Doom Explorer does it all, and does so easily. Been using it for many years now

I was there for hours on the stream, this was such a fun way to celebrate Doom, wish I could have been there in person! Thanks to MWG for letting me know it was happening :)

It did get a mention, but Abscission is one of the best wads I've played in years. It certainly belongs in the discussion when it comes to best vanilla megawads, particularly best solo-author megawads of all time, without a doubt. There's no other Doom wad in existence with a soundtrack like that, either. I see it remaining one of my favorites for years to come!

I've probably said this too many times but I'm immensely glad the naysayers were wrong. I was so worried when I started mapping and DMing in 2001, hearing people occasionally lament Doom being "on death's door".. Then it just kept not dying year after year, to the point where I found it hilarious when people would say it. I am sad the DM scene reduced to a shell of its former self, but classic Doom by and large has only gotten bigger over the last 20ish years!

..Respectfully, all you pissy babies WHINING your tits off about how "toxic" Doomworld is/was frankly wouldn't know the first goddamn thing about "toxicity" if it brought a paddle to your spoiled asses. :^) Ahem. ..Bullshit aside, I really do believe DW has always been well below the "standard internet level" of toxicity. It was (the closest thing to) a reasonably welcoming place for trans, gay and even furry Doomers well before communities being even partially welcoming to those demographics was at all common - I'm talking late 2000s, FFS - and shit, acceptance of those groups is STILL really rocky in many communities, YT or social media comment sections, etc etc... but not here. I been round the various corners of the Doom community since I was a literal child and I never felt "pushed away by toxicity" or whatever such nonsense. Occasionally someone might talk some shit, but usually before I'd even get to respond, someone else would jump in the fray on my behalf. So a little crazy compared to the norm, maybe? Not toxic though. Absolutely below the common internet average, be it 2003, 2013 or 2023. There was (and to a large degree, still is) this sense of camaraderie that I didn't feel at all in other (gaming) communities of the older eras. Maybe that's just my experience though. But man. I cannot imagine even attempting to navigate the greater web, ever, if I couldn't even stomach DW's lite-ass nonsense.

I only see WOOD5.. looks really cool!

64 units being roughly 6 feet makes sense on paper, but to build things to any kind of scale in Doom, X and Y have to be measured differently. If you treat 64 units as 6 feet high, but only 4 feet wide, it becomes pretty easy to scale things appropriately. (The wiki suggests a "realistic" scale of 6 to 5, but even that doesn't cut it, in practice.)

All I'm saying is those Maltesers were really good..

Here it is, https://doomshack.org/uploads/DOOM1-2.WAD This will put all D1 textures in D2!

Although they have to be toggled, I know Odamex and Zandronum support ENDOOM, ZDaemon may as well but I'm unsure (been a minute since I last played unfortunately).

I welcome you to contribute to the project. @Peccatum Mihzamiz and @t.v. thank you for bumping the thread - I really do want to get this project completed. I'm feeling like by about February I'll be substantially less busy / probably eager to do another stretch of Doom modding and will be able to get back to coordinating this damn thing (or at least assisting in doing so!)

Oddly, for far too many years, the Steam version of Doom, Doom 2 etc came with literally only the game EXE - no SETUP, let alone IPXSETUP, SERSETUP etc.. I can only speculate as to why it was sold in this broken state for so long. Users could not customise anything without prior knowledge of how default.cfg works!

DCG Retrowave used his SC-88 to provide the music for a number of MtPain’s videos, I only know due to talking to each of them about it some time a couple years ago. I have an SC-88 myself and can confirm it sounds damn near identical to that soundfont when in 55 mode!

IMA LET U FINISH BUT SIGIL WAS THE GREATEST WAD OF ALL TIME! ALL TIME!!! Seriously, it's a darn good wad, but "one of the best of all time"? Claiming no wads from the last 5 years other than MyHouse (lolwat) and Eviternity even compare!? It's just ignorant nonsense. It's actually such a dumb prospect and point of contention that I considered splitting it, but.. meh FWIW there are multiple DBPs, plus wads like Abscission, Nostalgia, Nova II, Solar Struggle, etc that are, in my opinion, better examples of "fun Doom experiences". I hate that this sounds like I'm shit talking Sigil because it is rock solid fun, but you have to be high on fanboy fumes to legitimately consider it better than Eviternity or other GOATs..

What you're hearing in those videos is an SC-88 in SC-55 mode, some of these soundfonts should get you pretty close, particularly the smallest of the EmpGrieferus ones: https://archive.org/details/sc-55-roland-25-gm-soundfonts

I'll add a spoilered list of launchers and newer source ports soon - I know the selection in the OP is a little limited compared to what's on offer today!

If this isn't a regular occurrence, I wouldn't worry too much. It could have been everything from not limbering up enough throughout the day thus a lack of bloodflow, to dehydration (as HeatedChocolate said), or even the signs of something relatively minor like the onset of a common cold. If it's persistent to any degree from here on, you absolutely should consult a GP. If it's a pretty damn rare occurrence, I think you can chalk it up to something very minor.

Sure, but is it your cup of slime?

LOL this whole post is political so ignore it, I just had to express disagreement. No aggression or anything like that intended.

😭 Key points about FL: - Has always been fairly insane - Has nice beaches - Didn’t have Nazi flags flying on the way into Disney when I was there - Most every area seemed designed to put poverty and excess wealth right the fuck on top of eachother Key points about AU: - One of the friendliest cultures I’m aware of - Lacks the thrill of health problems (inevitable for all humans on this planet) leading directly to bankruptcy - Has way fucking nicer beaches than FL - The outback and most small towns within are old, rusty, beaten up, and the pubs pretty much always have a very warm and welcoming vibe. Absolute comfort zone I love both in terms of geography and natural beauty. Swamps, as well as arid deserts, are both genuinely gorgeous in my eyes.

lol, Wtf is this? Also plagiarism is a ban-worthy offense.. but also anti-immigrant talk? Wtf is this doing in a wad thread? RIP

So you know what is and isn't caco worthy, but you also don't know better than the people currently writing them? That's crazy dude
