Based Quake-pill-taker. Gonna springboard off your post into something I've been thinking about lately.

For me, Quake is pure and natural escapism. It is so easy for me to get lost in the id1 campaign, the mission packs, and the oodles of custom content (pic related is I think map 1 of A Roman Wilderness Of Pain). These dark halls, oppressive castles, bases on other worlds in other dimensions, exploring and killing everything in sight, but the war never really ends does it? Always another slipgate. I think it takes a certain kind of person to enjoy Quake. I was reading the readme for arwop the other day, and among those credited and thanked, Tronyn thanks
>And all ye lost souls who continue to explore Quake's dark realms...
On the face of it that's obviously just a "thank you so much for tu playing my game", but I think it's nice to know other people "get" Quake if that makes sense. People both new and seasoned seeing what else minds can conjure up within that universe. Hell, Arwop was released in 2009 mind you, and this mother fucker Tronyn is still making Quake maps today, right now, for Mjolnir. I don't really have a point here, I just think it's nice that if you get Quake, you really get it. Total digress, but it makes me wish Bloodborne was on PC since the chalice dungeons remind me a lot of Quake custom content.
