If you like brutalism, you might also enjoy the Quake Brutalist Map Jam 3, which released last month: https://www.slipseer.com/index.php?resources/quake-brutalist...
My favorite map is ‘One Need Not Be a House’ by Robert Yang, which was inspired by Louis Kahn's "brick brutalism" masterpieces in Bangladesh and India, as well as contemporary level design like The Silent Cartographer. The artist writes about their process on their blog post, https://www.blog.radiator.debacle.us/2026/01/one-need-not-be...
The map jam is standalone and uses custom assets so you don’t need a copy of Quake to enjoy it. Check the website for the ‘standalone’ variant.
Sorry for derailing! Cool laptop stand!
Was just gonna say this is a great accessory to put your computer on while playing QBJ3!
Yang also regularly writes really interesting blog posts, mostly around game design. Very much recommend keeping tabs on him.
Just finished reading Masters of Doom crazy Quake is still a thing today
I do really like the fast pace of Doom Eternal and Dark Ages which you can see here I think
