ive always been fond of maps that are "regular/mundane place" except you're really small..

[doom-nerdo-666]

I kinda want to articulate why the D3 armor in QC feels weird to me.

A lot of these "throwback" armors do have differences to their actual designs, even the D2/64 ones in Eternal (Obviously because inconsistencies in designs aren't new to Doom but D3 was a game with more elaborate 3D models compared to others with sprites, few promo art and even low poly models like Q3A).

But D3 feels weird and i think it's because D3 had a specific art direction while in QC, it comes off as making it adhere to some of 2016's art style elements.

Maybe that's way: It's not just the looks themselves but it reminds me of a mindset that comes off as "fixing D3 means making it adhere to 2016/Eternal".

When in reality it should mean "making D3 a better D3 or at least make it respect/handle itself a bit better while being its own thing".

Because anyone who already dislikes D3 and prefers 2016/Eternal could just keep with those and get more of them.

D3 is its own flavor and it also comes off as misunderstood even by itself.

I keep saying D3 and "Slayer games" are like 2 sides of the Doom coin or seperate, opposite branches in the "Doom tree".

But maybe that mindset requires to admit "here's how 2016/Eternal still differ from old Doom" when some people prefer to think of them as being closer to the originals (Part of why i like that MatthewMatosis went "it's not like the classics but that's okay, they're still good and the old ones still get stuff").

If anything, admitting that modern Doom differs from old Doom can lead to so much more:

On one hand, finding many ways to explore classic Doom like how to better translate Doomguy's face to 3D.

But also, welcome newer, even if riskier things that could suit Doom in a way despite being alienating at first (Even if a boundry could be drawn like "don't turn demons into aliens").

Part of why 2016 and Eternal shouldn't be seen as "remakes" of D1 and 2 because they're clearly their own games (and also, D1/2 don't need "remakes" but you could have modern games with their own material that just vaguely parallel them?).

At the very least, this "D3 armor" being different could be seen as a "variation" of the D3 armor like how Eternal has a different take on the Praetor suit.

So imagine if a "Doom 3 sequel" had a design like the QC D3 armor but different/new enough while a "true" D3 armor is an unlockable skin (Plus, helmet on/off option).

Looking back, even MetaDoom uses this design and that's the mod i hype up as "ultimate Doom tribute, not even id themselves could do stuff like this".

And again, D3 fixing could mean a lot:

A proper re-release that does what BFG Edition and others should've done instead.

Maybe one more expansion that just tweaks the gameplay a bit (while leaving some flaws in base game but with settings/options) and does specific stuff like using the obscure power ups.

Its own "Hell on Earth" follow up that the D4 project should've been.

Anything but a "remake", because "remaking" D3 could lead to what i fear would happen like "making it for people that already dislike D3's concept alone".

AMA Character Edition ~ Answers Part 1

Here are the first few questions! You can still ask your own :)

Q1: What are everyone’s favorite comfort meals?

A1: This one is weirdly the same for all of them: beef casserole.

The reason it’s the same is because it was Beverley’s speciality (and not *always* beef), and she’d make it for her favourite family members. So if Gran made you casserole, or you came over to find there was casserole for dinner/tea, you knew she was pleased with you, or you were in favour somehow. It was also mind-bendingly delicious.

Carrie has casserole when she goes over for tea, and that’s her first proper home-cooked hot meal in months. She later learns how to cook it, and the others then get it from her on request, so it is then un-weaponised as a meal and becomes one with positive associations, that they can just have whenever they want it. Since they all know the context of the original meal, which is unspoken between them but just a Thing they understand from their family dynamic, it’s The Meal that they sort of re-appropriate/reclaim for their own.

Q2: Give me a fact about ricky that you’ve always wanted to give me but haven’t told me yet? feed me specifically 

A2: Originally – and I don’t know if this is canon or not – Ricky actually lost his virginity to Sasha Shaw who collected all the cousins born in 1990 (same year as she was). They were 15, he was wasted and doesn’t really remember. It lasted less than 2mins. It happened the day he caught Wes and Layla at Aunty Em’s house, and was probably in response to that on some level, and a total waste of time for him, which is another reason why he doesn’t ever think about it or have any feelings about it whatsoever.

Q3a: Tell us about songs that various characters would not listen to most of the time except for when they are feeling a certain kind of masochistic.

A3a: Carrie wouldn’t listen to Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell unless she was feeling like she really needed to cry.

Ricky wouldn’t put the radio on at all unless he was exceptionally lonely and needed some sound.

Wes only listens to angry emo rock when he’s incredibly pissed off/certain kind of depressed and needs to sike himself up for something: then it’s usually Fall Out Boy, MCR etc.

Katy is pretty easy about what she listens to, but she hates Summertime Sadness and Boys of Summer equally, and wouldn’t listen to them unless she wanted to torture her soul.

Q3b: If they could, what instruments would everyone play?

A3b: Carrie would play piano (always wanted to, never learned, but the house had a music room with a piano forte, and it remembers). Ricky – not sure. He whistles bird calls canonically so maybe the flute, but I think he’d like to play something with strings that requires dexterity, maybe the violin. Wes – electric guitar. Katy: drums.

Q3c: And to keep running with the music theme, if everyone were to be in a band, who would do what and what would the band name be?

A3c: Something along the lines of Gods & Monsters, or Young Gods & Old Monsters?? It would be alt/emo/glam rock, ironically for Wes in canon. Something like that. Maybe a cross between The Struts and My Chemical Romance.

