this isn't dead (much unlike my internet)

Seems like Murphy's Law has taken effect with vengeance, but I'm not really discouraged from continuing. I got rootkitted (at FPSB, of all places) and lost some minor stuff, but most of it's alright (the only Schism-related losses were chatlogs of my brainstorming sessions with Snaf, but most of the concrete ideas have since been taken further anyway). My net is up and down constantly and I've yet to reinstall 3DS, but in the meantime I'll see about getting some more concepts drawn up. The fact that a friend got me Stalker for Christmas hasn't really been helping, but I'm temporarily stuck and close to the end of the game, as far as I can tell.
