good morning ✨

Thank god I'm finally starting to get over the worst seasonal depression of my life. Now let me just take a look at world events.

Despite a couple of 30+ second time loss chunks, this is a clean enough run and I'm very satisfied with the final time. Big thanks to @scwiba.bsky.social for making The UnMaking as well as the helpful changes to make it more speedrun-friendly, may come back to Max later but back to Speed for now!

Pending any more major updates, this is as far as I'll take WMD-Speed for The UnMaking. Still some bad time losses but mostly on the really annoying lategame things like Hellamo jump into the exit and getting the first Demon Key on Void Dreams, will move on to WMD-Max and get a proper route up next

I kinda love that this game just rips straight from Link to the Past, right down to the way the map is displayed. The dungeons are just sidescrolling Zelda dungeons. The overworld progression is Zelda. The magitek armor is... well, that's not Zelda I guess.

This game knows its audience.

When Democrats say "pizza party" they obviously mean sex crimes but when friends of Epstein talk about his "harem" they just mean, uh, his videogame collection.

Stop reposting the Darren Aronofsky AI slop trailer! I know you're dunking on it but I don't want to look at it anymore!!

Still works. Still crashes.

OKAY so today is the 30th anniversary of the Best Episode of Any Star Trek, Star Trek: Voyager's Threshold. It's the episode where they go infinitely fast and make lizard babies, you know the one. To celebrate, I brought back my Tim Allen's Big Supernaturals NSFW-detector code. Let's enjoy.

Hey, anybody remember this cool bug I discovered?

One more update to The UnMaking! This covers the last of the fixes to known issues from the anniversary update. Very happy with the state of things now. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/...

Missed out on this live but I'm watching the VOD right now. Always really touched that people like my maps enough to engage with them on this level.

Trudging through over a foot of snow on my way to work and dodging cars like Frogger.

Today is one of those days I wish I still played an MMO. Just running dungeons with my friends while the snow piles up outside... until the power inevitably cuts out and I wipe the party.

Me every time I think I know what I'm doing:

I forgot how good it feels to print something you wrote out on actual paper and feel the physical weight of your words. Sorry to the trees though.

My grate, it's full of stars.

Delicious to me

It is live. www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/...

The new UnMaking update says trans rights.

I love this one because I think the implication is that a marine wrote the message in their own blood and then, instead of dying of blood loss, literally fell to pieces.

Dead Man Switch posting.

You never really see the portals in Good Night and Good Luck from this perspective. Once the darkness sets in, you're outta there.

It has come to pass.

I have an extremely hot take I need to get off my chest: As classic as the orange/yellow are, Samus looks cooler in blue.

Would my non-Doom friends here appreciate it if I started posting insane out of context things I say in conversations about Doom

I unironically love color banding so, so much.

Oh god, the "tan" floor I'm having installed looks gray in our lighting. I specifically tried to avoid millennial gray but the millennial gray came for my ass anyway.

Working on a vanilla Doom project and the DeHackEd patch has gotten big enough it just instantly crashes WhackEd.

I talk a lot of shit about my employer, but occasionally they do something worthy of praise. For example, as an organization that gets federal funding, they were just recently told to remove all inclusive language from their website/handbook/mission statement/etc. -- to which they responded "Nah."

Prismatagoria sectors.

It affects absolutely nothing because there's no episode select, but I've """officially""" split map 25-28 of The UnMaking into their own mini-episode called Green and Abyssed. E3 is mostly space-themed, while 26, 27, and 28 are all darkness and void. So it divides up nicely.

Lying awake at 5:25am because I can't stop thinking about Doom projects I'm working on.

One of my favorite things when I was young was to stumble upon a little stream like this in the late winter while exploring the woods near my parents' house. The water passes calmly between the hard stones below and the cold ice above. Steady, determined.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

At an anti-ICE rally and this guy in a gigantic truck stops in traffic to film us, then gets out and shows the nearby cops the video he just took. Like, brother, what pressing evidence have you discovered about the event actively being monitored by half the cops in the city?

We just need some technical tweaks to the CSAM factory to make everyone comfortable again.

lmfao I got Adult Contented for a picture of a cyberdemon ass.

Amazing things happening on Discord this morning.

Holy shit they're cooked.
