people can find a sub 6 hour 100% of metroid prime on youtube pretty easily if they're interested. Of course we can, but those ones just aren't you <3 youtube became the place everyone puts all their game footage about a decade after i mailed those off. speaking of tapes most of us haven't actually had a vcr for over a decade now, heh. Only reason I have a VCR is because it was part of hybrid DVD player I got back in 2004. Oddly enough, the DVD part broke long before the VCR despite similar amounts of usage. But I've only ever watched DVDs on the computer for the last decade, so that's largely irrelevant. And I've barely ever watched LPs at all, they just make me want to play a game after like 2 minutes. Whether it's the one in the LP, I couldn't say. Exception for story-based games, I suppose. If they're heavy enough on story, and there's not some blithering gronkenputz rambling over the gameplay footage, it can be similar to watching a movie. I ended up watching a nice playthrough of The Shore last month. I don't think I could be bothered to play the game, but it was interesting to watch the events and scenery unfold. That's about as far as I'll take it though. if you tell me you're still using windows xp i'm not sure how i could respond to that, other than bewilderment at it's weakness compared to the phone i'm typing this reply on during my lunch break. Of course, what else is there for me to use for maximum hardware efficiency? Remember, you fapped to my APE encode times. Well, guess what's still running as good as it always has? tbh I was considering installing 7 at this point, but need to get a new C: drive and a copy of 7 for that. Not sure what to get or where to get it, but it really doesn't matter since every time I finally have the money, I have to spend it on something else that comes up instead. also didn't skillsaw just release a big episode for eternity? so at least one more person uses it than winxp. Yes he did, and when I start catching up on mapsets, it's going to be the first thing I play. I'm hoping he didn't use all the tricks I developed on my own, but knowing his previous work, that's probably in vain. 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. [...] 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. "Advantages" vary depending what you're looking for. I don't analyze ports as "best overall," but rather "best for what purpose?" So for me, I have a specific style of mapping, and certain design goals that I want to accomplish. So then I look at what port has what features, and try to find the best fit for my purposes. Eternity has nearly everything I want, and almost nothing I don't. That makes it the obvious choice for me. Now if somebody tells me they want to use 3D models, colored lighting, and enough scripting to redesign the entire game interface, then I'll tell them to use GZDoom. No point trying to force somebody with those goals into Eternity mapping; they just don't fit. But for me, I suppose if I had to give one reason above all others, it would be the portal system. That thing entirely changed the way I approach mapping. Honestly, it's such a fundamentally different mindset, I can't imagine going back to the way I designed before. Once I learned it, it began informing all my design decisions, and now it's just a core element of my mapping process that I can't go without. I don't even always do excessive or "showy" stuff - sometimes a simple chamber or passageway in an otherwise impossible 2.5D location is enough. Sure, there's a few instances where a basic ZDoom 3D floor would be nice, but that's still easy enough to do "the hard way" given everything else that portals offer. 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. It has an option to enable something called GL2D, but it's effectively software rendering in the end. what it doesn't have is devs who care much about the user/mappers experience. For example, people have been complaining about the mouse code for ages, including eg. to me on Discord about 18 months ago, which is apparently a fixed problem: Opposite experience for me, but I can't imagine using a mouse in Doom so that much has never been an issue. Smaller userbase has usually meant faster response time from devs, and I've routinely seen reports or features get addressed and posted to new devbuilds within days, sometimes even hours. Tends to be a Discord thing though, not a forum thing. However, it's true that slope clipping has been lagging. It's one of two primary WIP things I'd like to see finished, even though I personally use slopes quite sparingly. 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!! Oh nice, I can't believe I missed that. All the more reason to get the WADs & Mods Development forum prepped and published, I suppose. I'll look through the resources and check out the Discord in a couple days, but I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have time or energy to join. I might be able to give some tech support if nothing else. Also, which project? I have 3

As far as I can remember, my issues with mouse in various source ports are fixed by disabling uncapped framerate. Why does that shit exist and is enabled by default, I don't know.
The Eternity does have a problem with matching keys mapped to the current layout, meaning that if I have layout set to Russian, I can't exit by pressing "Y" because what I press is not "Y" from Eternity's perspective, but Russian "Н" character. So I have to switch locale first by locale switching key, and then only "Y" will be recognized as "Y". Other ports don't trigger that problem even if I try manually switching locale while in game, whereas Eternity somehow launches with Russian locale.
Granted, didn't update my Eternity for ages (April 7 2019 build).

