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

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.
