  1. The thing about flying enemies is it's an awful long way to the ground when it comes time to die.

    Gotta stock up in town and get ready for the next farming mission~

  2. CW: horrifying image of cat stroggification process

  3. About a half-hour out from midnight Eastern time you'll find me at the Quaketown Bar. If this is your first time logging in (104.15.247.5:27910), the main portal plaza has stairs that lead down to this area. There's a jukebox, dance floor, drinks at the bar, and a slot machine

    Keep in mind that:

    - This doesn't work with the Quake 2 Remaster; you have to use the original client, a source port like Yamagi, or Quake 2 RTX (which has a non-RTX mode with +set vid_rtx 0)

    - You're given an account login code that if you want to keep your stats, you gotta write down.

  4. Quake 2 (v.3.20 GOG/Steam/retail) - weekendowy deathmatch dla kogoś? ;) #Quake2 #gaming #giereczkowo

  5. Ah, the "Binary Formats Gallery"—because what the world really needed was a #museum for file formats, complete with GraphViz diagrams and hex dump visualizers! 🤓🖥️ I mean, who doesn't want to spend their Sunday afternoon compiling Kaitai Struct libraries just to admire the metadata of a Quake 2 model? 🌟🔍

  6. #Summary for September 2025 no-pe.netlify.app/2025-09-summ

    #MetroidPrime3Corruption is easily one of the top three #MetroidPrimeTrilogy games. You can quote me on that! Literally: quote posts are now available on Mastodon.
    #KotonobaDrive is a #YokohamaKaidashiKikou 2 of sorts.
    #Eternium is another good “podcast game”.
    #NuclearBlaze is a fire cleaning simulator.
    – I also played some more #QuakeII.

  7. For no reason (not true), I accidentally (a lie) started playing the PSX version of #QuakeII, which was ported to the re-release version: nexusmods.com/quake2/mods/50

    I had played it before on an emulator. I guess I’m in the mood for something familiar – it’s very close to the original #Quake2 campaign — but not too familiar and comfortable. Yes, that violent and somewhat problematic game is comfortable to me. A lot.

    I’ve written about Q2 quite a bit, I’m not going to bother with more.

  8. Haha, just found a video clip from 2001: ACME33 Lan, from the good old Quake 2 days. Good fun to see. Long time since I saw so many fat monitors. I can still remember the smell in the room. 😆

  9. Co nie zmienia faktu, że najfajniejszy remaster/remake/re-whatever, którego w sumie się nie spodziewałem to ten związany z #Quake2.
    God, I love that game! <3 😈

  10. Huh, I didn't know if you managed to trick the baddies in #Quake2 into shooting each other they'd actually aggro eachother and fight to the death. Neat!

  11. Experience the weirdness of AI Quake II. It's like playing a dream of a game. I love all the weird, surreal artifacts. Enemies phase in and out of existence. You move your mouse and suddenly appear in a different part of the map. And the controls are terrible. But! I also marvel at how coherent the spaces are. A while back, I read about Google recreating Doom as a playable internal demo, that they never released. I gotta give props to Microsoft for making this demo available. It's fascinating stuff.

  12. I love urban maps in classic shooters, because the zeitgeist really shines through in billboards and other signage.

    I've grown a lot since then, and I have come to the galaxy-brained opinion that the BFG is a weapon of skill.

    Loki's Minions CTF still has a web site up, surprisingly enough, and I adore its late '90s web design.

  13. Loved the segment by @UnarmedOracle in this week’s CheckPoint about Microsoft WHAMM! and their Quake 2 simulacrum.

    Especially loved the finishing remarks:
    “I love being in a coalition! It’s good to see a vigorous defense of those things. It’s miserable to need one.”

  14. A while back I introduced a friend of mine to #quake2 QPong. Some valuable life lessons were learned that gaming session. #gaming

  15. I reached a wall that seems impossible to jump over, so I was banging my head on it hoping I will break trough.

    So I took a break, about a week, played Quake 2 to take my mind off my project.

    After a week I came back, solved the issue and did even more than I planned.

    Feels good man.