In this AU, Wes would be the frontman, lead singer/guitarist. Katy on drums, Ricky would be versatile and be the band member who can pick up any instrument and play it really well. If he’s musical in this AU, then instruments would be his hyperfixation. I think Carrie would actually be a roadie, a PA, or part of the team in a backstage way, and that’s how she and Ricky would meet and get together. They may have another band member, but unsure!

This would be a very “Rock Star Romance” type narrative but potentially told through interviews and memoir extracts, with the band on tour promoting a new album, with episodic dramas like Carrie rescuing Ricky from various self-destructive behaviours and situations, keeping Wes from going totally off the rails, and making sure Katy doesn’t get arrested and attends her anger management therapy sessions. She would definitely have slept with Wes multiple times in this AU but it wouldn’t be anything serious – FWB I think – but her and Ricky would be the solid partnership by the end.

The AU novel would be the same name as their band, I’m leaning to YGOM, and I think it would read a lot like a rock star autobiography or a bio compiled by a superfan in the industry/someone writing about their father and his life for Reasons. Ricky would still be ace, but I think would feel a lot of pressure to “overcome” his sex aversion which would lead to him being very self-destructive until he learned to be comfortable in himself, and possibly with a kid he didn’t know he had until later. I think, though, it would turn out to be Wes’s kid, not his, and that would be a fairly dramatic but typical episode that underlines the narrative arc peppered with a lot of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. Everything, ironically, that Ricky says he doesn’t do in THE CROWS.

Gerald’s place in the narrative would be taken by his guitar, which would be a character in the story. I think that Ricky writes the songs, and Wes has a lot of input, but Ricky’s got that creative spark and is a gifted lyricist in particular. Some of his scenes alone with his guitar would have a Ricky/Gerald dynamic, I think, in terms of it being a mask to his deep loneliness and dissatisfaction with the lifestyle he’s got, but he doesn’t know how to change it.

I’m not sure what Fairwood would be in this narrative, but leaning towards the guitar merging Gerald/Fairwood for narrative purposes, but it would be more metaphorical. I think Ricky would definitely have a “dream home” he wants to buy and live in with Carrie, and that’s a ruined manor in the countryside that he wants to do up and have as his project outside of the studio life.

QUAKE 3: ARENA

Dev skins

[doom-nerdo-666]

I said it before it'd be cool if Crash from Q3 had her own expansion/campaign as a modern Doom entry.

Just imagine her going through a journey like Doomguy did where she goes to the modern Doom universe and she gets her own set of weapons with their own weapon mods, her inventory items, movement/agility related abilities, power ups, even face different kinds of demons, bosses and level design challenges.

Maybe even her own Praetor suit even if she's still not in the same level as the Slayer.

Like an expansion with more content than TAG and almost like a "smaller" game (Maybe similar to Old Blood for Wolfenstein TNO).

And another excuse to add more new ideas to the Slayer games' formula.

And it got me thinking: She'd be from the same universe as the classic Doomguy.

So think of that, then also how the D64 re-release had new levels to adhere to the new lore.

Imagine if id made a "prequel" for Crash to tie into her Slayer game, by making it a classic Doom episode (Essentially, another official wad like Final Doom, NRFTL etc).

It could raise a lot of questions:

Custom HUD face: Would they give her a face or would she still use a helmet with a screen static effect?

Besides changing the hands to resemble hers instead of Doomguy, what else would the weapon sprites look like.

Would there be new MIDI tracks and textures for walls, flats and skies?

Would there be new enemies, even if tied to some limitations?

I can imagine some like a Hellhound that's just a smaller Pinky with less health and more speed or a Gargoyle that's just a mix of an Imp and Caco.

And even a "Plasma rifle zombie" but not sure if even Dehacked allows a new enemy to drop a different kind of gun besides the base Zombiemen.

Guess it depends on the most basic ideas for demons that existed in both Doom and fanmade content, like general ideas anyone could think of..

(Or even "backporting" enemies from later games into classic Doom but it'd probably work best with only some unless they made an official thing using GZDoom or a different engine for a "retro boomer shooter" type of project; And even what a certain demon would look like under a different art style etc)

Player sprites are another thing too, specially how you view them besides co-op/DM or ripping sprites from the fame. I always thought it'd be cool if a Doom game had a "gallery mode" to preserve concept art and even show off obscure/hidden details in some sprites or just off anything just to please the OCD part of my brain.

Either way, not only would Crash get her own classic Doom adventure, another thing is how it's available.

Besides the Unity port, imagine if Crash's campaign also had a HUB area like Fortress of Doom and she had her own computer she could play her megawad/TC in.

And if Doomguy had to type FLYNNTAGGART, i guess Crash would type ARLENESANDERS (But if id ever does this port idea again, i'd suggest/like to see STANBLAZKOWICZ and KIRAMORGAN next time).

And because Doomguy has access to his classic skin, imagine Crash also having an alt skin based off a classic female UAC armor (As in, her main skin being something Sentinel/Praetor related).

And of course, a Q3A inspired skin like QC has for Doomguy.

Basically, a set of ideas to establish her role in the Doom universe they present.

Maybe the same can apply to Phobos.

EDIT: I think i forgot the idea of her having her own toy pickup.

Imagine a Mighty Crash if you will.

The ATI Rage Fury Maxx... the graphics card that helped me get into competitive gaming playing Q3A

The ATI Rage Fury Maxx... the graphics card that helped me get into competitive gaming playing Q3A ​The ATI Rage Fury Maxx was my first card in a built desktop I used to jump straight into competitive gaming. Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 had just dropped which was a massive step up from Quake 2 style games, and Half-Life. I would eventually upgrade to the 9800 pro for UT2k3 competition, and later a pair of GeForce 8800 GTX in SLIWhat did you used to run back in the day for competition?
