I played doom today at the office at my new job for the first time for almost an hour. you ever play doom when youre not supposed to? I made most of my mods at work in my old position. I bring my personal laptop to work, so I can keep it up if I want to. I do a specialized form of IT now for specific software programs in my company, with a respectable salary. I have my own office in a very quite part of the building, and my boss is super cool and usually leaves to go to the gym. We're a department of two, and it is great, because we're treated like wizards with esoteric knowledge. Nevertheless, it doesn't get in the way of quality work. I've trained half of my company on new software in one on one Zoom seminars, and I handle all my tickets ASAP. That's what I love about my job, it is tangible, and people really appreciate the work I do for them. Problems get solved, the issue is over, and you move on to whatever else comes down the pike. Unlike when I used to be an office admin a while ago, where everyone treats you like servile-shit, and gives you stupid monotonous projects just to keep you busy, so their bosses don't bitch at them.

Now you just need to upgrade to "mapping for DooM while at work." ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I've done that recently actually. Sometimes you just have a good idea for a level, and you don't want to wait.

I made some co-workers playtest my map nearing closing hours. Doesn't really seem out of place in a video game studio.

in Feb 2018 I was in some educational camp. I used to go to robotics class and there I've downloaded from some anonymous file hosting and unzipped QZDoom with my fresh build of early Boggy Region on a laptop with Windows 8.1 (They could buy cheaper stationary PCs I think, cuz these laptops weren't going anywhere, but... alright. And I remember they had an odd amount of RAM like 3 or 6 gigs ddr3?). In the robotics class our goal was to create a car alarm, but we ended up with a box which sends messages to some phones (via WiFi?) and the real thing the box did was to measure weight via a piezo element (the only thing I remember I contributed was that I had come up with a simple division formulae). What was surreal to me in the beginning was that some that box couldn't compete with conventional alarm systems, so why should we bother? I didn't quite get it how that box had fitted under the seat in our mentor's car, but alright, it did something.
so, when either QZDoom crashed, or it was me not smoothly quitting the game, the mouse cursor on the first laptop disappeared. I tried to do some stuff that I saw my dad did when mouse disappears, but I got lost. I just moved on to another one. Cursor also disappeared there. The 3rd laptop survived this iirc

When I was young, I played Doom when I was supposed to do homework. Now I'm fucked.

Do you work from home? Now you just need to upgrade to "mapping for DooM while at work." I used to work from home, and i mapped and playtested for dbp pretty often then! i now work in an office/warehouse for an online clothing retailer. I do customer service. Its a job that was previously done by two people, but i convinced the owner i could do the work of 2 people for 1.33x the salary. we get a few hundred customer emails a day but in my first month i developed template responses for the common questions. Recently ive been automating a process of categorization which seeks out key words and phrases in the emails to sort the incoming email inbox by category, so i can just filter the messages and go through them one topic at a time and basically copy/paste the same template response for each. Theres some fringe cases where customers spell words wrong or their emails are too wordy that they dont get sorted correctly, so it needs tweaks. Im hoping by the end of the year ill have this categorization system so finely tuned that i can develop a script to respond to these emails automatically and spit out a short checklist of all the things i still need to do manually, like change shipping addresses, authorize refunds, change orders, change shipping carriers, etc. Then id be able to do 8 hours of work in about an hour and a half. The job was chaos when i started but step by step im getting closer to automating it so i get more free time to do what i LIKE to do like playing doom while getting paid for it! Fortunately this company isnt the type of company to be like "if you got time to lean, you got time to clean" that insist you need to keep busy even on stuff thats pointless so as long as i get the work done and my processes are efficient then we're all good.

Sounds like you have a pretty good gig. To be fair, I really have no room to complain about my job. But my department is a production environment, so metrics matter. But whenever I can (usually during some sort of non-productive "town hall rah rah" style meeting) I will pull up SLADE3 on my personal PC and draw some sectors.

I use ChatGPT a lot to handle emails, I copied and pasted your post and asked how AI could help reduce the work load: Here are some ways ChatGPT can assist you with your tasks: Refining Email Templates: ChatGPT can help you refine and expand your email templates to cover more variations and edge cases, ensuring that even emails with spelling errors or wordy content are correctly addressed. Improving Categorization System: ChatGPT can assist in developing more sophisticated keyword and phrase recognition algorithms, helping your categorization system become more accurate. It can suggest additional keywords or patterns to watch for based on the content of past emails. Automating Responses: Once your categorization system is finely tuned, ChatGPT can help you develop scripts to automate responses to the categorized emails. It can generate contextually appropriate replies based on the email's content and the corresponding template. Handling Fringe Cases: For those fringe cases that are not easily categorized or require a unique response, ChatGPT can suggest possible responses or actions to take, reducing the time you spend on these outliers. Creating Checklists for Manual Tasks: ChatGPT can help you design and implement scripts that generate checklists for tasks that need manual intervention, like changing shipping addresses, authorizing refunds, and modifying orders. This ensures nothing is overlooked. Efficiency and Free Time: By automating and streamlining your workflow, ChatGPT can help you achieve your goal of reducing your work time, allowing you more free time to enjoy activities like playing Doom while still meeting your job requirements. Overall, ChatGPT can be a valuable tool in enhancing your automation efforts, making your work more efficient, and freeing up your time for personal interests.

ChatGPT is great for giving high-levels for long-winded emails and email chains too.
I just copy and paste the chain and literally ask it "what the fuck are these people even asking me, and what do they want from my life?"

No, i don't get away with it, because i don't play games when "i'm not supposed to", even though i get some off-time at work and i can certainly play Doom or other games. I just don't do it. I'm not crazy obsessed with the game to not only play it in my free time at home, but also feel the need to play it at my job, where i can just socialize with my coworkers when there's nothing else to do. Now that i'm thinking about it, i don't even play or map all that much at home either, and in the alst 2 months, not at all. That's why anything i plan always takes ages, even if my initial ambition is to make it fast. There's just too many other things to do, i can't devote all my time to Doom, even if i want to (which i don't).

Tangra, so far i know three things about you. 1. you think this forum needs a different leader. 2. youll never participate in the dbps 3. you dont even really like doom anymore. Isnt this qualifying criteria for... pretty much anywhere other than here? I'm not forcing you to eat your vegetables, here. Do you want to make your own thread so you can talk about how much you dont like stuff or shall i do it for you?

Tangra, look mate, I haven't played Doom in a long while either. Doesn't mean I'll talk about it in a thread asking me to talk about playing the game. What kinda BS is that?
On-topic: Haven't played at work, but I played Doom a few times during online classes during the pandemic, maps that I already played in the past. I switched to games with less depth cause I almost got caught not answering questions twice when I was specifically asked. God bless the less-than-a-handful of students who fed the teachers answers all the time.

1. you think this forum needs a different leader - Not necesserily. I'd be happy if the current leader finds his balls. 2. youll never participate in the dbps - I'll never participate in a CP led by you, there's a difference. 3. you dont even really like doom anymore - Here we go again with your misinterpretations. I love Doom and always will, but like i said i'm not obssesed with it. There are things like burnout and other priorities in life that sometime stand in the way, i'm deffinitely not that pathetic to play it at my work place. At the moment i don't have time to spare for Doom. And there are also other video games, you know? So many good things, so little time. I think it's rather normal that i don't want to devote all my free time to that one 3-decades-old game, but of course your weirdo brain reads this and thinks that i must no longer like Doom. In conclusion, no, you still know nothing about me. @good-old the topic asks if i play Doom in places i'm not supposed to and getting away with it, to which my answer is "No", and i gave my reasons for it. I'm more than enough on-topic
