I say two most overused words in titles would be "Hell" and "Space". I know, Doom is mainly composed of these two words, main elements and all. But that doesn't justify it, really. It would be like naming a romantic comedy "Funny Heartwarming" or to name a action movie "Good Guys Kickpunching Bad Guys With Guns And Cars", its just too obvious that it is set in Hell/Space/Hell Space/Space Hell. Whaddya got?

Hell on Earth. Just some living humans. All I ask. I have explained these few people I would like to see during gameplay 10000000 of times yet no one likes them. Seems everyone would like either: -Classic Doom games again -Somewhere in SPHESS -Prequel, when described, sounds like Classic Doom, BUT TOTALLY ISN'T CLASSIC DOOM -Earth yes, but raped so fucking hard Doomslayer would be the last human alive bc people cannot stand friendly NPCs and people want classic doom -seriously, why do you hate the concept of friendly NPCs so much? -they are humans just like you ffs

Are there any more historical records of Post Hell? ... Dayum I wanna make a wad about Terminator Marines digging around a cold dead husk of Post Hell.

While at it, potatoes make me puke... ... which doesn't sound like a much of a deal until you consider that almost 90% of meals in Slavlands have potatoes in them.

Expanding into other franchises? Recently I started getting into Warhammer 40k. I cannot play the tabletop games (money constraint, locational constraint, social constraint), but the computer games running under this franchise are some of the best. Lore/Fluff is really vast. There are also books, comics, even movies made by either big names or fans themselves. In one way or another, Doom and wh40k are quite similar, although once you delve in deep into both you can get compelled to ask, whenever someone says "Space Marines" to ask back "Which ones?" If you are just looking at playing games, wh40k can still help you out. Try the first edition of "Space Hulk", it is a DOS game, but you can play it in your browser for free, or you can download it and play it with Dosbox. It is a tactical "first person" shooter, a slower game than Doom, but boy I would surely like to see a updated version of that game in GZDoom. Google it for moar info.

Well, not roleplaying-only per se, but like a house or two, where people who wanna talk enter one of the houses and who wants to fight dishes it outside. Although by this point I am thinking only of a bar, with the bartender having a SSG behind the bar, and if there is a "security room" there would be a chaingun, a secret rocket launcher. Basically two three "games"... Well, by this point it is starting to sound like a "Old School" Doom map, a actual thing that has "games", custom weapons this and that. Look it up :P And I don't think I would be able to join until 1st. After that who knows, I have sudden fluctuations of free time.

We can still critscize unoriginal title names though :P

It IS unique, look at the list above! No Inferno in sight, therefore = quite original :P

According to slav science and half-italian cultural footprints, the ideal pizza is soft yet thick, kinda like bread. Best found(made): homemade. Then comes the sauce. Preferably a mix of veggies, mostly with tomatoes. Best found: at home. What toppings? Prosciutto, or actual bacon. Best found: ehh kinda everywhere in Croatia, but I like what I have. Cheese? Goat cheese, or any sort of cheese that isn't too fake, that is homemade. Best found: same with prosciutto, kinda everywhere that isn't megapolis of a city. Luxurious right? That is why I rarely eat that stuff. But when I do, one slice can be enough for the rest of the day, its that good :D

You should make a "roleplaying map" or something. Or I might do it? Either way, like the idea of virtual space discussion, i can feel it adds a dimension to a discussion, and no I cannot join in, bit busy :P

Pretty funny mod though. This comes from a dude who straight up despises hentai ("oh come OOONNN, USE A MOTHERFRICKIN EXTERMINATUS" - me reacting to that shit) and doesn't like pornography. I liked the mod because they remind me of all the jarring "porn parodies" but this time it got cute. Usually every other hentai has raperaperaperaperaperapeRAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPERAPE (if I say it enough times I turn into a ugly fat fricking monster straight from a hentai and I can go wipe myself out to save the world) I would like a date simulator out of this game. Maybe not include monsters at first, but some sort of narrative experience. Make it like Call of Dooty. Ohgodnowhat haveIsaidplsnopunsplsnopunsplsnopuns---~

Or any kind of hot liquid these days, that is. What (mega)wads you can recommend that are short and simple, yet fun? Not neccesarily pocket-sized maps. Not too much complex nor puzzley either. To consider how much simple, consider maps so simple that even after you finish them, you won't forget about the soup/tea/coffee/any beverage you left somewhere to cool down. So?

