Oh, nice. Time for me to fade back into obscurity, then!

Not sure if this brings any value to your endeavor at all Quasar but the player 1 start locations in e1m1, e2m1 and e3m1 all share the same location as the PC version. In your emulator player 1 current Y position is at 0024, 0120 and 5A9A, X position is 0022, 011E, and 5A96. Can't really truly "freeze" these values without it causing renderer problems and crashes, but freezing the values will definitely keep the player still in a certain location. Might be able to find these values as a pair in ROM with a hex editor nearby where your linedef and sector tool if it outputs the address and then at least determine the player 1 start object. It's also early and my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, this may have been super obvious.

Played a lot of Laser Blast! on Atari 2600. Montezuma's Revenge too.

Bummer this engine got repurposed into a commercial release, would've loved to see an official source release. Very impressive for the little machine, though.

ActRaiser Renaissance. I had no idea this came out last autumn. Banger of a game, and I got to feel old about something knowing I was like 5 when I played the original (I'll be 36 in a short amount of time.) The new soundtrack is great, with the option of playing with the old soundtrack if it is desired is wonderful. Not a huge fan of the tower defense stuff that was added in but more ActRaiser is always better heh.

I think the last one I went to was ZZ Top back in 2017...? Not sure on the date, but it has been forever.

I don't like doors. Does this make me a Baron?

Full beard, mustache, head of hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair. Sometimes the mustache is annoying and will get trimmed back a bit, as I dislike something tasting my food or drink before I do.

Zombi by Lucio Fulci is one I always recommend in topics like this. Left a really, really memorable impression on me. All the rest of these are good recommendations and I'll have to watch them (except for Serbian Film. fuck that atrocity)

"Somebody Set Up Us The Bomb" from Mock 2. It's like my day job. Small problem with big, slow moving problem and typos. Fix big problem and more come in.

no no no no no, it stands for I DON'T KNOW FUCKING ANYTHING

I've been getting into using my smoker regularly. Smoked meats are generally good, I have been really enjoying smoked salmon lately. Just take the filet and coat the meat side with salt and pepper, then after the smoker is at temperature just let it go at about 160 deg F / 71 deg C for 3 hours with oak chips.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :( If only someone could have warned us :((((((((((((((( Fucking crypto bullshit. I shouldn't have to wait and lottery to get a PS5 or a decent graphics card for a whole year because of these assholes and their shit practices. Good riddance.

Egad, it's a lettuce-powered squealing oscilloscope! (I had a couple of pigs for quite a few years, god I love them.)

The song is laughing at us.
