Demons of Problematique 2.

Glorious software mode.

This is not a software renderer. It only has disabled textures filtering, a move I approve of, for low res textures of glorious 90s shooters.

Sadly, winquake works only in windowed mode on my system, which is a blasphemy for an immershun incarnate game like Quake.
DOSbox emulates also performance from the 90s and I cannot into 20fps action games since I am not a consoletard.
You can choose 16-bit color and lower resolution on modern engine ports too, though. It looks close to software renderer then.

I installed this unnoficial patch on top of the original Quake, for some tweaks. I only tinkered with some graphical options, there is a lot of them. It probably is like with source ports of Doom, that give them to the player. Thanks for the additional info.

Yeah WinQuake doesn't work very well with modern rigs, and to be honest I haven't launched it in years so I didn't even remember how it looked like. I hope you played on Nightmare, Ninja Destroyer .
The enemy I hate the most in Quake is definitely the Vore, especially on Nightmare where their spikeballs are extremely fast and very accurate. The other monsters are quite easy to defeat depending on both the terrain and if they're used in combination with other monsters. Despite its rather limited bestiary Quake can be seriously vicious with its monster use, more than Doom in my opinion.

I didn't want to imply that there is anything wrong with how you have set it up, or that it doesn't look great, in fact I play it like that myself.
I've just had to, in an aspie fasion point out, that it's not a software renderer, in case someone was interested in an authentic experience like in the 1996

one of the reasons I prefer Quake sp to the build era games. The enemies are just much funnier to fight, cooler to look at, with insane abilities. The combat is just funnier and more tense

Quake also shows how you can have a fast, furious single player game even without having hordes of enemies at a time ala Doom and Serious Sam

I played on Hard, and that was suffice for me .
I never played the official addons though, so maybe I'll give a try with them some time later.

Scourge of Armagon is very good, but Dissolution of Eternity is rather bad. The good thing is there's lots of really good custom maps around for Quake.

Some random STALKER shots (using RMA).

 

[Kem0sabe]

People are saying this is one of the best looking games on the xbox one.

Spoiler

First set is obviously running on different hardware (PC).

 

[DalekFlay]

I generally didn't think the bloom in Bioshock Infinite was as bad as people said, but holy shit this one shop in the DLC...

 

[DwarvenFood]

Forza 5 E3 looks way better.

Looks like Neverhood mixed with that creepy city level from Evil Twin. Did anybody actually play the latter game, by any chance?

 

[Cowboy Moment]

The Swapper:

Spoiler

The game looks kinda bad in screenshots, but very good in motion, one of the very few games to use blurring effects well. The atmosphere is amazing, and the gameplay is great as well, some of the best puzzles I've seen in years. Heartily recommended.

The Next Big Thing:

Spoiler

A nice little adventure game, although it's on the simpler side of things.

*Raises hand* Reminds me I still have to finish Evil Twin. Quite odd but fun game.

And there's a nice LP of it in my sig you know. And it will get finished too!

Holidays are over.

And the kerbins are home. I had <50 science before the Laythe mission took off and this is before my two probes have done anything (Currently sending the first to its destination; gotta love single ions at 35% throttle.)

Initial staging setup. Outer tanks have a T30 engine to help offset the weight of the 1.625 jumbos and the inner tanks have Mainsails. Tanks are shed two at a time. On the last pair of Mainsails, the nukes on my interplanetary stage ignite and, with a bit of micromanagement, enable me to reach a low orbit (85k is ideal) with ~500 fuel left in the Mainsail tanks.

The core of the payload. Takes around 25minutes to do a Jool transfer burn straight from Kerbin, but most of the weight is fuel. The bottom jumbo is the tanker I leave in orbit and the forward and rear facing engines are used to dock.

Ended up getting home with tons (1200) of fuel left over. Pity I drained the tanker in Laythe orbit dry, as that would've made a good emergency refueling station.

Quake (Wars)

If I remember correctly, I thought Fiends are blind, and navigate using sound only. Do you remember if that is actually true?

 

[marooned]

I don't remember Quake having special AI for blind Fiends. They see you, they charge at you.

 

[skacky]

Oh no, they can definitely see you.

 

[Horus]

That probably works the same as the bats or they hear your breathing so they always know you're there.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Oh no, they can definitely see you.

Yes, and the facehugger jumping technique is really testing the dexterity of player.
The best are the pitch black sections of the levels. "I did it, I killed them", moving around the corner, and there are two of them .
