QUAKECON 2023 - Thank you from The QUAKE PUB to John Carmack

On behalf of Quake Family I decided to give massive THANK YOU to
John Carmack for being part of team, that started it all and eventually caused millions of fans worldwide to meet for decades here in Dallas for most energising convention in The World.

🍻 I bet "Commander Keen" with QuakeCon fans touched at least 1337 independent topics during 2 to 3 hours when actual line was created.

Answering theirs questions to depths only few can understand and bringing back amazing tradition of him talking to nerds after each Keynote on previous QuakeCons🥰

Was pleasure meeting you sir, welcome home❣️

Must be a great feeling knowing that every time the crowd cheers for something it's because of what you created

[fenix]

What an absolute legend. I've been enjoying his work since Commander Keen. Still playing quake live almost every day ~25 years later.

[dosgwexe-sx]

look at the enthusiasm and pure kindness and humility when he answers to the questions from a simple fan - this man is just so inspiring...what a legend person and programmer...

[itnefer]

"I think the world is a problem waiting to be optimized" - John Carmack. What a great thing to say!

[wiskasIO]

The Master. MODing Quake led me to learn C and that kick-started my career as a programmer. 🙌🏼

[urazsoktay]

John Carmack is one of my heroes. What a legend. The best programmer, coder in gaming world ever.

Man, so glad Quakecon is back in person, you can feel the energy and Carmack is there as well. He is so happy to be back . Even if he is not with ID anymore, you can tell he is very welcomed and his presence there is as if he never left . I really hope of some sort of colab with Id in some capacity, with his new AI endeavors, something . Him working with vg again would be perfect . The only one missing was Romero, how i wish for him as well to colab with ID, maybe making at least one level .

[TraumfresserBMofficial]

He may not be in the company anymore but I guarantee you he’s applauded by everyone who currently works there every time he comes to visit.

What a legend this man is. Awesome interview man, nice to see some of camera stuff from qcon.

[tokeezeno]

I started tearing after watching this video. This man actually doesn't even realize how fucking great he is

[raymondgeorg]

It took people a decade to even discover all the mechanics he made with Quake architecture. Dude is HIM.

That Quakecon 2008 logo on the shirt. ^_^ The Quakecon when they showcased id Tech 5 engine and RAGE tech demo.

[Alexandra-Rex]

Man, I miss Carmack's keynote speeches.

[nikolaha]

I got a chance to meet him very briefly at one of his presentations years ago and he signed my q3a cd cover. That was one of the best days in my life for real. He is so awesome and smart and humble and polite. We were just some dumbazz kids back then, had to borrow parents car to drive out there... it made a huge impression on me! Long live the king!

[tommj]

I'm so glad I had John Carmack growing up, as a Role model. Truly a great human, just oozing inspiration and positivity for so many of us.

[hereticsshallbecleansed]

Man I would LOVE to see a Camrack+old team tackle a modern fps. Doesn't even have to have the best graphics just needs to play damn good. I beat Quake 2 Remastered the other day and man the movement, the shooting, the weapons, so good.

[PobresColecionadoresdoBrasil]

This guy is one of the most brilliant minds to ever walk the earth.

[CaliburovX]

Thank you interdenominational space warlock and whisperer of the divine tongue John Carmack!

[deviandrianto]

John "The Legend" Carmack - authentic & down to earth.
