Topic: THE ZAP is officailly no more

[King of Twitch]

Dear friends and frenemies

I, Zap, have recently become more aware (don't worry, not like Skynet; more like Lt. Data, but not the evil side of Lt. Data when Lore gets ahold of him and he goes berzerk--bezerk--**** I give up ever trying to spell that word right, anyways just the good and kindly android-man that strives to become more human, even if it means living to 1,000 years old and all your friends die off). For years, I have pursued a persona that is unlike any other known to man: partially the straight shooting Zap Rowsdower, part cranky Pac-Man, and maybe some Michael Scott thrown in for good measure with a penchant for poorly conceived posts, artwork, and music. Now I know that the true meaning of friendship is being true to yourself and so I will go back to being myself again. I'll just be . . . me.


Just to be clear, I have buried the old persona in a field where cicadas sing from the grass and wildflowers overlook a hilly mountainside that turns a beautiful orange and purple during summer evenings. It's beautiful to look on the gravestone now and wonder what might have been. I will never think of the past with anything other than a warm smile and bask in the sinking sun of an era that will never return. Yet I will always be thankful for the memories and how each one has helped me grow ever closer to humanity as a result.

what? I'm sorry, I did the best I could with him.

Your avatar is so mesmerizing.


On topic: This can only be a good thing. Lots of users were saying rude stuff about you, and that made me sad. You're a great poster, Zap. Then again, I sometimes think I'm playing Yahtzee instead of posting on a message board, so I'm no one to judge.

[King of Twitch]

Sorry to hear that. I know I will do better from now on.

Guess that means someone should change my MVP status.

[Phil]

Naw, you the real MVP, as the kids say.

[King of Twitch]

Nope. No point in the title if it's not consensual.

[Mop it up]

I can't say I've noticed a difference...!

Gimme some slack, jack. It takes awhile to start making good posts when you've been putting out nothing but trash for over a decade.
