I kind of had a thought as to what this would link to. I can't say I was wrong.

So that's why I didn't recognize the area. It has been a long time since I've played Gothic 2. I'd say it was one of the best game experiences I've had in my life.

In the woods eh? Watch out for Wargs, those things are tough.

For being 20 years old, this game is still pretty nice to look at.

But 2 + 2 does equal 5. This fact is even proven in a Where's Waldo book:

Something seems wrong here, just not sure what...

Je ne parle pas Francais Le maison et dan l'oiseau l'citron at vert that's my butchering of French. Canada is a bilingual country and I had French class up to grade 9. I know a mix of various French words, mostly learned from food labels.

I can do it, so I imagine a rather large chunk of Doomers can also do it.

People can be so damn shitty. My dad's 1.5 pugs were rescues (one is mixed with something, but is mostly a dark pug). It is so hard to look at them and think how someone could just neglect them.

Pugs are abominations and every time I visit my dad's house I get to be reminded of that. Gotta love them, but hate how breeding has effed them over.

By some weird twist in fate, I've been playing Pharaoh again. The last time I played it must have been at least 6 years ago, since I could never get it to run on my last laptop. For the half of a person that cares, I played through the base game's 'peaceful' missions on normal difficulty (last time I played was on easy). I started again to play the military ~half of the game, which is a fair bit more stressful since I'm no good at the military aspect. I also started again the peaceful missions, but turned the difficulty up a notch, to hard. Needless to say, it didn't take long to be reminded why I loved the game in the past. I wonder when I'll get back to Zeus and get to playing Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom.

There is always Phoc.... Oh wait, you don't want obscure puzzles.

A bag of baby carrots and a small box of Smarties to satiate my sugar craving

I just do edibles most days that I have nothing else going one. I do them in the afternoon/evening, so it's not like I'm getting high all day every day. I do what I've heard is quite a low dose of THC in the edibles, but they do a good job on me. I like them because they are cheap and there is no smoke to seep out into my apartment building's hallways. It has been legal here for quite a few years now. I think you are limited to buying/carrying 30 grams, but that is probably more than enough for anyone.

Nothing in life is certain except the end of life. If Doomworld did die, I'm sure most of us would find some new home, somehow. It would suck to lose over two decades of post content, but it wouldn't be the end of the world (well, it would be the end of Doomworld). The comment about a lot of veteran members leaving. I wouldn't think too much about. Sure, it sucks to notice someone isn't around anymore, someone who's posts you enjoyed, a person you liked. For a community that has been around this long, the active members really are subject to change over time. As for the number of staff/moderator members, I think it is all fine. I rarely ever see any posts that need obvious mod attention, so that shows there are enough mods to do the job. Not having many updates to the site is kind of a Doomworld staple. I remember for the longest time the forums were running on some archaic version of vBulletin for reasons. I'd say try not to worry about it too much. Whatever happens, happens. Doomworld is still here today, and tomorrow is another day. I don't know why I felt an urge to reply. I'm usually just a member roaming the outsides. Maybe I feel thoughtful this evening, or something.

It has been a long ass time since I have bought a game, but today that changed. I noticed Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom was 50% off on GoG, so I picked it up. It will be a while before I get to playing it, but the price was nice.

Just two cropped images from Where's Waldo

My coffee maker crapped out on me, so I finally went out to buy a replacement yesterday. It was a cheap one, but it does the main thing I want it to do; make coffee.

Oh how greatly I could be expanding my mind with the thousands of books available at just one of the many public libraries around me. I could be learning about a dizzying array of non-fiction topics, the possibilities are almost limitless. I could learn about many of the world's cultures and histories. I could expand my brain with many books that delve deep into philosophy and other grand topics. I could go to the fictional side and have many great adventures and mysteries. Oh so many ways to exercise my brain. I'm working on the third Where's Waldo book. One of the ones I had as a kid.

Oh man, that is one of my favourite games. The only things I don't like are the military aspect and how later culture requirements get ridiculous. I haven't played it in a very long time though, so havent' had it running on modern computers. I do remember that the music can cause the game to crash. I can't remember the fix exactly I found when I had it running on Windows 7. I just remember a replacing a dll file with one from Zeus(kind of a successor to Pharaoh). Oh, I found a post that explains things: https://www.gog.com/forum/pharaoh_cleopatra/instafreeze/post15 . Not sure if that is what is causing your crashes. When I had it running on XP, it never crashed on me, so I have a memory of it being a very stable game otherwise.

For some reason, this amuses my dumb mind greatly. Now I'm imagining Doomguy talking to a suit of green armour.

I've messed around with level editors in quite a few games, but nothing as extensive as Doom. I think the OG Starcraft is one I did the most with. DRoD! I love that game. It is kind of like Doom, in that user content is keeping the game alive. Not to say the official 5 games aren't worth playing and will take quite a bit of time to master.

I'll take that. Looking back, Sodding Death was quite cramped. And yeah, hard to go lower than Gene Bird's contributions there.

Your data will be flyin'. This new laptop is my first SSD and it is quite amazing. My old laptop would take quite a few minutes to fully boot up (when the cpu and disk are done doing whatever startup stuff they do). Restarting for an update isn't much of a hassle now, with a SSD.

I guess this is abandoned at this point. There is some things to play around with, so I guess I will upload the file in whatever state it was in. Link here
