How the fuck did we get here???? It's a long story. Just know that this isn't the first time the world has lost its collective sanity.

It's the same username, although I registered in 2019. Not sure what convinced me to come here, but it's probably seeing a lot of people banned and having no reason for it. I also had a dislike of monopolies for a long time, even before joining DW. About there not being a better place: Why not make one, then? If you can't run a server there are lots of free forum hosting websites, for example ProBoards, where DB is hosted. Also what's wrong with moving to a small forum? I mean this place being small is an appealing thing to some(it is to me) but that doesn't prevent people from joining, does it.

The internet is my outlet for all negative energy that accumulates in me. You should try to focus your negative energy in something that's more productive. If you say that you are a non-threatening person irl and that most men could beat you up, well, idk, sounds a bit pitiful to me. Hit the gym, maybe learn martial arts, join in a physically-demanding sport, or if you don't like groups, practice extreme sports which most tend to be lone-sports. The point is that there's no relation with being a ''buff, mean looking motherfucker'' and an asshole. I look like a criminal compared to the rest of my family, for example, yet I don't act like one or like an asshole. The way you phrase it makes it feel like you're a coward that actually vents out his frustrations on the internet by releasing all your fears in the form of shit attitude. Being behind a monitor doesn't give you any power or right to be an asshole. At most, you use it as an excuse or shield to hide away your inner-insecurities and lack of respect for the fellow man or woman. I also don't like being an asshole in real life, and also on the internet. Why should I be? Fuck, I have a lot of negativity and rage inside me because of real life issues, but instead of venting out like an idiot by shitting on other people on forums, I try to find better people that help me see a better view, grow in my passsion, create fun content that can release my extrangulated creativity and have just fun. Releasing your feelings bits by bits can work wonders. Feel cool, be cool.

Endless, Harsh post, but inspirational. Yeah sports and other activities that are centered around self-reliance are best. Other people can be a bottleneck for real-life action, which is what happened with my attempts at activism. By contrast, the success in ultramarathon depends mostly on one's own ability (I can't totally discount my friends' support and organizer's passion, though), thus when failing one has only oneself to blame, and the success feels very good. The prison remark was a joke on my part, actually. In case you thought what the fuck I was suggesting, it was not intended to be serious advice.

Agreed, I should Won't reply to the rest of the post because it's condescending bullshit, appreciate the attempt to be helpful though and I'm glad you found something that works for you. I likewise found something that works for me.

and mapping is the easiest kind of Doom modding Hell, no. Mapping is the hardest kind. Modding-wise, with graphics, sounds and gameplay you know where you're aiming, you just need a hell of a patience to finish its most painstaking part, sprite editing. But making levels? You really don't know how your map is going to look like and how it's going to progress, you need to be continuously creative and hope that the dreaded mapper's block doesn't shut you down.

Yeah, programming is not, generally, as creative an act as level design. There is a lot of straightforward logic unfolding in programming, at least when you formulated your goal (for example, wrote down the specificaiton of what is to be implemented). By contrast, mapping has like a lose goal that is defined by "it should be fun to play" which should be measured against the end product which itself is not defined in advance, and if it is a deathmatch map, then it is total nightmare since you can't even know if it's fun by playing it just by yourself. Basically, for programming to be comparable to mapping you should have a goal of creating like a one-shoe-suits-all programming language, where once again the end goal is defined not by some syntax but whether the syntax it ends up with is fun to write in, and figuring which syntax exactly does that is a part of a problem.

That is, in programming there is like an avalanche of descending to the final goal by logical reduction from the initial problem towards the solution defined in idealized terms, by contrast level design is like solving a sort of (let's call it) "hyper-differential" equation defined as MeasuringFunction(<final stage>) = good.

