Maybe the main reason I'm highly prone to make fun of immature people - mostly via all the stupidities they post on social networks, including sentences with a sh!tload of grammatical and spelling errors, awkward images and they themselves liking their own posts - is because I am one of them, only a bit more aware and educated, yet too weak enough to make drastic changes in attitude to life all by myself.

Hey. If you think that your first map tries are solid cringe, why don't you have a look at some of these sketches of maps I've made at the age of 11? :D
The stupid names I've given them originated from mangling different terms of the names of Doom maps and Duke Nuke 3D levels together. :D
Also, there are 36(!) of these straight. The five I've included are the ones that ever could see the day as real levels, with sh!ttons of polishments to make them at least enjoyable. :D- Show previous comments 6 more

@leodoom85 I'll PM them to you, too. I wouldn't nearly call 'em "proper" by any means, but this project is going nowhere anyways, so for you to have them. ;)

Yay, I just discovered this amazing hidden feature of IPS Community Suite™!
Now I don't have to type anymore. ^^

OPINION SEEKING ALERT;
You members are more oftentimes than not fine folks of making arguments over everyday issues as I pull off, so I'd like to share something of a dilemma with you:
NOTE: sheerly radical examples don't count. I.e. don't go into lenghts like, said guy raped your elder sister, killed your parents or was the culprit behind the arson that cost your home. Stick to issues that are likely to happen in your everyday life and so.- Show previous comments 3 more

IDGAF about it. OK, so that person did something better than me, so why should I whine about it?
-
Now that I'm awake, this isn't humor, but I've defended or agreed with people I dislike or hate. That's not even about being friend thought, its about doing what's right.

Latecomer late self-respose is late (and lame).
Sent this picture to some Wise Guy I know and I got quite an answer that satisfied many, if not all my needs.Quote"We take anything and everything offensively - or at least, with harsh criticism - from people we dislike. This is reasoned by the fact we qualified them emotionally as culpable people and we just don't want to go into depths of perception of what they've said, instead we simply frown upon their sentences. It might be that if the one who told the same joke was our bestest friend we'd've just burst out of sheer laughter - sadly, this is the nature of things going around in life."

I'm thinking of redoing one of my earliest works (the one that actually made me join the Forums in the first place) in an approach more friendly both on the eyes and for the player as well.
Random uninteresting thought anyone could make, I know. -
Hey fam, I [REDACTED]

Right folks.
I am announcing my official "retirement" from the Forums, and, to a lesser extent, from Dooming and Doom modding in general. And before you might remind me of that "Oooh, you've already had several fake-outs in late 2017", I should admit that back in those times, I still could see faint rays of hope of becoming active and productive, or, to cite Doom25, "memorable".
But I've given up all expectations on that. Gameplay set-up is such a foregin artistic craft from me that I can blow it out my nose that I can design beautiful, detailed settings, buildings and such. Blessed with suck I am, and I gratefully accept past years' sour experience for eventually making me realise how fruitless my presence is here.
I'm gonna aspire for something I've been planning ever since my midst-teenagerhood, or, to be more precise, how should've I done and spent that charming golden era overshadowed by the gloom of immature- and loneliness. Perhaps if I acquire my initial goal, followed by a more mature perception of taking responsibilities and such, I shall return, but it shouldn't happen before 2021, and 2027 is the year I might appear again with the most certainty.
Excuse me for sounding like a pretentious nobody. (Should I, before all, sound like anything else? That is exactly what I am.) Take care, be well, and please give some spotlight for the roaming sound of the Revenant instead of the "spam of 'A' letters" overhype.

What's with this new name? :D

Dunno, somehow looking at your name, profile, avatar, etc. the context just put itself together and I was just feeling like making this statement for the lulz and whatnot. :D
-
Why, thank you. :D

Perhaps the NO1 reason why certain mods and/or games suck - but at least this is what I pull off my experience - is that they consume themselves into overexcessive storytelling.
Even though some of those are actually neat, promising and stuff (including sorts of originality), many still suffer of the very clichés of "youngest prince of the three"-esque bullshit, you're facing alone against the entirety of this cruel, nasty world, everything and everyone wants you for dinner, yet, by some sheer luck, you end up being victorious, then the cast rolls celebrating your triumph. Hooray, how original.
You may or may not waste your time reading 859 pages of .txt documentary attached to the launcher file, but regardless of dat, some unenjoyable, cringeworthy indie attempt it turns out to be anyways - about 99.8% sure. So never trust anything coming with Notepad files "weighing" several hundreds of megabytes, made out of mere sugarcoating in ASCII chars.- Show previous comments 1 more

@Albertoni It was Carmack.

