eh not really much background, I just saw the q3 announcer xitter account and of course after moving from id sofware is an grifter ai bro trying to say old games were good because there wasn't "wokism", a shame because his voice is quite one of the best announcers of an arena shooter, guess gotta mod quake champions one instead
As the queer furry of the arena shooter group, I just tell them to do their worst. I was around when furry hate was at it's peak, I've already been through the wringer lol
I've though about making my own arena shooter with blackjack and queer furries but seeing the little success of Reflex Arena and Diabotical kinda is too ambitious fot my own good
Team Fortress 2 comes close to that if you can ignore cosmetics. The gameplay still holds up today and its also fun to just join the Jump Academy and do some rocket jumping.

Naah. Unreal Tournament > Quake 3.
Let's warm up the really old fan disputes.

The reasonable person in me: why not both?
The other side of me: UNREAL TOURNAMENT ONLY IN THIS HOUSEHOLD

You liked the wringer, though. That's what I heard
Jimbo@pawb.social · 4 pts · 29d
Oooh kinky
I do think I would prefer to be crushed in other ways however~

Ultrakill is easy to be a fan of

No arena based multiplayer :c

Float@startrek.website · 7 pts · 29d
thankfully there are mods to disable cosmetics for those that don't want to see them.
I really appreciate how much customization TF2 still allows. HUDs, configs, insane graphics tweaks, borderline cheating with legal console commands.
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 26d
I like how the borderline cheating console commands arent an issue at all because of how bad the bot crisis was
kyoko916@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 29d
I get ya but this meme template is about TF2 if Ii recall so It's gonna be pretty much the same.
Anuway TF2 has some Quake on it but it's quite different of thearena shooter style I'm used to.

EDIT: replied to the wrong comment, updating this comment to be relevant
Agreed with you, I love tf2 but it doesn't quite scratch the same itch.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 14d
PSA: check out https://tf2classified.com/, it sticks to the original aesthetic and vibe of the gameplay.
Tiger_Man_@szmer.info · 5 pts · 29d
and the devs are literally the left one

As if Carmack and Romero weren't problematic enough themselves.
kyoko916@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 29d
Saw Carmack being like "nfts are the future trist me bro" and his sorta narcissist personality but don't know if Romero is also dudd shitty stuff.
Anyway I'm a bit more fond of post Romero/Carrack Id Software (Q3/Live, QChampions, Doom Reboot) and enjoy more the stuff the community been doing
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de · 4 pts · 28d
at least they released the sources back then
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 14d
not to mention significant chunks of the game just being completely free and redistributable
ElectroLisa@piefed.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 29d
What did Romero do wrong? Is it something recent?

The world will heal if a new Tribes game releases.
yakko@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 29d
That's the one. That's the game I need to be emulating right now
Jankatarch@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 29d
There is a sweet spot between pre-gamergate and post-lead-gasoline eras.

Being a fan of Xonotic on the otherhand is easy!
kyoko916@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 30d
quake community overall seems to be chill is just that some ex Id folks can be a bit of dickheads (carmack for example)

Not a shooter but Sonic
