This afternoon Jasper passed away. He made it to the relatively old age of 17. He was a very sweet cat, and we were lucky to have him at SDG as Chief Bug Hunter.

Team Fortress 2 is one of my favourite games, and a source of inspiration for many aspects of Unturned like community-created updates and fair free-to-play. Would love to see Valve focusing on TF2 again! #savetf2

Unturned's old (pre-3.22.16.0) item pickup sound was a kleenex being taken out of a tissue box, and the item drop sound was that same box being dropped on the desk. Probably the more of my old DIY records get replaced the better.😅

It feels uncomfortably abstract and disconnected when someone says "generating views" or "generating revenue". It is individual people not a power plant.🙄 Content attracts an audience, and earns revenue from customers.
