All camping related problems can be solved with more tarps.
/uj what kind of weather are we talking here? Rain? Wind? High / low temperatures?
10·7 days agoA new Total Conversion Megawad for Doom 2 just dropped this week out of nowhere, called Eye Juice. The art style is absolutely fabulous and the level design is excellent. The difficulty is a bit more forgiving than the typical modern slaughter maps.
It is quite fun. I died while staring at a spinning doomcute shwarma in the middle of a shopping mall.
I modified the Odamex server to load >1700 Hexbear taglines from a JSON file.

Hell yeah
OpenBSD, of course.
Only one of the most recognizable sentences in the English literary canon.

Yeah.
But he was like 450 years old. You could also do some interesting storytelling from that angle, making several 50-100 year jumps through history.
they’ve already contrived ways to resurrect and remake him before

In defense of CDPR, this can of worms was opened by Andrzej Sapkowski in the novels.
A game focused on Ciri would be really cool. There’s a lot that can be done with travel to alternate universes. For example, in the novels, Ciri stumbles into the timeline of Arthurian legend and spends a worthwile amount of time there. In a videogame, she could travel to all sorts of other unexpected times and places.
IMO, the GOAT would be a game focused on Regis though.

It wasn’t even that democratic. There were still property requirements as well.
For people not familiar with US history, it’s worth clarifying: The “3/5th compromise” did not mean slaves got to cast votes worth 60% of an ordinary vote. It meant that in every census, the slave states got to count all of their slaves and add 60% of that number to their population for the purpose of representation in Congress. You could literally buy extra seats in the House of Representatives by importing slaves.

Good luck! I did it on a Pentium 2 once sometime around 2005, but software has become a lot more complex since then. On the other hand, the new binhost system might save you a lot of pain if you keep your USE flags somewhat vanilla.
Freedom is when the galaxy is ruled by a bunch of nitwits corralled by the guiding hand of a sect of magical space wizards. Autocracy is when the galaxy is ruled by a telecom commercial spokesperson with a CPAP and a black cape.
I uploaded the demo here: https://matapacos.dog/stuff/hexbear_deathmatch_demo.tar.gz (59M). It can be played back with something resembling the following line:
odamex -iwad ~/Games/doom/iwads/doom2.wad -file ~/Games/doom/pwads/dwango5.wad -netplay ./Odamex_DM_20260524_131716_dwango5.wad_MAP01.oddDue to an apparent bug in Odamex, the path to the demo file needs to be fully specified even if it is in the current directory (observe the
./).Gameplay begins at the 25 minute mark (you need to mash the right arrow key to get there). Alternately, the up and down arrow keys can be used to skip maps (we played a couple dozen). F12 can be used to cycle between the perspective of different players. Unfortunately, some information like weapon animations is lost.
The action really picks up after the map list cycles back to MAP01. We reach a point where where are +/- 10 for several rounds and things get downright chaotic. At the same time, people are getting more comfortable with the mechanics and movement.
A giant videogame style nukage pit.
