Oh jeez, why are y'all playing this old thing!?

Cheers for catching those Zahid! @Pegleg, @Scorpius, @osminee, a few bug reports for y'all here.

Is that a Mothers of Invention reference I spy? I approve.

Ah yes, the inexplicable IWAD inclusions, heh. Guess I forgot to re-replace those when you submitted your update, this should fix it right up. As for the Zandronum error, I imagine it's to do with Zandro being based on an older version of GZDoom and therefore not able to cope with the newer stuff: ZDoom does the same thing when you try to load up the compilation in there.

Excellent! Then without further ado, I present the first public beta: massive thanks to @Xenaero for thoroughly testing this for me. Enjoy!

@smeghammer, do you want me to wait until you submit an update to your map before I release the first public beta?

Alright, finally getting around to the last round of bugfixing. Does anyone have any bug reports for me? I can't sit still long enough to watch a 2-hour VOD all the way through. Eheh.

⬆ Objectively correct answer, everyone go home.

Dude, come on.

If you're looking for wads people seem to like, maybe here is a good place to look.

Oh yeah, I should probably lock this thread, shouldn't I? @memeslayer1, please try and put a little more effort into your threads in the future.

...you maybe implement something that doesn't ask someone to remember a 20-character password? I get wanting to make sure security is up to snuff, but it's still a very obnoxious requirement.

I can't even see the ZDF one because they want me to change my password to something with 20 characters. Like, c'mon guys.

Gonna let this topic live because it seems to have generated a bit of conversation, but I'd recommend a bit more substance to your future threads than "I like thing, do you also like thing?", heh.

The thread before this one: remember, session 68 is at the end of this month! Yes indeed, here we are. The Abyssal Speedmapping Sessions (acronymized as ASS) started way back when in the heady days of 2013, where the absolute schlub you see before you tried to reignite the mapping passions of the Abyss forums via the medium of frantically throwing linedefs at an editor over Skype: I may not have succeeded in that aspect, but considering I can look back at over sixty compilations of speedmaps over a span of nine years - all of them wearing that delightfully crude acronym - I think it's fair to say that something went right. It's something that couldn't have happened without the efforts of the Doom community: the individuals who stepped up to run the show when I was unable, the people who brought cheer and laughs to the many mapping calls held over the years and - of course - every single mapper who showed up and had a good time making their maps. And now, we find ourselves at session 69. Nice. This will indeed the the last Abyssal Speedmapping Session, at least in this iteration: maybe something will take its place in due time, maybe the spectre of its influence will linger over the community endeavors of the future, but the ASS as we know it today officially ends next month. It's been a wild ride, full of mishaps and memes, but everyone's gotta get off the ride sometime. Thanks again to everyone who helped make the sessions what they are today and I look forward to what comes next.

Finished playing Jade Earth recently and the "marble techbase" theming is something I found pretty cool. I'm always a sucker for unorthodox texture combinations and Jade Earth is one of the better examples.

Oh hey, that old thing! :D Cheers for the review, haha.
