I'm sure this was asked a few times but where can I find the first use of "doomguy"?
Because I believe it was a Usenet forum post.

Near as I can tell no one knows. It was at least in 1995 when journos started calling him that, so earlier than that. Probably usenet.

DSDA-Doom. Everything about it is great. It's nice that PrBoom+ lives on, but my only wish is that I wish it was possible to disable the Doom palette in OpenGL for truecolor but it's whatever.

GZDoom is solid for some gameplay mods I use and make. ZScript is neat. However its performance is doodoo with microstutters and it runs a bit slow and chugs on big maps even on a good PC. I also need to have compatibility mode set to Doom (strict), but it still feels off so it's not my daily driver for those reasons. My favorite port to tinker around with otherwise.

Any love for outdoor areas? Are there too many outdoor areas on maps? Do you prefer tunnels instead? How should you balance this?

Sup, anons. Shall we expect boards for other games to open up too?

First we need to mention this place elsewhere first and see who will join.
There are communities of other old school shooters like Duke Nukem 3D and Marathon.

b18e2 No.53

>>52
The only marathon communities I'm aware of are the pfhorums (which have dead registration iirc), and marathon story forum's forum, which is impressively running one of the most ancient pieces of forum software I've ever seen.

I'm not too familiar with the duke community, nor quake's.

Bear in mind I don't want to encourage anyone to go off just blindly link spamming other forums and making assholes out of us or anything lol.

Of course not. Spamming the doomchan link to various forums would be dumb.
I guess this should be done organically and slowly over time.
>Duke
The biggest that comes to mind is forums.duke4.net
>Quake
It has several, one of the active ones is Slipseer but similar to Doomworld in character (full of narcs and deviants)
Aside from Doom most of the classic shooters' communities are small or barely active. Kinda sad since these games offer a lot.
Time will tell

a general /vr/ board would be swell. just, please, keep the traditional cut-off point (i.e. no discussion of platforms released after the sixth gen). 4vr quickly dipped in quality when they changed this rule. i think adding any more dedicated boards could spread the userbase too thin, it's better to encourage generals.

Glad to see this board is up - would prefer if we had a /vr/ board for now since I haven't been playing any shooters lately and instead binging romhacks for Zelda 2, LTTP, & OoT. And Metroid Rogue Dawn + Metroid VITALITY.

it's because john's levels tend to have aged a lot better than sandy's for modern sensibilities. they also look a lot less abstract which makes them more palatable

Romero acted as PR figure more than others in Id, that's why. Carmack also is nice to be PR figure but he was more into other stuff, like coding. The more you appear on screens, the more you talk to fans, the more your recognition becomes. You rarely can be a good PR figure and like a good level designer or programmer at the same time

da13d No.51

it's kinda bill gates kind of thing. He appeared in ads many times, he looked like an american dream kind of guy. Nice PR figure. His "640 kilobytes is enough for everyone" pearl appeared proves that he actually knew nothing about programming

You've just nailed the reason why modern FPS suck ass.

let's get some top shelf anti-modern design rolling then.

this site does not support my 4chan browser extension…. also, make a /meta/ board so people can metapost about the site

a1dac No.22

>>21
/meta/ has been created. As for your extension, this is a vichan based imageboard, so you would need to check the documentation of your extension to see if that platform is supported.

a1dac No.25

Moved to >>>/meta/2.
