  1. Congrats on the release! I need to get to playing the more recent Cubic Worlds maps, I loved the ones I did play.
  2. Tragic and awful, I'm sorry.
  3. A_SkullAttack puts the monster into "skullfly" mode, which you can't forcibly revert. If you avoid sending it back to A_Chase, it shouldn't crash, and the skullfly mode will eventually switch off and return it to its spawn state. This of course comes with its own limitations and oddities, but you might be able to work with them.
  4. My latest soundtrack work has been released! These songs were written for the visual novel Heart of the Woods. The music is wintry and atmospheric with a focus on strings, piano, and acoustic guitar. My contributions make up the OST "Snowfall".

  5. IT LIVES

     

     

    I put this together over the past couple months. It's the soundtrack to Sol Hemochroma, and also a standalone EP for your listening pleasure! Lots of dreamy guitars on this one.

    Grab it from Bandcamp: https://esselfortium.bandcamp.com/album/sol-hemochroma-ost-piaculum-arcana

  6. Here's a new song by me!

      Solid transitions between major-key and minor-key feels with just a few different chords. The electric guitars with the gentle attack almost sound like a warm synthesizer pad at times, and all these different textures blend together very soothingly. Your mixing is second-to-none as always, all the layers here are incredibly clean-sounding. Fab work. ♥

      Why is this named "Restless One"? It sounds relaxing to me.

      For me, it sounds nostalgic, but that's just me.

      It's a character theme for a very tired girl.

       

      Thanks for the kind words, everyone :)

      I wrote an album's worth of new music for this game. It's coming out for Humble subscribers next month, and later this year to everyone else. It's a cyberpunk adventure and it's good

      Oh wow, I've only just hit the initial break in Funeral Benefits and I'm already in love. Customer Service Beam felt like a deleted scene from Local Hero, which is some very high praise indeed. This is EXCELLENT stuff. I'd listen to hours of this, easy.

  10. Just successfully upgraded my early-2015 hackintosh from Mac OS 10.10 to 10.12 :)

     

    Hackintosh stuff can get pretty tricky and technical due to the nature of running an OS on unsupported hardware, but this upgrade actually went more smoothly than I expected. I planned for the worst and was expecting ethernet or USB to die or something, but all I've had to do is run a script to get audio working again and it seems pretty solid so far. Yay.

      @printz Wow, that site makes it sound like you shouldn't buy anything from Apple.

      I kinda want to try the hackintosh route sometime. OS X is the most comfortable OS for me, but macintosh hardware is so expensive. On the other hand "tricky and technical" sounds like something I should stay far away from.

    4. esselfortium

      @Grain of Salt It can be a bit of an adventure for sure, and probably isn't for the faint of heart, but I've also found it really rewarding. There are recommended parts lists online, which help a lot by ensuring compatibility and dramatically increasing the likelihood of finding forum threads where other people with the same or similar hardware have already solved the same problems you're having. When I built mine a couple years ago, I strictly followed the recommended lists, and as a result it's been pretty easy to find help when I run into problems.

       

      A few months ago I built a hackintosh for my father, straying away from the recommended lists so I could make it more affordable, and ended up running into problems with the built-in audio (so he's been using USB speakers) and certain USB ports not working (so he's been using a hub). It's worked well otherwise, and I might give fixing those remaining issues another try this weekend since I'm feeling motivated and capable after yesterday's success. We'll see how long that feeling lasts after another session of trial and error though, lol :p

  12. New avatar is from a silly image of Kotori from Rewrite. I had been thinking of using a snarky Akane instead but here we are. Seele is probably the only person here who'll recognize any of this, but whatever. I'll probably manage to harangue Tarnsman into reading Rewrite sooner or later, at least.

     

    Rewrite is a visual novel and it's a hell of a journey -- its scope is massive and it hits on a lot of the things I loved about Madoka and Evangelion. (The anime adaptation is an awful disaster, avoid.)

    3gatsu no Lion is getting another season! As a slow-burn character drama it seemed like the sort of show that wouldn't be a big enough hit to justify making more of, so this announcement is a very nice surprise. The adaptation so far has been fantastic, and I've heard lots of praise for the later parts of the manga.

      can you give me a little primer on what it is?

       

      im not an anime person usually

      It's an introspective drama about a competitive shogi player who struggles with depression. It's got some great character work and lots of abstract/playful visual direction.

      The absence of blogs has really dampened the quality Doomworld shitposting. It really is a shame. Honestly I don't know if I can live without Hellbent and Goatlord's stream of consciousness threads.

       

      Who else will dare to question things like whether or not it's okay to fall asleep while driving!?

      Every time someone asks for a BTSX release a magical fairy flies into one of the maps and deletes 20% of the linedefs, delaying the release further.

  18. Hi folks! This is honestly a pretty crummy subject to have to talk about in a big public forum post, but it's long overdue that I get this off my chest, so I'll make this quick and get it over with:

    I'm a transgender woman and I'm in the process of undergoing HRT. This is a really exciting and important thing for me, and the past year and a half of my life has already been way better for it. It also isn't a decision that was made lightly -- on the contrary, it's been the scariest and most difficult thing I've ever had to do in my life.

    Those of you who already know have been tremendously supportive beyond my wildest expectations, and I feel extremely fortunate to have made such amazing friends here. The Doom community is a pretty awesome place. With your help and reassurance, this post was way less stressful to make, so thank you!

    To everyone else who's just hearing about this now, I'm not going to be a different person than you've known on the forums since forever. This is who I've always been, something I was internally grappling with even before I registered here on Doomworld a long as heck time ago. So my posting will still be as lousy as you've come to expect, etc, etc.

    Given the problems that have been had with some other threads in recent memory, I'm just going to remind everyone that this is a personal blog thread and not a gender politics debate. With that said, I realize that this is a subject that's unfamiliar to a lot of people, so questions are welcome, just please be respectful. Thanks!
