Regarding the April Agitation: I'm sad I had to vote against Unholy Cathedral, that level's always been special to me. But there's no way I could not vote for Against Thee Wickedly. Same goes for the Pit (I actually like the up-down part a lot) but the Chasm is just too too loving good. Also that's a cool detail about E4M5 I didn't know. Go all the way Theresa!

Segmentation Fault posted:How is anything he's saying worthy of the moniker "shithead?" Making a character that's just a blank slate is incredibly poor characterization, and I imagine early FPS fans would be incredibly aware of this. No, it isn't. That's the entire point of Anita's video - even if we have blank slate characters, their gender, race, agency, etc matter in terms of identifying and working with them. It's the kind of thing that's easy to miss if you're a cis guy who has everything match you, but these broad strokes of identity matter to people not commonly represented. Additionally, American equating a blank slate with a burka is incredibly Islamophobic. Women aren't silent, aren't suddenly not people, when they cover themselves.

Alain Post posted:He also posted that E4M2 was just a worse version of The Inmost Dens. hosed up. I'm a girl. And I think they're pretty similar, very tough and tricky play with lots of restricted movement on narrow ledges. Perfect Hatred is very myopic and single-minded; The Inmost Dens expands into a malevolent sense of space and better narrative without losing the tension or focus.

So I finally finished Plutonia and now I never ever want to see a revenant again. What's a good baby's first unofficial WAD? Looking for something to spice things up a little, possibly a bit easier (or actually just less annoying) than Plutonia on HMP. Back to Saturn X? Scythe? The above mentioned Doom 64?

RyokoTK posted:Scythe, definitely. Scythe is perfect, thank you! I ran it once just to make sure it was working right and before I knew it I had died on MAP06. I really like the small, focused map sizes and the difficulty is perfect (playing on UV currently as recommended!) It's kind of weird that some of the level text doesn't seem to display right though. Like my saves say they're for the Crusher or the Gantlet or whatever instead of the actual map name, and I received the original Doom II intermission text before MAP07. The actual loading and score screens display correctly, though. Is that a problem on my end (GZDoom on OS X) or is that just a thing with this WAD?

Alain Post posted:I remember hearing poo poo about some guy visiting Ion Storm's office during the Daikatana development and being shocked by the texture work. Like, in a bad way, as in people were working way too hard on super detailed high-res textures that wouldn't look anything like that resolution in-game. The implication was that nobody was experienced enough to really know what they should have been doing. It's an anecdote Romero tells during the Dorito Pope's article on Ion Storm: https://web.archive.org/web/20061225123829/http://www.gamespot.com/features/btg-daikatana/index.html They hired a bunch of artists who had never done games texture work before and had no idea about economy, so they made 4096x4096 candle textures and stuff. Was absolutely killing the game. The same problem happened to FFXIV 1.0.

uncleKitchener posted:Are TNT and Plutonia any good? I remember them being pretty hard and gimmicky, but overall not that bad. I just finished Plutonia. It has good parts but it's really gimmicky in a lot of places like you said. A lot of the levels play like they just placed revenants at random, added some keys and called it a day. I'd be hard pressed to recommend anything except MAP11. Beyond that, all you really get out of it is saying "Yay I beat Plutonia!" There are some pretty bad errors in Plutonia as well. Like Odyssey of Noises is really keyed backwards, and would be much better if it went yellow blue red with the current placements. TNT was okay but not great. It has some fun levels though, like Wormhole. I'm glad I played both, but I'll likely never touch them again.

