    At first, I was kind of salty when I saw this. I spent over 5 years on Scratch trying to get popular as a kid, but I never got popular. I put a lot of time and effort into my projects, but I never saw any returns. But, your origin story was honestly kind of inspiring, and it made me realize I was making games for the wrong reasons. I was trying to get popular, instead of trying to make good games. I don't intend on going back to Scratch, but I do feel like looking at my new games with a different perspective.

    I love Scratch's block system, actually. I much prefer it to text-based code that breaks easily with syntax errors off of the slightest typo you can't find, and having to remember every little prompt and setup for every little thing. It especially helps me as someone with memory problems who only codes for fun on some occasions.

    I don't know why I never thought that the creator of crystal seeker was a real human.... and to now know you made more fully fledged games, it's crazy man! I switched away from scratch a few years ago now and I never really got fully into other game engines. I felt like the barrier to entry was just too high. I also miss programming some of the fundamentals like physics and 3d renderers. Seeing how you use this platform as an honest large-scale creative tool is inspiring and maybe I'll come back at some point.

    My 3 favourite scratchers have always been you, griffpatch, and pinpoint. I have seen other scratchers create great projects, but these 3 scratchers really pushed scratch beyond its limits. I think I've narrowed my favourite scratcher down to you. I feel like I am im the middle of your journey. At first my mom got me into coding classes. Then when I understood enough, I made projects that I actually felt were good at the time, but are clearly a spec of dust compared to yours. I quit around a year ago, only making projects for school. I have had no interest in scratch at all until I saw this video. You deserve every sub is youtube for your determination, and 1000+ IQ.

    It is so sad that scratch is very slow because making 3d games can be less rewarding. Turbowarp is cool but the process of making a game can be very laggy. I am helping making a game called FrostX a fps and a scratch game usually runs on 30 fps but our fps runs 20 on scratch which is very annoying you also have to stop the whole game from running before you add more blocks to your code since it is THAT laggy.
