1. GZDoom
2. Any highres mode available
3. As much as possible
4. Continuous and I save spam
5. Not sure, whatever GZDoom plays by default
6. Alien Vendetta
7. Mouselook on and jump and crouch, but being conscious of not breaking progression, e.g. not shooting trigger targets unless I am lined up with the horizon, not jumping over/under stuff, unless I already did a jumping puzzle and the level has me to do it again and it's annoying.
8. Nearest pixel now, it used to be filtered textures back in the days, but I now prefer the old aesthetic and how the textures were made to tile with nearest pixel, else there are horrible seams sometimes.

People, how can you tolerate 35 fps? It's way too choppy for I expected it to be 🤯

People, how can you tolerate 35 fps? It's way too choppy for I expected it to be 🤯 It's the way god Carmack intended Doom to be played. Any additional frames are pure heresy.
But seriously tho, i just can't stand playing Doom with higher fps. Everything feels absurdely weird. Last year i was awarded with a low-value cupom from our benevolent Microsoft and with nothing that interesting to buy, i've just picked the Doom Unity port on XBONE and played through the whole wad catalog. And man.. what a endurance test. It was really hard to get used to - not only to the fixed higher fps but also to the higher resolution. I'm more than used in playing fps with a controller and i often play the 360 Doom port (probably my favorite console port along with the PS3 one) but classic Doom with higher framerate is definetely not for me.

MBF under DOS/DOSBox (640x400 hires I believe) or PrBoom+ / Doomsday under Windows.
I have no problem with the 35fps limit in DOS - for Windows it's probably 60FPS, because most of my monitors are 60Hz.
I don't use soundfonts.

Uncapped framerate is my first thing to disable in any port that implements it. The controls (mouse especially) just don't work the way they should when it is enambled.

Prboom-plus
windowed mode with 640x360 resolution. I use a program called Integerscaler to scale it up to full screen.
60FPS
I almost never save. I do like to play continuous but I revert to pistol start if I die.
i just use a regular SC-55 roland soundfont someone linked to a long time ago. I wouldn't know if it's the same as the ones other people use.
I pick different wads depending on what I'm in the mood for. Scythe 2 is a common go-to for me though.

1. Woof! I'm loving this source port so far because of its hardware-powered software aesthetics.
2. Widescreen. I don't like black unused space on my screen.
3. 60 fps. 35 is too choppy.
4. Pistol start. I have a problem that I try to save as much resources as possible for the next map, losing all fun of using them in the current map. Also it often makes maps way easier than intended by the mapper. I always play with saves. Losing too much progress angers me, it's definitely no fun for me.
5. SC-55
6. Ancient Aliens

1 prboom-plus for actually playing - choco/chocorenderlimits & O.G .exe for playtesting.
2 800 x 640 fullscreen
3 fps... don't know, can't see it in options (I think?)
4 Always pistol start, never save - always UV unless it's something stupid like HR
5 soundfont... windows midi, I guess. Should get a Roland font though.
6 These days, it's mostly btsx E2

Woof's autoload feature is so cool. It makes loading midi packs, widescreen assets, etc. very easy. You have to set everything up only once and you can completely forget about this and play your favorite wads with their own additional stuff. Nice.

5. Otherworldly chants and howling and vacuum cleaner noises at a reasonable volume in the background.
6. 1337.wad

Keep in mind, when people answer something really off the wall, it's probably a joke. Look up 1337.wad on youtube. This group, Testikill, even made a song about maps in it called Ball of Hell.

1. PRBoom+ for DBP playtesting, DSDA-Doom normally, GZDoom semi-regularly.
2. Widescreen
3. Whatever the default is (which I believe is uncapped?)
4. Generally continuous with start/end level saves, though I'm starting to just pistol start random levels more often these days.
5. I just use the default sound font.
6. Probably Eternal Doom

Doom Retro and ZDoom
4:3 more often than not
Uncapped more often than not (35 fps generally feels weird on ports that support 60)
Continuous without saves
Stock soundfont
Doom.wad
