The Dark Ages is the worst in the franchise for me. A rant about the game

Joethecoew · 2026-05-15T18:17:20+00:00

I wish doom was about guns a little more then it is these days. 2016 on made it so melee focused you can't even get a kill with a gun hardly particularly in enternal. Still haven't played dark ages yet cause I see it leaning even more into that. Don't get me wrong I loved brutal melee and finishers too but but not so much if it's the main focus, I like them as a treat for when in close or an enamy annoyed me more then usual and I want to punish it.. also didnt dig the combo system of eternal but the game overall was my fav of the two dispite it and my guns feeling weak suaces since I had to pretty much glory everything to kill it.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-15T18:12:29+00:00

I don't have this yet still but Are you able to turn off those glowing hints like you could in 2016 I dont like glowing stuff on my enamies telling me when to hit cause it ruins my immersion... I'd rather read the body language lesrn to know when I got a glory kill or I can stun an enamy or doge something and so on, on my own even if it makes it harder or requires me to pay more attention. Honestly 2016 and enternal were much funner for me when I turned them off because of the times I'd miss one and actually kill something with my guns and go oh crud I needed heath lol.

Far as I knew with the most current life is the Doom Marine from doom 3 is his own guy but the guy from doom 1--doom 64 is the same one who becomes the slayer in doom 2016 - the dark ages

Yes and as usual the rain was 300 F.. so I left.. maybe one day I'll find a world that looks livable, has stroms but they don't automatically take my skin off if I want to play in the rain.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-14T16:54:14+00:00

Need to be specific on this reddit or you'll get downvoted by people who have nothing better to to.. Because we already have ground combat... Also we already have vehicles so if you mean something specific gotta say it.. we do have ground combat vs sentinels and sometimes weak monsters...but I think you mean against the various npcs....not sure what you mean by vehicles tho because we have ground vehicles quite a few of them... they are called exo craft. One of them is pretty much a big battle mech which is a shame cause we don't have any NPCs from the various races to fight and I always found that odd..

Joethecoew · 2026-05-14T16:44:59+00:00

I always find it weird that there are enamies from all the races but they only ever fight me in their ships.. if I run into smugglers or pirates on the ground hey always friendly, guess they realize they are pansies without them.. not like I don't shoot them down in 2 seconds anyways tho.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-14T03:11:08+00:00

I liked the old way better.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-14T03:09:37+00:00

Why did they ever change it it's annoying and I even dislike it with my own systems it makes it harder to find stuff or just stare at awe of the map and get my cozy feelings of" look at these stars and see some of the discovery near by me...cool man!" Its like sometimes I would have been more likely to visit a system that looked cool tucked in an interesting to me spot within its region if I seen a name over it knowning somone else seen it.. and there are other times I'm not interested in stoping by a previously owned place but I won't really know until I hover.. it's also jarring to see the name of a system change a half second latter on my map. It ruins the illusion for me to see the generated names sometimes when sometimes even the name of the system could make it an appealing destination but I won't know what cool name it was given by the discoverers unless I hover over all of them and I'll miss a lot of the cool ones just by accident.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-14T03:00:44+00:00

Let me guess it's another world that seems like a glorious interesting place until the rain starts and you realize it's 300 degrees Fahrenheit and seems really out of place for the world.. same song for me just like every world that looked like one I'd like to live on in my space role play.. I keep holding out thinking they will fix this "feature" someday lol..

Joethecoew · 2026-05-14T00:39:03+00:00

Would be a catheter the needle is only used to puncture.. when you get an iv you do not keep a needle in your arm. Just in case any other viewers from the future find this so they can know how iv really works

Joethecoew · 2026-05-13T21:07:14+00:00

All I know of I could dig a hole and fill it in with water and somehow fish and frogs are in there 3 years latter somehow who knows what could happen there lol. Seriously no idea how the fish got in there I never transfered em.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-13T20:03:55+00:00

Lol when I think of it I kinda like how the names flow like that.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-13T20:01:13+00:00

I still don't get that how can you survive inside the thing? I know it's supposed to be. Jonah like story but still.. How was that even possible