Do people absolutely unironically think the wokeworld of 2021 can hold a candle to doomworld of even 2016 (when I registered), let alone the 00s? You misstyped. Here, I fixed that. The fuck with rd having only half-brain which enables her to realize mockery custom titles are bad, but doesn't enable her to realize that opportunistic moderation is equally bad as well. This degradation seem to happen to nearly everyone who wasn't marked with warning points at some point. it would be very cool if users could bring up everything they don't like about Doomworld actions on Doomworld threads and petition staff to change their outlook. An impossible task to fulfill, unfortunately. If people backed out of DW already, this shit wouldn't have existed. But it does, because some people won't go to a better place, and some who want to do so still stay there because it's the only doom place where they have an account on, and they want to stay in touch with the good people there. Monopoly abuse. I, personally, reside on Russian Doom Community forum. This is my ground, at some point. and there is no tolerance toward shit that's going on with DW.

To c&p what I posted earlier," I actually think this is a good change, because now you won't have new members making 2000 posts in the "react to the profile picture above you to quickly increase the size of your e-peen" thread, or making short low effort posts." I changed mine to "Severed Member".

I think it's fucking cool, time will tell if there will be creative abuses or just pure retardation.

I'm not interested in participating in any drama so might as well come here from time to time to report on some of the interesting news i come across here and there. A while back i was trying to get a Heretic project started that preferably could be aimed for DSDA-Doom rather than GZDoom (which doesn't run well for me) or Eternity (which doesn't fully support Heretic yet), but sadly there wasn't any way to modify the game without relying on those two ports that i don't want to use for it, so i went to the DEHEXTRA thread on DW and asked if there was any interest in adapting it to also work with Heretic codepointers, or something else entirely that's still demo compatible and generally more compatible across non-advanced and advanced ports alike, and i was actually pretty happy with the response i got!! I know most people here probably don't care about Heretic, but hey! To anyone who does, this is probably the biggest news for Heretic in a very long time. I hope it can help popularize the game a bit more within the community once that gets worked on. EDIT: Yes, i know this is only "news", but i figured i should spread the word since not many people follow that thread.

Heretic lover here! Cool stuff mattfright, thanks for sharing and it's cool seeing you over here. Heretic doesn't get enough love. You'd think Wayfarer's Tome would have revitalized the Heretic community, but maps still come in through a drip feed. Hopefully that will change soon.

You'd think Wayfarer's Tome would have revitalized the Heretic community I feel like the Wayfarer's Tome only really addressed the issue of enemies feeling too tanky and weapons feeling too weak when untomed since the other tweaks are super minor to make enough of a change. I always felt like Heretic's beastiary lacked in diversity (at least in comparison to Doom's), which is what i really want a Heretic DEHEXTRA for... I feel like a combination of Wayfarer's Tome's gameplay changes and Faithless' items/enemies/weapons variation would be soooo much more fun (at least to me) than anything else currently out there. I also feel like making enemies/projectiles faster to achieve a middle term between Black Plague and Smitemeister would make combat muuuuch more engaging. One of the biggest slogs I've ever played, idk what y'all see in it I don't blame you, unmodified Heretic does feel incredibly slow... It's the whole reason i feel that modding it for most sourceports could make it far more enjoyable and "accessible" for the lack of a better term.

All 5 fans of Heretic will be delighted I'm sure One of the biggest slogs I've ever played, idk what y'all see in it Yeah, IMO Heretic has an abundance of content in it already with it's 6 episodes. Once you've played the first couple episodes you pretty much get the gist of it. The last couple episodes are basically plutonia in heretic form. My thoughts about it were similar to Doom 2016 when I played it. I'm glad i experienced it but I don't feel like I need more of it. Doom is just a better platform, as the guns and hellspawn in it already works effortlessly in maps that resemble real world locations, fantasy locations, different time periods, etc. Heretic is more thematically 'closed' than Doom is in that there isn't really a lot of room for innovation from a level design standpoint. At least not without coming up with an entirely new set of textures. Even then, there are limitations. I dont think you could make a an equally good AUGER;ZENITH in heretic even if we made 36 Heretic projects before it.
