Mix will be up mid-day tomorrow (Friday). I spent all day working out a tracklist, finally settled on one a few hours ago & ran out of energy.
Couldn't make it good enough to meet my standards in time.

the DM4 Jam is really good. Played 12 or 13 maps tonight, a little over half the pack. I'm liking it a lot.

Streaming the #quake1 DM4 Jam map pack tonight at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Will get to some Shadowrun Dragonfall later if I can (DM4 pack might be long).
Writing to report that the Harebrained Schemes Shadowrun games (Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong) all run under FreeBSD. I got them working by following the Linux Binary Compatibility chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook (using the CentOS base system linux-c7 as instructed by 10.3) and then installing the linux-nvidia-libs package to support my graphics card. After that I was able to directly execute the Linux binaries downloaded from GOG. (This configuration is, of course, not officially supported by anyone. I got it to work but I can't guarantee that it'll work for anyone else.)
I like these games a lot. They're an interesting combination of tactical combat RPG and '90s Shadowrun novelization. The second one, Dragonfall, is my favorite of the trilogy, I think it has the best balance of those elements. I've had a rare crash or two while playing Dragonfall but otherwise all three games run flawlessly for me.

The latest episode of the Backlisted book discussion podcast is about Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. Listening to it now. I very much need to get to Roadside Picnic, it's been on my to-read list for a long time.

Checked Twitch a few moments ago and saw that Feasel is streaming again after a five or six year break. Very happy to see him, I really like his streams, his attitude.

Watching Slacker (1991) again tonight. Looks like somebody has uploaded it to youtube:
I love Slacker. It reminds me of my 20s. I should write a few words about it.
Ambient, electro, IDM. A little dubby. Something mellow for this (now late) show. Long tracks by Ed Chamberlain, Metamatics, Permutation, and Rings Around Saturn.

Continuing my playthrough of Shadowrun Dragonfall on stream tonight. The party has just tracked down Green Winters so I'm still in the first third of the game I think. Reading aloud and doing turn-based RPG combat at

I'm really happy to have a quake mapping toolchain set up again. I don't do visual art other than mapping really so it's nice to have an outlet for that, to be able to paint a kind of picture or build a kind of sculpture. An environment.

Oh no the version of netradiant in the FreeBSD packages repository works and I managed to compile ericw's bsp, light, and vis.
It's going to be difficult to not spend all my time mapping for Quake.
