You may or may not know that I came back to this game as a result of having a massive heart attack which lead to extended bed rest from a quadruple bypass last July. The meds I have been forced to take are designed to keep my heart rate down and help me heal but they leave me quite lethargic physically and mentally. I know I am a better pilot than my results are showing and I have tried to just force my way up the ladder by totally immersing myself in it but I realize I am not consistent and the added frustration of slow reaction time is maddening.

Anyway to shorten this, I had a dr appointment yesterday and the doctor says that the constant adrenaline rush that Descent (video games) brings is not good for my heart right now so I need to take some time off from competition and try to basically chill until I'm done with these meds. This was a hard decision to make and I will be back but right now my health is more important.

Very hard decision to make, but it's the CORRECT one. Your health comes first, so take care of yourself!

PS: Photoshopping comics shouldn't take anything out of you, we expect more of those.
PPS: When's the photoshopped comics showing up in an archive somewhere?

Oh man! That's rough! Take care of yourself. We'll be here when you get back.

I didn't know about this Swarthy, rest well and take it easy. Health comes first and Descent also comes first, but somehow after health

One thing you can do in the interim, is collect some demos from different pilots and watch them. Focus on identifying one particular thing, and then trying to figure out how and why they're doing it.

I'm sorry to hear that, Swarthy, I had no idea. Take care of yourself!

Take care of yourself, man. Guess it's observation mode for you I'm sure watching one of my matches will be very calming and 99% chance of putting you to sleep!

swarthy i miss you already bud. take care, dont be a stranger

take care of yourself....we'll keep the lights on for ya

Take it easy, bud. You will still have a rival when you get back

Good decision.

I will miss you dearly though.

DEARLY.

Obsessively missing you right now.

I can't stop...

You're always on my mind.
