if you can find it, immediately drop whatever it is you're doing and go play this (windows only (for now?)). the game OOZES passion. such a fantastic love letter to metroid prime that's genuinely enjoyable on its own merits. also the movement tech is fun as hell

the two last things i worked on were released/announced today. the 30th quake update with dawn of the machine, and the evercade doom port. the quake update also includes an id vault with a lot of in development quake material, almost all of it seen for the first time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Uf4...

store.steampowered.com/app/465780/N... this is *almost* what you described, BUT it's basically an emulator frontend so you have to manually set up the cabinets with your own ROMs & art, which means you can't play those games multiplayer. there are other things to do in MP tho like video streaming

yeah it's a big undertaking but still, i support such an effort. AI garbage aside, there have been a variety of changes to TB in the past few years that have felt very "out of touch" for the q1 mapping experience, so i hope a fork can also get it back on track in that regard

William // stickflip @stickflip.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
sucks to see such an amazing and useful program go down such an incredibly scummy route. hope people can do what the folks over at UZDoom did to GZDoom and effectively wipe out Trenchbroom's relevancy with a fork that doesn't permit any AI bullshit. I wish that wasn't necessary, but here we are ig 😐

lol both TNG and DS9 are good options, but pretty different from each other. TNG does start off rough; people recommend just starting at season 3. DS9 is great from the start but having that extra context you get from TNG does help a bit imo. it's also way more serialized and not episodic like TNG

this is like the third time a studio has pulled this excuse when including genAI and it's the third time i've had to say that this issue of genAI placeholder assets is redundant because game devs had a more intuitive solution 30 years ago

screenshots of the startmap I built for qbj3 or Quake Brutalist Jam III some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques
a dreary sky, a lonely grey concrete tower in the center. there are chambers on the base that a person can enter with stairs leading up to thema brutalist concrete lobby, with nice carpet, furniture, and plants hanging from suspended planters. the lighting is warm and welcominga cavernous gallery room, with a high ceiling and artificial sun panels pouring warm diffused light into the room. there is a statue of a floating octahedron in the center. plants and vines hang down from the walls. the room branches off into other chambers.view of a tall, oddly shaped hallway. carpet down the whole length. on the left there is seating, a cabinet, and a large painting of some abstract rock formation.

Now i've played through every map in QBJIII (except the QBJR maps) I can safely say it's extremely good. Love most of the mechanical changes, new models, textures, ui work, sound design and a mountain of good maps from newbies and vets alike. Top shelf jam. Want to go back and play it all again.

it's the biggest aside from the two coffee quake jams, but those consist of a bunch of extremely tiny maps made by a small handful of people.

this list looks pretty good. some of these episodes are included more for what they introduce (for future episodes) rather than their actual quality; s02e09 is top 10 material though.

late 80s-late 90s star trek pretty much consistently follows the formula of weak start -> excellent middle -> decent end

William // stickflip @stickflip.bsky.social · 11/11/2025
there are only a handful of episodes people recommend to new people in seasons 1 & 2, they're mostly just repurposed scripts from what was originally meant to be a proper follow up to TOS. the TNG everyone raves about is really only seasons 3-5. 6 & 7 have good moments but some eps get kinda stupid.