Adrian Chmielarz was never a part of RWS, he started in Metropolis, then went to create People Can Fly, and now is a part of The Astronauts (of Vanishing of Ethan Carter). The rest is true, sadly, but I'm drawing the line here and not continuing this discussion. Oh, my bad. I saw him posting Postal 2 stuff in his tweets "to get back against the evil SJWs" and made a wrong connection. So they're both misogynists, but unconnected. It's worth pointing out this sort of stuff so we don't support hateful people. Parody feminist enemies are in bad taste but not necessarily misogynist. Like the elves in that Duke 3D expansion pack for example. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Rupert Buttermilk posted:This reminds me of the completely terrifying slaughterfish in Daggerfall. Jeeeeezus christ, take their look and sounds, and mix that together with an engine that really can't do water, and you've got a swimming nightmare. And then just when you got used to them, in the deepest darkest dungeons were underwater things, dead bodies floating in water shrouded in tentacles that hit like trucks. As bad as slaughterfish were, it was worse when you were ambushed from behind by a dreugh for the first time, always in pitch-black water lost in a giant random dungeon.

Zaphod42 posted:Big guns can be kinda rare though, you might not find anything good in the 'big guns' category until halfway through the game. Oh i see how it is Paul.  Swimming is not very useful. Environmental Training or whatever it is is worse. Also, one point you should keep in mind Minidust. Deus Ex is a very good, best of all time game - it's like Doom. And like Doom, you'll return to it every year or so as long as computers exist. But also like Doom, you only get to play it the first time once. Don't look at walkthroughs, don't worry about being optimal (although do keep a lot of saves) - just do what you want to do, and see where that takes you. Choice is a huge part of Deus Ex, and aiming to be perfect takes away from that. Just enjoy it.

It's probably overkill, but a Razer Naga is the foremost example of what you're looking for. Fourteen additional buttons, all mappable to arbitrary keyboard keys. It's designed for MMOs where you actually need that many buttons.

NuclearPotato posted:If you're talking level packs, you can't go wrong with Memento Mori 1-2, since they were designed for coop. From what I understand (full playthroughs of both are still on my backlog), 2 has aged better than 1, but they're both still good. It's successor WAD, Requiem, is also pretty good. For something more modern, you could check out Back to Saturn X, Episodes 1 and 2, though those aren't specifically designed for coop. So we gave multiplayer Memento Mori a go, trying UV on the listed stable build on Zandronum's web page. It worked okay, but we started noticing some odd stuff on MAP02. The lifts seemed kind of glitchy - like you'd step on and immediately appear at the top. And the blue key door couldn't be reopened after the first time - after awhile it just shut, and there was nothing that could be done about it. I tried restarting the server, but that didn't fix either issue. I also checked for known compatibility issues for MM, but all I found was a note that it needs "find shortest textures like Doom" turned on for MAP29. Trying that in the compatibility flags didn't help, either. Trying to figure it out, I played through the same map single-player in GZDoom. The same issue happened with the first lift, but the blue key door opened, rising into the ceiling, and stayed open. So there's obviously some sort of issue with Zandronum, I guess. Does this sort of thing result from a misconfigured server (and if so, how can I fix it?) or is it maybe just Zandronum? I know the stable version of Zandronum is years old in comparison to the GZDoom codebase, maybe it's worth upgrading to one of the 3.0 betas? PS: The balance in multiplayer Doom with pickups seems weird. Like there's just not a lot of ammo going around. On UV with two of us, we were often running out and punching pinkies to death. Is this common and intended, or an issue with Memento Mori, or should I have turned on item respawns or something? MAP02 had two shotguns and one chaingun, which makes for an interesting balance. Talking to each other and going "okay you take that health kit, you need it more" is pretty great, though.

Super Go gently caress Yourself 64. Insulting him (because yes, it is pretty much unsurprising that yet another white cis nerd turned out to be a loving idiot) is a separate statement from wishing his sister well. One doesn't invalidate the other. Also, public memory? Did he die? Last I saw he was plugging KotakuInAction and whining about ethics in gaming journalism. He's old, tired poo poo, and he needs to go away. Like just retire, not move to another country and set up a new games development sweatshop there. edit: Oh, and Kins the last time I posted in this thread was asking for help getting Memento Mori running in multiplayer.
