Sony tells developers that any new game submitted for PS4 after July 13th must also run on PS5in Gaming
Talk is cheap, I'll beleive that stuff when I see it. Sony and Microsoft have said stuff in the past and then bungled it in execution many times before.

So like, does that treasure tech mod have a levels pack or anything to go with it? it has this really cool tutorial map, and then it just throws you into vanilla doom 2 afterwards? i get like, running it with custom maps or whatever, but this one seems like it should have maps designed specifically around the mechanics.
Ultra has plans for doing some maps in the future, for now just pair it with your wads of choice. Super Mayhem 17 is a good one
Is CCleaner still the best option for uninstalling programmes?in Hardware & Software
I was using an older version of CCleaner before they got bought out and got shitty, but that makeuseof link pointed me to a program called bleachbit which is pretty much Ccleaner but under the GNU public license, so thanks, that's a load off my mind.

Why isn't this question asked whenever they provide a 750bn billionaire bailout? That's 2500 dollars for all Americans, which is basically two months of the previous stimulus check.
Well I'll ask that too. It's all absurd.

I'd be perfectly fine with another check. Might should do it on the regular, automatically like, say monthly even.
I'd be fine with another check too, but wouldn't there be some issues coming from monthly checks like this? The money has to come from somewhere.

hugo went out of his way to make sure micromissiles weren't as useful because he probably saw people using them too much in 2016 and got mad at how fun and memey they were
I feel like they went heavyhanded with nerfs and balance tweaks in general, micro missiles are useless, default melee attacks are useless to prevent double tapping mooks and to put more emphasis on the blood punch, they removed the stun bomb from the plasma gun because it was too good in favor of microwave beam which is too situational and awkward to be of any real use. I feel like the chainsaw is overdesigned too seeing as it recharges fuel but only to one pip and chainsawing non-mook enemies is a waste, even moreso when you get the crucible. Why can't we chainsaw bigger lads when they're in a glory kill state?

They annoy the shit out of me too, I just spam sticky bombs and grenades at them now, most of the time the dopey bastards are so flabbergasted from my spam technique they get wombo combo'd til they explode into chunks. Really I think they're just staggering from indignancy seeing as I refuse to give them a proper fight.

Standard quick melee does insufficient damage because the game demands you to do more than just run up to a zombie for free health. Once you get into the rhythm of shooting a couple or so Heavy Cannon shots into them it becomes a non-issue.
It's still a daft choice and shows how fucking wonky the system is. I feel like the bloodpunch is a result of overdesigning melee attacks. Because later on when you get the upgrades that converts overheal and overarmor into blood punch energy it cycles back around to becoming a non issue and you're blood punching shit really often.

The biggest one is that ammo capacity is WAY too low. I shouldn't be needing to chainsaw something every 30 seconds so I'm not running out of ammo. In addition to this the fact that the chainsaw does literally nothing to enemies that have too much remaining health can make things really dangerous. For example you'd think that a flashing staggered enemy could be chainsawable. But there's no guarantee. Several times I got completely wrecked by a hellknight or cacodemon because of that shit.
The chainsaw doesn't work based on enemy health, it goes by enemy category, you can see monsters are categorized by tiers in the codex, fodder boys take one chainsaw pip, and bigger lads need more fuel to chainsaw. Basically save the saw for chumps to get ammo, don't actually use it as a weapon.

thanks to gamestop selling the game a day early I've been binging it for the past couple hours, it's very good. The only thing that sucks right now is you can only carry 16 shells to start with so I'm gonna be focusing upgrading ammo capacity quick.

How are you doing in this unexpected phase of history we're finding ourselves in?in General Discussion
I'm broke and jobless, but I've been pushing myself harder with my art and modding shit. Once I get all of the modding stuff done I'll be moving on to making little standalone games. I'm too damn stubborn to let this get to me, and I'm optimistic this shit will get sorted out, humanity as a whole is stubborn like that.

I'll be honest. That dev diary leaves me really wary, too much talk of online experiences, boosters, and the cosmetics. They've went on record saying they're not gonna charge for this stuff, but the whole thing seems sketchy to me.

My favorite part of Brutal Doom is other mods putting in countermeasures for Brutal Doom.
It's funny, this trend originally started with Demonsteele, and Term did it as a quick way to identify bug reports because dorks would pair Brutal Doom with his mod and shit would break. Saved him a lot of headache and confusion when someone submitting a bug report also mentioned how a swarm of tiny invincible golden skeletons punched them to death.

i've just finished playing through super metroid again. the later half of the game really drops in quality. made me think of how good of a game ocarina of time really is.i can't believe its been 20 years since i first played it. its such a huge part of my childhood and while it seemed so much more grand and amazing at the time and in my memory, it still holds up as a masterpiece that i can go back and play time after time and not have it feel tedious.
I disagree, Maridia was great on my first playthrough years ago when I was a kid, the place was huge and spooky, I got lost a lot and in doing so I stumbled across Shaktool, and the Springball. Lower Norfair I don't like as much admittedly, even to this day but once you figure out the right path you can blitz through it. After replaying the game so many times the place I hate going through on repeat playthroughs is Tourian, that's where it stops being interesting for me, as it's just a simple gauntlet of a few Metroids to kill, a scripted event you can potentially skip, and then of course the Motherbrain herself. First time going against her is memorable as hell but it sure does suck fighting her after so many times seeing as she's got a threshhold on HP where you can't damage her further until she blasts you with the rainbow beam.
How do you feel about the 2010s as a whole?in General Discussion
It's been an interesting decade for me, just a few years ago I picked up doom modding and realized that I want to pursue my old childhood dream of making video games, and doing all of this doom modding stuff has helped me realize that I'm capable of making vidya, maybe nothing on a huge scale, but I can do this. This year has been a bit of a rollercoaster though, I'm not sure how close I was to having some serious problems from a bad case of appendicitis back in June, the nurses had told me that thing was gangrene when they got it out of me, and I lost my job back in August, and still unemployed. But on the other hand, in this year alone my skills as an artist has grown quite a bit, and I earned myself a sword during an SCA event for showcasing outstanding chivalry out on the field. Overall I'd say I've grown stronger from this decade, and I'm ready to face 2020 with the same determination I've gained in the past couple years.
