LinuxDesktop

Looking forward to 2025, Year of the Linux Desktop!

Had a few nice matches on HC just now. For a while I was checking it before hitting Silent, but I gave up since nobody was ever there. I'll keep checking it and maybe idle there a bit to see if we can get some interest!

The ET Hardcore server used to be pretty active, but it seems to be have died out about a year ago, and everybody moved over to Silent. I really miss having friendly fire on, as I think it forces heavy weapons and artillery to be a little more responsible. Looks like the Legacy server has FF on, too. Is it just me, or do other people miss it, too? Any interest in trying to get a critical mass of people back on HC, or on ETL? There were spontaneously some nice HC matches the other day when Silent was down. Maybe if we planned a time it would work?
