I agree! Despite being at a time before the entire internet was your compulsory emotional support group.

Hello Has anyone compiled or made any texture sets that are akin to the Cultist Base motif from Doom Eternal? This is a great theme and I think it would make some striking Doom levels. Sorry if this has been brought up or done already. Thanks guys.

Perpetually Tormented: On Doom Eternal And Coping With Trauma
Use replied to Man of Doom's topic in Doom Eternal
Ah, found the problem. Seriously though, @Swordofdanu has good advice. Maybe step back and focus on your own well being. Take care of yourself! We like having you around! -
I know this isn't Doom related or if it has been mentioned here as I don't hang around but I found this recently and was really impressed. This thing is just screaming for some Doom textures and enemies! Maybe make the full pseudo-3d Doom experience we always wanted on Saturn?? :)

The three or four people I converse with on occasion know that I've moved about a year ago. From a small apartment of 8 or so years to a house..again. Next door is a duplex, as I'm typing the two small yappy dogs are once again suspended outside the sliding door by a small length of leash. No one ever walks them. Sometimes I see a woman, she comes out, sits down with a tablet, smokes a cigarette. Goes back inside. I've seen her on occasion, sitting in the van parked on the drive. It's not running. Just sitting, staring. The dogs..they are so tiny, surely it would be no effort to walk them. There's a baby in there, I never hear it.
During the spring, a teenager was outdoors. He lifts a large rock, or sometimes a slab of masonry over his head, throws it into the side of their only tree. He does this everyday for a few days. In one instance it looks as though he is trying to toss the rocks up into the tree. Is this a new workout? Some kind of tree-vandalism? What does he hope to accomplish? I find this person's activities very distracting. I know you can't be well-off, your family doesn't own this property..why are you destroying this perfectly healthy tree? Bark keeps disease and parasites away. You idiot.
At night, I contemplate going over there and taking the rocks and masonry from their little pile at the corner of the house and hiding them in my garage. One or two trips, I could do it. He would wake up, do god-knows-what before preparations for his daily battle, and find his implements missing. That would end this charade pretty quick.
The other day, two men were chatting it up in the backyard. There's a small cover of greenery blocking most of the view, and a rickety wire fence that connects to my garage, which was obviously built several years after house. Now I see them often, they go into the duplex's garage..the car is still always parked in the drive. The door is open, once again I never hear anything. Only at night, around midnight, the sounds of a power tool, possibly a drill. They don't look particularly handy, there's junk strewn everywhere in the yard, obscured by the fence-growth. That little white bench could be easily fixed..why don't you at least pick up and stack the masonry littered about? I don't understand these people. If they would just walk their dogs, I wouldn't care...maybe fix those blinds on the second level, they look terrible all askew like that. It's the teenagers room, I bet.- Show previous comments 2 more

Haha that kid throwing rocks at the tree is the best part of the story.
I have a next door neighbor that takes care of her sister who is a paranoid schizophrenic. She takes pills that calm her down but last summer she stopped taking them and sits on the front porch smoking cigarettes 20 hours of the day singing, shouting at people either in her head that weren't there, or people that were there walking on the sidewalk. She tells crazy nonsensical stories, wearing the same outfit for weeks, flipping people off, and leaving her poor dog out in the summer sun for hours. The dog started digging holes in our garden to lay in to cool off.
She still sits on the porch smoking cigarettes maybe 14 hours a day now, and she still occasionally talks to herself, but the worst of it is over for now.
Still I got major beef with people who don't take care of their dogs. There are so many dogs in my neighborhood that bark at everything that moves. A ten minute walk a day would make such a difference. I only give my dog a 15 minute walk most days up and down the street just to sniff things and look around and pretend were on an adventure and she completely transforms.

Yes, just got back from seeing them at St Andrews in Detroit, a small venue a block away from GM headquarters. It was fucking awesome. They sounded great and played some of my favorite songs. Now back to whatever it is I do.

Happy birthday you mopey old bastard. Oh wait, me too. I'm 32. Oh god, my feet...
Feel free in joining together to mock the old one. Me, not Cthulhu. -
I can't afford my internet connection anymore so I might not be around much. This will give me time for my work though, so I guess it's okay...that is until my electricity is also truned off. Being poor is great.

