Same as last time. Still very much interested, but don't play every day. Interest isn't waning either though, it's been at a pretty consistent level for the past like 2 years now. I play when I have ideas or when there's a tournament that takes my fancy, but I'm not forcing myself to play every day like I was in 2017/2018

Currently taking a break due to burnout, when I return I'll be more relaxed w/ meeting deadlines for tournaments so I hopefully don't get as stressed.

Felt a surge of re-interest thanks to the crash patch, but also it's not me making new designs, just me updating designs, as really I don't have any new ideas rn
I shouldn't have come here

I'm still very interested in this game, even if I haven't been building as much as I've wanted to as of late. Still playing it about every day to kill time or give me something to do in voice call. My builds have been really up and down lately, though, so I'll probably end up forgetting to make something for a month or two before saying 'oh yweah bot lab exists' like the last time my build quality dropped to sh**

Lost interest in the game for a few years now but still like hearing what's going on in the community. It was the first one I joined after all.
Am interested in RR2 and will give it a go every few months.

I'm on Smashboards now and thanks to experience here I didn't **** up and made certain mistakes like arguing with experienced members. Plus I've made friends and such there.

smashboards is probably a big risk in its own right given current events...

Depends on the thread but it's been mostly tame. I've seen it all go down in real time and they understand my thoughts, as being more into speculation. GameFAQs and Reddit is like hell though.

Still I call that forum my main place now. I've moved on from RA2 but I still like checking on it even though some don't remember me.

I poke in every once in a while to see what's going on but I haven't really played in forever. I can't ever come up with anything good these days. Wish I still had all those bots I made years ago when I still had that creativity going.

I wouldn't mind getting back into it a little bit, but probably for a tournament. When actual player battles end up happening that'll probably be the start of that.

I love hosting tournaments, however now I hardly ever build unless I really have a good idea in my head. I just usually don't see a need to build new sh** when I already have bots that I'm happy with. Some different stuff like replica mayhem, teammates, and chassis swap up I had a lot of fun building for though so maybe im just burnt out on building for IRL.

After failing to finish my most recent tourney, I've been hesitant to get back into the tournament hosting game.  Especially considering that most of the tourney ideas I do have will easily overwork me.
As for RA2 itself, I only play a few times a month, but when I do get going, I can build 12 bots in a day.  However, I personally don't ever feel like showing them off as what feedback I've seen people get is usually meta focused babble.

As for GTM, I'm a frequent lurker, often unconsciously going to this site when bored.
I have several opinions.

Been playing since 2013 just building stuff I like and having fun, since 2015 I've been going in and out of interest. All the time I spend on RA2 right now is making replicas so it's easy to get tired/burnt out when I won't finish until I'm happy with a replica
