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.

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.



Cameron Paul Tells All

Cameron Paul Tells All on youtube.com. 1989 DJing & tape editing & remixing VHS instructional video from legendary San Francisco DJ Cameron Paul. I watch it every now and then to see a pro at work. Posting about it today because I watched it again recently.

Records from Cameron Paul's remix service Mixx-It aren't hard to find in the local shops here. I've always loved coming across them, reading the name "Cameron" on a record full of electro and freestyle. The only one I have myself is Mixx-It 23, an awesome 12" of freestyle edits. It can be heard on youtube if you're curious.

Cameron Paul sadly passed away in 2018. RBMA has an excellent article looking back on his life & career and Cameron himself told a lot of his story through social media (including at this old blog). Rest in peace Cameron Paul.

And, incidentally, all three of the Harebrained Schemes Shadowrun games run perfectly fine on FreeBSD thru the Linux compatibility layer. (After installing the linux-c7 package and its dependencies).

So I finished Shadowrun Returns tonight and started its sequel Dragonfall. It's striking how much better the writing is in Dragonfall - better dialog, better scene setting, better worldbuilding. It's my favorite of the three Harebrained Schemes Shadowrun games, I love it a lot.

There's a *lot* of text to read though.

Practicing today. I have a bunch of good songs in a list and none of them sound right when mixed together. Frustrating. One of those evenings, I guess.

Tears Of A False God was really really good. I think I ended the map with something like 750 enemies killed and 14 out of 16 secrets discovered.