Greetings Doomworld denizens! 'Tis I, Use, sending you on your Newstuff adventure. This week is really a letdown though, complete with many 94 wads most of you won't play. Since of the lack of fresh meat, I reviewed them anyway, and found a few to be worth playing! I also skipped over a Skulltag wad, which has a nice txt file, but I don't play or use Skulltag, so every one who uses Skulltag download it! Another was some Robocop wad that uses a weird engine I can't be bothered with. (Editor's note: Besides, it's been reviewed two or three times already.) OMG!!! NOT Another Map By PuMpKiNsMaShEr - Pumpkin Smasher Boom Compatible - Solo Play - 160 KB - Pretty much the only new map I played was this one, and it's spicey! I died a few times trying to find some weapons, but once you know where things are it's not too difficult to get a foothold. When you've got some firepower the gameplay consists of medium sized groups, and several single encounters with the nastier critters. For a brick and metal map, this wad is attractive. The detail level is low, clearly desgined as a functional gameplay layout, and it achieves that. I found the lighting to be lacking in a few areas, oppressive darkness where torches/skylights are present but aren't doing anything. I also ran into two oddly placed voo-doo dolls, and wondered if they were left in (hopefully) by mistake. The texturing works well, I would have liked to see the strict theme broken up a little bit more but it's still good. Eventually you'll find yourself in a hellish pit, where a fun battle awaits with some Knights and hostile Barons. Download for a fun challenge! GLADIATR - Tim J. Ash doom.exe - Deathmatch - 16 KB - This is a very small deathmatch arena from 1994, clothed in gstone and some metal. There's also a HOM for good measure. I think it's meant to be played with monsters, only the chainsaw is available for pickup. This makes an otherwise okay 1-on-1 map pretty crappy. Fragville, USA - Michael C. Davis doom2.exe - Deathmatch - 41 KB - A small 1994 Citadel-like deathmatch arena for Doom2. This map looks like it would be a good time with a few skilled players, all the bots did was fall into the moat and stand there. Fullbright strikes again, and the theme is pretty monotonous. DMLAMOU2 - Francios Lamoureux doom.exe - Solo Play - 58 KB - Here is an interesting wad for Doom, there's no release date in the txt file but it judging from the random themes and odd layout it's from the 95-96 era. This level is fun at the beginning, with small critters and plenty of ammo. Things soon become more cramped and you'll have to face off with some big dudes with a meek arsenal. After the fighting cools down prepare for some mild switchhitting, then back to close combat. Ammo then becomes tight, and eventually a Spidermind shows his ugly face, initially it appears the fight is lost, but with a little observation you can beat him without unloading all your ammo. Overall I liked this map, anyone who doesn't mind older maps will appreciate this one. Demon's Lair - Kyle Pero doom2.exe - SP/DM - 501 KB - Ever wonder what a Demon's Lair looks like? Well, in 1995 a lair comprised of large, squarish rooms and very wide doors. Oh, there's a huge tech-like crushing ceiling in the middle. This wad has a few surprises, some new sounds, textures yanked from Heretic, and some other textures that I can't place. Combat in this map is spread out, and small ambushes can get the best of you if you're not careful. Save your plasma ammo, and always look before you leap. ^-^ Five Really Insane Environments - Michael C. Davis doom.exe - Solo Play - 28 KB - The concept for this 94 wad is kinda neat, you're supposedly fighting in five unqiue environments each with it's own slew of monsters. However the execution isn't so neat, all the places look big and ugly, with bad texture choices and doors disguised as walls. The battles are easy, and the ample movement space should be enough for anyone. Play if you want, but you're not missing anything. Frogger3 - Francois Bertrand doom.exe - Solo Play - 70 KB - The txt files claims this wad to be funny, it does include some quite unfunny new textures, and it's chock full of 94 ugliness. Textures are never aligned on either axis, the rooms are big and bright and bare, and the gameplay isn't even that good. Overall totally skippable. The Gallery - Mike Seltenright doom2.exe - SP/DM - 11 KB - A large 1994 symmetrical Doom2 level. Obviously designed more for deathmatch than single player, although both modes of play are pretty boring in this map. Z? The Final Gathering - Daniel 'Stormin' Norman doom2.exe - Solo Play - 738 KB - Here is a fun, older 5 level set for Doom2. The first 2 maps are sketchy but things get interesting around map3. The themes are well defined and the gameplay is fast and quite good. Combat varies between cramped/base style shooting to large scale arena battles with the forces of hell. Map4 and map5 stand out, map5 having a complex yet effective layout and creepy music. I'm glad this set came along, there's some fine design and gameplay ideas here I would like to see in new wads. A worthy download.

