Marisa the Magician

Ah, like Metroidvania? Soulsborne?

Just call them Doom clones. If we're going back to that era, might as well use the same terminology.

Most of my knowledge of pinball is limited to CptSledge's tuesday streams. What I like the most is that LOUD ASS SLAPPING noise when you get an extra game.

Well, there's Xaser, who has definitely made some VERY impressive tunes.

I mean, Unreal hasn't even been mentioned a single time in this thread. :P

'O' of Destruction / Circle of Death

A cover of Scattered Ashes with more intense trumpets, please.

Ahahahahahahaha!

Ah yes, Marisa, goddess of "borrowing".

I was young and dumb and didn't really speak English, and I couldn't read manuals or anything so... I didn't know you could use the mouse, or that you could run, or strafe. My first experience playing shareware doom was truly hellish and boy, I never even got past E1M8 back then with how awkwardly I was playing, all because of my ignorance.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that we need more of this in Doom wads.

Can't go wrong with UT's arsenal. It's far more varied.

1920x1200, because 16:10 is the only valid aspect ratio. On top of that, such a resolution is perfect for pixel-accurate 4:3 stretching.

Well, the fun thing about that is that most of the detailing on said weapons is on the right side, so when held right-handed you don't see it. Plus both the Gina and Kurgan models (which were the first player models to be made) are left-handed.

Oh, it's a gman video, that explains a lot.

That video thumbnail bothers me tremendously. Why is Gina (who by the way is left-handed) holding the UT flak cannon with her right hand?

I've experimented with something like this in my early days of writing fanfiction. At some point in recent years I realized that it really isn't going to work out and it'd result in very angry people vomiting lawsuits all over the place, so I discarded the idea. Stuff like Ready Player One kinda got away with it, somehow.

MIDIs are good, but I personally want to see more love for tracker music.

I can definitely agree on that second point, I've seen the state it's in through various leaks. That thing is an ungodly mess.

Look, what really bothers me of English is that as a native Spanish speaker, the vowels to me go "ei", "i", "ai", "ou" and "iu". Like what the hell even is that all about?

id's engines do have the advantage that older versions have been open sourced and served as the basis for countless source ports. One can't say the same about Unreal Engine. Timmy-boy has come up with some excuses as to why UE1 simply can't be open sourced, namely in regards to middleware. Surely, he must be talking about the Galaxy audio engine... which could easily be just replaced by the OpenAL code from the linux version of the engine, right? It's not like the Doom Engine had the same exact problem and DMX was simply stripped away from the source release.

It's currently impossible to port those weapons, from a technical standpoint. Many of them depend explicitly on (sometimes procedural) skeletal animation.

God damn it

Yeah, YouTube's content id can match "covers" of copyrighted songs.

I'm an unfortunate victim of this.
