Marty Stratton of id Software tries to throw Mick Gordon and his entire music production career in front of a bus over the Doom Eternal OST issues: www.reddit.com/r/…/doom_eternal_ost_open_letter/
Mick Gordon responds with receipts and even time stamps in files from the id audio designer: medium.com/…/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-ete…

Fuck anything from id Software/Bethesda/ZeniMaxi Media until chucklefuck Marty Stratton is out.
- Comment on The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim? 4 months ago:
So we’re getting Truman Show’ed, but on a scale assumed to be beyond our capability to investigate.
- Comment on New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters 5 months ago:
Wolfenstein 3-D definitely gets the credit, but Doom took it SO much further and was the first game that really brought out our gaming-kid excitement through fear and suspense even despite, in retrospect, it really just being a puzzle game with exploding demons (and when you get into the history and documentaries, it’s wild what they actually wanted to do in the engine, but the consumer level performance limits at the time cut into a much more in depth experience).

Anybody that played the Aliens Total Conversion on the original Doom engine (best Aliens themed shooter oriented FPS) knows just how awesome things can turn out.

Projecting one’s denial of rational semantics is a comprehension problem on its own.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 6 months ago:
It means they are conflated, even if you don’t like that they are.

You do know the two overlap rather consistently from the context of the females’ choice in most cultures where it persists, right?

Lets keep going. Same scenario but they dream was of an entire universe and the higher being doesnt evem take notice of our existencd because in the scheme of the time of our universal existence our enitre planetary life development start tonend isnt even a blip to notice. We are significantly insignificant.
Until of course we figure out how to break out of the dream/simulation and end up bringing war to the gods to their disbeleif.

But if we’re created in his image, couldn’t that indicate at an atomic or subatomic level?
What if we cant see God because he’s just a particular string cluster of atomic or subatomic particles?

- Comment on Is there an alternative to saying "so-called" which doesn't suggest potential falsehood? 1 year ago:
So you’re saying verbosity allows for more exactness of meaning, at the expense of the convenient efficiency of expecting inference to be employed by the recipient(s) of the message(s)?

It was a mini rant precipitated by a joke, now you’re just trolling for the sake of it.

The yuuzhan vong will never be canon for me.
I was replying in an overtly tongue-in-cheek manner as a response to your own shitty tone, and now you doubled down on the shitty tone? No fun allowed kids, we’re done here, pack it up and head home.
- Comment on In The Empire Strikes Back, why does Han significantly outrank Luke? 1 year ago:
The Yuuzhan Vong were canon for 19 books and then some, 1999 -2003, and overlapped the prequel releases and remained cannon through 2008 in the Legacy of the Force books. Right up until Disney bought out and fucked over authors, story lines, and a fleshed out and workable path for movies.
But its ok, nobody is perfect, you can overcome it some day.
- Comment on In The Empire Strikes Back, why does Han significantly outrank Luke? 1 year ago:
The Empire continued to exist organizationally just much smaller, and not that nonsense sequels bullshit evil macguffin splinter group form. The Empire remnant was called on in the EU against the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The EU that is still canon because it was canon before it wasn’t.

- Comment on Do you feel manipulated? By whom (or by what)? 1 year ago:
I dont watch or listen to commercials, and Ive had ad blockers in some form since the early 00s even if it was just a custom hosts file.
I wont watch regular tv with commercials and more than half the time will turn off youtube if watching thru a smart tv if they dont allow the ad skip. If Netflix had no ad tier, I’d have no Netflix.

- Comment on Why is it usually advised to power off your computer to have Bluetooth work again if it stopped working after a kernel update? 1 year ago:
To be fair, this is a recurring experience on Linux, Mac, and Windows of varying generations of equipment. As an educated guess it seems to be hardware states that cant be reset from software for whatever reason.
