The Doom Confessional Booth

A lot of the time I actually prefer to watch people play Doom rather than play it myself, especially if it's a particularly hard map set. Watching FDAs is some what therapeutic for me.

I dislike using light amp goggles. I really think they could have been made differently.

I oddly get a sense of relief especially in a dark place. It's nice to have everything lit clearly.

I hate the googles... they get rid of all the pretty lighting

^ Use them in areas with no pretty lighting, just darkness, then.

Doom 64 is my favorite game in the franchise because of its soundtrack and atmosphere being much more darker than the other games...

Obviously, you could include PSX DOOM too.

Doom 64 is visually darker too, artwise and lighting

Lately I've been firing up The Courtyard and going around doing silly things, particularly towards the end.

Yeah I agree, despite Doom 64 having fewer textures and decorative sprites, there is a more obvious use of occult/sacrificial/satanic/ritual imagery and it really helps give the game an evil atmosphere that not even Doom 3 or Doom 2016 has been able to accomplish.

Yup, I can say the same thing. I'll always love the original Doom, been playing it since 1993, but Doom 64's darker tones and focus on gothic otherworldly horror has won me over.

The rocket launcher reminds me of a penis (the thing sprite, not the on screen weapon sprites)

I have no idea what you guys are talking about!

Eh, guns are general are phallic, no?

Early this month I was called "cautious" or "careful" basically unprompted about three times in a one-week span when I posted FDAs for levels. I just don't understand that type of comment, really; at first I didn't mind, but it's getting quite annoying.

But your demos are so beautifully tip-toed.

I think he took "thing sprite" to mean the one you can enable to show up on the automap and not the weapon sprite when it's on the ground.

Nah he censored the penis.

I came to the conclusion that the stock weapon sprites are the main reason I haven't released anything in the last few years. I really don't like seeing them in front of what I make myself, but my attempts to replace them always end with me trying to make a good shotgun reloading animation and failing.

You can find a lot of good weapon sprites, but shotguns are either based on the stock ones (with most of their flaws intact) or broken in some way.

I've been thinking about mapping for the overall much neater Doom 64, but it has other problems like important monster types missing.

I feel my true identity is a cartoon girl, so I might switch my avy like Rayzik/tarnsman/essel/etc.

The blue dildo gun from the Quoth mod for Quake strikes two out of two:
