You just make me want to try it more. But honestly I'd rather wait for a remaster before playing Blood II since it feels like such an effort to get it to even run. And yes, I tried - briefly.

@mistericarus.bsky.social Here's your new quake xmas jam!

A fair point, but also misleading - the Epstein Files are not "files from a dead man", they're files about the case surrounding Epstein who was at the center of this sex trafficking. They include those living women's testaments and the court evidence during the trial among many more things.

Bondi is just a scapegoat in this situation, and Trump can easily pardon her (though given how many people he's ignored, unless she has money to buy herself a pardon it might not happen). The actions taken should be to get the full Epstein files released and not let the DoJ redact everything first.

Once upon a time, you'd read The Onion and can think "that would never happen". Nowadays, I have to pause and make sure I'm reading the Onion because its too easy to see it happening.

We'll notice because the LLMs won't receive a million dollar paycheck, giving devs MUCH more money for their work.

There's no way the most common response won't be the correct response of (cosmetic) micro transactions.

Does this mean Icarus is moving on to Quake Mod Madness? What about Quake 2 Mod Madness. I need some oldies but goldies recommendations!

Glad you enjoyed it! That is a bug due to the number of maps exceeding 8, the default number of maps that can be shown on the End of Unit splash. When a unit hits 9 maps, the 8th entry is marked as "???". There's 9 maps in total + start and end credits (both shouldn't show in the splash).

The annoyance to me is that there's an obvious distinction between mechanic and lore. Anyone thinking about the lore of a game should know this.

I have waited FAR too long for Act 3. But Act 1 will always be peak for me. I don't think I'd be able to choose a favorite between The Will of One, Vengeance (my intro to the band), The Stand, or The Sons of Fate.

Oh hey, it's the very first quake jam I joined.

If @mistericarus.bsky.social doesn't know of this mod, as a Quake 2 fan he should! Just some Quake 4 demakes shy of being the ultimate Quake crossover mod.

7 Heretic + Hexen (and all expansions)
8 Hexen 2 + Heretic 2 (and all expansions)

All with their own original campaign included, of course!

1 Quake 4 (+ Quake Wars)
2 Quake 3 (+ Revolution, Arena Arcade, and Live)
3 Return to Castle Wolfenstein (+ Cursed Sands and Enemy Territory)
4 Wolfenstein 3D (+ Spear of Destiny and Lost Episodes)
5 Doom 3 (+ E3 demo and Resurrection)
6 iD RPGs (Doom 1 + 2 RPG, Wolfenstein RPG, Orcs & Elves 1 + 2)

That looks like it's in place for those who mess up so they can catch up faster.

What this comic tells me is that Grace has told Sarah she's damn nice.

The nemesis system 100%.

Or how about the nemesis system making use of Eternal's empowered demons system when internet is required.

Enemy kill players -> enemy gets empowered for others -> player kills empowered enemy -> chance of empowered enemy returning with a vengeance

My personal favorite Quake 1 TCs would be Slave Zero X: Episode Enyo (also accessible in remaster), and the oldie Malice for Quake (even better with the mod Malice Refined).
