Red-XIII

Hello guys, I have been out of the loop for some time, but now I would like to play a bit again and hopefully speedrun something. However, it seems that the ports page of DSDA (https://dsdarchive.com/ports) is not updated to what I read here in the "source ports" thread. My heart always belonged to vanilla doom and prboom+, and based on what I read, prboom+ v2.6.66 is the latest version. Now, I really don't want to change unless it is strictly necessary, so: 1) Is prboom+ v2.6.66 a stable version that it's reliable? 2) If 1) is not verified, which "vanilla-like" port should I use?

Good lord, this is probably one of the greatest achievement I have ever seen! I know very well how evil map30 can be, let alone in a uv max single segment run. Congratulations tasturd! And for what it counts, I think the run is 100% valid. The player cannot account for these type of issues (luck based) in such runs.

Bought it and played it, and it was very much interesting, and not easy at all! Should be interesting to speedrun this, and I can't wait to see what Romero has in store for us! He really LOVES hitscanners, which are nightmare for those who play, well, nightmare.

Yes that's what I meant, I see no point at all in killing these type of arcviles.

Same thing applies for pl2 map 32, which replicates rq23. Go4it has the arc trapped that can be killed by crushers, but it is slow and pointless. Should it be killed? Ghost monsters yes, of course.

This is amazing! I just can't wait for him to play maps 11, 17, 29, and 32.

It is lovely to see that pretty much all the world cheered for us (Italy). On behalf of the italians, thank you!

I might be boring, but I gotta go with pl2.wad! If we talk only about wads similar (in a way) to doom2, I'd also say something like scythe or memento mori.

AT LAST! Episode 3, UV Speed in 35:24 Definitely one of my best achievements so far! 3524p2e3.zip

Map 30 UV Fast in 1:20 p230f120.zip

It happened again. This time 2 arc viles spawned. Together. ok...

Yes, I usually do like you said! @DooM Bear Never considered that, I'll try it! Thanks guys.

Hello everyone, this is a question mainly for episode speedrunners: how do you deal with frustration due to bad luck? I'm posting this in the heat of the moment, as I died (for the fourth time) on map30 of pl2, after trying episode 3 uv run. This time, it was because 2 pain elementals and 1 arc vile spawned before I even tried shooting Romero's head. Now, despite practice and everything, some things just cannot be predicted (hence, bad luck), and if they happen after 30 or 40 minutes, it is even worse. Sometimes this makes my motivation drop by a lot. If you had an experience like this, how did you deal with it?

The ultimate go2it challenge. A lot of fun to play! Plutonia Map 32, NM100, solo-net in 2:03 pn32s203.zip
