Sweeney is a third-rate Carmack
That's insulting to Carmarck considering how intelligent and talented the man is. Sweeney is a mediocre programmer and a hack businessman at best.
Time Travelling Interdimensional Energy Being John Carmack!?
Which Carmack is the chud hack and which Carmack is the one that had his hands in Unreal Tournament
Fuck does that mean there's a third Carmack I'm forgetting about? 'Cause I'd swear there's a Carmack in the credits for UT2k4.
Y'know after wracking my brain for the past 15 minutes you might be right; I might've somehow mentally mondegreen'd the credits screen of Quake 3 Arena over that of Unreal 2k4
What?
There's two Carmacks in gaming and I can never keep them apart, which is a point of cognitive dissonance for me because one just held a right-winger convention and the other was one of the minds behind the now-defunct Unreal franchise that I still miss to this day.
Bro what are you smoking
This past fall's harvest, actually; that is a perfectly cromulent question to ask for once. As it is, pretty sure my brain mixed up the credit screen for Quake 3 with UT2k4.
