# OpenArena
OpenArena (OA) is a first person arena shooter [game](game.md), a [free as in freedom](free_software.md) clone of the famous game Quake 3. It runs of [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md), [Winshit](windows.md), [BSD](bsd.md) and other systems, it is quite light on system resources but does require a [GPU](gpu.md) acceleration (no [software rendering](sw_rendering.md)). Quake 3 engine ([Id tech 3](id_tech3.md)) has retroactively been made free software: OpenArena [forked](fork.md) it and additionally replaced the proprietary Quake assets, such as 3D models, sounds and maps, with community-created Japanese/nerd/[waifu](waifu.md)-themed [free culture](free_culture.md) assets, so as to create a completely free game. OpenArena plays almost exactly the same as Quake 3, it basically just looks different and has different maps. It has an official [wiki](wiki.md) at https://openarena.fandom.com and a forum at http://www.openarena.ws/board/. OpenArena has also been used as a research tool.
As of version 0.8.8 there are 45 maps and 12 game modes ([deathmatch](deathmatch.md), team deatchmatch, [capture the flag](ctf.md), last man standing, ...).
The character art exhibits what [SJWs](sjw.md) would call high sexism. This is great, it's the good old 90s art style. The art is very nice and professional looking (no programmer art). Characters such as Angelyss are basically naked with just bikini strings covering her nipples. Other characters like Merman and Penguin (a typical "[Linux](linux.md) user") are pretty funny. Very refreshing in the politically correct era.
OpenArena is similar to e.g. [Xonotic](xonotic.md) -- another free arena shooter -- but is a bit simpler and oldschool, both in graphics, features and gameplay. It has fewer weapons, game modes and options. However there exist additional modifications, most notably the Ratmod (or RatArena) which makes it a bit more "advanced" (adds game modes, projectiles go through portals, improved prediction code etc.). As of 2022 an asset reboot in a more Anime style, called OA3, is planned and it seems to be aiming in the right direction -- instead of making a "modern HD game" (and so basically just remake Xonotic) they specifically set to create a *2000 game* (i.e. keep the models low poly etc.). It could also help distinguish OpenArena from Quake more and so make it legally safer (e.g. in terms of [trade dress](trade_dress.md)).
{ I've been casually playing OA for a while alongside Xonotic. I love both games. OA is more oldschool, boomer, straightforward and KISS, feels slower in terms of movement and combat but DM matches are much quicker, fragging is very rapid. ~drummyfish }
The project was established on August 19 2005, one day after the Quake 3 engine was freed.

# Tool Assisted Speedrun
Tool assisted speedrun (TAS) is a category of [game](game.md) [speedruns](speedrun.md) in which help of tools and play techniques that would normally be considered [cheating](cheat.md) (such as [scripting](script.md) and time manipulation) is allowed. This makes it possible to create flawless, perfect or near-perfect runs which can serve as a theoretical upper limit for what is achievable by humans -- and of course TAS runs are pretty [fun](fun.md) to watch. The normal, non-TAS runs are called RTA (real time attack). For example the current (2022) RTA world record of Super Mario Bros is 4.58.881 while the TAS record is 4.41.27.

{ Watching a TAS is kind of like watching the [God](god.md) play the game. I personally like to watch Trackmania TASes, some are really unbelievable. Also note that [SAF](saf.md) games have TAS support. ~drummyfish }

# Woman
A woman (also femoid or succubus) is one of two genders of humans, the other one being [man](man.md). Women are notoriously bad at [programming](programming.mg), [math](math.md) and [technology](technology.md): in the field they usually "work" on [bullshit](bullshit.md) (and harmful) positions such as some "diversity department", [marketing](marketing.md), "HR" or [UI](ui.md)/[user experience](ux.md). If they get close to actual technology, their highest "skills" are mostly limited to casual "[coding](coding.md)" (which itself is a below-average form of [programming](programming.md)) in a baby language such as [Python](python.md) or [Javascript](javascript.md). Mostly they are just hired for quotas and make coffee for men who do the real work.

Women also can't drive, operate machines, they can't compare even to the worst men in sports, both physical and mental such as [chess](chess.md). Women have to have separate leagues and more relaxed rules, e.g. the title Woman Grand Master (WGM) in chess has far lower requirements to obtain than regular Grand Master (GM). (Just as of this moment in the FIDE database there are 19 living male players rated better than the best woman ever was; also none of them is [black](nigger.md), only one is Indian). Of course one might argue that worse performance of women in chess is caused culturally; women aren't led so much to playing chess, therefore there is fewer women in chess and so the probability of a good woman player appearing is lower. This may be partially true even though genetic factors seem at least equally important and it may equally be true that not so many women play chess simply because they're not naturally good at it; nevertheless the fact that women are generally worse at chess than men stands, regardless of its cause.

# Xonotic
Xonotic is a [free as in freedom](free_software.md) fast multiplayer arena [first-person-shooter](fps_game.md) [game](game.md) similar to e.g. [Quake](quake.md). It is one of the best libre games, i.e. games that are completely free by both code and data/content. It is available under [GPLv3](gpl.md). Its gameplay, graphics and customizability are pretty great, it may well be the best in the AFPS genre, even compared to AAA [proprietary](proprietary.md) games -- this kind of quality is very rare.

{ I've been playing Xonotic for years, it's really an excellent game. I've met a lot of nice people there as the players are usually programmers and people looking for [FOSS](foss.md). The gameplay is addictive and relaxing and you can have a great chat during the game. Xonotic is a masterpiece. ~drummyfish }

Xonotic was forked from a game called [Nexuiz](nexuiz.md) after a [trademark](trademark.md) controversy. Nexuiz itself was created on top of liberated Quake 1 engine, so Xonotic still bears a lot Quake's legacy, however it masterfully expands on its core principles and makes the gameplay even better. For example rockets shot by rocket launcher can be guided with mouse while holding down the left button which adds a new skill element. New types of weapons were added to the classic AFPS weapons (e.g. the infamous electro, a [meme](meme.md) spamming weapon used by noobs for its forgiveness of lack of skill). Movement physics was also modified to give better air control and faster movement as a result.

The game's modified [Quake](quake.md) 1 engine is called [Darkplaces](darkplaces.md). It can be highly customized and modded. Just like in other Quake engine games, there are many console commands (*cvars*) to alter almost anything about the game. Advanced programming can be done using [QuakeC](quakec.md). Maps can be created e.g. with [netradiant](netradiant.md).

Xonotic is similar to other libre AFPS games such as [OpenArena](openarena.md) and [Red Eclipse](red_eclipse.md). Of these Xonotic clearly looks the most professional, it has the best "graphics" in the [modern](modern.md) sense but still offers the option to turn all the fanciness off. OpenArena, based on Quake 3 engine, is simpler, both technologically and in gameplay, and its movement is slower and with different physics. While OpenArena just clones Quake 3, Xonotic is actually an original game with new ideas. Similar thing could be said about Red Eclipse, however that shows some infection with SJW poison.
