Likewise, thanks big G. If I'm going to be honest I'm actually using this thread as a way to gauge what command-line parameters people use, but aren't added as proper "options" in most launchers (ex. ZDL) like -skill and -warp and -file are. This is for yet another attempt at programming Doom launcher - but this time I do it better, and with an actual niche to make it worth using.

Topic is as title suggests. I'm talking stuff like -nomonsters or -warp. I'm expecting a general roster for all of us including the aforementioned -record, -skill, and -warp - but there could be a few people that use specific commands for niche purposes.

i know. but i want to try my best to preach in this day and age a sense of understanding and to give at least a legitimate chance for tolerance with everyone else - even the intolerant. I've noticed showing intolerance towards the intolerant ironically makes them more intolerant, as in a sense, the intolerance shown to them justifies their own intolerant belief, as it displays to them an apparent futility of tolerance; if they cannot be tolerated, then to them, straight up and down tolerance is a fool's game.

no need to be inflammatory now

this discussion reminds me of when I was banned from Fur-Eh 2023 for outing people that literally admitted to me that they were pedophiles and/or zoophiles

Hotel California. I call that song "The Furry Song" because it perfectly describes my experience with the local furry community; a six-month period of complete shit that ended in me getting banned from a furry convention for outing sex offenders.

just gotta ask real quick if there are any good alternatives to slade?

oh shit

Alright, so I'm trying to create an ANIMATED lump in a WAD of mine to provide new, Boom-compatible animated textures. All of the resources that I've seen don't provide any information on how to create or edit an ANIMATED lump - besides using an old DOS tool (SwantBLS) that returns an issue with dependencies (I presume) when trying to run. Slade3 also doesn't seem to have built-in support. So, uh, what now?

You are absolutely in a hideously fucked situation and the only reason why you should be in that situation is because you brutally murdered like 4 dudes and at least one woman or child and express little guilt over it. Chances are? You're a dude who was unlucky. In a world where we've got a shitton of lucky people, and in a world where if you were given some of that luck yourself so you had two perfectly working hands instead of just one, you'd make more than what you'd make now, which is an objectively good thing - at least to economists. But you're not given even a slice of that luck, for some reason, and instead of asking why you fellate yourself on how hard you've been fucked over like it's some kind of good thing. I'm saying the world is fucked and is absolute hell so we can stop lying to both ourselves and those who look down upon us and begin making changes so it doesn't have to be this shit.

Honestly? Whatever the moderation team feels like. I mean, in a literal unironic sense. This isn't a country, there are no laws nor judges nor courts. It's up to the whims of the moderation team on a personal level. There's a silver lining to this, though; generally you can then abide by the rule of "don't do what would make you ban someone on a forum".

I don't know what your position is on it, but this is a subject matter that is with every passing day edging closer into literal life and death territory; the simple reality is that we are objectively, factually, and undeniably getting not enough for our labour in the current market. We've all seen the outstanding evidence saying that the average person is working harder and making less. We should not be both working more than our forebearers, and yet finding ourselves with less at the end of the day. That is a sign that we are being stolen from. Even a $15 minimum wage is not enough. Salaries for everyone besides the already ultra-rich - from the working poor such as I, to tradesmen, middle-management and white-collar professionals alike - are all legitimately overdue for a salary increase of at least 200%. That's how much more we've been making, and how much wealth we've not seen a cut of. Unironically the quickest fix would be legislated caps on prices for goods, services, and rent, with the enactment of hefty taxes on properties owned by large companies such as Walmart or Amazon taxing the company itself, and using that tax money - plus some printed - to help smaller businesses foot the bill for this increase of pay. This would then immediately stimulate the economy, as now 90% of people can afford to spend as they should, which would increase growth in the economy. If the big businesses want to leave an entire nation's market, they can go right ahead. We will make something better than them in our area. Their loss, not ours. Understand that there is not some "force of nature" coming in and vacuuming your money, your food, your water, and the clothes on your back. This is an active, planned, and intentional act of large-scale robbery by human beings like you and me. Equals to us, not superiors. What are we going to do about it? Begin asking that question daily.

Everyone's saying it'll be okay. It won't. You're now becoming an independant adult in probably the worst time to do so in history. Next year, you will be expected to provide for yourself in an economy that requires about 50% to 80% of your pay to go to the basic cost of living - we talking rent, gas, electricity, and water. Those four things, which are now needed to operate within modern society, will cost you the majority of your money. You will need to figure out how to make the remaining 20% to 50% work to purchase your groceries, potential car related costs (including immediate costs such as buying a car, and consistent costs such as monthly car insurance), potential phone related costs (same deal as the costs of cars, high immediate purchases, modest long-term monthly costs, etc.). Never before in human history has such a strain been put on the average person. No more than 30 years ago, your basic cost of living would've taken at most a good 40% of your paycheque. We are right now being treated as slaves - our ownly calling upon this earth is to work like a dog and barely get by, according to those who look down upon us from their ivory towers. Understand you're walking into a rigged game, unironically. Before you find yourself inevitably running like a chicken with its head cut off trying to find a job in this shithole of an economy, know first that it's all rigged. You don't have enough money to support yourself, your parents don't have enough to support you - neither do your friends. Your company doesn't have enough money to pay you well, and the government doesn't have enough spare change to throw at you. We're all on our own, suffering in this hell of our own creation. Know that first as the pretense to your adult life; at the very least, it will numb the pain.
