I really love that you can literally build anything out of random planes in Quake and it will not look entirely out of place for the game.
Sure love that my executive dysfunction stopped me from properly pre-treating my lawn last fall and now I'm suffering for it

Grump-post about people complaining about the dollar-impact of GDQ
There's a lot of hand-wringing over how GDQ isn't as efficient as directly contributing to a charity and that somehow makes it problematic. That's completely incorrect.
You can always donate to its supported charity directly if you feel so, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter: those dollars from the charity's marketing budget are still going to GDQ because they get returned 15-20 fold.
GDQ also does not skim anything from donations; 100% of the donations go to the charity. It's completely funded up front by a combination of reg fees and the charity's marketing budget.
If it wasn't GDQ, those dollars would go somewhere else for marketing; that's the point of a marketing budget. And whatever else it went to would probably not have the same ROI as GDQ.
So this thought that GDQ being involved in the pipe reduces the dollar impact is only true in-so-far as some expense is taken to make GDQ happen. However the $1 you give goes 100% to the charity and the GDQ funding comes from a budget exclusive FOR driving more donations and without it, the $3.13m we saw from AGDQ 2020 would have never happened.
What do you want here? GDQ somehow happen at its scale for free? That the attendees contribute more than the fifth of a million they did to make it happen?
Sigh.

Oh god, it's worse than last year. So much worse. I gotta nip this in the bud (literally), but it's kinda rainy and gross outside so I can't 2,4D it all to hell.
We're not even halfway through January and the winter broadleaf weeds are already popping up everywhere because of the summer drought. Help me
bird can have little a pizza

a kind soul uploaded fresh EverDrive Packs to archive.org, get 'em while they're hot~
https://archive.org/details/everdrive-packs
EverDrive Packs contain all-ish game roms for any given console, neatly organized, *plus* optional, highly curated "game collection" folders that gather, say, all games with co-op, all games based on movies, a media site's top 25 underrated games on that system, etc.
you can build the packs yourself from No-Intro romsets...
https://github.com/SmokeMonsterPacks/EverDrive-Packs-Lists-Database
but with these downloads that hard work's done 👍
Awful block was amazing but I'm just now waking up and the gdq WiFi is nearly dead for me because of the PMD demo #AGDQ2020
Truly awful block #AGDQ2020
