so ive been playing through quake 4 (again - for the first time since 2005) and god damn is it nasty.
back then i was in my early 20s i played it and it fast became one of my favorite fps titles. it had a thick atmosphere, faster gunplay & better graphics than doom 3, etc.
so friday afternoon after going to the gym i felt all testosteroney and wanted to play something punchy and brutal. spent about 5 hours playing quake 4 this past weekend and i found myself incredibly irritable afterward. like all the sights and sounds of pain made me tense and stressed out.
honestly, for as much as i like quake 4, it's a fucking monument to human suffering. confused disembodied heads and limbs being kept alive via alien technology, vivisection, skin stretched and crudely bolted onto mechanical parts, the stroggification process, the waste processing facility (all the human bits the bad guys couldn't use).
it's like a switch went off in my head over the last couple years, and being in my mid-30s has turned me into a sissy.
im going back to terraria and stardew.