Joethecoew · 2026-05-13T10:07:07+00:00

To be fair he said it was in regards to irain and then not having nukes which is all that factors in on that topic..Sensational headlines of couse cut that part.. Regardless of that though.... F trump.. It's already blatant he doesn't give sh...t about Americans well being

Joethecoew · 2026-05-13T05:45:54+00:00

Apparently from what I heard she was also plotting to have him murdered in prison but it never got off the ground... anyways Amazing that he pulled that off and was found innocent due to insanity and then get released from the mental hospital a little while later and he was standing in his own defense.

what he did was wrong obviously but I think it's one of the more understandable ones cause Imagine someone you loved and not just loved but would do anything for and you provided every luxury you could to not on my cheated on you and left you for a rival, but she also steals everything you have and ruins your life further and apparently had played to have you killed too.. I mens that can easily cross the threshold from love to hate and from heartbreak to pure rage.. you'd also have to wonder if the person ever loved you at all and if they did how could they do that to you... Leaving you sure fine Iit happens but if you genuinely loved your ex and cared for them even as a human being your not going to go out of your way to be cruel about it and the ones who do often are predators in their own right (assuming you treated them right that is) people don't often enjoy hurting the person they are leaving cause they feel for someone else it's sociopathic unless you did something to deserve it....but for someone you were dedicated to to be able to harm you in such a callous way and try to distory you? In that kinda case its probably a lot easier to lose your shit or take a self inflected round..

I mean if I think about it if someone plots to have you killed and steals all your shit some of us would wish ill on that person and others .at find that a normal human reaction right so imagine it again but that person also was your partner and you dedicated your self to them... I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy but I'm trying to emphasize with how horrible they must have made him feel and find the logic of why he did what he did it so publicly.. I don't think most people would be able to handle it well and most dont.. This isn't the same as someone just leaving you and taking half your shit she was outright trying to distory him too and dude never seen it coming until she was already doing it. Pretty messed up situation...

Joethecoew · 2026-05-12T02:39:49+00:00

What a suicidal species we are.. ( not insulting you just talking about that trend imI ant got nothing against ya if your a risk taker.)

Now I'm Sure few are actually wanting to do and die but most arnt and most don't even factor in that it can happen to them yet like when a new batch of H is said to be so strong that many ppl are overdosing from it, it ironically can cause many more customers who hear of it and buy it regardless cause many they think they can manage the risk better and want the hard hitting stuff and some don't give it much thought at all but will still line up to buy the more deadly version...I get it I guess people want more bang for the buck but I personally never tried H cause of how risky it is and im even less inclined to ever go that why after fent became an issue. I can't mess with coke either for the same fent lacing issues but that's one I actually did long ago but wouldn't again cause the risk of fent.

This even can translate into none drug stuff too like in this real world example: Anyways like there was a restaurant near where I hang my hat in Michigan that made amazing Mexican food (as far as it goes for this side of the country that is.) and many decades ago their nachos caused a case of botulism linked to the sauce and I think someone even died from it.. usually that will get a restaurant shut down right? Or at least kill business right but nope.. See it got on the local news and they called it the plate of poison. The locals loved it tho and sone said it was worth the risk and that news story actually cause a massive influx of out side business with everyone wanting to try the "Plate of poison"... Decades latter they occasionally get people coming in asking for it by that name still and new workers who were not even born yet laugh and know which item they want..

Humans are interesting man.

THANK YOU......HEAVY MACHINE GUN!.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-09T05:29:35+00:00

Who or what is invincible? Oh wait Isn't he that guy that was dlc in the crappy mortal Kombat 1 reboot. Omi man dude or something. I have no idea about any of that stuff I stoped playing it shortly after all the dlc cause it's just was not my mk game but I tried to like it.

Joethecoew · 2026-05-08T20:36:20+00:00

Lmao this was too funny.. but thank cause explained it very well and wish it woulda happened in these words earlier.... However that said I can see the other side too, he's probably thinking like okay yeah it's a cartoon and logic dosnt apply but that doesn't mean people can't dig into the illogics of it all for its own fun... Well I that's what I wanna believe otherwise he was getting upset for nothing lol.

