unpopular recent gaming opinions

the UIs in dishonored and prey are depressing in the way that all the panels need to be slightly moving, like dishonored's tendency to flip between two different title and paragraph justifications while yr reading the mission info or prey's slight panel tilt as you walk through yr inventory... like... do I really need to be distracted to this extent? am i actually that much of a hamster that I find this an improvement over statically presented data

Picnic! At the Dungeon

(gang vox) THREE STARS! GOOD BUT FLORD x12

playing Prey 2017, it's really nice but I'm on console and fighting anything in 3d on a joypad is just miserable to me. but im ever so happy wandering around dark places putting old hard drives in my inventory and reading other people's emails

i feel like this is wrong era stuff, i know there are some killer players who can do doom 4 on nightmare on a pad etc but I cannot learn how to use one at any level of skill, too many buttons and weird rules about holding it. gimme that sega megadrive pad i have my license for that but don't ask me to press down a directional control and if you bind that to sprint i will never do anything but walk

and all the buttons do something hahaha i can't bear it

modern games are too complicated for me give me something simple like morrowind or ufo

messing with grimrock dungeon design and my doom brain is complaining cos

lol
where is my mancubus

cant join my gang unless you can two-hundred-shot a cyberdemon

why are there so many meta-posters who go into a thread and tell you why yr thread isn't a good idea? just go back in yr cave, your commentary is worthless <3

.bex to make you regen 1hp every five seconds while standing still or running? can it be done using long delays on the marine's frames + the health bonus, or isn't that callable from whacked?

i've been feeling like ultra-slow regen would be a welcome feature in my tyson-centric, hot and cold maps. ~sixteen minutes to go from 1% to 200% health is pseudo-punitive enough that no-one would play like that i assume

hey thanks for this really nice review :3 i got such horrible feedback on this map at first that i'm glad you've been all the way through it and seen what it's about <3

tnt evilution is sort of a funny mess but I think Steel Works is one of the best commercially released maps and is confirmed yakfak-core for having maintenance tunnels and a useless spiderdemon. i award it the gold medal

doom mods need daggerfall's devil may care decorating strats
2d billboarded cats dogs and pigs
naked people especially naked pagan people
lampposts occupying the same grid coords as trees

hundreds of extra prop people who stand around pubs or castles or outside dungeons and refuse to talk to you for reasons of unexplained distaste

torches and candles are kinda running their course

99 iq: pip install pygame
100 iq: pip install pygame --pre

how are you meant to know you're supposed to use the second one hahahahahaha hahahdfjdgyhfsuvfdsu

i think tnt map08 is *generally* a silly map that has no idea what it's doing but mm that bit with the metal staircase that you can walk around both sides is kinda fascinating... I love extra walkspace, I love those places in the forts in morrowind where you can walk under the spiral staircases until the ceiling gets too low, I love being able to walk through alleys in city maps, I like cupboards and deadends and little maintenance passages with windows you can peek up through so you can see the floor of the places you're really meant to be... and it's just so impossible to make a map of that and then present it to anyone else cos they'd be lost in one second flat lol

when people complain about sewer maps i feel like they have superhero syndrome sorry

need to release dontplay.wad some time

switched computers, just tried to speedmap and discovered i didn't have doom or any of the iwads or slade or any doom level editing software lol

should i stick with gzdb or should i learn dbx? i keep asking this i know but it's so hard to learn a new one and i remember recoiling at the lack of shift-click: select all matching contiguous textures in visual mode to the point of total allergy. but now i think i just had it set up wrong

"just a cold" i can barely move my legs lol i cant think straight, colds are fucking horrible

everybody movin
everybody movin
everybody movey movey movey movinnnnnnn

feat my it file music from earlier today oh god its so loud in dsda doom hahahahAHahshasduihbvj

64x64 wall texture I just designed from scratch. useful in many scenarios

harmony's gnice, 8 outta 10 gentle adventure mapping (maybe a different story on UV?) only really losing points for doing all the duke nukem 3d mapping conceits cos I don't like that game one bit haha. new sprites look cool too although i think the basic humanoids are just too minimal, too slim for the game's presentation in terms of how much space they take up

old thing of mine, was replaying

MAP05 is ridiculous, I think I have only ever seen RD beat it x3 attempt no landing there, I don't know what I was thinking

MAP01, 02 and 06 are casually difficult; 1 and 6 are forgiving, 2 is like monster condo-to-lite slaughter difficulty but with weird bits
03 and 04 have moments of low space (04 has at least four arch viles)

but MAP 05 - The Casserole is just nuts. there's no way I can beat it hahahaha

feat music by aanaaanaaanaaana (a collective im in but not always my music)

see previous post x3

hmm reverse building a set of steps by having a bunch of remote control sectors neighbour a single closing door with linedefs for each that make them Raise to lowest ceiling, once, so you have to walk forward at a constant pace to create a return staircase leading to a secret, and yr walking forward into danger, like a group of mancubi

applied an algorithm of my own devising to all the original Doom sprites. this is what the original artists wanted the Baron of Hell to look like

find it hard to think of anything useful to say in threads about difficulty... like "How do I improve", "how do you make hard maps", etc. literally the least meaningful part of the game to me
