I still don't know what "mod" does :(

Man, Griffpatch you are just so kind! The way you talk so friendly and spend your time to help us is so heart-warming, you have grown so much and it makes me happy. A scratch youtuber with over a quarter million. It's amazing what you have done with scratch and all of the limits that you have pushed. You are a scratch prodigy and I've literally never seen a scratch youtuber smarter than you. I have been using scratch for 3 years and I consider myself a great coder but I am nowhere near your level. Thank you for providing us with amazing videos and content and I hope you live an amazing life! God loves you. :)

@Guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 11 months ago

I love your videos and projects and contributions to the community. Even though I quit scratch a year ago, I still enjoy seeing development on big projects like this. I did check out this game a few days after you published it, and it was really impressive and I even managed to find you in the lobby once!

I love following these tutorials when they come out. Great job Griffpatch!

Love your tutorials man! One of my best Scratch projects was made using your old cloud engine. Can't wait to see how the new one turns out!

One question: You pick each player's UID randomly. So, it might happen that two or more players can have the same UIDs. Then what?

The moment you realize you can comment before the video has even started.

I have now started to learn C++ and am looking to continue my game development journey elsewhere. Thanks for all the amazing learning opportunities you have provided me with over the years. I will likely still watch your videos for the cool concepts and fundamentals you provide though. Thanks for everything!
