Welp, Blender 5 just caused a video driver crash as it had an implosion, at a moment when I wasn't even doing anything except looking at menus trying to spot stuff that had changed.

I've no idea how commonly it crashes generally but I never had one in 4.4/4.5.

Been wanting to do something with textures and attempt baby's first level building with a 3D modeller. It was a bit of a steep learning curve vs GtkRadiant, but I got to the point of making very bland room 😄 - newfound respect for every game level I ever ran through.

Out of curiosity, I risked trying some of that Mr Beast Feastables chocolate last night. Like all American chocolate, it tasted like somebody had thrown up on an advent calendar.

I can only endorse this description. Criminally negligent not to do an updated control scheme as part of the remaster.
My game's weirdest feature explained in 5 words or less:

Awful controls. Just terrible. Dreadful!

This will be out as soon as the boring paperwork stuff is confirmed.
This little texture pack is getting there. It was quite small pack done for a 2002 Quake 3 add-on map. I've retouched almost everything to some extent, added many new variants, and put in some completely new stuff.
