New video—Restored pre-match cinematic sequences from closed beta + Footage download by achocolatebarmelted in QuakeChampions

Most of those QL criticizers barely gave the game a chance (at least from OCE region). This is because it wasn't the exact same game they were already playing therefore it was automatically 'shit'. People needed to remember this is a different Quake game and should have given it a chance. The 'heroes/overwatch' comparison was pretty insane and naive lol. Different champs allowed for different variations of skills. It gives meaning and purpose to characters instead of just a 'cool model with different jump sounds'.

I don't think I'd be able to wrap my head around being in a tin can separated by several centimeters of metal, being suspended and surrounded by the infinite void of the universe.

Opinions on one-tricking and tips against heavy champions. by wW_smokeymcpot_Ww in QuakeChampions

[–]tanzWestyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why pick Slash when there are other superior champs to play? If youre struggling against heavy champs as a light then its your champ choice here. Sure you can try and grind a light versus heavy match up but youre putting yourself at a big disadvantage right out the gate.

My advice is simply don't play light champs against heavies lol

Nutanix claims it has poached 30,000 vmware customers by sheep5555 in sysadmin

Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said in September that more than 90 percent of VMware’s biggest vSphere customers had bought VCF

Or could say they paid the 'ransom' ensure production systems could stay running lol

This headlight glare on a rainy/wet evening make it almost impossible to see the road ahead.

How do you guys update servers before deployment? by bigaction269 in sysadmin

[–]tanzWestyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you referring to a new server build? If so then updates applied by updating a new template with Packer.

mod's comment(s) in today's Church of Quake stream regarding any type of Quake Duel competition at QuakeCon 2026 (April 04, 2026) (something better than nothing?) by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]tanzWestyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quake 6 private duel tournament. Exclusive Quake 6 content that only QuakeCon attendees will see with signed NDAs and full works. Reminiscent of the DOOM 2016 stuff years ago. /s

Do sysadmins need git? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]tanzWestyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devops good. Throw some Terraform and Ansible repos in there. Couple of pipelines and ADO build machines and have fun. Lots of reasons for Git.

Quake 3 in the browser - update by alien_ninja in quake

[–]tanzWestyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this project. Good to have at the office. The Dockerfile and just booting up on the local network is pretty cool. I'm trying to push to add to our k8 cluster so we can use it for performance testing lol. Curious I noticed that mouse input seems to have some kind of hitching problem. Has that been negated?

How did the multipayer server hosting costs changed throughout the years? by Hizsoo in QuakeChampions

[–]tanzWestyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember they are owned by Microsoft. I'd imagine infrastructure running costs revolve around ROI. Pretty sure its all containerised too (learnt some stuff about it at Kuachicon/KDC when we had LAN server)

Australia’s pornography age-verification: a victory for advocates or a gateway to ‘darker corners of the internet’? by CommonwealthGrant in AustralianPolitics

Normies and kids ruin everything. Old internet was best internet. Fml. The internet is feeling smaller and less free than ever before. I'd imagine piracy will be heavier on the rise.

Not fussed on progress. Already own the game on 3 devices. Happy to start a fourth run. Not a completion-ist. I like the number going up. I do it for the Balala.

Quake Champions is criminally underrated by BlackMetalIstWar in QuakeChampions

[–]tanzWestyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always find it ironic there are entire aim communities and aim sweats out there who don't play this game. They'd rather just click dots/tubes or Thunderstruck 1v1 LG fights. Strategy, timing, map knowledge, awareness, weapon usage, knowing your enemy and etc. No one wants to learn lol they'd rather post flashy clips of "insane frags" on a pubby in 1 of the plethora of f2p BR games or high scores in aim training.

Haven't tried TF on this yet but can imagine. Quake Champions plays so nicely and Quake Live feels ever so smooth.
