People going on hiatus is a natural and normal part of Simutrans life. But people tend to just disappear without trace, which can be demoralizing to our generous contributors.
So this is a thread where people can check in and out.
I am checking out!

I like to have connections between my input (reading books, listening to podcasts, watching TV/films/videos) and my output (playing and modding games).
For Christmas and my recent birthday I got half a dozen thick books on ancient history, 20th century East Asia, Christian epistemology, and other topics that are unrelated to Simutrans. So I am unlikely to be following this forum closely much in the near future. But no doubt I will return at some point.
Thank you to all the devs and other contributors who make Simutrans so much fun!
