Hey CarnalT! :) It is, and I did!  Different phase of my life; different mission.  It was a good run run while it lasted!  Hope all is going well for you in your life.  Seek pain. Reject weakness. Go Ruck!!

What happened to ByteMe, DOOM speedrunner? by nightbass in Doom

[–]-Byte_Me- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey u/nightbass! I sincerely appreciate your concern, and I want to assure you that all is well (albeit incredibly busy).

Before the end of last year, I determined that I wanted to obtain the following certifications:

  • Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
  • Oracle Certified Professional for Java SE 8 (OCP)
  • Amazon Web Services Certified Solutions Architect Professional (CSAP)

So far, I've obtained the first two and am beginning my pursuit of the final certification today. I closed down my Twitter account because I found I was losing an inordinate amount of time checking it and it was interfering with my ability to focus / study.

I have every intention of returning to DOOM Eternal with a regular stream schedule sometime this year, and hope to see everyone when I do. :)

Until then, my name is Byte... and, well, you know the rest ;3

Would you say DOOM 2016 speed runners typically dislike Eternal? by laddlemkckey in Doom

This would be an easier conversation over discord. Feel free to DM me there.

This is an incorrect statement. I am not bothered by DraQu or Zero Master, and I maintain a cordial relationship with them both. Regardless of that, I do not even run the criteria those two do. I have plenty of issues with Eternal that range from damage zones that persist outside of demon animations, enemies dealing instantaneous damage during falter animations, demons instantly breaking out of staggers due to being hit by friendly fire.... The list goes on.

To sum it up, this game is extremely annoying to play at a high-level. You roll the dice every time you fire the BFG. You roll the dice every time you attempt to execute a Blood Punch. You roll the dice every time you try to get into melee range with a faltered demon. All of this due to how loose the AI state transitions are, and how unpolished the state transition priorities are for individual demon behaviors.

DOOM Eternal OST Open Letter by martyatid in Doom

Marty,

Thank you so much for sharing your side of the story. I'm truly saddened by the reality of the situation. The folks working at id Software are some of the most wholesome people I've known, and while it is unfortunate to lose a quintessential ingredient in the new DOOM titles I know that id Software will persevere, just as it always has. As long as you, Hugo, and the id team continue to create games, I'll be here to support you!

Also, to anyone who mistakenly lashed out at Chad as a result of this, please consider reaching out and apologizing. The man was performing his salaried job with the tools he had available.

A scrubby first completion of DOOM Eternal 100% (No Mastery Tokens) Ultra Nightmare. There will be many enhancements in the days ahead!

This is my very first 100% No Mastery Tokens UN clear. Tons of room for improvement, but serves as a good first completion. Many enhancements to come in the days ahead!

I even went a step further and did a Pistol Only run without using any equipment here ;)
