Biodegradable

I'd like to be removed from the active playtesters list, please. After 3 years and recording nearly 3000 playtest videos, I have nothing left in the tank. I'm burnt out and need a break from demon murder for a while and I don't want mappers waste their time sending requests. I apologise for any inconvenience. Hopefully, I'll come back to active duty at some point, but I think it's for the best I be removed from the list for now. This lab rat needs a holiday. ;^)

6 goddamn years, mate. I had nothing left to lose at that point. My options were to give freelancing a try or rot in unemployment until my depression eventually killed me. Fortunately, I have a skill set I can sell to random weirdos on the internet, so I spent an entire year studying the ins and outs of what it takes to run a business out of your bedroom, got all the legal stuff accounted for, did a government-funded business course of sorts and then start tapping every YouTuber on the shoulder asking if I could edit for them. 4 years later, my life is significantly better. I've still got some more improving to go, especially in regards to moving into my first apartment (the housing situation in Australia is insane at the moment) but I'm a hell of a lot happier now. I don't know if freelancing will work for everyone, but I think it's going to become more common as time goes on. Froz, you have a skill set that you can sell online just as I have. I highly recommend that you should try and take advantage of that. People will always need IT guys. ;^)

Hope to see more Squonker WADs show up as an official add-on in the future. Congratulations, kids. :^)

It's finally here! Stoked to see it released at last, Bill. :^)

A friend of mine made a fun video about Quake.

Not gone, just busy lol. Might be able to pick up where I left off the day after tomorrow. :^P

That's some gorgeous texture work. I was wondering when we might see ZOONTEX get some more time in the sun.

I'm not religious by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm always thinking about your plight and wishing you the best, Laz. Keep us updated as much as you can and keep your wits about you. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Considering just how old the game is combined with the fact that it's not nearly the cash-cow some people make it out to be these days, being "Free To Play" now; I don't think Valve has much incentive to actually fix it beyond this point. Thanks to the source code leaking in 2020, I don't think they really can. The TF2 community can mitigate the problem a little by using custom community servers to combat the bots, but I think they're shit out of luck if they think Valve plans to wage a never-ending arms race against the bot programmers. It's sad, but TF2's been around for almost 20 years. Its time has well and truly passed, and I'd say it had a pretty damn good run for a game of its ilk that none of the thousand of imitators every publisher keeps farting out these days will ever live up to. TF2 was a watershed moment that captured lightning in a bottle and made a huge cultural impact on gaming, independent animation and internet culture. It was one-of-a-kind, but it was never going to last forever. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

It's finally here! Glad to see it all done, you guys. This has been one of my favourite projects to playtest in recent memory. :^)

Very spicy little map, fam. There was some interesting challenges to the use of cramped spacing, but at no point did I feel like you were being unfair. Very curious set-pieces, sector layouts and texturing. It's good old-fashioned fun!

And I forgot your username used to be "lolmcswagger". How time flies.

Need to blow the dust out of your memory cartridge, fam. DW's been running on Invision since 2017.
