I love Quake for many reasons, one main reason is the nostalgia that I attach to it. I like to remember the times when we used to spend nights in some poorly lit basements, playing Quake and "destroying" the source code, creating basically unplayable but oh so fun mods.
After some years there were only two of us left, a friend of mine and me, doing this, loving this game, it's style and it's simplicity.
I recently returned to Quake to remember these times.
Now this memory is "poisoned". Two weeks ago I received the message that this friend of mine I used to share the passion for this game with, decided to end his life.
I'm at a crossroad now. I have to chose to either leave Quake forever and to keep and honour the memories the way they are, or to seriously pick it up once more and finally finish what we started over 10 years ago.
Sorry for my ramblings, I needed to share this
