    What are you currently reading?

    I see that you haven't forgotten the face of your father. Good ;)

    What are you currently reading?

    Great book. I lent it to a girl and actually bugged her five times in total for her to give it back. Perhaps unnecessarily, but hell, I want my Gatsby! My current reading: Wine for dummies Debating the Ethics of Immigration Teach Yourself Mathematics (if you can call it ''reading''...) The Little Black Dress: How to dress perfectly for any occassion (it's good to know about basic women fashion I think) On hold (I have no access to these currently but I'm in the middle with them): Hugo's ''Miserables'' Stephen King's Dark Tower, part four, I think. I don't have access to it currently so it's on hold I also just got through ''goodbye things'', a minimalism guide and inspiration book. Minimalism is really inspiring for me - I'm slowly getting rid of my books currently and only keeping valuable, rare ones, books I wanna return to, or books I can't get at any library. I don't plan to keep or actually purchase any of the books I mentioned here. (edit) I forgot to mention, but I was disappointed ''goodbye things'' didn't end with the author telling you to throw his book out.

    Games like Project IGI?

    Please recommend me games that are similar to Project IGI 1 & 2, or Specnaz Project Wolf. First person 'Tactical' shooters where you get to play as a one-man army. Preferably something from the 1998-2005 era. Or don't! This is just a request. ;)

    Share a random fact about yourself

    Bruh. My theory is that the guy was a repeated doer of this and the admin stopped giving a shit. Computer cafes rock btw. I feel lucky that I got to experience some of that. I'm not sure if there's a lot of them anymore.

    Post your Desktop Background

    Source please :) So here are my backgrounds. The lucario one is from my linux pc. I change the wallpaper every monthly and the theme is usually furry or nature. Then there's custom Windows XP background from my 2gb ram pc i've revived recently. I plan to stick to custom wallpapers on XP.

    Languages thread!

    Polish is my native language. I'm fluent in English. German on A2 or B1 level. Here's some of my methods and views. I'm currently reading a book in this language called "Einer kam durch" or something like that (Using DeepL for translation sometimes.). There was a movie made about it, "The One That Got Away". To practise, I joined some German speaking discords and now try to talk to German people online when I can ( I'm not abusing anyone for free lessons. ) My grammar is terrible and I put together sentences mostly based on what feels right in the context. Knowing English helps a lot. Add to that the fact that Poland has many 'loan words', it's obvious that there's hardly any easier language I could learn, except maybe for Czech and stuff like that. Also, I've been to Germany like 5 times and have had it in school for years ( Though never paid much attention, since it always felt like it was starting from ABCD, numbers and before I knew it - deep diving into akkusativs, dativs, past perfekt prequemium perfektums wtf etc. Got so discouraged + they were boring as hell. My notebooks from the time are just doodles on top of drawings with random vocab I didn't know thrown into the mix. =D I'd love to join a German minecraft beta server, but that's very niche. ( By the way, from my time on some server I've found out that it is eastern Europeans that are mostly interested in the old versions, and hardly anyone else. ) In college I have German once a week, mostly reading comprehension and putting together sentences. I appreciate it and pay attention, even though it's at 8pm after a full day of classes. Overall it's a nice language, often made boring by school, though. From my time in Germany, I quickly learned that only less than half of the people you meet speak English, sooo.... anyhow. I'd like to learn Finnish. The country and the language itself is interesting to me. For now I know how to count, days of the week and basic words... I'd like to use something like Duolingo to learn it, but not Duolingo - it's boring, restraining, repetitive and overall sucky. Perhaps I should start from getting some used self-learning books? Maybe a tutor, but don't know if I want to throw money at this language just yet. Same goes for German.
  8. I like these volvos a lot. They look amazing in blue! Myself I have a 2002 Volvo S60 2.4T. Somehow I like the straight back of the S80 better though. Wanna switch? =D Also got an old 2stroke motorcycle that I plan to register this year. Might exchange it for a lada sometime or just plain sell it, though.
  9. Oh, thanks for the context. Makes more sense now I suppose. The other songs you mentioned are better in my opinion... I also know "Our House" from the radio.
  10. Cool video but... the music is terrible. I can't imagine liking it even if I lived back then.

    GZdoom update broke my menu

    That worked, tysm!

    GZdoom update broke my menu

    So I updated GZDoom and the menu size got bigger. This is a problem because when I play mods with more menu options they go off screen. I don't know how this happened and I don't know how to fix this. Scale settings don't help :/ Please tell me what I should do.

    Neptune, My First Major WAD!

    Fuunnn stuff, however, there's a small issue with the second level ( Quarry). There is a switch that makes some pillars rise up so you can run over them into the exit, right ? What happens if a poor soul like me presses the button repeatedly? The pillars rise up to the ceiling and you can no longer run over them, so just imagine my confusion :P Secrets were nice.. I can imagine that it was frustrating to work with the sky in the fourth level lol... I have the same issue in my maps and it's hard to give up on an idea just because the sky looks funky with it.
  18. I really like gothic doom, but couldn't find any wads made with it in mind so I made this little level. It uses the gothic doom textures. The zip file includes everything you need to run the wad like you're meant to, but you can just load the textures and play it with whatever. It was supposed to be a part of a level pack, but I can't find the motivation to make more levels. Just waltz around as you avoid lost souls, fireballs and gunfire! Tested with: GZDoom ( Found no issues. ) Zandronum ( A possible little texture glitch in the final room. ) prboom ( one or two textures might be glitched... the gothic guns and monsters don't load for me on it. ) This map was made with deathmatch in mind, but I never tested it :D Fun facts about the wad: - It will take you from 3 to 5 minutes to beat. - It might kick your ass if you pretend secrets don't exist. - It has difficulty levels if UV is too tough for you.

