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! 😁
A little exprriment... I wanna see how far this post can go & how many people are on what software. Repost for exposure pls

PSA for Android users: Uninstall Simple Mobile Tools apps!
The developer of Simple Mobile Tools, an Android app suite which has been historically well respected in the FOSS space, has sold their apps to a company called ZipoApps, a company that buys apps from independent developers to add advertisements and trackers to them. I highly suggest uninstalling any of the Simple Mobile Tools apps you have on your device and looking for alternatives.

It's what I see quite often, but I never cared enough to look it up.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
