If you find yourself itching to play a retro FPS on your modern machine, give DUSK [0] a try. The style is on point. This game is ugly where it counts, the environments are blocky and grotesque. The guns have satisfying sounds and animations, the enemies are numerous and the bosses are fun. This game really makes me feel like I'm a kid playing video games instead of last classes of school. I'm waiting for HROT [1] to…

It's unfortunate these people said/did that but can we please stop conflating the personal transgressions of employees as if it's reflective of the company as a whole? It's a few employees, probably early 20s, making some insensitive and off color remarks. That's it, nothing more
Maybe I'm getting old but man, I miss the 90's gaming era ( you can "ok, boomer" me ). Quake, Half Life, Unreal, Hexen, Heretic, Blood... If anyone is interested in a modern 90's style FPS, I recommend you try Dusk.

Afaik, 3D Realms has the rights on it, right?
It's interesting that 3D Realms, a company that was crushed by Duke Nukem Forever chasing the latest/greatest engines and gameplay trends, it making a big comeback with shooters with a focus on solid art style and "classic" gameplay over graphics and gimmicks. Ion Fury was great and Wrath: Aeon of Ruin and Graven both seem to be on track to be great as well.

This was a victory for the common sense right to make fun of things. A parody brand of soap called "ogay" simply is not harmful any more than a gentle parody of white people, America, southerners, Christians, etc as seen all over games like GTA5.

It’s not hypersensitive for someone to say “stop making jokes out of our existence”, especially when those groups are still routinely murdered for the crime of existing.
Jokes that punch down should be judged accordingly

I really would like to see a proper successor of Commander Keen. Although I have no idea how it would look like with modern technology. Afaik, 3D Realms has the rights on it, right? https://legacy.3drealms.com/keenhistory/
They have a lot of foundation for a great universe.
Hopefully they go Mario 64 style and don’t get gritty/realistic. It could be awesome.

It looks like they went for a cartoon aesthetic similar to Fairly Odd Parents & co.
