Saying things like "play the character you want man and let the spirit take you over" or "dude, just go with it and have positive vibes, we will win that way". We had such a great game we teamed into a group of 6 and won something like 7 games in a row.

    That was one of the most charismatic strategic stoner hippies I ever played with. :D

    ahah, i've had something similar happen to me as well! That's awesome!

    I know experienced players like to differentiate themselves from newbs, but I think that "mastery" of movement can be offered in different ways. See UT with wall jumps and the likes.

    bunnyhopping was a thing in CS as well, is not like it's still a thing 15 years later.

    The flaw in your reasoning is that removing bunny hop from Quake is like removing jumping from Mario, or the dash spin from Sonic. It's part of the core of the game, it's what makes Quake's movement so unique and smooth, it adds momentum to the players flow because coming to a complete stop is "punished" by slowing you down, so you have to ramp up speed again, this makes you feel like you should always be in constant movement in Quake -- To me, that's what makes Quake stand out from the crowd.

    Just because it started out as a "bug" in the original Quake's physics, it doesn't invalidate it's significance, I wish all gameplay bugs had this kind of magnitude. :P

    You also did not offer a tangible reason on why you really think bunny hopping should not be in Quake other than comparing it's absence in CS and UT. (CS is a much slower paced game, where constantly moving or jumping around is not part of the game's core, so bunny hopping doesn't really offer much there. UT's movement is also a bit more erratic in flow because of it's iconic dodge.)

  • POTUS 2016

    Ok, I'm genuinely interested in this one, for any trump supporters around here, what do you have to say about this?

    • He said he wouldn’t bomb Syria. You bought it. Then he bombed Syria.
    • He said he’d build a wall along the border with Mexico. You bought it. Now his secretary of homeland security says “It’s unlikely that we will build a wall.”
    • He said he’d clean the Washington swamp. You bought it. Then he brought into his administration more billionaires, CEOs, and Wall Street moguls than in any administration in history, to make laws that will enrich their businesses.
    • He said he’d repeal Obamacare and replace it with something “wonderful.” You bought it. Then he didn’t.
    • He said he’d use his business experience to whip the White House into shape. You bought it. Then he created the most chaotic, dysfunctional, back-stabbing White House in modern history, in which no one is in charge.
    • He said he’d release his tax returns, eventually. You bought it. He hasn’t, and says he never will.
    • He said he’d divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest. You bought it. He remains heavily involved in his businesses, makes money off of foreign dignitaries staying at his Washington hotel, gets China to give the Trump brand trademark and copyright rights, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.
    • He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said. You bought it. Then he put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.
    • He said he’d surround himself with all the best and smartest people. You bought it. Then he put Betsy DeVos, opponent of public education, in charge of education; Jeff Sessions, opponent of the Voting Rights Act, in charge of voting rights; Ben Carson, opponent of the Fair Housing Act, in charge of fair housing; Scott Pruitt, climate change denier, in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency; and Russian quisling Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State.
    • He said he’d faithfully execute the law. You bought it. Then he said his predecessor, Barack Obama, spied on him, without any evidence of Obama ever doing so, in order to divert attention from the FBI’s investigation into collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives to win the election.
    • He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the generals did. You bought it. Then he green lighted a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though his generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained
    • He called Barack Obama “the vacationer-in-Chief” and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer’s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done. You bought it. He has by now spent more taxpayer money on vacations than Obama did in the first 3 years of his presidency. Not to mention all the money taxpayers are spending protecting his family, including his two sons who travel all over the world on Trump business.
    • He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times “fake news” and said they were his enemy. You bought it. Now he gets his information from Fox News, Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.

    Don't put yourself in the situation where you regret not doing stuff you wish you had. One of the worse feelings in the world, is looking back at your past, short or long term and saying "I wish i'd done this or that."

  • Reset

    What did you think the game was going to be, just out of curiosity?

    When I first saw it, I sorta envisioned a game with little to no combat, so puzzles kind of becomes the go-to obvious thing to do.

    I think indie games right now can sorta only do 1 out of 3 things, combat, storytelling or puzzles. When you see a team picking 2 or more out of that list, the game never usually sees the light of day.
