Been playing UT FFA almost daily lately. ๐Ÿค”

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: Thereโ€™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. ๐Ÿคช (It is great, though, isnโ€™t it?)

Games like #UT99 are almost like a dance: Two players knowing the map intimately, jumping across platforms without even looking, planning three shots ahead, predicting each otherโ€™s moves. Crazy. ๐Ÿคช

Hello, yes, Iโ€™d like to alter reality, please.

No, I donโ€™t remember anymore why I have the UT GOTY version and the normal one.

Yes, I skipped UT2k3. (And anything after UT2k4.)

Found these in the archive.

UT99, CTF-Face, October 2002. We were being silly, just spawning barrels and making a huge tower. ๐Ÿฅด

Ah, and now I know what we should have been doing on AS-Frigate โ€ฆ ๐Ÿคฃ

I was so completely lost on that map. Iโ€™m using my User.ini from ~20 years ago and F3 was remapped to something else there. Hence no idea how to view the objectives. ๐Ÿคช And this game is so old that it doesnโ€™t show this stuff interactively, like a modern game probably would. ๐Ÿ˜…

โ€ฆ which is actually pretty interesting from a game design point of view. ๐Ÿค” When you walk past that compressor, itโ€™s just some object โ€“ no highlights or anything. Modern games would probably make this thing glow a bit. Without reading the instructions first, you have no idea what to do.