Another problem I encounter when it comes to storytelling in games and mods is how it's delivered, or as I like to call it: "Why should I care?"
A story is good and all but a good story is one where the reader or consumer WANTS to know more about what's going on, what happens next, the possible lore behind the story. I felt like Doom 2016 did a good job of this. They got the gameplay nailed down right in my opinion but they also presented the story in such a way that I wanted to know more about the world and its lore. I found myself actually caring about the finer details and they were presented well, even if it was in a way self-aware of how silly it was.
F.E.A.R. (the original and to some extent its expansions), in my opinion, did a great job of drip-feeding the story and having it escalate in such a way it kept you glued to the seat to find out just how deep Armacham's projects went into unethical territory. Hearing phone messages and checking laptops helped fuel that curiosity of wanting to know what happens next, of wanting to know how deep the rabbit hole went with Armacham.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. does a good job at telling a story through a number of different ways, from the NPC's, to the files you find, to even the environment. It's a hostile area that clearly doesn't want you there yet when I played I found myself wanting to know more about how things went down in the Zone while also wanting to get better gear to continue to uncover the Zone's story/secrets.
Examples of games that didn't pull that off well to me? The Half-Life franchise (I found the contrived and forced, ham-fisted deification of Gordon Freeman in both one and two to be so laughable, absurd, and undeserving that the whole thing in general felt schlocky when it was trying to be straight-faced about it) and Guild Wars 2 (the dev team's knack for non-linear storytelling and leaving plot threads hanging only to maybe come back to them later [or not] instead of resolving them right then and there burned me out).

^ Stories have a higher chance to be good, or at least affordable, if they're actually programmed to build up alongside your progression into the game. Big names in the game industry more oftentimes than not live up to the expectations, and should even one of said games' documentary typed in a Notepad file excess 100MB, perfect tactics for hatred evasion persuades them to master balancing storytelling and gameplay in a measurable degree. Then there are the companies either infamous or barely known for anything - you may already take the hint at this one.
The irkiness of having a documentation with superfluous details in a separate text file actually derives from the devs themselves being too lazy and/or incompetent to implement this feature into their product - and if this is the case, it may also come along with the game itself becoming heapishly halfassed or otherwise disastrous. Worse yet, if companies hire flatout poets to write Pulitzer-worthy masterpieces of originality, yet almost all of the programmers for the project are career-questionable rookies, they already have all set for shutting down in a year or two.
As harsh and radical as it may sound.

Do you think I should replace it with something quiet?

Behold, young ones, as thy very moon of

Yeah, I think I'm getting old to casually enjoy YouTube comments... Recently I discovered being fed up w/ something I didn't quite bother before.
Let's say, there's a popular video w/ gazillions of likes (5 digits to boot) and also happens to have a few dislikes, usually not even more than 20 and so. Cue commenters proclaiming one of the following or something interchangeable w/ them.
- X people aren't/don't/cannot [insert an activity related to a quote or a general vibe about said video];
- X people believed the thumbs down is a download button / cannot aim with their mouse devices / are Australians / etc.
And perhaps the most cringeworthy of all:
- The X 'dislike' translates to 'dis I like'
Just shut yo' mouths already, rite? It's the InterMDFKNet w/ everyone to freely express their opinions. 'Course there are trolls, they're a constant with no legitimate ability to get controlled whatsoever, they'd occasionally find your famous vids and would downvote 'em w/ spite, get over it, the world ain't shatter by some lifeless losers' free roamin', period.
But. Don't be gettin' into pointin' out the few dislikers only to (most presumably) farm likes on your supey-dupey splendid little comment statin' the obvious, duh. It's the same level of bein' inappropriate like crashin' yo' good friend's celebration of their children bein' born w/ the invitation to yo' grampa's funeral. I really mean there are far more, less cringey methods to display yo' ravishin' fandom towards yo' favorite uploaded vid. -
... The past 10 years could have been less awkward and more productive.

Important and serious request.
We do not talk about who I was before. -
This one quote is so deep and touching, it always brings tears to my eyes. :,-)

Just realised that 'idgaf' isn't some obscure/undiscovered cheat of the game. Oh well.

- Being a fan of a genre is okay.
- Being a bias of a genre is, um, acceptable.
- Being a bias of a genre by degrading other genres to the extent of ridding them partially to fully of their description is, however, definitely not cool. -
OK, I've already seen gruesome meltdowns before (e.g. SArais) but this is just low-key unsettling.

Uh, err, sorry for the little inconveniences spread accross the Forums, guess the thing needs an overhaul and I harbored harmless people with useless stuff for nothing.
