For some this is a dream come true, for others it's a nightmare. 

That's ... actually pretty cool. 

Could you combine that with the mod that made all the other enemies Spawn? 

You turn into a crate though? 

Wow, that's cool. But why does tarbaby have an icon of a quake guy? 

But why does tarbaby have an icon of a quake guy?

Because that's how he wants to express himself, and who are we to judge? 

he is a tarbaby that sexually identifies as a human

watched the video, this mod looks awesome. imagine deathmatch in it! 

Monsters vs Rangers would have been a good game mode.

Imagine different classes, nail ranger, rocket ranger etc etc.
Vs different monsters.

I imagine it would be like TFC a little bit. 

the other cis tarbabykin ostracized him ... now he's going to give them a safe space

IN HELL 

Lunaran, you have my axe. I remember, back in the whirlwind of the years, hearing that you were a bit moody, but I would call that more just like "awesome" and "sincere." Long live sarcasm, especially as a defense against the PC-warriors. A tarbaby seems like a great symbol for this generational conflict: we are able to imagine all kinds of shit but we don't make a huge deal out of it. THEY on the other hand, troll for sympathy and extra rights, imagining that they are the centre of the universe. 

Stop triggering me! 

Tronyn - The drunk thread is over there. *points* 

Thanks Willem, I'm recovered by now. Still think millennial slacktivists are hypersensitive poser idiots, but less inclined to express that now (err wait...). Now go map! 

You just sit around for eons waiting to be telefragged by a lone space marine ;) 

Tronyn, you sober? Congrats! 

generic - Nice! What it lacks in gameplay it makes up for in ... ambiance. 

 

Anyone who have played Zerst�rer recently - or have a good memory?

I'm replaying Quake and some of my favorite SP maps after a hiatus of several years. One of those favorites being Zerst�rer, but I'm stuck in the Among the Dead map, specifically the part when you face your first Nemesant in small, locked room. I just don't stand a chance against it - and I have no room to manoeuvre in either. Am I missing some kind of trick you should use to beat it?

Can't recall this issue from previous play throughs - but perhaps I just suck at playing Quake now. 

With the little basin thing at one end and the altar in the middle?

There's no real tactics against the Nemesant's as I remember, just throw all the ammo you have at them.

The bouncing lavabomb attack is goofy but does a lot of damage but the real danger is the forcewall attack.

Thats the one that sucks you into the middle and then explodes. The best way to deal with it is sprint forwards, even if that sounds counter intuitive since it gets you close to the Nemesant. Which means DBS is your friend (cos I think by that point you don't have TB).

If its the fight I'm thinking of then I suspect I just godded it back in the day after the Nth reload.

If you don't have a decent health and armour surplus then you probably can't complete it.

Its got cool sounds and ideas behind it, but the implementation isn't the best. 

...essentially Speedy wearing nose glasses. 

It's a pretty unfair monster to fight. 

OK, thanks. Yes, it's a minimal room with an altar. I'd need more nails and health. Might reload from an earlier save. Otherwise, godmode. 

OK, so I managed the fight just by circle strafing like crazy. Turned out the Nemesant was rather squishy. But it also turned out that my char died a couple of seconds later after a fall, so very annoying end to that level IMO.
