Dust2 (and Cobble, another map mentioned) is, IMO, both art and genius; most of us will never make anything that brings joy to so many.
It inspires me to work on things that I'm passionate about just for fun. You never know what might come out of it!
It’s an incredible map - so many fun memories!
I had seen noclip's documentary about de_dust2 featuring him before but didn't piece the name together. Very happy to find that he has a blog!

He also had blogs about those maps: https://www.johnsto.co.uk/design/
I love your work! Thanks for the huuuuge work on de_dust2!

Likely the most well known map in all of video gaming, considering to how many other games it was ported
This is funny, as I always imagined these things to be made by some nameless author of good old Internet, and never bothered to check and look it up. Further less I expected to stumble upon it by said author's random blogpost where it's not even the primary topic.
