quake 2 crashes half the time I launch it

and even when it does launch, it can't do mouse input properly

gripes about japanese writing 

I hate hiragana because it's ALMOST sensible but it's not actually and has all these annoying inconsistencies

like, it's so close to having a very easy to learn system where all the syllables with an /a/ vowel have a certain symbol structure, and all the syllables with /k/ have a certain shape

but a bunch of letters mess it up

and then also sometimes they use the wrong symbol for certain things??? for no reason???

I just realised that quake 3 doesn't have any enemies you can place down to make a fun singleplayer action level because it's a multiplayer only game

so I'm downloading and setting up quake 2 instead, because that gives me somewhere to start

played a bunch of quake 3 because I wanna get back into editing levels using ✨ brush-based level editors ✨

it's not really the kinda game I'd spend ages playing, but it should be fun to make some weird levels and then try and packaged them up into some kinda story

question about video game level editors 

hey, are there any tools like Source Engine's hammer that are:

* available on linux
* don't require me to purchase a game first?

I'm getting really nostalgic for the level design stuff I used to do for portal and half life 2, and I want to mess around again, but don't have windows

facebook, negative 

can't wait to not be able to keep in touch with people in my linguistics courses this semester, because everyone local *only* uses facebook
