    At least they’re being honest. See too many people saying stuff runs perfect, then get like 20 fps on min settings

      Yeah, I completely agree. Doesn’t stop publicly celebrating something being “surprisingly okay-ish” from being hilarious to me as a concept, though 😁

  Back in my day, if we wanted medieval Doom, we had to play Heretic

    It’s a shame we don’t get updated sequels to Heretic/Hexen… or Quake, for that matter.

      I have fond memories of Hexen. But most of those are overridden by it being the unfortunate game where I finally realized that first person games make me motion sick.

      “Oof, I don’t feel so hot. Let me keep playing to keep my mind off of it. Maybe a bite to eat. Back to the game, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m…” running to the bathroom and honking up everything I just ate and then some until I’m dry-heaving. I didn’t eat hot dogs for a good five years after that.

  Does this mean the game will be playable without (extra) issue on Linux at release date ? That would be kinda nice :)

  Whew what a whirlwind I’ve had leading up to this while intending to play on deck
