Doom community happenings

woke is the widely accepted nomenclature for a half dozen incoherent semi-related pathologies that have metastasized from a scam into a cult. part of their gimmick is the intentional obfuscation of words and meaning so the accurate labels are denied or redefined anyway, so they get painted with the same brush. wisdom is smiling at the irony of their failure to even redefine reality for themselves let alone others. n_n

i figured the only way people would actually believe if it was me would be that i would have to make at least one schizopost unprompted. it's fair that people don't know my reputation the same way i have no idea who's who in the doom community post-2003 or so. i talked to dashevil about 7 or 8 years ago but really i've only kept in touch with like 4 people. i still talk to kat and freontrip every day, actually.

i have a tendency to repeatedly throw molotov cocktails for no goddamn reason why is why i made the habit of just making new emails and accounts for doom participation then vanishing again. it's fucking weird but i've seen my posts show up on /vr/ 20 years later, unsure exactly how to feel about that. i assume that i really don't know anyone anymore because none of us are the same people we were 5 years ago, let alone 10, let alone 20, hell i might be three different people in the same hour depending on which pills i'm chewing.

Hello dn! Hello all! Yes I have arrived. Send me thy printed word ya crass dunkard!

good thank you, with that reference acknowledged i can change over to an upside down hugo sign instead.

Based schizoposter. @vigilantdoomer learn from this guy.

Haven't heard of you (I understand I was a sperm cell when you were active in the community lol) but welcome, I always like seeing eloquent opinionated boomers here.

Yeah, that's a really great news!

Usually a spaztika is done by some scholar who thinks it'll be funny, or who's trying to get on the news, but unfortunately doesn't have two braincells to rub together and they never figured out how to draw one. Nazis are typically barely cogent enough to wipe themselves but the one thing I expect them to be capable of is having drawn a couple of swastikas before.

I'm probably going to have toe elaborate on Hugodoom a bit, at some point. I don't really have the time to get into it at this moment because that's going to take some effort, also, I've got a few dozen half started ideas I sorta want to dig into and maybe try reviving here, because why the fuck not. The important thing isn't the damage Hugo has done. The important thing is the damage he has yet to do. Aren't you fucking hyped for Quake's 2023 reboot, featuring LAZER AXES and MECHA GUNDAM LOVECRAFT PUNCHBOTS and A HUNDRED THOUSAND BABBLING WORDS NONSTOP that repeatedly contradict each other? When I think of Quake I definitely think of a four hour video of Hugo curled into a ball sucking his own mushroom cap. Fuck ambient, nonstop dubstep featuring the lead instrument being a Spectrum ZX ran through five fuzzy pussy guitar pedals, because why the fuck not, you've gotten so much praise already for just shitting on the centerpiece rug thus far.

It tied the room together, God dammit.


Hopefully slightly fewer drone strikes than a typical muslim wedding.


You've definitely still got a way with words.

Since I keep all of my various accounts pretty separated there's limitations on exactly how historical I'm willing to be. After a decade of going after insane, violent women I just an epiphany one morning and said, 'Your pussy isn't worth your mouth, keep the PS2 the kids like it, whatever.', turned off my phone, and just focused instead on watching my mom die horrifically from stage 4 cancer. That took a year, which I spent drinking a bit over half a gallon of liquor a week. Almost a year after she was buried I realized I probably still shouldn't be drinking half a handle of 100 proof a night so I just stopped, for no reason before there was any problems, and now I only get drunk 2-4 times a year randomly. The last decade I've turned down 4 easy lays because I'm just fucking done with people. A great lay is honestly not worth having to pay for it with a few hours of conversation, it's so fucking exhausting to have to speak to people like they're 10 years old, frightened and confused by even the alliterations I would have made as a teenager.

My patience is like a gnarled, burned out matchstick. I couldn't make it through the fuckin tutorial of ruiner.

I passed six separate background checks and I've been in the control room of a nuclear plant ~30 times. Pretty remarkable considering I just stopped going to my brain person entirely and totally quit all the pills, because fuck it, maybe it's better to be crazy than to sit there and slowly grow like a plant. Guess they were too busy trying to entrap retards into buying bombs. I've installed and repaired floors, I've sprayed pesticide, I've driven a carpet van, I threw a crack addict out of a gas station, I turned down a job that would pay more than twice what I make now because I'm fucking done being a supervisor and I don't fucking care about anyone's bullshit lives. One job I lost because I called the boss a belligerent, lazy dipshit who should try working for once in his life, and got everyone else to laugh at how pathetic of a person he is on my way out the door.

I have too many anecdotes.

So, after being 2 hours into cleaning the carpet at a bank with my boss, we step outside, cut the van, and I start having a smoke. Suddenly there's a manlet cop aiming a pistol at my face, and I smiled at him and asked, "Can I help you?"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?!"

