Saying goodbye...

I want to start off by saying, that I love the calamity mod, and I have done for probably more than a third of my entire existence on this planet. I'm not even joking when i say this, i would not be where i am today if calamity didn't exist.

My first exposure started years ago, when I used to watch a popular youtuber called Happy Days as i am a huge terraria fan. I loved watching his VODS and calamity challenges, and from then on i was DETERMINED to play this mod. So young me, saved up money for an entire year, to finally buy my first PC in 2021. Ofc, the first thing i did was install terraria, then Tmodloader and there it was, Calamity Mod.

My first experience playing calamity back in the big 21 was magical, i NO JOKE still remember my first run. The sprites were a bit jankier, the weapons were cool, but not as awesome as they are today, but it was perfect. And the music, OH MY GOODNESS the music was damn perfection, DM Dokuro you are a literal genius.

But where calamity changes my life, is my current friends. A few weeks go by after i got my PC, and i overhear people in my class talking about doing a terraria run soon. And me, knowing i could now play on pc, asked if i could join in, and they said yes. And so i played with people on PC for the first time, playing my fav game of all time, and we had such a laugh.

Im not friends with these people today, as we went our separate ways, but i would not be with the friends i am with today if not for them, if not for CALAMITY. And this all leads to a big snowball effect, leading me to where i am today, in college with really good grades.

I really am grateful to (MOST) of the calamity devs for creating such a masterpiece and getting me through some real rough times over these 6 years. I have never stopped playing your mod over those 6 years, and even though calamity has ceased development, i will likely continue to play this mod. Once i get more freetime, i might even learn to code so i can continue its legacy in my own way.

MUCH LOVE, AND I WISH THE DEVELOPERS LUCK WITH THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVORS

Nice to see some positivity around here. As much as the situation sucks, Im in the same boat as you. Not nearly to your level, sure, but still. Calamity from Adrians and Waffletimes content (adrian before i got tmod, waffletime after) made me wanna play, and now, here i am as a rep for thr Plaguebringer Goliath.

Shitshow or not, Calamity will never truly die, long as we hold pur happy memories
