@HauntedOwlbear @Eliot_L No, no. I was just expanding on my originally brief reply. I couldn't remember if I ever expressed this on here before, and it's probably better if I put it in writing.

@HauntedOwlbear @Eliot_L This applies in real life too. I just can't describe things, and I often don't even remember visual details. I've lived at the address I currently reside in since 2009, and I couldn't tell you what color my house is. 🤷♂️

@HauntedOwlbear @Eliot_L I understand, and I understood this about Mastodon when I joined. I can describe text paragraph on a background, but anything more than that sends me into a small panic. Just for the sake of my own comfort this is a hit I knew I would have to take with the community. I don't see it changing either.

@Eliot_L That's fine with me. I'm incapable of describing things.

Happy 30th Birthday to the *shareware* version of DOOM! 🎉🎂🎈🍾🥂

This has existed for a while, and yet I don't see it really being talked about:
CLASSIC GAMING ARENA, a complete and easy solution to play 90s PC multiplayer games on modern Windows systems over the Internet. Basically play most DOS LAN games again, and this time your buddies don't have to be in the same room. Very easy to setup and get going. Comes bundled with everything you need. Receives constant updates with new game support and bug fixes. I highly recommend it.

@vampiress I'm sold.

Remember the Titus

SPISPOPD is officially available here. Along with an FAQ and an editor:

@drimplausible It came out on the same day as DOOM (Dec 10th), so after the band was formed, and is a reference to a Usenet post that referenced it as a joke. DOOM itself also references the post in its IDSPISPOPD cheat code.

The house from MyHouse.wad is getting into Holiday spirit. 🎄🏠

@foone I think it messed up last year or the year before that, but other than that seems to be fairly accurate. 🤷♂️ I didn't check that closely tbh.

Chanukah easter egg in D/Generation.
A 7 branch menorah is used though.
