Doing ASMD combos will forever be my favorite thing in #UT99 (well, and rockets). 😍 They deal a lot of damage and they can come super unexpected for your opponent.

Here’s a couple of them from today. (Bonus: Funny/mean rocket frag at the end.)

Some of the oldest #UT99 screenshots that I could find on my drive. Must have been late 2000.

Apparently, some 40 FPS was good enough back then to have fun. So much so that I didn’t even bother to reduce texture detail or lower the insanely high resolution of 1024x768? “Nah, this is fine, let’s go.”

Only problem is, there are hardly any UT99 FFA servers left – let alone servers that use vanilla settings. No mods, standard maps (and not just Deck16), more than just Deathmatch, that’s what I’d like to see.

Since I’m playing #UT99 FFA again every now and then, I made a little CLI server “browser”, so I don’t have to launch the full game.

(Actually just an excuse to write a tiny little bit of Rust again. Still a total noob at this, because I don’t use it nearly enough.)

This brought back so many memories. #Quake3 and #UT99 were a huge part of my life back then, genuinely good times.

Now #gameplay footage from #Quake4: The Awakening has surfaced on #YouTube, an expansion that was cancelled after only ten months of development. The footage shows early environments, experimental mechanics and content that was clearly never finished.

Mostly documentary value, but still a fascinating look at what could have been.
Apparently some elements like the Dead Zone #multiplayer mode actually made it into the 1.3 update back then.

Bittersweet to watch.

Been playing UT FFA almost daily lately. 🤔

Works really well on Linux, assuming the server lets me join (some anticheat stuff requires Windows) and assuming I restart the game every now and then: There’s a memory leak somewhere and at some point it just crawls to a halt.

Deck16, of course. Probably the most-played map in history. 🤪 (It is great, though, isn’t it?)
