Oooh the Re:Mobilize Jam for #quake1 was released yesterday. Looks really good, I'm excited to play it.

Re:Mobilize Jam 1: Re:Collections

A jam held from August 1, 2023 to October 1, 2023, featuring 4 maps all making use of the Re:Mobilize mod and its signature movement-based mechanics!

Picking up my game of Shadowrun Hong Kong again today on stream at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

Been 4 or 5 months since I last played. I believe I'm in the middle of the bonus campaign (after the events of the main game).

Finishing off the #quake1 mod Re:Mobilize on stream right now over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Might load up another Q1 mod after depending on how long RM takes.

I've been looking forward to this mod. It has new movement!

It's really funny to me (& it makes me happy) that Wallace Shawn now appears on an official Magic: The Gathering card. (Thanks to his role in The Princess Bride of course).

Now I need them to print an Andre Gregory card.

Latenight Quake. I'm playing through the 2012 #quake1 Honey mod by czg on stream over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

Might do some of Func Map Jam 1 (the Honey-themed jam) later if I have time & energy. (Edit: ended up completing FMJ1 this stream.)

Conclusion: Zerstorer and FMJ 3 are both pretty good. Zerstorer accomplished a lot for a mod made in '97 (breakables, rain, new models & sounds), and FMJ 3 was a cool throwback. I particularly liked MFX and Tronyn's maps from FMJ 3.

Next time I spin up Quake I think I'll play czg's Honey mod and Func Map Jam 1 (the Honey-themed jam)

Streaming some #quake1 again tonight, this time playing through Func Map Jam 3 (the Zerstorer-themed jam).

It's funny to me that most of the reviews I see on Discogs now are comments about this or that particular pressing. I like the half-thought-out comments about the music itself more.

I guess that means I should make an account there and start posting reviews.

I'm going to stream the old #quake1 Zerstörer mod for a few hours over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

I remember when this first came out but I've never played it.

Happy #909Day everybody

Seems like a good time to hear "My 909" by Rude 66 again

My copy still has the receipt with it, says I purchased it in November 2002.

I remember being really confused by it at the time but thinking it was super funky. Being drawn to it in spite of (or because of) how weird it was.

Listening to Spooktinselshoal by Metamatics this afternoon because one of those bandcamp "new release from" emails reminded me I haven't heard it in a while.

My favorite track from the album:

Dayglo Tinsel, by Metamatics

I like digging for old or overlooked music, promoting new artists, and finding (+ demonstrating) the connections between tracks. Those are (some of) the reasons I do what I do, the things I'm interested in, what keeps me going.

I've reached a point now where I'm just too broke to buy music, to dig. Without an influx of new or different tracks to play I've started repeating myself a lot in recent months. I'm not interested in playing the same set over and over, at least not in this format, and so that means it's time to do something else. Hopefully I can find a source of income & then return to DJing in one form or another.
