Hey Timmy and Tommy et al, first I just wanna say I'm surprised this thread is still alive! I recently bought Smash Ultimate and I am beyond terrible at it lol but I'm having the most fun playing as Kirby and it makes me think of you, Timmy, every time.
Anyway, today I randomly searched for my old username here and found the updates in this thread:
And that will be when you decide to stop being a douche :P
smashboards.com
And I wanted to just give a public apology for any and all unsavory, mean-spirited behavior I knowingly committed back in the day, including any related to my relationship with you guys when I was hanging with Balloon. Not that I'm blaming him for my being a jerk, that was definitely all me. But if my memory is correct, hanging with him was playing a part in turning me against you guys.
I had a fairly strong sense of right from wrong, but I also had an out of control ego. And I was very bad at condemning when people would do things that I could feel were wrong. Many times the things that would be said about you behind your backs were pretty messed up, like when Balloon for example would make fun of you guys for playing a video game when you were 30 years old. I remember when he turned 30 (and he and I at this point were long since ending our friendship) I thought to myself, there he is, still playing a video game at 30... to be fair, I think he quit shortly after. Anyway, not important. I'm sorry the drama somehow continued after I quit, and all the way into 2023 — yikes :/ Despite our falling out, I've wished the best for balloon in his life, and he seems to be doing work that is in alignment with his interests, so I think he's at least happy with that, and I hope he can let all this stuff go and find peace with regard to all this history.
Tommy, I'm really impressed with the progress that you said you made being #1 on PR for years and taking top 10 at majors. That's awesome dude. I'm glad to hear your health and life are on a good track, I remember hearing about the mold situation. Timmy, I hope you're doing great in your life too.
I won't be posting any further here just wanted to give you an apology and become pono with this area of my life's history. I've wished I could delete my old account altogether due to the embarrassment I feel over it, but whatever lol.
I'll never forget you two, I love you, thank you.
