Israel is a rogue state holding the world hostage while it commits genocide against Palestinians. Consider donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, avoiding doing business with Israeli companies and lobbying your representatives. Our shared future may well depend on it, and the Palestinians' definitely does.

ngcazz··on Quake – 30th Anniversary Update
it's fantastic! the gameplay is paced just perfectly, the puzzles are fun, and the levels are genuinely beautiful to look at. as far as i'm concerned - (with the caveat that the team had better tech and hindsight at hand of course) they built something that's more "Quake" than what id originally managed to.

I'd much rather look at a low-effort hand or MS Paint drawing, there's more humanness in that than any generative AI turd.
