  1. it's back up, everyone can go back to their daily "I don't care about Facebook" in peace
  2. well you know what they say about broken clocks... the 60 minutes interview was good, although pretty much confirmed my suspicion that rage/misinformation media has been getting put to the forefront because algorithm and Facebook is just too damn lazy to tweak it
  3. this might be the potential source:

    YouTube is becoming a pain- COVID edition

    the biggest thing about the COVID shot is that its side effects far, far pale what will happen to you if you get COVID. and let's be real, the reason so many people aren't getting vaccines is not because they had a well-educated scientific thesis or a thoughtful conversation with their doctor, they went to Google University and did their "research" and found that eating horse paste is a safer alternative, somehow. if anyone's seen the movie Contagion you'll know there was a journalist peddling an alternative cure that didn't even work, claiming to have used it to cure himself of the virus when he didn't have the virus, and he fooled millions of people. You want to talk about misinformation? start right there.

    How do I make it through school.

    Somehow I think assaulting people doesn't solve a single problem, but it will land you in jail pretty often. Temporary solution with long term issues.

    How do I make it through school.

    I'd definitely reiterate Nine Inch Heels' advice and ask you see a school counselor or psychologist and do it sooner rather than later. I don't know and frankly don't want to know the nature of the comment you made to cause people to bully you but I guess just refrain from doing it again and do your best to ignore people trying to get a rise out of you. If you said the comment to, or about, those people bullying you, though, maybe attempt apology- that can go a long way. Given you've said you're in middle school, literally everyone has begun puberty at this point and people are going to be more reactive, upset, and angry about EVERYTHING, including yourself. Take care of your mental health and set yourself up to take care of your anxiety into the future. There are no prizes for attempting to push through it untreated. And remember, this is quite literally a fleeting phase of your life.

    So... internet shutdown on september 30th

    the article is in no way to be taken seriously, it's complete misinformation from fake authors.

    So... internet shutdown on september 30th

    my point was more that the author doesn't actually exist.

    So... internet shutdown on september 30th

    Gotta second this, I went surfing around the website and the more I look, the squirrelier it gets. The contact form takes the cake for me, with a Gmail address as the contact information.

    Man, I've seen some poorly-written fear mongering but this one takes the cake. I'm going to put a big-ass [citation needed] here. And the author isn't actually on Twitter....

    Save/autosave kept

    I imagine if you can figure out what the date/time of your autosaves are (or really this could apply to any save), you can make a copy into a folder on your hard drive and then paste it back into your Saves folder in your GZDoom folder and play it again. sounds like work though.
  12. yeah, as someone who's played all of them, just do the downloads, it'll be way faster

    [GZDoom] Unfamiliar

    Hi there! Just wanted to drop a note about the balance-on the lowest difficulty setting, I think it could do with some rebalancing. I'd started on second difficulty and there's almost no health in it, then when dropping down to lowest difficulty there's megaspheres in almost every room and half the fights are missing, which makes unfortunately makes it a lot less fun. Otherwise this looks nice, I'd like to play more of it.

    UDB heights problem (solved)

    If you right-click on a sector it should come up with a dialogue where you can edit tags, properties, etc. including heights. Shift+left click in Visual Mode will select lines of the same texture, then Ctrl+A to align vertically.

