To whoever reads this:

Today, I have decided to leave. I no longer want to continue, I have no intention, inspiration or motivation. I chose this time because some of my favorite addons were redone, and the main reason, the download numbers are quite low. It seems that the public for textures is small, or what I do is not very interesting, that does not matter. And it isn't because the community is too small, weapon or vehicle addons have dozens of downloads in a few days, even that "Weapon Unlocks Mod" has more downloads than anything, in downloads per days and total. So, this is the best time to retire as I have wanted for many months.

All were very nice to me, even if what I was doing was crap. I never felt unwelcome. But well, everything that born gets weak and dies, as well as my desire for this. Light a match and it will start a fire with great violence, no matter how much it burns at some point it will lose its strength and die.

This user specifically, was once managed by several people. Maybe someone remembers that before has another name. We were friends of different nationalities, and well in the end the intention was not achieved and I was left alone managing the user (many months ago). So, the fate of this user was doomed, in the beginning. I just tried to stretch that lifetime.

When I was 8 years old, more than a decade ago, I tried to modify the textures for the weapons and arms of Counter Strike 1.6, it was obviously a horrible job but the interest was there. then over time, I tried again even with other games. In 2017-18, I get more interested in the issue of textures in Battlefield. I didn't even know about the existence of the .dds, or anything. Over time I just tried to find knowledge in a autodidact way. I was also inspired by names that were marked in gaming history, modder names that his work is an unsurpassed classic.

Conclusion, I am happy with what I achieved. Although it is undeniable that I have nothing else to do here. Maybe it's the wrong game, wrong time, or insufficient skill, I don't care. Time passed and I already have to face more problems that will require a lot of time and strength. My family is in a difficult time, and I am close to being able to get a job, so right now I got pressure on my back. Besides, I am not far from being a chemist, as I have wanted for a very long time. I prefer to concentrate on my studies.

I especially thank the people who were with me. Those 3 or 4 users that I really appreciate and were more than a year on my side. (I won't mention beacuse I don't want people mad at "forgot about me.")

Farewells, dear reader.
