What did they do to the poor shotgun? ;-; 

Must be that weapon pack that was mentioned in the AD thread a long time ago. It has some questionable models based on Doom sprites. 

Promoting Quake, namechecking some of the latest greatest missions / mods, praising the Quake mapping scene, and recommending Quakespasm over Derpplaces??

Only skimmed through but it doesn't seem that bad?? Apart from not putting a fucking Rubicon Rumble screenshot in... 

let me add this to the cringe galore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnZmRVdnBl8 

With two recent exceptions (RPS and now this on AD), the mainstream gaming community tend to think Quake modding is basically just whatever happened in 1997 because that's the only time when mainstream game media covered the scene, so Mexx, Zerstorer etc. are the only mods they've ever heard of. Maybe Nehahra, if you're lucky.

That video you linked Kreathor, epitomises this. 

a quick ip lookup on #28839 suggests he could be our proxy troll friend 

6 posts not shown on this page because they were spam or posted from proxy/TOR exits 

really nice run down considering its from a mainstream blog that i'd agree is often pretty low-quality. 

The screenshots could be better -- it's about custom maps but 3 of the 7 screenshots show stock levels. And that doom shotgun!

But, it has the links and tells you about quakespasm, quake injector, and quaddicted so that's pretty good, plus it mentions a bunch of good stuff from the last 3-4 years like AD, RRP, and multiple map jams. 

To be honest - doom shotgun aside (wtf) - I'm actually amazed the article showed Quake with fairly normal visuals - 90% of the time they'll show some disco-lit parallax-mapped bloomfest that makes your eyes vomit - even in articles about bog-standard vanilla quake. 

I just found out that google docs does not recognise the word "crypt" - it puts a squiggly red line under it lol.

Google Docs - not Quake-ready. 

#28808 now looks super rude. 

lmao, oh the woes of spam filtration :P 

#28852, Always try to reply to a post by referencing the # of the post you're replying to, in order to reduce such awkward eventualities :} 

don't reply to spam is a good rule. Since it will be flagged eventually, your response will almost never make sense. 

It wasnt the usual spam but instead someone thinking anyone gives a shit about a free access quake 2 remake on steam greenlight. 

fair enough, i didn't see it before it was flagged. I see now that it looks like a quasi-on-topic post and you can't be sure it would be flagged.

TBH avocado is pretty tasty. 

I know this is a bit early to start planning but can we make func_ into an avocado-focused forum for April 1st this year? 

It's a plant