    Water Appreciation Thread

    Brutal Doom: Black Edition

    why not both?
  19. (cheers to @Dragonflyfor making this beautiful title screen) Ladies and gents, after a lot of blood, sweat, and linedefs, I present to you Technicolor Antichrist Box. I started this map as part of the 2019 NaNoWADMo challenge and didn't think I was ever going to pick it back up again. However, as COVID swept the globe and we became quarantined I finally decided to play around with this map again just to see what would happen. It's been an absolute joy to work on- no limits, no rules. Just void-style aesthetics with monsters aplenty to keep you moving. Warning: This is a slaughter style map so if you're not used to that sort of thing I'd recommend playing on Hey Not Too Rough or Hurt Me Plenty. Screenshot album: https://imgur.com/a/fWBS4Y9 THE NITTY GRITTY TECHNICAL STUFF: The file: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/s-u/technicolor Map: MAP01 Source Port: This map has been tested in GZDoom 4.2.0, and has been played by testers on version 4.1.1 as well. I would not recommend going to any versions earlier than 4.1.1 though, I have not tested it and therefore cannot confirm it would be able to run. If you are able to run it on earlier versions without issue please let me know. Supercharge, which is bundled with this file, also is tested in GZDoom 4.0 but cannot be confirmed to run on earlier versions. This map also makes heavy use of graphical and visual effects so it may lag a little in some spots on older machines. I've done my best to mitigate but due to the map's structure it's still a little janky on frame rate in some places. CREDITS: This map would not have been made possible without a LOT of help and support from the community. PLAYTESTERS: @Bridgeburner56, @Liberation , Dragonfly, @Jimmy, @wolfmcbeard, @SiMpLeToNiUm, @Guardsoul, Puzzlewell, @Insane_Gazebo, @reflex17, @NoReason , and@CyanoBlugron (if I missed anyone I'm sorry!) MUSIC: Title and Intermission: The Next Sunset by Teknoaxe Map: "Kontayjen" by @PRIMEVAL (bespoke) Supercharge mod by @Tango : this mod has been an absolute joy to map with so thank you so much for making it available for us! TEXTURES: Zoontex by Jimmy, OTEX by @ukiro, GothicTX, ArchTex, AATex, and some recolors done by myself. This map also uses a cyan palette that was linked to me by @antares031 and made bringing this map's visuals to life so much easier- thank you! OTHER CREDITS: @HexaDoken for their help with some graphics The Hellforge discord community and my Twitch community for being a wonderful set of people to vent to, share ideas, and generally just being awesome. Huge special thanks to Bridgeburner56- he's helped me in so many, many ways- gameplay and visual refinements, how to make a proper pentagram, testing a ton, and being a generally amazing human- he's been an amazing mentor and I would not be where I am today without him. I really hope you all enjoy it and please let me know if there's any bugs or other things you happen to find! CHANGELOG: -missed some items floating in the exit area, now fixed. -5.31.20 fixed an error with line portal heights, fixed a softlock and a node-builder error, got rid of the unnecessary Ultra-Randomized difficulty. -6.2.20 fixed some other small blockline and softlock issues, added a startup graphic, cleared up some pk3 errors due to wrong brightmap pathing. -6.5.20 removed two extraneous monster closets, fixed an issue with a key going into the ground. currently now RC1. -6.14.20 officially on /idgames archive, file link updated

    congrats!! :D
  21. If my memory serves me correctly, I don't think so. You could effectively make textures in different palettes by putting each palette into the WAD, one at a time, using SLADE and then exporting the textures/sprites as PNG, then re-importing them into the WAD (I'd recommend a pk3 or regular directory structure for something like this0, it would take a bit of effort though. From what I understand about palettes, there'd be conflicts if you used multiple palettes in the same WAD.

    How do you find inspiration for your maps?

    I either play different maps or I often look to Pinterest for inspiration- sometimes IRL structures actually can be fun to try and replicate so I'll either use them as a jumping-off point for a map or sometimes as a filler. I actually ended up re-creating a gazebo from a garden I'd visited sometime ago and it became the beginning point of one of my maps for Death's Dichotomy. I know a few other folks who will screenshot scenes from shows and movies as well, I don't ascribe to that as much but it may help you. Mainly, just do your best to keep your eyes and mind open whenever looking at art media because you'll never know what could inspire you to make something!
  23. threads encouraging NSFW/NSFL posting are really not a great idea on this forum, guys, okay? plenty of that elsewhere on the internet, it's really not needed here.

    Good weapon mods?

    can echo Supercharge being a good vanilla-adjacent mod. It's not just weapons, monsters as well, but most of the behavior is mostly the same. The only difference is that Supercharge doesn't go by the original Doom damage calculations, iirc, it makes damage more consistent (weapons and monsters both).
