The hub structure of Quake 2 may have served to make it seem more boring.

In Quake, the end of each map gives instant closure to it, an instant sense of progression. But in Quake 2, each map is just a subdivision of a bigger area, so it's harder to know when you're reaching the actual ending of the current mission. This gives a boring sense of "are we there yet?" to the missions.

Plus, the "computer updated" crap is bloody annoying.

I prefer the hub structure of games like Turok 2. It's simpler, but each map is a self-contained mission, giving instant gratification at the end, even when you revisit the maps to get items that you couldn't reach before. The simplistic hub structure in Turok 2 also makes the missions non-linear, while in Quake 2, the missions are linear (only the objectives of each mission are non-linear).

Just so people are aware, I’m running another mapping event at the end of March. Further details shall be forthcoming. 

Has there ever been a quake map that included a sphere ? It seems like something so basic that by now somebody would've made one, but ive never seen one

An interesting discussion came up on Discord.

So there's some facebook rando who said the following words in a post:

Every single gaming subreddit or discord I've wandered into I've had to carefully tiptoe around massive minefields of reactionary rhetoric disguised as Bantz or just guys being dudes. It's almost impossible to find a gaming space that isn't dominated by shitty, skeezy dudes who make The Jokes and then haha, but really, the Fucking Jews, am I right? Not only do you have to actively look for it, you have to know what you're looking for, which a lot of disaffected young men won't! The default state of gaming is a recruiting ground for fucking Nazis.

Generally hard to disagree with that, speaking from my experience.

What's real fucking mindboggling is czg commenting on that post saying "that's the reason I left tf"???

While terrafusion and func have always been foul, ridiculous, and over the top, there has never been any actual, intentional or subliminal, implicit or explicit discrimination?

Then again, maybe I am a fucking idiot.

Discuss.