"The guys in carpet cleaner uniforms? In a carpet cleaner van? With carpet cleaning equipment going through the door to a wet carpet? Obviously I'm here to fix the refrigerator, dipshit, what the fuck do you think I'm doing here?"

This led to my boss talking with the other cop and getting the work orders, and doing 10 minutes of phone tag, until the lady who shit her pants when she saw a carpet van remembered she ordered a carpet cleaning. The entire time I'm scrolling through a wall of gigantic hi-res tits on my phone, and every time I saw a nice set, I spun the phone around and showed them to the manlet cop, who was still just squatted down in a dragnet pose, waving a glock at my face with trembling hands. Once it was all sorted and they started to leave I called my boss and hit speakerphone. He answered immediately with, "Hey what's happening?"

My response to him right in front of the cop, "Hi Mike I just had a dickless imbecile wave a pistol at me for 15 minutes, my workday is over, I'll talk to you tomorrow." I approached the other dude cop and asked, "Excuse me, geniuses, I'm not exactly down with the crimes but I've heard the phrase casing a bank. Is it called casing a bank when you're parked a the fucking front door for three hours in a uniform and work vehicle with a five foot logo on it?"

"No that's not what that means."

"Okay good to know, thanks. Have a nice day Barbara."

They left, we gathered our shit, set the alarm wordlessly, left, and the first thing I said as I lit a cigarette on the drive back was, "Could you fucking imagine living life like that, completely dickless?" and my boss almost pissed himself laughing.

Honestly, at this point, I probably should take some.

But, looking down the forum index, it seems people here aren't too into Eternity, and since that's the one and only engine I map for anymore, I'm not sure it would be a good fit.

Also hey.

Nah, I'm not into trashing thread displays and ruining search functionality.

Oh you don't know the half of it.

His DW history was so extravagantly legendary that Zaldron and I were inexorably compelled to start an official deadnail fan club (not an official Deadnail fan club) to archive it all.

But then he found the site before we finished it, so we just dropped it.

I might still have the text laying around somewhere though...

Yeah well, I don't care about inter-site drama or off-topic sideshows, I just want the most Doom content and the most discussion with people who are into it.

Not that I ever have the time for what I want, but such is life these days.

Oh that reminds me, I made it through a bit more of those Metroid videos you sent. I'm about to the end of the first one now. Should move on to the second one in a year or two, and probably finish it by the end of the decade. I've still got the address to pass them on to when I'm done.

Dash randomly messaged me about 2 years ago with an idea for a new prank WAD, but disappeared just as quickly, so... I guess he's doing fine?

I'm still as stable in my instability as I've ever been, but I guess that's the benefits of chewing vitamins rather than pills.

Yon usicus - forsooth and hark everwhence!

Also apologies, for I'm afraid I'm still using 2.5d after all these years.

Your life continues to be more intriguing than any fiction I read.

Question from the Americans, and probably the rest of the academic world: A3 is still an A, right?

Anyway, no big blurb from me, I'll just say things have improved to the point that life's reached a perfect half-good half-shit balance.

Glad to hear you're generally somewhat happy-ish.

Also I'm interested in the book you edited, do let me know when it's out.

There was interest in finding out what Eternity can do better than other source ports - better as in mapping speed, representing complexity in-game by simple map actions in editor or whatever - but there wasn't a person who was capable of answering it. For example, we have Lobo who can tell us this about Edge engine: that a lot of effects, like sliding doors, true deepwater and so on is implemented via simple actions, new custom actions can be added by a text definition, etc. So you don't have to do polyobjects in map editor to have 3D effects in Edge, and the format is the same as basic Doom 2.

If you can spare some time to explain the advantages of using an Eternity port, there will become more users of it here, because it definitely seems like there is something it does better else it wouldn't be in the making. By the way, is it a software port (not using hardware acceleration?) Cause my hardware is old, and effecient software implementation of 3D may be an advantage for people like me.

hey Doomkid that's a really good youtube channel you've put together. for a while i've been making myself mix cds of midis for my car rendering them both with dmxopl3 and the best 8mbgmsfx.sf2, mixed to about equal volume. i've found that the fm covers up the low fidelity of the best baseline sc-55-alike, whereas that sf2 does manage to mask any shrill or flat moments out of the fm and generally makes it more normie palatable. i really like how they sound combined. here's 5 examples real quick.

thought you might find double barreled midi interesting.

I'm certainly willing to help change that if it's the case, given that i even started my own Eternity community project (which i might create a post here on the Doomer Boards if even a single person is interested, by the way!). Also i remember hearing about your project from Misty iirc, can't wait to see what it's like and play it eventually!!
