How is it possible that no one has ever referred to -skill 1 -fast -respawn as

[Linguica]

"Lightmare" mode?

I was just playing with it and it was a lot of fun. But I am more concerned that at least from Googling, it appears that no one came up with this neologism in over 20 years.

Well, this thread is quite old, but the issue has certainly been addressed.

EDIT: Sorry, I meant thread, not post.

Years ago I dubbed it "Nightmare Lite", but there are very few recordings in this category. Not sure why.

Maybe it has to do with "challenge". I remember I recently asked a related question about respawn (one of my rare posts in the Demos Forum):

Heh, things like UV-Respawn-Speed and UV-Tyson-Speed actually sound kinda fun.

I recall someone saying Doom 2 is actually really hard on ITYTD because they didn't add nearly enough ammo.

Always thought the name "UV max" without 100% items doesn't sound right.

He must have been just joking.

I have!!

There's a thread I made about it somewhere, I'm sure. Or maybe I said it on the tango tv interview or something. It's great on many iwad maps but I haven't had much good experiences with it on most other wads.

A good nightmare map needs to be nonlinear with lots of secrets and shortcuts.

I once proposed a "silent pacifist" variant, where you're supposed to avoid firing even a single blank shot or punch the air and alerting monsters. This can change the dynamics of certain maps dramatically, especially slaughter maps.
