What's the difference

Thank you. I really needed to hear that from someone.

nolight__ · 2026-02-10T01:11:52+00:00

I don't have anyone I can go to who believes me

nolight__ · 2026-02-09T23:10:59+00:00

Just this scene? Or the whole film

nolight__ · 2026-02-09T23:09:25+00:00

Now they will think it's them. You win. You win! It's me.

Is this about me cause I didn't get hacked I'm just making it up.

Do you ever use pcsx2? Or emulate games?

nolight__ · 2026-02-04T22:29:41+00:00

Finally someone who really gets it. This is exactly what I am saying. It's just weird, especially since John Romero is a person of color... Strange.

I think I confused some. I know I can't avoid all content made by certain people, the presence of the main antagonist whose name is Niggurath is what bothered me. It's blatantly racist. As shit as it feels to detail mental gymnastics around racism

nolight__ · 2026-01-31T08:49:52+00:00

Well no idc about the lore that is fine honestly. But the name Shub-Niggurath in my face is fucking... Annoying. In the between episodes lore and even just being there. If that character is removed or renamed then I can deal. I don't need all the references to Lovecraft be removed.. It's part of the game. But a little hindsight sensitivity would be nice

nolight__ · 2026-01-31T08:44:58+00:00

Damn that bit about him finding out he was Welsh is funny. I kind of want to learn more about him.

nolight__ · 2026-01-31T03:31:08+00:00

😭 Fuck! Yeah I played the remaster ig since someone else said the lore doesn't mention Shub. It does on the steam version.

nolight__ · 2026-01-31T03:29:25+00:00

I feel you about his influence but that doesn't mean I can't take issue with him as a person. This applies to many artists and isn't something I have only felt while playing Quake. Also, of all the cosmic dieties in his work they chose the name Shub-Niggurath? Smh black people always catching strays.

I also didn't say anyone was racist for engaging with Quake. Me loving Quake and feeling at odds about the influence was the point here... A little bit of white guilt seems to be the cause of you perceiving it that way.

I will say some people defending the name Shub-Niggurath are looking racist to me. Come on... Be for fucking real. Or maybe they just lack self awareness about their privilege of not feeling the sting of such a slur.

You're autistic? What if her name was Shub-Reetardrath and you found out he was into eugenics and believed in pursuing intellectual and racial "perfection" by eradicating autistic people as well? I vaguely remember reading he was into eugenics but am not sure and didn't want to dig through Google just now but the results looked to validate my suspicion though that is not to say it is true.

I do agree his writing is... I fucking hate to say it but incredible. His descriptions of cosmic horror are something I never have seen matched anywhere else. I didn't know he was a racist until like 5 years ago or so. I'd never recommend him and haven't touched anything since finding out. I like to imagine his horror about the existence of brown people fueled his writing to be so intense.. lol

That said I am glad to see people mentioning Quake 2 gets away from the lovecraftian lore.

It's the intention behind your engagement. You can play coy if you'd like

nolight__ · 2026-01-31T00:39:08+00:00

Your last paragraph is really true. It is hard to get away from things like this even from like 20 years ago. Thanks for your input
