Hello! By way of introduction, here are four Doom projects I released this year: PhoboChromaPhobia — 11 colorful maps for ZDoom Osterity — 8 maps for vanilla Doom PREEKARITY — 1 large map for limit-removing ports Wayward Puritans — spooky 1-map near-total conversion, with additional ending map

some things i made for @giygaskaz.bsky.social love Julia:>

Streetlights, a little wind, and everyone's favorite Halloween decoration: Just a bunch of jack-o-lanterns sat on your lawn.

Another exercise in seeing where I can take the well-worn concept of a Dead Simple clone: 1) only Dead Simple textures (plus solid colors); 2) sky is the special MAP07 action code from the Doom source code; 3) yeah, I’m gonna need a sector Mancubus and Arachnotron 😆

i figured a few of my followers would be tickled by this. i do get bored from time to time and decide to fiddle around in doombuilder, just avoiding gameplay since that seems to be the element i jive the least with. most of the time the act is fruitless, but this time i blindly stairbuilded

BEING PAID,—what will compare with it?

working on something with my friend Notewell :3 (she made most of the textures here, i did the geometry) #quake #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev

Creating this no-ai indie games starter pack is one of the best things I ever did on BlueSky. Lots of great developers in here, making things with their own hands, some of whom I might not have found otherwise!! go.bsky.app/78u8M6Y

RIP to a level design legend. always wanted to write about Duke 3D level "The Abyss" one of these days - one of my favorite game levels of all time. also he's the subject of some of my favorite exhausted/pissed off looking game dev photos

"It is, after all, called “generative AI,” not “analytic” or “bibliographic AI.”" -- excellent essay by Jordan Sand on generative AI and primary sources. Speaking as a reviewer for academic journals, I increasingly get sent submissions that use fabricated quotes (!) and pass them off as genuine.

I am giving doom speedrunners $333 to play scary, creepy, or halloween themed doom levels. all skill levels welcome! points for participation and bonus for time new map every 24 hours, two maps per day, resetting at 3:33 A.M. and 3:33 P.M. link in the next post:

Some of the great illustrations from The Algonquin Legends of New England (1884), including tales of the mythical Glooskap, whose name literally means Liar, because it is said that when he left earth he promised to return but has never done so: publicdomainreview.org/collection/t...

Moebius

maybe stating the obvious but i wish more people would articulate that the sort of "let people enjoy things" "don't go after my favs" consumerist fandom landscape where any sense of alternative has been quashed as anything but hyper-niche is directly and inextricably tied into us also having fascism

i'm very proud to present my newest album, Not Yet. here's what early listeners are saying: "this album is like a warm bath of harmony" "nostalgic but unfamiliar, like having new memories implanted in your head" check out Not Yet on @bandcamp.com: esselfortium.bandcamp.com/album/not-yet

anglecore weirdslop thing I made in 5 hours.

I'm co-chairing a search for a full professor in the area of "media entrepreneurship" (extremely broadly defined) at the University of Alabama. It comes with an endowment! Curious? Don't hesitate to reach out. careers.ua.edu/jobs/ccis-so...

Been messing around with Doom Builder

things went somewhat better in the alternate timeline where kid rock's 1998 hit single was called "dog with a blog" instead of "bawitaba" (same song but with different lyrics)

full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life

Brian Eno on crafting the Windows 95 start up sound. This is never far from my thoughts.

Objectively, humanity's greatest challenge is to combine shared prosperity for all humans with ecological sustainability. But AI boosters offer way vaguer visions of making things "better." That's the tell—they don't care about concrete, material problems.

Two days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks Serj Tankian of System of a Down posts the essay Understanding Oil to the band's website. Sony removes the essay amid claims Tankian was justifying the attacks and the band was monitored by the CIA for subversive activities (2001)

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

Clyde Caldwell, Sympathy for the Devil

This Day in Labor History: September 4, 1970. Salvador Allende won election as president of Chile, a moment of victory for the idea of a democratic socialist revolution, one that right-wing nations such as the United States would never let succeed. Let's talk the workers movement for Allende!

Good food? In my Doom map? It's more likely than you think. #DoomMapping

One thing about MIT’s method of naming its buildings by number is that when something goes wrong it stops being charmingly nerdy and starts sounding extremely dystopian.

What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

One (1) spot opened up in my virtual mass strike simulation test-run for the end of this week. It's a really good character too. Anyone interested?

Really had a good time making these extremely silly posters for the themed horror movie month my wife and I host each year. Not bad for throwing on some clothes and grabbing a few old vacation photos.

It's up for download! www.rosiesentman.com/armitage2026 Feel free to ask questions as well; there's a lot that I had to cut for time, and I'd love to fill in any gaps :)

Today at 1PM Eastern, I'll be streaming making music in Studio Vision Pro with a 1987 Mac II and some hardware synths! twitch.tv/LilithNexus/

"Mystery Park" first 3d render in a while that i've made as just a standalone art piece for nothing in particular :3c

Tom Savini is a fucking legend. And he lost everything. His home. His beloved pets. His life's work - work that served as the foundation of the horror we hold most dear. There isn't the character count to list his legacy here. If you can, please consider donating. www.gofundme.com/f/support-to...
