Sometimes you need a break from it all.
Just wanted to update you all on the backend of what has been going on in HFG land. I'm sure by now you've noticed I haven't been as active as I once was. I think in the past I was over sharing things that I definitely couldn't, and wouldn't get done in a reasonable time, thus disappointing myself, and also you all.
Add into the mix, other creators removing support for my mods, and other creators having more time and resources than I could possibly conjure, I ended up doing too much comparing. I was never known as the guy that made the best mods, but I did teach how to do it, and broke down some of SCS's changes over the years.
And now I'll say, comparison is the thief of joy. I've purposely stopped following other creators, not because I dislike them, but because it is too distracting to my brain. I already suffer from imposter syndrome, so no need to add more sour feelings.
Last night, I went through a lot of the models I have that I made an effort into, but never went beyond the second or third step, and folded them into a zip file for another time. Other files I looked back on, and they are just not up to s***f for the current game, and they got canned. All in all, I probably relieved myself of 2GB of stuff I will never use or doesn't make sense to use.
So, with that said, I'm working on making some of my trailers that it makes sense for, to include dynamic load/unload. Also, the Marmon will be getting another update, hopefully before Christmas. For those of you that have been around since the beginning of this page (2017!!) I appreciate your support and interactions over the years. I'm not leaving, just working on a more steady pace so I don't burn out.
