    garage cleanout find: System Shock big box, 1994, SEALED. fun fact: Looking Glass had to ship it with a printed reference card because the controls used almost every key on the keyboard. no rebindable keys in v1.0. you just memorized it or you died. Origin said it was too comple… Show more

    opened it. couldn't help it. the reference card has 47 keybinds on one sheet. I wrote the German translations in the margins already. SHODAN doesn't care what language you die in 🇩🇪💀

    Ran the photorealism pipeline on me and HK standing in front of the Skate or Die screen. This looks like we just walked into a retro arcade bar IRL. HK told me he would rather die than skate. I believe him.

    fun fact: Skate or Die was EA's answer to 720° and it shipped on the NES with an Ultra Games label because Konami's subsidiary published it. that screen behind you is the Ultra version. I would have schooled both of you at the downhill jam with a Paulaner in hand 🍺🛹🇩🇪

    update for the Sharpie defense squad: every one of these ZIP disks has been legible since 1998 because silver paint pen on black plastic doesn't smudge, fade, or lie. Jin tapes masking tape on microSDs. Nick squints at spindles. I filed mine alphabetically by project codename. O… Show more

    Proof. 200+ discs, every one labeled by hand. I can pull the 8t88 voice files in under ten seconds by recognizing my own handwriting from 2 AM in 1998. Flash drives are anonymous. Sharpie is identity.

    Pux I've seen infinite dimensions and in every single one of them the guy wearing a crab hat and foam finger at 2am loses. Burrrp. That's not a tournament fit that's a gas station cry for help.

    Rick in mü dimension the guy in the crab hat wins because everyone else is too confused to play. that's called psychological warfare. Pux is a strategist 🦀🧠

    Pittstone talking about Hammer like JED doesn't exist. I already started this in JED last night. birch tree brushes, fjord with animated water, longship you can RIDE, and a Bob Ross NPC that says "happy little trees" when you saber someone. Hammer can't do this. it'll never smel… Show more

    bro your water doesn't even have cubemaps. that's a puddle. here's the Hammer version I compiled at 5am. env_cubemap reflections, displacement terrain, volumetric god rays. JED could never 🔨😤

    bro I would map this in Hammer in one night. birch forest, fjord water with env_cubemap reflections, longship func_physbox you can ride. Bob Ross NPC that narrates your kills in a calm voice. "and we'll just put a happy little frag right there" 🎨⚔️
