In the lower right corner of the console, running quake.exe that comes with steam, it identifies as 1.09 (and yes, those impulse commands work).
It should be noted that the .exe files included by steam (quake.exe, winquake.exe, glquake.exe, qwcl.exe glqwcl.exe) all must be started through steam as some part of steam DRM is imbedded within them... but nothing stops you from replacing those .exe files or using a modern Quake engine as all the other files required by Quake are just fine and dandy.

i can't believe they went out of their way to put drm into those old executables.
the fact that other engines are available to replace them just makes it an even bigger waste of time. :\
i guess they didn't want to set a precedent where one game was convenient to start. (it still annoys me i have to turn on steam to play civ5)
Ok

Thanks for checking. It's safe to assume the progs.dat is 1.06 then if it has impulse 12. 1.09 is the version of Glquake, though - it's always there. Shame about the DRM.
Well

like I said, I myself just copied the contents for the directory steam made when I downloaded it, and put everything into c:\quake\, like god intended, and just use quakespasm.. and if I really wanted to, I could download winquake or glquake from wherever and just replace the .exes

Yeah, I use the Steam Quake install with my Quakespasm EXE and it works fine.

"An Example to the Men" I think is my best conventional story (with a reader-enticing arc, etc), but if you're into scifi "Thought Process" (not by me) is one of the best in there. PS I feel like the title story could be taken in a purely negative, paranoid way, but there's supposed to be some humour in it too. heh.
Lol

Re-engage brain.
What I mean to say is that the guitar had 6 stings in the video, but I since butchered the crap out of it, and it now has 5 strings. But I am still playing it. I recently learned Video Games by Lana Del Ray and Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People. With a Fucked. Knackered, Piece. Of. Shit. Guitar. In the key of D minor, i.e DADGBE. Or DAGDB as the case may be. That is all.
Yeah
