There are too many positives to mention, so I'll go straight to cons/suggestions:
AC was cranked too low in the conference rooms (PC room, stream 1 + 2), it often felt like the appropriate dress code was hoodie + sweat pants which is not something I want to wear in the middle of summer. Maybe I'm just naive and if it hadn't been that low we would have drowned in gamer smell, but I was actually shivering on some days. On the other hand, AC in hotel rooms barely worked at all.
Lack of PCs, everything was already outlined in the posts above.
Due to setup issues and what not, many runs ended up being moved to stream 2, or just played way later in the day. The games that could be moved to stream 2 were marked as setup games, but the only way to find that out was to find it on the schedule page on the esamarathon website, which is really annoying to browse, especially on mobile devices as information about a single run takes up the whole page. Many people, including myself preferred using the horaro page, but that one didn't have setup games marked. People ended up having their games moved to the very final day of the marathon to stream 2, without even knowing that was a possibility. Perhaps runners should be directly informed that their game is a setup game and that could happen.
Lots of runs just ended up happening way later in the day (including one of mine, that got moved from about 11:30PM to 3:30AM). A way of getting coffee during graveyard times would be very appreciated, maybe just have 1 or 2 electrical kettles and instant coffee that's available when the coffee machine is turned off.
I remember playing through it. I guess it should be added to the Levels leaderboard.
Are you on windows 10? If so, I'm not sure if there is a solution, I also have to run in fullscreen.
when will these fuckin mods join the 21st century and accept GYAZO as a valid proof
Most top runners do, but they're not necessary to get a good time in full game runs. For example, the previous world record (12:17) did not use them.
QuakeWorld doesn't have the same physics as the original Quake/NetQuake. Basically, you can't avoid friction in normal Quake and you're running the game at a lower fps (72). ~520 ups is somewhat of a soft cap, most people probably can't go faster than that with regular strafing. There is a different technique to increase your top speeds, explained here:
Jedi Outcast is an old ass game, but it's ran at 125fps. Dell laptops might be good enough, but I'd need to test it first.
If you input the commands in the console with a "seta" (seta g_saber_color "blue") before the cvar, the value should be saved to your config. You can find the config file in your game folder (GameData -> base -> jaconfig.cfg) and change the value manually if you want to with a text editor.
According to the rules: it is not allowed to change your saber hilt to anything else than what is intended from character creation in the game.