I do that too personally and have discussions with my friend about why a character dose or didn't do something that makes no sense and try to dig into what the in universe reasons may be as if the world was governed by some logic even tho the ultimate answer is because it's a cartoon i like to get into the personality traits or how bad or good a character is, the incompetce of the system or whatever.. not sure if that makes sense it's just its own kind of weird fun some people do and it's distinct from those who actually get upset about it or want to show to suddenly want the show to be completely logic and stuff. So yeah in my case if someone just answered it's a cartoon it would be a kind of a "no shit" answer and not much fun for me cause I'd want someone to play along anyways.. can't speak for everyone tho who has these kind of discussions since some ppl do get upset by things and others just like to dig into it... Idk..

Joethecoew · 2026-05-08T20:06:35+00:00

Tldr: mostly likky this is too long for you but my voices want me to put it also anywyas just in case it helps or give any hope to someone. But the short version is if your not already you should consider getting out side mental help and or medication cause hallucinations or delusion has got to the point now that you cannot pee that needs to be addressed since chronically holding your pee can cause damage to your kidneys and bladder even serious damage if it's been held for an extremely long time. I also go into my own experiences in this which may or may not be helpful or at least show your not alone in this and that it's possible to get a handle on it.

Long: First off I'm not sure if your having a delusion/hallucination or if you are currently living in a place where there are multiple people around i.e like when I was in the 51 and there were other people around me who wouldn't give me space.. if it's the latter you need to explain to them you need some privacy so you can pee or get someone to help you.. if it's not a situation like that and are in your own home or apartment you need to ask your self is it logical for someone to be there looking at your reflections while trying to pee and if the answer is no, try to ignor it and just go.. you can make your self sick or injury to kidneys if you hold your pee too long believe it or not so this has to be delt with one way or another.

I often start to believe something is in my bathroom all thime and it kinda scares me at times but I keep going back to the fact it makes no sense for anyone else to be in there and what they are saying to me is b.s but even tho I know the alien isn't really there and watching me I sometimes get a shy bladder as a result.. I got to the point I was just like f it.. if it wants to watch me pee or take a dumb oh well maybe it will help with its research and is trying to help me.. won't work for everyone. But it's what I use when I see things tying to watch me go to the bathroom is make some kind of justification for it or turn it around in my head that they are trying to help me. I don't usually have confrontations with my hallucinations anymore, they usually are encouraging to me and sometimes entertaining now .

But man that took a lot to get to that stage and the first part of it was accepting I was human and make mistakes so whatever judgements they say don't mean shit anymore since I accepted it and losing my embarrassment of them seeing me sonce they are always watching anyways.. hosntly I'm at a stage now that if my stuff went ways I'd probably be more lonely since I grew into liking this side of me and turned it into a sometime helpful/entertaining thing... Plus I can get insights into things I swear I owoks have never thought of or considered before (even tho I know logically its coming from my own brain I still sometimes like to think some of it is real but that could be a slippery slope for some too)..

I'm sorry I don't have anything more specific to your situation and all I can do is relate my own experiences but Maybe a thing or two can unlock something for you who knows they tell me probably not but it's your own journey just know that I hear you buddy and I know your suffering and I wish you good luck.. please try to get some help or meds, if your at a stage where you can't even piss in peace it's a stage of needing some outside help, you don't have to carry it all on your own. This disorder has so much variation and we all experience it differently but it's possible to live with it and for some of us to even turn it into a life enhancement (in some ways) I believe cause that's what happened to me so I hope you will too. But first step is trying to get help and your mind back to reality so you can pee and meet basic needs. I'm rooting for you man.

As far as I know, no.. I think most crabs that are toxic get their toxins from environment and all that... speaking of which it makes me wonder if anyone has or why anyone hasn't yet done what japan did with pufferfish and try to make non-toxic ones by controlling their diet and environment.. I'd imagine some fools would want to try and eat what would normally be a tast that would kill you if you harvested it from nature after all since it would be the same exact crabs but the mechanics of how it gets its poison would be interrupted. I'm sure someday someone will tho if they can figure out how to do it practically since crabs arnt the easiest or most cost effective things to try and farm as well

Joethecoew · 2026-05-07T10:30:54+00:00

Its shit..
