If you've ever wanted to see people play decks worth enough for a down payment on a house this is the time.

I've been a little quiet here because I had a breakthrough over the last few weeks with my implementation of CPM-like movement in #quake1. I've got something that works much better now, though it's only compatible with FTEQW.

Every day I've found new bugs and then fixed them. Bugs in clientside movement prediction, bugs in the slidemove, etc. It's been consuming all my time.

I'll record a video of it soon, or maybe stream some gameplay. For now I've posted the code here:

Completed VtM:B and got my revenge against Ming Xiao for yesterday. To be fair I kind of cheesed my way through her fight (flamethrower). The rest of the ending was easy with some help from viewers.

Really love that game. It's rough around the edges, in some places unfinished even, but it's such a good time.

I do wish it had better (more consistent) audio mixing.

Finishing my playthrough of VtM: Bloodlines tonight at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

Starting at Griffith Park then playing through to the end (Hopefully I won't run out of ammo this time).

Finishing up the Chinatown hub and then moving into the last areas of the game. (We're past the nastiest part of it but still: warning that this is a pretty violent horror game.)

Going into the Hollywood section of VtM: Bloodlines tonight at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

Those content warnings I've been giving about the game? They're for this part. It more than earns its M rating with the violence & gore in the Hollywood section.

Hollywood thru the Fu Syndicate

The edginess continues. Streaming VtM: Bloodlines tonight over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen. Will try to play through the Downtown hub in one go.

Warning again that this game gets to some pretty violent & nasty places.

I'm starting a game of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines on stream tonight over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

Fair warning, this game is real edgy stuff. Violent and gory. (Rated Mature 17+ the ESRB says).

Continuing the Shadowrun Hong Kong bonus campaign today on stream over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

I think this is the second-to-last mission, The Tiger's Den.

SRHK Bonus Campaign (part 3)

The Tiger's Den mission (completed with several reloads). A little sloppy (used a platinum trauma kit) but fine.

I've been switching between programming in Python and Quake C lately and it's starting to scramble my brain. Keep having to remind myself: tabs or spaces? do I need curly braces? etc. .

Oh no I forgot to read the end of the story, the epilogue, that Than wrote to go with the map pack. Dangit. Sorry Than. WIll have to leave myself a note to read that part next time.

I'm playing through Than's #quake1 map pack "Deathmatch Dimension" on stream over at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.

I've been looking forward to this one for a while, I love single player reworks of DM maps.

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.
