I've been planning for some time, to make this post. I started thinking about it about 2 years ago, and was hoping that I would remember that it exists. Thankfully I have, so here we are.
I don't spend a lot of time lurking or posting anymore, (work, gamedev, just moving on in general) but the CSTSF was an important part of my late teens. It was really my only social outlet to the outside world. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and it was honestly a miracle that we even had internet where we lived. I didn't associate with anyone outside of family before 2011, and that's honestly crazy looking back. I've made some very interesting posts in the mid 2010s including, but not limited to, removing my mods from the forums because of a fucking anti-swear filter that was implemented for a day; and being so off the rails, that some people thought I was honest-to-God trolling most if not all the time.
But anyways, it's not any great secret that I was a big, if not pivotal part of the modding community for many years. You've all seen my NPC hacking guide; you've seen how I created, handed over, and then got banned from the modding discord, many know of the tradition of Modfest, that I started back in 2017; and I now revile to all, that I was the one behind "BlargoDX666", "Scuttlebug Jamboree", and "Cold Fever" by the user under the name "Your Undoing".
I've certainly put my work in over the years, and I'm glad to have contributed so much over the years, in fact, I think I'm *still* the user with the most amount of Doukutsu assembler hacks in existence, and it could very well stay that way forever with the shift over to CSE2 for more egregious modifications of the game now.
Ever since the beginning I was kinda a silly guy. I was trying to have fun, learning as much as I could
To say I only did positive things to the forums, would be a great misrepresentation of how things actually were. I spent a lot of my time on the internet, terrorizing threads with my incredibly misplaced comments, injection of religion, and very cringe replies (I especially used ellipses and double/triple line breaks a lot for absolutely no reason) And of course about 2016-2019 I had it out with quite a few members that I will not name. It's something I'm not proud of.
Similar to Matt, Noxid, and Gir, I'm making indie games now. You can check them out at https://teamcoral.xyz I occasionally make blog posts, and tell people that TideWalkers will eventually come out (lie) so you can see me there probably.
It's been a wild ride, these 10 years, lots has changed, and I'm sure a lot more will in the next 10. Thank you for having me CSTSF, thank you for tolerating me all these year.
I wish to give special thanks to -
Enlight - We were damn good friends back in the day. You were my first real friend. I know that in recent times, we haven't seen eye to eye on a lot, but I will never forget the times we shared on skype, steam chat, and running the modding discord together. I know I've said and done things I regret, and I'm not looking to repair what cannot be done, but I absolutely wish you the best in your life, wherever you go.
Seasons of Destiny - OORRRRRDDDEEAALLL PILLLLLAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! But seriously, thank you so much for helping make the original demo of TideWalkers, you really were a gifted modder, and your mods like shipwreck will always be among the best of CS mods.
GiR - I know I was barely anything above an idiot child extremist back then, but I always thought you were cool.
Noxid - I'm better now, I promise Not perfect, and life is about cointinual improvement, but I'm miles above 2013 me.
As well as:
You've all left a mark on my life that carved me into who I am today, and no matter how much or little you think you have done, I will cherish you being a part of my life. Thank you.
