My tradition of picking whatever goes through my mind at account's creation for my online presence continues unabated. In this case, was playing Death's Door...
I've almost completed the entirety of the 70-something maps in the Quake Brutalist Jam III. Let's talk some numbers first -- I would say I put... roughly 40 hours into it? According to Steam's stats. I've been playing it as a mod on the original Quake - that number sounds like a long time, but time flies when playing this jam. And I need to underline those 40 hours to point at the fact that, at…
