I'm finally back. I'm getting a new PC, but my old one is working again. Not sure how much longer it will last (screen won't physically close, touchpad doesn't work, had to free up some memory, etc), but I'm here. I'll post again.
If you need me, please feel free to PM me or something. Even if my PC has trouble again, I can always access this site on my phone. It's just hard to reply there with a long message.
Going to give this a check. Not sure if it's still going. I'm game to continue it if anyone is left, although if we continue, a time skip may be in order.
