He's doing great actually! He moved back to Minot with his parents which wasn't exactly what he wanted to do, but probably is for the best. And many of his various Facebook friends have been planning trips for him to get out of South Dakota and see the world. On a recent trip, he went to Florida and wrote this big long excited overly detailed post in true Ulillillia form talking about all the new things he experienced.

He describes finally getting to swim in deep water, then going home and crying into his pillow for hours after realizing that he has basically been wasting his life in front of computer and television screens. It was sad but also really sweet.

If you want to keep up with him you have to be his Facebook friend, and he has really strict rules about cursing and adult content and stuff, lol

Does this mean Platform Masters will never get a release? :sad:

Got evicted because she has PTSD, anxiety, bipolar, panic attacks, and a bunch of other stuff supposedly and can't work real jobs anymore. As far as I know from Nick's FB updates and her constant Gofundme begging updates I get in my email, she also had to move back home a few weeks ago. She has a Patreon with no donors, an Etsy shop with no sales, and writes lovely fantasy novels to presumably no audience.

Nick's trying to improve his life, but Sisterlilia's just getting worse.

That was Fragmaster, one of his videos is "Doom House" it re-creates the feeling of being in Assad's torture prison where he was imprisoned until the forums united and kickstarted his release

Caro. He disappeared in Syria and everything pointed to him having been tortured to death in prison, but somehow he's alive. I wonder if he'll ever come back here and post again.

You really understated this. He literally was in a Syrian prison and was sorta-recently rescued by the CIA.

They or someone pretending to be them showed back up in the webcomics thread awhile ago, seeming a lot more stable. Maybe a happy ending?

Yes, this was big news a few months back. After years of no news, the last of which was "he's in a Syrian prison and not looking too hot", there was a very sudden news bit about how the government had negotiated for his release.

Pretty amazing considering the last ive heard of him was being seen begging for death in that hole.

When will he triumphantly return to SA though?

That you haven't missed yet. Will be quite something if/when (hopefully when) it happens.

I think a mod even specifically went out of their way to unban his account when the news broke.

Caro is probably the single greatest thing in SA history because of the recent developments. I'd kill for a dramatization or documentary of the whole thing. Back in the day it seemed like he would sometimes be getting help but then go off the grid for awhile and just double down on paranoia of the CIA or whatever. I think Brown Moses or somebody tried to get him help and Caro threatened to kill him. He posted videos of him shooting at randos at the desert and getting upset because dudes driving by in technicals got in the way of his sniper duel. For years people would post RIP Caro because basically everyone assumed he was dead. The fact that he survived and was rescued is like the most jawdropping thing that has ever happened as long as I've been on the forums.

Holy poo poo, no idea he also started blogging about it.

I think the main girl protagonist was called Cherry Venus.

There was a different game made by another goon that was actually pretty fun though, a Final Fantasy style thing that he'd cooked up on some version of RPGMaker called "Last Scenario". It played like a real game of its type/era rather than an ultra-laggy piece of poo poo and the story for it was a decent reversal of typical fantasy plots (the protagonist kid who is told that he is descended from the legendary hero turns out to be kind of a loser and the hero origin is just a lie cooked up as propaganda to launch an unprovoked war against an enemy nation).

There was an optional dungeon somewhere and one of the enemies you could encounter in it was a large version of the :rolleyes: emoticon that was worth a ton of XP if you killed it.

Last Scenario was pretty fun and IIRC the guy that made it drew some Demon Rush fan art in its thread.
