There's a lot of obscure progression in many 2023 wads I've noticed. Wish I could play several of them but WORK FUCKING SUCKS I would hate to take months to play just one wad but it feels like I got no choice (unless I can sneak a game in during off-time).

Doomwiki Secret list descriptions checklist:

Finished and on a doc:
-TNT The Way We Remember It
-All DBPs for the ones without level pages so far

-DBK02 and DBK03

-Jamal Jones Trilogy

To do:

-PUSS series (going to do secret descriptions for all the ones with pages so far)
-WMC series (same as above)

-Maybe a few other ones.

Basically at the point I'm currently in I've got a doc ready for when the level pages for those are up. I vaguely remember knowing how to create some level pages on the wiki but I'm currently way too busy this week with work and I need to get my phone fixed at the moment to make some. Still, this is where I'm currently at.

I wonder what originated this (appears if you hover over the blue arrow).

Secret descriptions getting too much to handle on Doomwiki apparently. But you can't be Hiding the Secrets forever.

Best automap face.

Is it better to be a brave idiot or a cowardly genius?

Cool, new slaughtermap on idgames just dropp...

I can't believe Tim Feerick is dead. Had this song on repeat for those delicious bass openers. 

Did Doomwiki's clock break? I made two recent changes and it says I did them two hours ago.

Did the most recent one at 9:32 EST (probably approximately 2 hours before greenwich time but still) and when I checked the Recent Changes it also says I did it at 5:38 which also isn't really right.

We really should give more attention to ilkallio's MIDIs. Plasma is a real nice creeper tune that grows well for E1M1 of Realm of Parthoris, and then Skeleton (on E1M4) is dirty and groovy awesomesauce.

GUESS WHO JUST REACHED THE 27 CLUB

oh wait...

I wonder if I'm the only one who hates seeing the Michael Jackson popcorn gif or other reaction gifs.

I mean it doesn't really contribute anything to a discussion anyways, but whoever posts it could post something more informative.

(don't attack me)

Holy shit.

That latest Rain page, it got me. This whole week the three pages of the comic were bound to be some heavy stuff, but damn. This really does mean everything.

Okay I'm not feeling depressed or suicidal now. I've finally landed a great position and I'm hoping it will work out in the end.

I just wanna melt in my car so bad now.

God damn it.

I don't know if I'm going to live past 2021 after all.

Yesterday I narrowly managed to save a kid from committing suicide just outside a grocery store. This is the fourth time this year I had to save a kid from killing themselves.

This is taking a toll on me. I've been thinking about it all night without sleeping.

Congrats @Lüt!

Alright video card superheroes and superheroines I need your help.

Is AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series good for playing heavy slaughtermaps like Cosmogenesis on GZDoom (4.5.0)? I've been following this thread's advice and I'm seeing some better progress but I'm still getting issues.

Processor btw is AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.21 GHz if needed.

I am never changing this. Ever.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, everyone!

History of Doomworld Forums drama (I'm posting this cause I want to aight):

1999-2004: Doomworld was a young site, with many users of old no longer being here for various reasons such as moving on but then again there still is more than a handful who are still the hardcore Doom enthusiasts of they were years ago. At the time, there were quite a few dramas that have been left to fade, such as python_junkie = crendowing thing, the stupidity level thread, King REoL's crap, and the infamous "ball shit snakes" incident which is still a Doomworld meme. Also the Shadowrunner thing. One of the most infamous examples there.

2005-2010: Site grows well, plenty more members came in and did or did not understand things depending on the user in general, which is okay. Main dramas were over certain wad projects, the most famous ones being darkexodus and Glassyman perhaps. Also mattbratt. Plenty of idiots thought they made super cool stuff except it wasn't well received and butthurt commenced. There was also the fall of Newdoom, the "nickbakery", CjWraith79 (or whatever his name was), as well as KDIZD drama.

2011-2015: Drama still tended to get mixed in with some major forum projects here and there, if I recall there was the D-D leaving CC4 thing, the DTS-T dramas (there were two, one on sourceports and the other because some guy kept whiteknighting it), several TNT2 dramas, plus one on DTWID. Lakisoft's Ultimate Doom unofficial patch was him basically pulling a darkexodus. LittleTemple thing happened here, as did human body allegory. Numerous BDL moments were sporadic, as well as the popularity of Brutal Doom causing some stirs on occasion. My favorite drama is still the idSoftware981 posts on "Doom 4 Should Have" thread, though.

2016-present: Doomworlders got really political in 2016 and always got into arguments, which basically was the reason a moratorium was drafted in order for people to STFU and take it somewhere else. Aside from politics, not a whole lot of drama really occurs unless someone was either spamming or really was triggered or if they just wanna be asshole. There were two notable instances of speedrunners cheating during this time period, with one heck of a post from BK. There was the recent plagiarism fiasco. Also can't remember if the anime avatar apocalpyse happened in 2015 or 2016.

I don't intend to start drama with this post. I am just so interested in the history of things that have happened here. It's been fun reading all the crazy stuff that has happened over the years and I remember a whole lot of it.

Can I ask why you're following my thread if you don't like my reviews or
