I’ve been following John Carmack for 35 years and if I’m honest I have nothing to add. In fact, I’ll use this quote later. I’m going to use this tomorrow. Maybe (because it’s 730pm and I’m at a pub) use it tonight.

And to get back to the topic, quake three allowed you to rocket or rail your enemies. Endless options for ruling.

Like quake 3 rocket arena? The nostalgia I think of when those words come together, even when forced. What a time.

People have different facets. The way I interact with my partner for ten years is different to my close friends I’ve had for 20, different to my co-workers, different to my family. But my family and friends and co-workers see how I act with my partner.

I mimic people to some extent treating them similarly how they treat me. There are limits though, I’m bounded on that scale by my personal values which mature as I do. So I’m still never going to act outside the bounds of my morality and values, but I’ll still treat my partner with unconditional love, and my friends with the best times and silly jokes.

These I don’t consider masks, but not everyone sees me the same. They’re just facets.
