Kudos and a big thank you to whoever is keeping / has kept 64Digits online over the years. This is truly incredible.
To my 64D and GMC pals from back in the day - thanks for the fond memories and for your kindness.To those who thought I was a pain in the ass - lol, fair enough. I was a pretty self absorbed, arrogant 14-or-so year old. Or, ‘annoying pissant’ as someone else described themselves a few posts below this.My last big GameMaker thing was the Steam release of Caveman Craig. But that was 10 years ago. My brother and I still chat about ideas for new games, hopefully one day we will commit. But life, y’know?I still occasionally have dreams where I’m back in my childhood home, and I go downstairs to find my old PC still humming away, and I hop on and sign into MSN where most of you are still online, doing your thing. Rediscovering this site tonight was about as close to that dream coming true as I can imagine.If anyone remembers me and wants to reach out, my email is rhys.autumnhouse@gmail.comOne more thing - to the admin(s), what are the odds of recovering files once hosted by 64d but not appearing in my file manager?

I suppose enough of us have fond memories of the era where we'd use this website that it's worth keeping the lights on in an empty home. Maybe that's a sort of "requiem" on its own. And certainly, it's helpful for dredging up old creations and embarrassing old posts!If you are who I think you are, my random memory of you is that you used the XD emoticon a lot and it took me a while to understand what it was. I think of you whenever I use it now. That neural pathway isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Also, you were once working on a puzzle platformer where the main mechanic involved changing between past, present, and future. What you showed me was so cool and I was bummed you never finished it.I had a lot of respect for you! Hope you're doing well mate.I was just thinking about C A V E M A N C R A I G a few days ago
No sweat about being a pain-in-the-ass teen. We all were back in the day, and I might have been the worst of all. Just kidding, it was sk8I would hit you up via email, but I already have you on Facebook. That retro setup of yours is looking killer man! We really didn't know how good we had it, did we
