Weirdest thing to me is how are young kids (zoomers) still getting into Doom and Doom II

Zoomer here, tried Doom 1 and 2, liked it, tried 2016 and Eternal, sucked at it, went back to 1 and 2.

 

I'd be lying however if I said the mods didn't help me stick to OG Doom.

REALLY wide, like, 15-50+

Dunno honestly.

religious beliefs

Christian, because nothing is more Christian than killing Hellspawn /s

what ethnic group

well Doomguy is (presumably) white so the player would also have to be white. If a black person played as Doomguy, that would be inaccurate! /s

what do they wear

Standard UAC Marine armor.

what is their sexuality

At least Bi. I mean, have you SEEN Doomguy's cake?

what are their hobbies besides playing and modding DooM?

Presumably, talking about DooM. That's what Doomworld is for.

The average Doomworlder is about 30, slightly left of center, and somewhat disconnected from notions of gender.

 

Of course, this is the average -- as in, it's the middle point between two ends of a spectrum. Most people are on either side of that.

// Core GamePlay criteria met on obsolete hardware even in the year 2000... with open source code, in native C (even though its Linux Based Source {I'm one of those Assholes})... move fast, FPS to the Maximum.. Simple or Convoluted Combat puzzles with known restrictions on physics, monster durability, RNJesus,  etc. and at the end of it all... heavy metal music and the triumphe of good over evil... with science fiction and fanservice from 20-year olds living the life of pioneers way back in the yonder of the memory banks...  the stuff of legends; in Soviet Union they give you Medals for this.. Medals Boris...

Two ends of spectrum:

30 year old heterosexual christian man

Or

15 year old *insert any sexuality here* atheist femboy

When most people are answering this thread, they are usually describing who the average Doomworld user is (i.e. what characteristics do they possess?)

 

But the OP clearly asks 'How' is the average DW user.

 

Right now, I'm tired.

Speaking for myself, I'm sick with a sore throat today (had to call in sick for work as my job requires me to be active on the phone).

Could use a tantric massage aswell.

Okay yeah I'm guilty of this myself actually, but it's actually due to my upbringing (I was poor for one) so I'm more or less conditioned to go hours of a day before my appetite wakes up. I'm rarely starving out the gate when I wake up.

That sounds worrisome and not healthy at all. Take care of yourself.
