Yup, I spoke too soon - turns out there is even more stressful thing, in the form of some student with a vague double citizenship... which makes him both a citizen of the EU, and not a citizen of the EU. So now we don't know if he needs a visa or not. As one of my professors (the guy from Alaska) used to say - "Why do I always get the weird ones?"

I suppose the Quad Rampages were some sort of fan service... or viewer service. When YouTubers become popular, they sometimes start falling in the traps of their own popularity, focusing more on what the viewers will (supposedly) enjoy more. I have found many of his older videos more enjoyable - perhaps being less popular at the time meant he could pursue his passions and do what he enjoys, rather than think about satisfying other people's expectations. I surely hope you won't change much if you become immensely popular some day!

Indeed, moving here was a huge event for me - I've been pursuing this goal, one way or another, since late 2008, though there were a multitude of complications and other nasty things that delayed it by 7 years. At first I was supposed to move to my late great-grandma's apartment, which wasn't bad at all (it even had a dedicated storage/pantry room, which is a rare feature), but still needed some refreshing. It also had one fundamental flaw - it was in a concrete panel building (something cheap invented in the Soviet Union and then copied by its ally states), which are infamous for their extremely poor insulation, meaning they are unbearably hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Selling that place and trying to find a new and better one for a reasonable price was a pretty risky move... but it ultimately paid off handsomely. I was so happy when it was complete that I couldn't decide when to "officially" move in - then the date September 22 grabbed my attention due to the whole symbolism surrounding Independence Day, so I decided "This is it." The rest, as they say, is history...

Ooooooh, then we'll definitely have to test these server improvements when an opportunity presents itself. If only I knew when this could be... I suppose automatic resource restting would be easier than having to kill ourselves every time we started a new map :P

A server can sometimes be like a living organism - growing and evolving, always getting better. We've come a long way from those times when we were confused and looking for a missing zombie kill in E1M3.