Of course, what else is there for me to use for maximum hardware efficiency? Remember, you fapped to my APE encode times. Well, guess what's still running as good as it always has? I actually still have some apes I haven't bothered to convert to flac but the majority of my 1.5tb lossless library is flac. Of which I encode 8 at a time at well over a 1000x playback speed, unless I have them on my m.2 in which I can actually encode 16 of them at a time. My limiting factor is actually hdd speed. I would consider using only one of my 16 cores and only using 1/8th of my ram to, not, be maximally hardware efficient tbh. tbh I was considering installing 7 at this point, but need to get a new C: drive and a copy of 7 for that. Not sure what to get or where to get it, but it really doesn't matter since every time I finally have the money, I have to spend it on something else that comes up instead. I would personally advise against migrating to an operating system that stopped receiving security updates over a year and a half ago. I bit the bullet and just stashed $40 a paycheck until I had enough to sink into a new system with a 2070 super for doom 5, about a month before the original launch date. The best time to stash new pc cash every week is a year ago, the next best time is to start as soon as possible so that year passes. When the miserable experience wasn't crashing due to the shitty launch condition it did run smooth as glass on my 165hz 1440p monitor, however to be honest, this 2070 super has spent 25x as much time running gzdoom. I beat that shit third day on nightmare and didn't touch it for a year. I don't even think it's 'hard', honestly, I just find it ceaselessly nitpicky and irritating. thank god they delayed it half a year, they should have delayed it half a year and week because christ on a crutch. not as bad as rage on an amd card, but you'd have to fucking pay me to go through either of those jive ass lemons again. the steam deck would be a staggering, life altering upgrade for you, honestly. before you even ask about a dvdrom you can get one for $50 that's usb on amazon, i did because a lot of towers don't even have bays for them anymore, whatever. it don't matter. none of this matters. people just get an octocore phone with 12gb of ram and a tb of space and subscribe to spotify, thought process terminated onto shit that matters. animals.

But that would make you an evil software P1R4T3. The funny thing? Vista, of all OSes, can install those ESU updates (for Server 2008 SP2) manually, without any hacks, because apparently the code that checks for ESU license eligibility was never ported to Vista. But I cannot use Vista anymore on a primary PC, because its SW compatibility has been severely crippled with Microsoft and all major SW vendors dropping support.

Windows 7 is a good OS, still quite damn usable. I don't get why people's shit over no security updates, I've been using my 7 PC for more than a year after support ended. No problems other than having to switch my hard drive, but that's expected from a 7+ years old hard drive. If you aren't into recency bias and always going with the majority 7 isn't bad. Antiviruses exist.

Antiviruses exist. Yeah I really liked Win7, I used it the entire time it was their main product and I ignored 8. However I really want to use my 2gb/s m.2 drive as my boot drive and Win7 doesn't like those as-is. I could probably fiddle with it and trick it into working, but, I also like running DX12 games in DX12, which again, I could probably fiddle with it and trick it into working, but I could also just, not fiddle with it at all. It's not like Win10 ever gave me any shit, neither of them gave me a bluescreen or had software incompatibilities. I'm not big into recency bias but I'm also not averse to change.

It'd be great to have you aboard! In any case, the deadline is about 6 months (so Q1 2022), but i'm considering extending it a bit because so many people who wanted to join are currently busy with one project or another, too Also, which project? I have 3 Uhhh... I think it was called Millennium

As of a now deleted split thread, not anymore! On the bright side, at least there's some transparency whether someone is banned or not again.

A recollection from someone who paid almost zero attention: In this thread about the Home Improvement reboot, kyka says something along the lines of how he likes it doesn't have any minority-empowering, white-shaming, SJW shit (not those exact words but close.) He then proceeds to be gangbanged by the usual suspects (read: dew) asking him what he meant by that post. A few walls of texts later, kyka apologizes, but I guess it wasn't good enough of an apology and now he's out. I should start archiving these things as they happen because i'm pretty terrible at remembering things.

This is why I never attempt to get back into communities that I've been ostracised/banned from. If I'm unwelcome there then there's nothing I can do and no amount I that I can change that would make me welcome there again. Poor Kyka didn't seem to get that.

I mean it's not your fault that they choose to get offended at everything. Imagine apologizing because of something that you didn't do wrong. I never attempt to get back into communities I'm banned from either. I actually think being unwelcome in some communities is good. It helps you identify them as bad ones and not get into them much, spending time on better communities.

They're not offended. They wanted a reason to get him and 'getting' people for their politics is the weapon they use. They don't care about people getting offended. They never did. They don't like Kyka to begin with but they won't say that because the facade is that they're the good, accepting, happy, non-toxic community, and the things they do to fuck people over are justified.

