I'll continue to argue it, but Batman Doom is probably the best TC by a country mile. Absolutely insane that it was done before modern source ports etc. changed the game.

Even more insane, a year and a half ago I helped to restore a feature that had been missing from the PC version ever since it was released! quote:The original Mac version of Batman Doom had an alternate effect for Zeke's Molotov Cocktail. Instead of the bottle spawning a single flame, it causes a multitude of flames to appear. This turns out to be a clever (ab)use of the Pain Elemental death code pointer, relying on vanilla Doom's hardcoded 21 Lost Soul limit to stop spawning new flames. You can download the patch from idgames and here are instructions on using it with Chocolate Doom.

Are guns banned for civilian use in the US? What would you like to use a gun for that you aren't able to now? Make the store clerk give you that discount?

I don't know if that poster is interested in owning guns in real life, but I'm sure they wouldn't rob a store!

Deus Ex is fun because it’s the last time conspiracy theories felt kind of quaint. It was still largely fueled by racism, anti-semitism, and xenophobia but I miss when the far right was gun toting anti-establishment crazies, the Dale Gribbles of the world, to the far right we have now who are gun toting crazies that loving love the establishment.

Nowadays the former group would be the "Boogaloo" types, but they're less cohesive, some of them are sympathetic to BLM and other left movements while others are little more than libertarian nazis, it's more varied and the main unifying topic is guns and anti-government/anti-authority stances. But unlike the past "gonna be ready for when the UN NWO sends the black helicopters after me!!!" militia types there's a strong nihilistic strain, not only do they see the coming collapse of civilization as inevitable but hey, why not help things along? So more like a right-wing version of the old stereotype of the bomb-chucking anarchist willing to blow up anything to start the revolution.

JohnnyBme posted:
In addition to using Berserk on pinkies, you can also reasonably use your (even regular) fists on regular zombiemen and sometimes imps/lost souls. Try not to do so on sergeants though - those shotguns loving hurt. Once you get the chainsaw, you can also melee cacodemons in addition to the above, as well as being able to trash imps/lost souls more reliably (keeping them pain-locked better compared to fists). It might be a little scary at first but it's a good way to save ammo. For Doom 2, fists can be reasonably used on pain elementals since you'll be up in their face and preventing lost soul spawns, and chainsawing can further be a reasonable bet on mancubi/revenants/arachnotrons thanks to their (relatively) high pain chance. Of course all this comes with caveats such as what the number and mix of monsters you're facing is like. A group of zombiemen or pinkies can be handled reasonably, but if there are barons around it might be better to quickly sweep the chaff with a proper weapon to give you some breathing room. As you play more you'll get more comfortable with assessing the situation and knowing when you can use melee.

Not sure if this has been reported to you but A. You can't access Petit Gutrot from the Town level select B. I was encountering a lot of crashes in 0.6, I have some video but haven't had the time to cut it down yet. One of the more memorable crashes was caused by dunking on like 8 enemies at once

Try not to do so on sergeants though - those shotguns loving hurt. All of those seem to work well, and especially doing the whole section in one "run", respawning mid world with 50 pistol bullets is not enough on ultra violent. I'm surprised there is so much game time to Doom, and how much it did not age and how good it feels to play. I already have 6 hours and 2.5 levels to complete.

The "basketball crash" has been giving us the shits for months now, at some point I'm going to have to bribe someone who knows more about the under-the-hood engine stuff to figure out how to stop it from happening. Low framerates seem to make it more likely to happen, it seems... At the moment though, I'm taking a quick break from R2 to tackle some unfinished business and recharge my batteries a bit. Also, here's SGDQ's Doom 64 speedruns. Pretty impressive, especially the Lost Levels one. Be sure to check out the Doom Eternal speedrun when it lands on Youtube, it's quite something! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3oBvzHekn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0BvICYvZvE

I would argue that in original Doom UV isn't a significant bump in difficulty from HMP because extra enemies means more workhorse ammo from shotgunners and more opportunities for infighting. Then you get Plutonia which absolutely understands infighting and says "gently caress you" to the player by creating a clear separation of enemies so hitscanners will almost always have unblocked line of sight while melee monsters rush your flank.

It's far, far easier to chainsaw a manc or arachnotron on a zdoom based port vs anything else. It's another case where behaviour with zdoom significantly deviates from the purist, demo compatible ports.
