I guess shouldn’t researched who is Quake 3’s announcer. Being a fan of this genre is a bit conflictive

    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

      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

        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.

          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.

          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.

            easy enough to install a no-cosmetics mod as well, which makes the game run annoyingly better.

            I really appreciate how much freedom TF2 still allows its players with their configs and graphics.

      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

      quake community overall seems to be chill is just that some ex Id folks can be a bit of dickheads (carmack for example)
