    Hope you guys enjoy. I honestly think that I could’ve done better, but I wanted to move onto new projects. If you guys have any really good GD documentary ideas, I’d love to hear them in the comments !!
    Addendum: I was aware of the limbo easter egg, but literally couldn't open the level to record it so I just left it out. Also, congrats on Jif for fluking LIMBO from 66% which is huge.

    call me dumb, say that i live under a rock. but until now, i didnt even know about michiguns passing. i knew that he stopped playing, but i thought that it was just that. its quite shocking to me, because back then when i started playing, the tripple spike michigun meme was very popular, and many people including me used this joke in their levels. that was 2017 ? idk. anyways, rest in peace michigun, we will never forget you.
    edit: i wasnt really active in the community in 2020-2021, so maybe thats why i didnt know this already.

Your history vids are just so enjoyable to watch and i never in a million years 9 years ago would find myself not pausing once in a 31 and a half min vid about a level in a 3$ platformer. This game has absolutely changed me, for better or worse is still left to be decided, but damn. Its vids like this that really bring just a tad bit more hope to the community.
