Really well don’t mockup. Top satire

Look at that tiny numstat, I’ll finish the review before the CI is even done

Just skimmed but seems like a decent idea. Not that I’ve knowingly run into issues parsing JSON too much

this but ack

No but you should acquire a friend or two so you can check in on eachother periodically. Yeah I’m a loner too and I know it’s a bother, but just do it. The benefits are many and well documented.

It’s just being pragmatic. I have a pact with a friend that we’ll adopt the others’ dog if something happens to us

His family’s darkest hour is my family’s wildest, most impossible dream.

Actually I don’t know many people who actually dream of that kind of wealth - just enough stability and security to be able to live modestly from a life of labour and in to retirement.

Yeah I’m pretty popular. At this rate I should just add a /wp-admin webpage - according to my logs it’s in very high demand!

It’s so cool

Valid question, but to my mind it counts because it’s retro style.

Just like you can have contemporary classical music.

The scene is truly eternal. I’ve dipped in and out of it myself over the decades. It’s so incredibly rich.

If you haven’t tried it I’d recommend checking out Doom Builder 2 and seeing how you like running around a room you just made. It’s addictive in a Minecraft-esque sort of way.

I haven’t made a new map in years and I was just scratching out a level idea in a notebook just this Friday. I guess it never leaves you

My answer to both would be Doom (1993).

They’re also getting increasingly more efficient at funneling profits to the top, rather to the greatest value producers: labourers. This is wage theft. Get it all the way to 100% and you have slavery.

Though important to note that slavery does not just meant you don’t get paid. Though I don’t think anyone needs a splainer on that.

Yeah, I saw that. See my edit. I’ve had a chance to play it and it is pretty good. Definitely not as good as the previous ports (I spotted some lighting glitches, artefacting, and mobs getting stuck on linedefs; dark rooms also do not look as “textural” as in previous ports – this is just what I spotted lazily playing through the first episode anyway).

But the audio options are fun, and it’s nice to have an excuse to play through the whole series again (actually, I just played through Doom 1 last week and was about halfway through Doom 2, when I got news of this port (thanks to this post!), so that’s why the old ports are so fresh in my mind). Also, the achievements look actually attainable rofl, for those who like to get that 100%.

My main takeaway is that the original Dooms owe much of their cultural relevance to work done by the community for free, under the open source ethos.

And then there’s the creative work done using those tools: thousands of hours worth of megawads, total conversions, one offs, and weird little experiments - that have been responsible for keeping Doom actually relevant.

For decades, nothing new happened with Doom 1, 2, or 64, that wasn’t authored by us, and for free. The retro dooms weren’t exactly abandonware, but for all intents and purposes the franchise has been community run. Yeah you buy the official IWADs from their license holders, but that was the extent of it.

Yes they have the legal right to charge for this work, but like, it’s not the coolest move given all the history.

EDIT oh wait I read on a bit - it’s free? That changes things. Definitely wish it was more open, but at least it’s not a cash grab

Imposter Syndrome, I choose you!!

More like they’re not allowed to rob

Okay maybe robbed a bit at the start

Haha Xit