My brother once vacuumed the PC. We had to live a year and a half without one after that. Last summer my PC was overheating, realizing that there was so much frickin dust everywhere inside it it was horrifiying. I needed to clean up my PC, but couldn't just sit in the car and travel 30 kilometers for a small air pump, and some brushes, and knowing where I live, that range might extend by a double or triple value. Luckily I had some slav science at hand: What everyone can make, when missing a air pump, is to take two 2l plastic bottles, cut one's bottom off, take the "upper" part, and then stick the other bottle inside. Boom, dusting out cheaply. Then, I used my spare super soft toothbrush to do some cleaning, doing it quite carefully, but it paid up in the end. I could have replaced the thermal paste, but I didn't since I was afraid, but I had heard majonez could work wonders as a thermal paste replacement. So if you have to replace it, but cannot run or drive to town immediately, you can apply mayonnaise, as it will work great a day or two. Afterwards clean it with a sponge :P I wish I could say I used vodka for liquid cooling and stuff but nah, I won't lie, I have a old-by-modern-standards PC which wasn't meant for professional gaming. After I cleaned up the pc I kept the cases by side open, and placed a potato sack all around it so air can still go in, but nothing else other than it. Worked like a charm. Still does. I had placed back the cases by the side a few days later when the usual air temperature chilled down.

I guess I am so disconnected to Doom (I mean, not really doing much about it, but I like it) that I wouldn't put myself in any of these generations. Then I remember that I possess the privilege of knowing about Doom community, source ports, having some unreleased maps under my helmet, so I can gladly put myself into the second generation. Born 98, played some as a kid (really misty memory), and rediscovering it two-three years ago when I was still in high school (not anymore yay!), first by playing Doom 3 (which I still love to this day), then going down the line into the past, only Doom version I haven't played was for PS and whatever the other console was. I played the GBA version :D . I don't think I would like to be first-gen because like OP said, really difficult time to get shit done. Mapping is surely 5000x easier to do today than 20 years ago I imagine. Being able to do something in one window prompt today that required out-of-the-world effort to do before surely makes me proud to be second-gen. #team2ndgen

Yes.

Look at tis: DOOM INFINITY A set of levels SO FRICKIN HARD, it would require the effort if ALL DOOMERS in the WORLD to complete it. Like, a mapset so fricking tough you need to have thousands of real life Doomers to be playing alongside you, kinda like a Berlin rush towards the exit. Plus all players get one chance to play the mapset during the invasion, like, if that Mastermind nest gets you, you are done for and would probably have to wait two days before playing again. So whoever manages to reach the final point of the entire mapset is a hero, like, should be praised, and have his name itched somewhere, like "DoomsyDaisy reached this point first, with only 34% health, 9% armor points, and 22 bullets for his chaingun". This thing is impossible because, well, imagine the specs one needs to run a map with thousands of other players connected and God-Knows-How-Much-More demons out there. Second concept: PERSISTENT DOOM A MMOFPS where a player picks one of six factions or remains independent, and then engages in what can be described as usual Mount & Blade singleplayer campaign. Faction kings, emperors, presidents hold capitals, and can decide who would be their vassal, decide when to start warring, and have to obtain information from other players who would be their lords and advisors. Logistics would be tough. Faction leaders and lords would have to worry about obtaining ammo and supplies for their troops (other players, and the only bits as well), and to obtain supplies, they need money, and to obtain money they would have to pick up taxes, start up factories, farms and let corporations put a building (led by other players most likely), engage in trading, or just pillage and plunder other player's properties. So you can be a super skilled fighter, but without any resources for the long run, you are done for. The game would end only once a faction or a person or even a corporation owns everything. So we could have UAC conquer the entire world map and bring Hell into play, which could be intrepet as New Game+, as Hell doesn't need resources and are pretty much infinite unless the portals are closed. Or we could have the Freedoom scenario. Point is, having a faction owning everything automatically starts up another game session as something happens, a plague, zombies, rebellion, alien invasion, or in the case of UAC, hell itself. The fightning aspect of the game is split into three aspects: Battles, Sieges, and Miscellanious. Battles have players and/or bots fightning each other in a last-man-standing scenario. Whoever wins can keep prisoners, gets resources and money, and can celebrate. Sieges are obviously the same, only whoever wins keeps the keep/town/city/fort/village/farm/toilet or whatever. Miscellanious, they include Duels, and Tournament matches, and the ever present Arena mode. Players can hop in any time, but when arenas are devoid of at least 6 players, bots would fill up the spots, so whoever decides to spend some time fightning in the arena won't be lonely. Duels are arranged by players themselves, conditions and all. Tournaments grant the ultimate winner money and resources, along with a prize if the same player wins 10 tournaments in a row. Basically, tons of feudal politics, warring, honour-hurting, all done with Doom assets, probably expanded in some cases. Also, players can complete dungeons and quests when they first start up, before they start investing and building their armies. A player stripped down from cash can do manual labor, or get himself recruited into another player's army as a footman (at first). ... I am going to stop explaining here, I obviously over designed a concept that cannot be easily made. If someone is interested in this, then good. If not, no wonder this never got made before :DDD I have way too much free time at my hands.

