Doom community happenings

btw I must absolutely thank valkiriforce for his Let's Listen series of youtube videos for PWAD soundtracks. Way more easy to pick through then as one single, contiguous upload and I've listened to the Memento Mori and Memento Mori II soundtracks a ton while writing over the past month or so.

Yeah I was sort of interested in that. I wonder if we'll eventually be able to make custom textures.

Holy crap I wish I knew about this when I announced Mutiny. That looks exactly like the kind of project I would have wanted to steal ideas from be inspired by

Mutiny was wicked cool. I'm sure that something drawing from HYENA would be just as neat.

Nine Inch Heels never leaves a quoted post behind.

the discussion of 'genuine' difficulty is ridiculous. Getting up a flight of stairs is more difficult than it is to someone who can walk. It's always going to apply differently to different people. All that really matters in Doom is fun.

1+ like to 40oz for that post.

This whole discussion would have that "objective" leverage (what a lot of people seek) of what is "truly difficult" if we had a wad-solving AI who would grade maps accordingly, would do some quicc maffs and summon up a score or percentage based on variables like "total time", "damage dealt", "damage received", stuff like that. The entire discussion as of right now is 100% a subjective matter.

Can we focus on the artistical aspect of Dooming now? :3

we've had the technology to add slopes to doom for YEARS. It's frankly unacceptable that we still don't have ACCESSIBLE iwads in <current year>. How many wheelchair users have been DENIED THEIR BASIC HUMAN RIGHT TO DOOM because all those staircases in E1M1 are inaccessible to the disabled?

I realize that meddling with Romero's original design is considered haram: I disagree, the very license Doom operates on means that adding ELEVATORS and WHEELCHAIR RAMPS and GENDER NEUTRAL BATHROOMS is actually against the law, meaning Doom is actually incredibly bigoted and you are also a massive bigot for playing it.

I'm surprised that bs discussion is still going.

I do expect at least a few more replies before it's over. It was a good show.

I don't even know why I got involved in that when no one responds to my posts anyways.

Also there's a project going around that isn't a fucking project when no one does anything. There are funny jokes, and then there's just shit like this.

You mean Grain of Salt's Nap thing?

In that case, it's probably best to take the advice from his own name when looking at it . Not funny indeed.

Had to reread it again, haha look at all the rustled people after bonnie's replies.

I think someone should invite poor bonnie guy here, before dw wild animals will eat him up. I just checked up that "nap-map project" thread.
