I don't think I can recall mini text being a problem on the forums within the last decade edit: lol I had just done a find and replace from "img" to "timg" without noticing every url was now "timgur.com"

Hey, I bought that PC Gamer issue. Or, well… I guess I really bought that Quake demo CD and accidentally got an issue of PC Gamer with it.

Shame that Quake won't be a visually impressive as Bethesda's forthcoming Terminator game.

Volte posted:There's only one reliable strategy for killing Shamblers in general, and that's to bait their melee attack over and over. If you can get the timing down for that, they aren't especially challenging individually. That works but it's kind of "advanced mode", and I pretty much never do that repeatedly in a shambler fight. 99% of the time the map will give you a piece of cover like a pillar, or a hall corner to run back and duck behind. Just break line of sight when the big guy starts charging up.

Just break line of sight when the big guy starts charging up. The hobbled backward running speed in the new official port REALLY fucks with my default strategy for baiting shamblers into their melee attack, so I hope that’s fixed soon. Also don’t be afraid to use other monsters as cover - even if you take damage from the shambler thunderbolt, they’ll have made a new un-friend to distract them while you regroup.

That Doom vs. Quake bit is pretty disingenuous at spots. "Uniform lighting", they say, highlighting a screenshot of a door clearly lit up brighter than the room surrounding it.

What's a good/fun setup for the made to order difficulty in blood? I just cleared the first episode on lightly broiled, and those cultists are pretty brutal. For reference, I'm fine with the reaction time of enemies on the Maximum Fury difficulty in Ion Fury; I liked how I could mostly avoid a fair amount of damage if a kept moving but sitting still for any length of time would get you kliled.

The important bit is just turning cultist aggression and accuracy to low or very low, then you can adjust the enemy count or hp to compensate as you see fit

Anyone else notice a verbal tick that John Carmack has in that interview? He tends to end his sentences/thoughts with 'mmm'. I've heard him speak before, but never noticed that.

What blows my mind is that Carmack did all that poo poo back in 96, meanwhile Blizzard took 2 years after release to get spectator options for a game they planned to make an esport.

Around the early 2000s he started going to speech therapy for it. I noticed that last year in his Q&As for VR stuff, its starting to show back up again. At some point he got really into BJJ and was looking pretty buff too. SPACE HOMOS fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Aug 26, 2021 |

Didn;t know how short he was until he made a dumb tweet about Starlink or Space X or some stupid bullshit and he was standing with Musk.

Also, I'm watching the 2017 Quake post-mortem with Romero, and what stuck out to me is he mentions, at one point, "I don't remember why we did <such and such>...", and I'm thinking holy poo poo, how does he not remember something? John, I hope you're well. Edit: this is sarcasm, btw. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Aug 27, 2021 |

Convex posted:he's 53 and was rich and famous in the 90's I was mostly kidding, since he has hyperthymesia, which has led to an insanely good memory. This is evident every time he gently and politely slams someone else, like Tim Willetts, for either misremembering or making poo poo up, and corrects them in detail.

I was gonna say that I just finished Total Overdose and it was quite fun, but then I remembered that the Max Payne fans are now coming for you. You might be able to save yourself if you distract them by asking if Max Payne 3 is good or not?

Still working my way through the Quake remaster, made it to the extended E2M6 today. It's cool to see a new area that was supposed to be part of the level, but on the other hand the fact that the entire area has the same cave wall texture makes it feel kind of unfinished.