YAY for me.
I'm getting over a nasty cold/flu thing so I won't be doing much, prolly watching some Star Wars, playing Dreamcast and generally sitting around. Work was nice enough to let me go for the day. I'm 26! -
Okay, I'm running my new AMD64, which I had put sp2 on for Winxp, only after reading about the horrible time people are having with this service pack. Sure enough, my system became very unstable, and would randomly bluescreen out and reboot. The screen would go by so fast I could not read it.
So, I manage to uninstall sp2, but still encounter a random total hang of my system, no warning, no message, just dead. These seemed to happen anytime I was running firefox.
Since then i have started to reinstall and update a few programs just in case sp2 had mucked them up.
Just wondering if anyone had some insight into tracking down the source of the total hang, or has had any major stange issues with Firefox or sp2 on a AMD64. Event viewer is no help, and windows restarts as if nothing happened.
But, so far I've been running all day without a crash, so maybe I'm in the clear. Just gotta try some games and see what the deal is over time I guess. And just when I get HL2!! ;( -
I dont post in blogs often but felt compelled to so bear with me
Work today started mostly normal, a little slow, when a woman and her seemingly normal son come in looking around. The kids looks to be around 8 or so, and I notice his mother looking for a sales person. Like usual, I approached and asked if she needed anything. She wanted a hermit crab for her son. I then showed them the hermit crab cage and the kid gets very excited at this point, and tells me that his babysitter has a hermit crab. He instantly points out a random crab and says 'I want THAT one!'
I pick it up and yes, its alive and it looks fine. But then I notice the price is not yet on the cage. That means the animals can't be sold yet, they've just arrived to the store less than a week ago. So to make busy-time I check with the boss and sure enough the crabs can't go home. The two customers are wandering around and I simply explain to the mother that the crabs have to stay another few days. The mother tells her son what I just said, and for a moment he seemed fine, then the former happy child turned beet red, and started shaking, then explodes into the most violent tantrum I've ever seen! He ripping his shirt off with his teeth, growling, stomping, rambling incoherencies, and all the while Mother stands there like nothing is happening. this episode went on for a minute at least, then the mother hurried the child out of the room. Sure enough a few moments later, the red eyed kid stomps up to me, mother in the background staring blanky, and screams:
'Look, if you don't give me a hermit crab, I'm going to smash your puny head!!!'
Mother again grabs the kid and hauls him away and out of the building, thus ending the most fucked up day I've had in that place for quite some time. I just hope I don't see that kid when he's 18 and a serial murderer - 'I WANTED THAT HERMIT CRAB YOU FUCKING SADISTIC FUCK!'
And now a song...
A piece of mail
A letter head
A piece of hair
From a human head
They're sayin' to me
"I should've killed it"
"I should've killed it"
"I should've killed it before"
You're right, you're right
"Kill the body and the head will die"
They're laughin' at me
"I should've learned it"
"I should've learned it"
"I should've learned it before"
-What a day, what a day
If you can look it in the face
And hold your vomit
A wet sneeze and a "no left turn"
A row of teeth and an encouraging word
Beneath a mile of skin
"I should've noticed it"
"I should've noticed it"
"I should've noticed it before"
What a day
What a day
What a day
Don't you touch it
Faith No More - What a Day-

Really? I usually cherish the thought of young punks turning 18. Then you don't automatically get thrown in jail for starting a fight. The Young Punk Mentality usually doesn't follow law(or common sense, for that matter), so fortunately kids don't catch on to the fact that once they turn legal age, their ass is grass.

FYI, Mark Klem's site is here. If the address there doesn't work, I recall that Archvile46 contacted him recently (about use of his music in CChest), so must have up-to-date contact details.

I'm moving shortly and may not have an internet connection for some time. I'm going to try and use this offline hiatus to get some cool Doom things worked on, not to mention playing with my new house ~.^
Just wanted to let everyone know, and say it was nice to meet other Doomers here and participate. I'll be back in a few months at the most.
And for no apparent reason, here is the letter H. -
Debating weather or not to use some third party drivers for my voodoo5 on my 98se box. Anyone have any experience with 3rd party voodoo drivers or have any reccomendations?

The latest Voodoo5 drivers from Voodoofiles work well with my friends Voodoo 5.

Godfuckingdamnit, Ichor why the f00k did you trash the Homogay Marraige thread? We all know Doomedout is a freakin retard, Nanami was just pointing it out for the new people. There was still plenty of room for good discussion there!!! Gah it makes me MAD, whenever a cool thread like that appears it get closed just because some bigoted piece of shit can't keep his trap shut and gets called a retard like he is. Anyhoo, i felt this would be more appropriate than a private message. Im just venting. ..and DARKFOX came OUT!!! maybe I should ask him on a date...
-
Sorry, but it was beginning to get out of hand there, and I had to dump it before it got any worse. Topics like that, religion, probably abortion, and a few others are very difficult to discuss without turning into a complete flamewar, simply because everyone's beliefs about these topics are so strong. I was kind of hoping that this time would be different, but if I had not killed the thread, someone else probably would have by now anyway.
