I like Quake II's technical advances, but the Strogg aesthetic is honestly just kinda boring and uninspired. Maybe it didn't get done justice until Quake 4.

finished Quake II. pretty okay imo but not a whole lot of variation in the textures throughout most of the game... and switching weapons sucks ass

Show thread

finished Quake: Dissolution of Eternity. odd aesthetic choices, but very cool level design with lots of surprise traps

Remake Cloud is fucking adorable, bless you Nomura for preserving this awkward egg

Hey. You don't have to be drowning in despair all the time. If you're seeing bad stuff on the timeline or on news sites and it is stressing you out, you can just walk away. Nobody has any right to tell you off for staying away when you need to.

Take care of yourselves.

@radicalrobit old bnet also dropped you in a public channel on startup, but even back then they had responsive moderation and there were limits to how much you could send. modern blizzard is incompetent

@shaderphantom this is actually how some of the very first hardware-accelerated graphics computers, like the pixelplane, worked

it's a damn shame this industry has moved away from this sort of thing because it's impressively powerful for how simple it is

@LexYeen@snouts.online I read this completely differently tbh, because furries really do got to clean fucking house shouting at each other for culture purity shit too. Not that fascists don't need to be dumpstered, but furries are really bad about turning "justice" into clout harvesting cringe culture-esque garbage where they end up allying with fascists anyway.

I don't know who this person is. But they aren't wrong, by far.

@LexYeen@snouts.online @cozykaffe@snouts.online wait, are people mad that they implicitly said call-out posts suck?
