Doofus. I make music and mods as Grumpus Wumpus. 📍Falls Church, VA

I'm very close to finishing my first custom Quake map, qrt_grumpuswumpus. Look for it in the upcoming Rooftops Jam. Having spent many hours making Quake-engine maps back in high school, the tools we have access to now in 2026 are spectacular compared to what we used back then.

My wife and I have been watching 80s/90s star trek (her first time) and we're almost through s1 of DS9. The show starts on way better footing than TNG-- some stinkers, but "Duet" is still a 10/10, and "Captive Pursuit" and "Vortex" are also quite good.

Saw an old quote from a TNG producer who said that having a counselor on the bridge crew would date the show more than anything, but it's so much weirder that we're in the 24th century, there's not a single gay person in sight, and Riker doesn't know a neutral pronoun
