardo on 2021-01-08 14:22:19
I can fully relate to this, man. Thanks for everything you've done, you are amazing. I can understand why you say you are sorry, of course you are, I am, too, we all are. It is not your fault but you will certainly be missed, and also it's a shame that it has come to a point where your mental health is compromised. I really feel sorry for that, being one of the doubtlessly many who used to pester you with questions from time to time.

Good luck, speedy recovery, and hope to be seeing you!
