How to perform Scythe's Run From It linedef skip?
ImproversGaming replied to MrHellstorm17's topic in Doom General
For this move there are some very precise steps: 1) find a reliable starting position, that you run from. For this walk into a depression on the outer wall. This kind of means that you always start from the same place which mean you can line up consistently for running at the pillar 2) turn back towards the pillar and line up for the run. You need to line up a vertical column of pixels on the pillar with a reference on the HUD or somewhere else. I used the last vertical row of pixels at the right hand edge of the screen 3) Hit all the keys to perform SR50 at the same time and just hold them down. Don't use any other keys. If you dont hit the pillar as shown in the videos then change the row of pixel you line up to and try again 4) When you hit the pillar you should be bobbing to indicate you are building momentum. Again just keep holding the SR50 buttons. As your angle naturally means that you drift off the pillar you will be immediately running at high speed towards the linedef on the stairs Play about with it and try plenty of times. You should make it. -

I talked through it here: And learned it from Stardusters run, which I linked in the description, or here at 1:27: You need to SR50 into the pillar at an angle that allows you to build momentum (note your bobbing), then as you slide off you are at full speed and pass the linedef without it being registered. Even with this it was not perfect for me, i.e., it did not work every time. Follow the line up process really carefully and you must SR50. Let me know how it goes. -

How well did the first Doom run on average PCs of the time?
ImproversGaming replied to Jack9955's topic in Doom General
Honestly, I feel like it ran great but this was very subjective. Performance was not really a thing for me at the time and everything was a revolution so the bar of expectation was low - it either ran or did not - there were no other grades (for my younger self at the time). I could put up with a lot of lag, or other issues, without even thinking about it as the alternative was to go play outside with a stick. I came from a decade of loading tempermental cassettes into my ZX Spectrum Plus, VGA arrived, the double-sided high-density floppy disk, sound cards, I bought a 20mb HDD to upgrade one of my systems and partitioned it into two drives as it was a crazy size, the turbo button came and went, there was a revolution every week. I think I was up to a 486SX/DX at the time Doom launched and remember my friend bringing over a shareware disk. It played great and we loved it. I do remember playing with the settings and getting better performance (less judder/lag) as I messed with the viewing size but it was pretty good compared to what I was used to. The hardware and software were changing so fast it was not long before it made no difference. -