Well, Brutal Doom is really popular, and HDoom might have received a cacoward, I guess? Makes sense a lot of people tried the two together.

Also, cacowards are merely aimed at recognition of outstanding wads, kinda "this wad is not like the rest". Fun or enjoyable gameplay NOT implied. I didn't enjoy Total Chaos or REKKR - sure the effort that went into making them was great, but enjoyable gameplay is just isn't there for me. Your mileage may vary, ditto with the rest of cacowards. Also, since the staff making the cacowards intersects with the DW mod staff, keep in mind that there are a lot of lunatics making reviews and their picks are in no way representative of the mentally healthy human population. I would pick three first levels of Tangerine Nightmare over the entire cacowards where Total Chaos got featured. In the past, dewscubasteve gave deathmatch cacoward to Crucified Dreams, which no one in multiplayer community would actually play IIRC. Now he says that he knows better, but practically wise, expect similar blunders with any cacoward nominee from any staff member. It's not a staff member's fault as a person per se, it's a mentality of someone reviewing something they didn't play through in intended setting to the end of it, and I'm sure a lot of those reviews are written without full completion or testing for failures. Thus, not really reasonable suggestion for someone looking for enjoyable evenings days and days onwards (and sometimes, like in the case of REKKR and Total Chaos, not even half an hour of joy). Shrewd the insider's mentality - just how good this would play by itself, without taking any of technical sopphistry into account? The problem is with Doom, we must have drilled ourselves in mentality of appreciating the technical side of things, so it's hard for visitor effect to kick in. Your random visitor knows nothing about Doom! His opinion is therefore discredited. And then we have truly autistic picks for cacowards, for the pleasure of only their creator (notoriety, recognition) and their reviewer (feeling of being influential). Belarus' is the lesson of how the deception of few sways hold over the majority - thanks COVID-19 it got leaky so mere mortals now can learn of it. EDIT: was informed by scubasteve himself (in this thread on some other page) that it was he who did give the cacoward to Crucified Dreams. The post had to be amended as the result.

To bridge the last two paragraphs - no, defective cacowards is not, for the most part, the result of conspiracy, although plausible they might become politized or have been already in some cases. But, with hall of reverbating voices on DW, and most people not really using alternate avenues for voicing dissent with DW actions, our perception of how really much people are in agreement with cacowards picks may be very distorted.
I'm sure there are many honest followers of REKKR, not sure about Total Chaos (since it broke hard for me whereas with REKKR aesthetics are not just my cup of tea), but there can be new blunders like Crucified Dreams, hell even Brutal Doom's popularity might have changed, I admit. With newer versions of Brutal Doom, for example, I don't like flies flying and buzzing around rotting corpses, this is where realism stops being funny and becomes annoying. I might think of making a custom version of Brutal Doom for myself one day, dropping stuff I don't need/want.

mattfright, yeah, but betrayal is not yet the whole thing. You missed the "deflecting" part of it. Was there intention to deceive us with "those lolcows on DW" rhetoric into thinking he is on our side when he is not? Or is it swinging as the wind changes direction?

Even then it's not the whole thing. Why side with one camp over another? It's not like the projects are mutually exclusive, do DBP one month, do DBK another month, or even both if you are that productive, there is no restrictions on who can join the DBP and I hope there is none vice versa.

Also, I found the topic that was used as deflection. I've noticed one guy who sometimes visits here made a really stupid comment there: Lol cunt, it's your comment that serves no purpose. Like fuck I care about this particular worthless opinion of yours and your generic ability to predict/justify fucked up actions because of a fucking Stockholm syndrome you are affected with, or maybe even innate cowardice. As for the thread, it did serve the purpose of a topic starter to stay the least, also a few people choose to share their opinions of varying worthlessness/notability. Ah, and some guy also made use of its contents for deflection, which prompted me to go to DW and read it, and I don't go to DW anymore unless shit happens there.
Fuck all DW cunts who asked or said that thread be locked, I think your behavior is pathetic, like if you were some monkeys in "learned helplessness" research experiment. A generation that never directly experienced the electric shock when going near a gate but that would hiss at any newcomer approaching that. Fuck off into the grinder, let's solve the Earth overpopulation problem.
P.S. Also I think predisposition towards cowardice/obedience/grassing up is hereditary, so those people are literal untermensch, revealed by their behavior. Don't dare to bring the argument "they are doomers" cause DW staff are doomers too, you see it does not fly as a defense when one acts fucked up.
