"Morituri Te Salutant", a Roman-themed single map. Been really good fun working out the visuals and fights for this one. Hopefully be ready for consumption in the next month. :)- 9895 replies

feeling like a lot of folks are fairweather
EduardoAndFriends replied to TheShep's topic in Everything Else
Personally for my tastes, I don't watch Twitch streams except very rare occasions. I'm in the same boat as ol' mate Clippy - I can only handle so many platforms lol. So I don't really have anything special to add in regards to Twitch, sorry mate. In terms of feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, or unappreciated, this is a very common thing and I totally sympathise. I'd say any content creator feels this way ... even the big boys and girls of Doom would have videos or streams that don't perform as well as other ones and think they suck and folks are ignoring them. I'm sure of it. Unless you are someone who can hide comfortably in the shadow of a massive ego, it's something that will eat away at you one way or another. But I personally try to get ahead of the oncoming train of unhappiness and locate what it is that's making me feel like shit and I try my best to cut the bastard out. For example, I've been feeling the unbearable weight of doing playthrough videos for some time (a pressure only I put myself under, no one else) and so I've made the conscious decision to stop doing them. I've stood back and recognised that there are so many cool dudes who main gameplay stuff and excel with ridiculous poise and skill; they can carry that particular torch and I'll stick to my dumb joke videos and mapping / modding vids while I earnestly work on digging a mapping niche for myself this year. Are my videos childish? Yes. Are my videos unnecessarily sexual and adolescent frequently? Yes. Because that's what I like, it makes me laugh. I'm making the content I wish existed for Doom; I'd rather spend untold hours working on something that makes me laugh constantly while editing it and have no one watch it, than make something that would have mass appeal but I'd end up hating it because it's for the taste of others, not me. Haha, I never intended to do gameplay stuff anyhoo, I wanted to do video essay stuff like Civvie but for Doom content ... and then I watched people rocking seriously awesome gameplay vids and I'd go, "that looks so fun, I'd like to do that". And then would feel the strain halfway through a series each and every time, lol. My channel is so all over the place because of my attention problems and being easily distracted. At least with essay stuff I've got something to focus on. But enough of my nonsense (sorry 'bout that). I sincerely hope you're able to take a breath, and even get away from Doom for a spell. I like to dig into Spyro the Dragon or Rayman Legends or AOE 2 when I get exhausted with Doom. Some sort of palette cleanser might be in order? I dunno. But I really hope everyone's replies above help to refresh your perspective and stuff. Take care of yourself, matey. :)- 29 replies

RUST /// THE INFERNAL MACHINE

Well I’m firmly moist. Gonna jump into this tonight! That OP gif(?) is some of the best presentation I’ve EVER seen. 👑 -
Daylight District | A 7-level vanilla episode!

Boots. With the fur. -
No worries man! Think of any issues as an opportunity to think “well I won’t do that again”. I still do think this quite often! If I feel a map is a bit bland or not jiving how I want it, I’ll check out a map I’m inspired by and consider what makes it great and work out how to emulate those qualities. 😎 one thing: never give up, never surrender!

Post your Doom video! [but don't quote video]

I still feel it would be better if every thing in Doom is ultra small and it’s all happening in a microscopic universe 🌍

Why are water levels in games so bad?

What would the Monsters do for a hobby?
EduardoAndFriends replied to EPICALLL's topic in Doom General
This passes through my mind a lot, unsurprisingly. I guess they spend a lot of time building hell bases, under the yoke of barons and other overlords, and await orders from a mastermind who’s dreamt up ANOTHER stupid plan to attack humanity. :) -
What would be the worse game universe to be stuck in?

Cruelty Squad. -
Reckon I’ll do a video on my less botched method for anyone interested. :)

Haha! Thanks, man!

I’ve now improved upon that somewhat scrappy method as it was held together with sticky tape and prayers. A lot more reliable now lol. :)

Romero’s Doom II WAD: HELLION. Coming soon…ish?

Understandable. It would be a huge undertaking! -
What megawads do you replay the most?
EduardoAndFriends replied to Lizardcommando's topic in WAD Discussion
Also, for me, if the soundtrack doesn’t grab me it doesn’t matter how juicy the maps are, I’ll seek out something that bops so in that regard, BTSX 2 is something I revisit constantly.
