Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

God that makes me feel old. Yeah, Garry's Mod is literally named that because it's his mod. He started making it as a teen, released it for free for a long time, and then leveraged it into a job and company (FacePunch, they also made Rust a lot later).
I think Garry's Mod 10 was the first paid release, and he and his team have just been updating the paid version since.
The game's official site used to just be his blog, and I believe he still posts semi-regularly about game development, running a company, and life stuff. Always seemed to be a real stand up guy.
I miss the FacePunch forums.
Meh, a lot of admin power tripping there
All I know about Gmod is from the HL days when it was just about gibbing characters. I'm amazed it's still around.
What is it these days?
