  1. We believe that people playing pwads have already mastered the iwads, right. Yet the closest I've got is e1 and e3. I don't know if I just have zoomer attention span but "Use switch to activate something you probably won't be able to find" is tricky. I know automaps show elevators but it's still confusing as heck. Tl;dr has anyone out there played lots of pwads despite not completing the iwads.
  2. More of a reddit question but I'm genuinely interested. Context - boomer mom lived opposite a chocolate factory where her parents worked and had unlimited access to chocolate. I know we have flouride in the water now and more advanced dentistry, but that only goes so far.

    The Official 'Trying to Find a Specific WAD' Thread

    I don't remember nuts having the centre and lighting like that? I thought it was the Kabba at first (If you look real hard)
  4. For my next project I want to deliberately put out a map that is good all around but has a ridiculous midi, like "Side to side" by Ariana Grande. I know wads that used midi for the novelty of it in the 90s. But I want other examples. Tl;dr what are some wads whose' midi selection made a disappointment of an otherwise great map?
  5. Australia is a lucky country, run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck. Poppy cutting, meritocracy discouraged, can't be an entrepreneur because of red tape. The u.s in this sense felt a lot more free. Though this youtuber says not long ago, in China you could do something like kick a dog and nobody would do anything about it.
  6. Anyone else noticed games in the last 10 years becoming adverse to letting you feel lost? Can you imagine an e3 level in a game today? There would be checkpoints on the hud every two seconds.

    What is the most un-ironic use of a midi in a wad?

    Imagine doom 3 is sold like a second expansion but the music is happy birthday or star spangled banner. The gameplay is great, but that music makes it faceplant, even though you can of course turn it off. It's a "Why?" dev decision.

    Hey @Misty, come listen to this cringe. I put a level of undertale music into one of my wads.

    What's in a (map) name?

    90% of the time where I see an unusual name for a map, I'll be disappointed that the map doesn't reflect the name or seem to have some sort of reason for being called that. Revilutions' "The visage of time" came up in my youtube feed and I feel drawn to play it, but not hopeful that it's anything but a random name thought up by the author. Does the map involve time travel? Some sort of huge clock featured prominently in the map? I guess I'm going to briefly scrubbing through the playthrough video but not expecting that the name will reflect the map in any way.
  10. Was recently diagnosed with astigmatism, glasses not mandatoy but I sure do need them to tell the difference between 1080p and 4k (Built in antialiasing without them, yay!) No matter what I clean them with, they either retain a smudge/streak/smear and no amount of cleaning will get it off. Microfiber cloth only, cloth with water, water only, special glasses wipes, glasses spray-on cleaning solution, warm water with dishwashing liquid on my fingertip, etc. I can still see through them fine most of the time, which is surprising because if I had a smudge on my eye, I'd be seeing that smudge overlaid on everything. Dust particles also don't seem to affect my vision (As in seeing the particle). Are they meant to be worn mildly smudgy and dirty? Even my new pair came out of the case with sparkly looking dust particles - the moment I tried to clean them (After using a lenses brush to remove the dust) - it was smudge city.

    Wads that have good short maps

    What's the one other than underneath? Couldn't find it on your profile
  12. The exam was free with insurance, I actually had one to try and find a cause for suspected pain in the intraocular nerve (Even though it goes away with a saline iv). The first pair of glasses were aud100 and the second pair 75, both after insurance. Actually I think an eye exam is free even without insurance here.
  13. Does anyone get glare at the very top of the glasses when looking at a screen? I was told it was due to antireflective coating. Is a bit annoying.
  14. They still look fine when using them, I'm just surprised how they can get smudges etc and thought something must be wrong. I can't even see dust specks when using them.
  15. That's what the optician said he does, with clean finger of course. Toilet paper doesn't seem to do anything but doesn't seem to make it worse, either.
  16. Make a mixture of soapy water then dip my fingers in, then rinse by pouring the water over them? They never seem to get anything off for me, tried them with vr lenses and tv also with no luck. Isopropyl? Not that I know of, one lens is just a little different to the other. The cloth itself seems to do shit all for smudges, only the wipes seem to do anything about that. Even with the brand new pair I have.
  17. Wouldn't they cause scratches since they're a very coarse surface?
  18. So I've got an inkjet printer here with plenty of ink, and if you don't print at least something every week, the heads get dirty and you have to perform a cleaning cycle that just wastes ink. So I just figured, why not print doom maps (3d view, not top down etc). But will they look better on glossy photo paper? I mean we're talking about images, not photos.

    I'm looking for all the LA-Worlds wads

    Hello, these are every la-worlds maps I have found in the last 10 years. Please let me know when you have downloaded the archive because I don't have much space on my google drive. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JLqrNJKQP1GZSFRKWqLFg3xPYNKWrdfy/view?usp=sharing Edit: here's a link in case I have to take the google drive one down: https://mega.nz/file/C6RQWJqC#3tS9BVpySth5koLQ2GQ68KJbGTSZgtH1xCyvU5wjmx4

    The Official 'Trying to Find a Specific WAD' Thread

    Found it - the alfonzone! Very different maps compared to what has been done in doom, you all should try them.
  21. My printer has come down with the "Heads out of alignment and nothing you can do about it" fever. It's not that noticeable with doom maps, I'm just going to keep printing until I'm out of ink then never use it again (Head cleaning has used more ink than actual printing!) - you can't use glossy nor matte paper in a laser printer, can you? I've had a color laser for 10 years and never even needed new toner. It's also way cheaper than any color laser you can get today.

    prboomX 2.7.0 (Nov 3, 2023)

    How do I make this executable on linux again? I have it set to do so, but double clicking or right clicking > open does absolutely nothing. On lubuntu 64 bit. Running via terminal just causes the terminal to close.

    Also, the maps in this post! https://www.doomworld.com/forum/post/2636455
  24. Buying all types of paper is a bit expensive.
