@ishambard I'm always curious how far my childhood projects reached, I've interacted with at least one person who's played my maps which is still wild to me!

Some day I'd like to make a Doom mapset, but it'll probably be more of something for #HideousDestructor where I can have more branching paths through the maps, possibly leveraging hubs and making it more non-linear

aaa I think I need to pick just one tech project because right now I want to

  • try updating #HideousDestructor to the most recent version and updating my mods with it, and also seeing what new mods have been added in the 2-3 years since I last looked at that ecosystem
  • tinker with my Arch VM
  • keep working on my Bitburner code
  • play one of several Zachtronics games
  • try learning F# because I’ve always wanted to learn a functional language and it looks so approachable and it even lets you write imperative code too so it just seems like a perfect starting point
  • try learning C#, and I even installed Space Engineers so that I have something fun for my code to do (you can use it to automate a ton of stuff in that game)

#HideousDestructor ( #HDest ) is still fun after all these years. there’s really no game like it, although Beyond Citadel got kinda close

also, I think Ugly As Sin (a Hideous Destructor mod) is my absolute favorite implementation of food and drink as survival mechanics in a game, ever

you don’t need to eat or drink, but they give you small buffs if you do. eating/drinking is a manual process, and when you do it, it actually plays sounds of you eating and drinking - which I find incredibly grounding. each type of food and drink even has some flavor (heh) text so you can imagine how it looks and tastes

I think this design is completely brilliant because it:

  • doesn’t create any time pressure like the vast majority of survival games do. you won’t starve or die of thirst so you don’t have to rush, ever
  • but, it gives you a gentle incentive to use those systems anyway by giving you small buffs if you do
  • it also subtly encourages you to slow down and ground yourself in the game’s world, which helps stop you from rushing or playing mindlessly and helps you immerse yourself more at the same time
  • also if you’re playing in multiplayer it gives you a great opportunity to find safe areas and sit around and relax for a bit and talk before moving on

I think it’s actually perfect. I wish other survival games would do something like this. I know Valheim kinda does but idk vikings aren’t really my thing

Ready for more spook-tacular Doom gameplay? Well you're in luck because we've got plenty more from where we left off last time! The forced pistol starts was probably not a good mix with a gameplay mod such as Pandemonia, but I do wonder how it would fare with #HideousDestructor?

Ironically I just found this post because of a reply that happened across my feed.

I'm a webdev-focused software engineer by profession, but I enjoy playing and modding certain games in my spare time! Currently I've been grinding away on some addons for a very niche mod for Classic Doom games, called #HideousDestructor.

When I'm not developing mods, I'm trying to find time to play them and share those experiences over on Twitch!

We have some IRL stuff coming up this weekend, and I've got a bit of time to myself here, why not work on some more HDest mod development, shall we?

Happy #MemorialDay everyone! We had our plans open up for the day today, so I think we'll spend it chilling out with some #GZDoom mod development, shall we? We're working on some community mod refactoring and infrastructure building, so come stop by!
