Kristina Gray Any chance you will collab with Beef on the new Life in the Woods? Since the racing game thing didn't work out, I really miss the banter. Enjoying UHC made me realize that. I would be super excited for that hypothetical series. Any other Patrons agree?

Martin Vondracek Hi all, could you please help me remind, what game/video is the one in the ending "links" to other gameplays by Kurt? There is KSP and something like fantasy (with wings). But this part is not clickable, at least on my HTML5 browser.
