I've been switching between programming in Python and Quake C lately and it's starting to scramble my brain. Keep having to remind myself: tabs or spaces? do I need curly braces? etc. .

Oh no I forgot to read the end of the story, the epilogue, that Than wrote to go with the map pack. Dangit. Sorry Than. WIll have to leave myself a note to read that part next time.

I'm playing through Than's #quake1 map pack "Deathmatch Dimension" on stream over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

I've been looking forward to this one for a while, I love single player reworks of DM maps.

Oooh the Re:Mobilize Jam for #quake1 was released yesterday. Looks really good, I'm excited to play it.

Re:Mobilize Jam 1: Re:Collections

A jam held from August 1, 2023 to October 1, 2023, featuring 4 maps all making use of the Re:Mobilize mod and its signature movement-based mechanics!

Picking up my game of Shadowrun Hong Kong again today on stream at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

Been 4 or 5 months since I last played. I believe I'm in the middle of the bonus campaign (after the events of the main game).

Finishing off the #quake1 mod Re:Mobilize on stream right now over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Might load up another Q1 mod after depending on how long RM takes.

Playing the #quake1 mod Re:Mobilize on #stream tonight over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

I've been looking forward to this mod. It has new movement!

It's really funny to me (& it makes me happy) that Wallace Shawn now appears on an official Magic: The Gathering card. (Thanks to his role in The Princess Bride of course).

Now I need them to print an Andre Gregory card.

Latenight Quake. I'm playing through the 2012 #quake1 Honey mod by czg on stream over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

Might do some of Func Map Jam 1 (the Honey-themed jam) later if I have time & energy. (Edit: ended up completing FMJ1 this stream.)

Conclusion: Zerstorer and FMJ 3 are both pretty good. Zerstorer accomplished a lot for a mod made in '97 (breakables, rain, new models & sounds), and FMJ 3 was a cool throwback. I particularly liked MFX and Tronyn's maps from FMJ 3.

Next time I spin up Quake I think I'll play czg's Honey mod and Func Map Jam 1 (the Honey-themed jam)

Streaming some #quake1 again tonight, this time playing through Func Map Jam 3 (the Zerstorer-themed jam).

It's funny to me that most of the reviews I see on Discogs now are comments about this or that particular pressing. I like the half-thought-out comments about the music itself more.

I guess that means I should make an account there and start posting reviews.

I'm going to stream the old #quake1 Zerstörer mod for a few hours over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

I remember when this first came out but I've never played it.

Happy #909Day everybody

Seems like a good time to hear "My 909" by Rude 66 again

My copy still has the receipt with it, says I purchased it in November 2002.

I remember being really confused by it at the time but thinking it was super funky. Being drawn to it in spite of (or because of) how weird it was.
