nigger, there is no such thing as a 'final update'.

one day you'll wake up, oh you will. Fulfilled with the rarely experienced sense of acomplishment. You just uploaded a new version of your gameplay mod or map. this was to be the final version, all sectors done, all bug-free. the thread goes on happily as ever, people post screenshots of your majestic work for others to see. Say they're having fun.

then you boot it up and you find yourself actually having good fun, giving yourself a fair chance for once to enjoy the thing you worked so hard to achieve, and be proud of your efforts which only recently came to fruition.

And then you see it.

There it is, clear as a cigar lit in pitch darkness. A stray pixel on your gun. The muzzleflash doesn't align perfectly. The offsets somehow make your gun look wimpy as it's being fired. The firing sound no longer feels embelishing and empowering. It's too weak. It's too strong. You've been using TEKWALL more than you should have. You didn't put enough FIREBLU in. Sooner than later, you realize you've been using nothing but this one weapon in particular during the last 6 or so maps, out of the 6 you've made for the mod, for a grand total of 6 barons killed in 6 shots in 6 seconds within each. What an oddity. Your maps suck, your weapons are shit, the entire doomunity hates you now.

Long before you know it, you're booting up SLADE and GZDoomBuilder. You should. You have to, you need to, you ought to, you must.