Gree(n)t(h)ings and salutations, Since I have suddenly acquired a lot of free time, I have decided to try out a new, or should I say, rather ancient way of making sprites for Doom. How do I intend to do this? By making props and taking pictures of them! Yeeess, yeeess, you don't have to lecture me on it. I know I can draw them or render a model of them in Unity perhaps, and then make sprites out of them, but I don't feel like doing what everyone else is doing. But Korbi, if use camera, u r noob and u hav no qualitet.DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE, HUH?! DO I!? DO I!? Suddenly, I started to love making props again, so I told myself "why not?" (rhetorical question) Either way, I would like to know what kind of a camera did the guys at id use to make their glamourous sprites. I do not intend to OBTAIN one, oh god no. I would like to know the tech details of them and how could I adapt my smartphone to it. Heck, even if that proves untrue, I could still try and obtain the quality scale and adapt to that.

Good points there. I had something in mind for this, and I know video capturing doesn't mean that work is already done, as these props I am building are definitely going to be touched upon further (the whiteness of paper and tape has to be dealt with, plus other stuff as well). But this whole thing fascinates me, dunno why, and so I would like to know the tech aspects behind it, and if I could replicate the effects of it, I guess I would be happy with myself. My idea is to snap some pics with my smartphone, and downgrade and scale down my pictures accordingly, and once the whole readjusting is done, start applying filters and whatnot, and then cut out stuff accordingly and make sprites as usual. Is there any modern software that could be used to "scale down" pictures like that? What kind of "ratio" of stuff I should consider when scaling down pictures (like, lets assume a doom sprite is 128x128 or smtin, which modern resolution should I use and scale down etc etc etc.)? I am basically putting up a sidequest in helping me with providing all the useful tech info :D

Technically cereal is a dish and milk is cereal sauce. While at it, is ketchup a smoothie?

I liek chainguns. Budda-budda-budda. Either way, feels like a perfect hitscan weapon. Pummels away, not too quick yet not too slow. Uses "common" ammo, keeps away monsters. Plus it is the most mysterious weapon in the arsenal. Why? Go ahead, and tell me in which direction do the barrels spin. *finger guns* *start spinning*

Yall complicating it too much. Control button, choose which wads, drag'n'drop onto a executable, preferable a shortcut made beforehand on the desktop or somewhere. I have one folder filled with all my source port executable short cuts, and another folder with everything else doom related, so I just drag'n'drop stuff from the "main" folder(the one with the rest of the doom stuff) onto one of the shortcuts from the shortcut folder, and bam, done.

*barges in reading a book called "How To Be A Well Respected & Extremely Popular Member Of Doomworld"* Okay... Huh... So... Alright! Ahem. Your post gave me mental cancer and you have simultaneously lowered everyones expectations down to a bare minimum lower than teared up sponges could possibly do. You fine sir should never see the light of day, and I hope you die very quickly and violently. Guys, can I get my custom title now? I think I have proven my worth here. After all, I had managed to succesfully put up with something that wasn't even my buisness, and I had berated someone on something I should have ignored :D

So far every comment section regarding this matter always had at least one comment that said "Fucking SJWs again"

Same goes for you. You shouldn't force a mapper to do what you want to, unless you are paying them to do it or are just under your wing. Like I said, my maps, my rules. No one should ever play my doom maps. Frankly, I will never be a good Doomer. So I am taking my sweet chances to outright kill the joy of speedruns or put up speed bumps. I cannot go around and tell people how should they map unless they ask, it is their own maps and own style. I was talking about "those who shovel their way through" types of speedrunners. I don't understand. In vanilla Doom and Doom 2 maps most maps can be completed really quickly, like, E1M1 is one mad dash away from completeing. Am I a skilled player who invested a lot of hours into playing E1M1 if I can finish it real quick? Did I beat the entire id software by doing so? Had I outsmarted them? No. Not even close. MAP01 can be finished in what takes to drink a small glass of water. Getting 100% is however, much more different. Did you guys mean speedrunners who are also completionists? I think you did. Otherwise, you wouldn't really defend everyone who once dashed through a map when they were low on health but couldn't grab that medikit. (also why does everyone care about my maps all of sudden?)

Since when speedrunners are synonimous with skilled players? Anyways, I am just punishing people who rush. Those who shift their gears a bit down, adapt to the curve, should (in theory) find it quite smooth and enjoyable. Believe me, I can tell a difference between putting on a roadblock and a speedbump. Like I said beforehand, timed hordes. Those who would rush would get swarmed. Those who stop, wait a bit, drag the horde around, and flee/kill em all are getting unscathed. And "sniper fire", and similar tactics that throw bricks at speedrunners' wheels. Basically, I find it okay if the speedrunner stops, even for a literal second. Means they are respecting the system, even if they are just doing it to get ahead, kinda like traffic lights. There is something so jarring and provoking when the speedrunner does not stop to me. Like, I feel like the speedrunner is insulting the creator when he doesn't stop moving, unless the creator made it a rule that stopping = insta death. Yeah, there are records to be broken, but all I see is a guy drifting through a red light. Are we mixing up speedrunners with really good players? Is it me, is it you, John Wayne? (might had fucked up that reference)
