Cool to see the speedruns coming in. :) I bet there are lots of shortcuts to discover in these levels.

If Dawn of the Machine needs the KEX engine, I wonder if it changes things for speedrunners. Bunny hopping seems to work a bit differently at least.

Btw you can tell your friend to turn off the visually impaired font. :D It's on by default for some reason in this engine, but it's really ugly and the normal quake font can be turned back on in the settings.

I told him, but he kept playing that way. I agree, it’s really hard on the eyes.

Nice! However, f14m3z already did it in 33:39. Glad that people try to speedrun this episode. Still waiting for the "true ending" run.

What a blast!!

But f14m3s easy difficult.

Oh! Sorry, my bad. That makes it even more impressive. Congrats!

By the way, why press the nightmare difficulty button each time when returning to the nexus? Am I missing something?

He was under the mistaken impression that this had to be done every time.

Apparently qss runs it as well.
