Are you playing Q3? If so, on which server? Q3Retro CTF? If so, then we may know each other, LOL!

Not playing Q3. I just answered your question because I saw it on "New Posts".

Last Quake game I played for unhealthy number of hours was Quake 1996 from 1996-1998 at a local cyber cafe with six Pentium 1 LAN.

I think we were charged $2/hr

Quake1 is still a great game today, in 2023! Its app is still supported and developped for the Mac Silicon. There are so much awesome new and highly detailed maps for it now. You may give it a go, especially with mods like "Arcane Dimensions".

My 518 week old iMac 27" needs a direct replacement too it too.

Dream setup

- iMac 27" replacement that may have a 27", 30" or 32" 6K display
- M2 Pro with 32GB RAM & 512GB SSD
- Under $3k as the 2020 iMac 27" base model was repriced to $1999

Dreams and hopes die last.
