Are you guys all right there?
I just want to export my room keys, import them into gomuks and DELETE this file — I'm not going to store it anywhere, why should this passphrase have any complexity requirements at all? 😲

Please don't follow the worst practices of so-called "Big Tech" and make those who know precisely what they are doing jump through extra hoops — give a warning, in huge red letters if you must, but give me a "feck off, I know what I'm doing!" button please.

No, we didn't drink any vodka! We just… you know, got tired. Yep — tired 😼

Something's wrong with my electric kettle — it's like relay got short circuited and it keeps boiling water even when it should be off.
Because of it the logic that makes it heat the water gradually is also defeated and it just starts spewing boiling water all over the kitchen 😰
Luckily, no animals were harmed, but it looked scary!

And yes, of course it has new(-ish) monsters and weapons that are actually useful. And some new mechanics like those wall dispensers — no, not like in Half-Life! 😡
System Shock was first to introduce them — and relied on them heavily. Nothing original was introduces in HL. In fact, it gave me the first impression of being so unoriginal that I've given up on it almost immediately to play Shrak — another Quake mod that wasn't even that great when I look at it now. But it did have its fun parts.

Speaking of #Quake , here is one of my all time favourite mods: https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/oum.html
TBH, it took effort to find it — had I not been hung over from the New Year's celebration, I'd probably given up finding it as I've been certain it had a completely different name.
Anyway, the maps are super-neat with lots of detail, and it has atmosphere and somewhat vague, but a story — not unlike Zerstŏrer, but it's still in the vein of Quake.

Damn, QuakeForge project is still alive!

I used to hang out with the devs on their IRC channel when I was graduating high school. Yes, back then IRC was still a thing and XMPP wasn't yet — I mean it probably existed in some form, but even in tech circles people were mostly unaware of it. Anyway, long time ago. CVS was mostly used for source control — that long ago.
And that project is still alive and well today — even has Vulkan renderer. Good to see! 😁
