those cute no interpolation animations are so adorable, especially when he runs up to the board quickly to get back up

As Romero talked about it some time back he's working on Sigil 2. What are the chances he asks the recently returned Dario to make a map for it, like a secret map or something

Could be like that. I shoot pistols right handed just fine but shoot rifles left handed. I'm extra weird though because while I am left eye dominant, I also ergonomically feel better about using my right arm to aim a rifle over my left. I just don't feel nearly as coordinated with that arm.
I imagine Doom guy's situation is either the same or he is some autistic sperg with his gear and keeps a pistol on his left hip for faster draws or something when he is bringing a rifle or shotgun down and switching. Idk this is all head canon autism

You can individually bind inventory items, but that's probably the only reason I'd use it over another source port (for now).

Assuming you're not trolling, you'll need to enable your controller in "Control Options', and then bind your keys after doing that.

Shit threads just means more time to play WADs, mods and other 90's FPS games on the old backlog.

Speaking of which, what are your favourite non-slaughter WADs? A lot of the more popular ones seem to turn into that at one point or another, making otherwise fantastic map packs end on a bit of a sour note. It'd be nice if there were a way to filter them out when searching for stuff to play.

Just adds a bit too much for me. I'm already putting at least 20-30 minutes into each major level while quickloading, and trickier sections really add up the time.

I'm surprised though, as even the author feels like much of the original Doom levels are 'impossible'; honestly a bit misleading. I think it was only the Pit that gave me issues? And Plutonia's 'Hunted' didn't transfer over so well and was real easy.

In terms of feeling like mapmaking is an uphill battle because you'll put so much effort into something that few people will probably actually play, this isn't the same, but I think it's similar. Jeff Gerstmann's review for Super Mario Maker has an interesting point:

>Ultimately, this is how I'd recommend you play the game, as well. Play it with at least one friend in mind. Make levels and send them back and forth... You don't need fancy streaming equipment or social media to make Super Mario Maker work. You just need someone who's willing to go down the rabbit hole with you. One person.

I've never tried it nor have I tried mapping either, but this seems like an interesting way to feel like mapping is meaningful. Having at least one someone who will play and react to whatever garbage you make while you play and react to theirs could give an immediate sense of progression and continuity in your mapping career: you make a map, you get a response on it, you play your friend's map and get inspiration for yours, and there's a collaborative, conversational process that would naturally evolve your skills over time.

Of course, step one is making a friend who will learn to map with you. Of course, step zero is making friends.