  19. I hope my input helps. When ? I don't know. We had our first PC when I was 9, I shared it with 3 siblings. Non-violent video games ? Minecraft is good... roblox maybe ( it has violent games but it is mostly targeted towards kids so I don't know. ) When I was 10 I started playing Star wars battlefront II. It wasn't that violent as it had no blood. I don't know whether the modern battlefront has blood or not. I started to put my english into practise on it. When I discovered minecraft in 2011 I got pretty much addicted to playing video games and my grades sunk, so be careful. My parents never allowed me to play games that were rated above my age. When my brother bought an FPS we actually had to wait to be 16 to play it... perhaps you should pay attention to pegi ratings etc. ? If I had kids, rather than being concerned about the level of violence in their games, i'd be more concerned with how much time they spend on them :D it's easy to get addicted... I think I would limit the playing time to weekends only. That's just my 2 cents.

    Short gothic doom map

    Well, you don't actually need to find any of the secrets to have enough ammo for everything, as long as you don't waste shots you should have just enough to kill everything in your way ( I tested and made sure for that ). HMP gives you more ammo, of course. Thank your for testing the map on vanilla @Sir Hattington. I don't know why that glitch occurs nor I know how to fix it D: And thanks to all that played or are going to play :)

    Short gothic doom map

    GZdoom is the best one to use for this wad. You need to use the GOTHICTX file for textures, my wad itself and everything else is optional.

    What If Doom Was Real?

    It would be tough. Guns would be plenty ( thanks to former human type monsters) but the hitscanners can put you out of the action in one shot - and we have a lot of open areas on earth. Dodging the fireballs wouldn't be as easy as we might think; a lot of people haven't dodged a ball since highschool... and i'm sure getting hit by one is enough to kill you. Depending on how bad the invasion is I think the militaries would be able to deal with the problems. Lots of medals to be had. Pretty much this. I can't think of any monster in doom that is able to destroy doors or walls so there ya go =D If rescue doesn't come it's gonna be tuuuufff! I HATE the noise of a chainsaw D:

    Potato PC Games Recommendations?

    Fallout New Vegas for potato PC's? I have a better computer than OP and I was getting like 30 fps on it. I don't recall it being optimised well. I second the half-life series... though I don't think they have much replay value D: You can get into old total war titles. My favourite is Rome Total War and I always return to it, has a small but interesting multiplayer community surrounding it if you like online play, campaigners get rekt hard and you have to learn to play cwb style ( skirmish ! ) if you wanna survive :D Or 31k though personally i'm not into that. After you get good at playing on cwb rules you will be unbeatable on the campaign. There's also Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead which I used to play all the time.

    My first nonlinear wad

    I'm happy that someone enjoyed this little wad I made. Thank you for your feedback. In some places I did intend pickups to be something that would encourage players to go forward but in some places I guess the pickups could be more visible. Good to see that some traps worked though I admit that they can be rather clumsy... the archvile trap is perhaps the clumsiest. I put 3 of them in there to punish players for doorcamping, but it seems like most people will just take them on. When I playtested the maps I just ran away from them then as fast as I could and romped around in the final part of map02 'till I got to the exit. Some textures are misaligned... yeah I could have worked on that more. I have no excuse, I'll pay more attention to that in the future. Some of you found map02 to be confusing, some not. I think the problem is that the main paths don't feel like main paths. For me it was always obvious that the small door in the monster closet leads to the dungeon with yellow keys. Looking back, I should have made the door bigger and more accessible so the player knew what he was getting himself into. Same with the nukage tunnel which is a second main path you can take in map02. It can feel like it's just a big secret area when it's not. I suppose I should have made it more clear where teleports take you. One gimmick that you might notice is that the three doors that needed a switch to be pressed in order to be opened had the satyr face above or next to them, which means that the switch for the door is also a satyr face but it's somewhere else... I think I could have executed that better if all switch-doors looked the exact same and had a special texture. Yeah, the difficulty curve is a bit messed up. Should've made it harder I suppose. I actually wanted the map to be a bit more difficult. For me it was difficult enough, because I might not be as pro as some people are. Making outside areas is difficult for me. They require a lot of planning when designing, but I get many random ideas which just feel right along the way and the outside areas block me. I want it to feel like the entire base has walls, is tall and doesn't just feel like a room with the sky texture slapped on the ceiling. I could design using 3d floors/spaces but that's just avoiding the problem. I feel like I need some in depth tutorials on that actually O_o
  25. My previous maps were very linear, had too many doors and the secrets were boring. In this wad I try to improve on that. My wad replaces MAP01 and MAP02 in DOOM II. Map 2 has custom music ( MCR - Thank you for the venom, I got it from freemidi.org ). Overall I took inspiration from the original doom levels. Tested on gzdoom, zandronum and boom. If you decide to play with boom there will be a couple missing textures but nothing game breaking... if there are more bugs than that, please let me know. I do not include a txt file because i'm not sure whether this is the final version of the wad. It is non-linear (especially, or actually just, the second map ) but if you wanna 100% it, there's a possibility for that. Story: fucktower.rar
