i really dont see why its so relevant to the discussion of its sequel?

Because knowing how the entity from DOOM would and would not speak, in-universe, can help you determine when you should hate the UAC and when you should hate the writers.

let's keep in mind that, babypolis aside, very few people are that mad about the jokes in doom but the internet alt-right love acting like the 12 people that have gottne mad about it are the entirety of the internet, and have tweets with thousands of rts going on about how leftists are limpwristed based off, one random tweet they found from someone with 12 followers

so maybe this isnt really a 'leftists suck HEH' thing

Doom 2016 annoyed me because for some reason it would occasionally permanently lock doors behind you, despite being open to back tracking 85% of the time, so if you missed anything you'd have to start the stage again.

it's a weird turd eating it's own tail thing going on where there's a few people getting upset because they don't understand the satire, the alt-right chuds crowing because it's "triggering the libs" while simultaneously also not understanding the satire, some people upset because the point of the satire being missed by the alt-right chuds kind of just makes it straight up not satire, some people upset because it's pretty good satire ruined by people missing the point, and at least one person mad because they can't think up a better term for the whole situation than "ourobowelos"

tbf i think its possible to criticize the satire, while getting it. like i think the joke is just confused and ineffectual and it was dumb to put it front and center in the trailer, but i dont think the developers are nazis or anything, just morons.

you said it yourself, they talked about diversity and inclusivity and what not. they dont refer to the workplace as a melting pot because thats a weird use of the phrase

same thing with your second paragraph, a corp would say things like "demons? there are no such things as demons! just ignore the hellish visions and carry on!!" they wouldnt go say poo poo like welcome our demon friends

No, I've totally seen "melting pot" used, it's not a weird phrase to me. Even in the Trump administration the federal government does its damned hardest to co-opt what the far right would call "PC culture" because then if they come under criticism they can say "well, we do everything to create a friendly environment."

What are we going on about here? Doom Eternal? Doom 2016? Jokes? Fascist? I thought Doom was blowing the faces off demons and one of the best soundtrack in any game.

Your not listening to the dialogue or, Satan forbid, reading something in a doom game are you?

it's. i'd recommend just downloading quakespasm and turning off texture filtering and maybe interpolation if you want the og jerky animations, otherwise it's basically identical to og quake but it's just easier to set up and runs smoother

that's not necessary though, it's just easier than messing with command line stuff for glquake

IIRC they didn't take out the old one-punch-death if you just tap B, holding B gets you a fancy flourish assassination but you don't have to do that to get the kill and it's only good for showboating in PVP because it will break stealth against the AI. (I also have not played the recent games.)
