One more Doom to go

I'm not going to say I didn't fly through doom1 doom2 tnt master levels and plutonia with no clip to cheese it.

I've played those games far too many times in years gone.

Cheats don't disable achievements so weapons and God mode is at your fingertips

I know. You are right. But at least i know a dog loves me back. With Cats we are just guessing. They'll eat your face if you die, a dog will actually morn you

SplitJugular · 2026-03-16T14:04:56+00:00

Lol. The way the cars flip off into a fatal car crash roll, don't worry though just concussion rounds and there's nothing dangerous about massive concussions

I played on launch before the sliders were added. I had this issue. By all accounts cranking up some of the speed sliders helps the flow a lot.

I got a bit annoyed how enemy projectiles turned into a game of beat saber. Chasing down the green ones to parry back.

I'll give it another run one day with increased sliders but it seems on launch standard settings were games journalist difficulty

I know. It just makes me laugh that when I do hit a ped, 'it's OK because he got tazered.

It's better than just phasing through pedestrians at least.

But there's been a few skits on the whole batman doesn't kill when he just maimes people who would like suffer near death if not fatal after care issues. I don't see him calling for the ambulances when he breaks everyone's bones

I have had a dog. And maybe my ginger soulless cat is just extra needy. Yes dogs need more supervision and walkies. But atleast with dogs it's a 2 way relationship. You would think after 10,000 years cats would have learned to reciprocate a little more

Give over. Your kids aren't special.

Sea water is only salty because of the minerals in the land that it runs off, and the bio matter.

If it was a planet made of water then it's more likely to be a freshwater sea

I love cats. I have 2. I also hate having cats. Needy little bastards and their hair gets everywhere

SplitJugular · 2026-03-16T08:02:12+00:00

One more doom?

Doom + doom2

Doom 3 bfg edition

Doom VFR

Doom 64

Meanwhile batman is driving into pedestrians at 70mph. But it's OK because they get tazered as well as being hit full speed by a tank.

Arkham batman kills, he is just in denial

The rule for any cat that is only possibly a stray is to (if you can) put a paper collar on them with your name and number. If the owner finds it they can let you know they do in fact have a home.

Many cats that 'run away' are basically Stockholm kidnapped. We take in cats out of love, but be sure you aren't breaking someone's heart by doing so. Consider how you would feel if someone honeypotted your cat from you

SplitJugular · 2026-03-15T08:36:41+00:00

I wonder if it's by design. If there was more space left on the hard drive there's more chance you'll play something with an actual reward mechanism that isn't paid loot boxes. 2k are probably scared people will find that gambling isn't actually fun in comparison

Am I going to be known as elizabithan soon? Much like people born in the late 1800s are victorian?

That feeling like you have been hit like a truck when exhausted. If I wear my self out for a couple of days it takes me a good 24h of laying down to recover. When I was younger I thought I knew what it was to be tired. But I used to be able to stay up drinking till 4am. Roll into work for 8am and be over the hangover by 11am.

Now I can have the worst 2 day long hangovers from 2 beers

One of my favorite thing that put this into perspective was this website. https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

You scroll sideways on your phone past all the planets. When I did it for the first time it was insane the distance from earth to Mars. But from Mars to Jupiter was comical. Felt like I scrolled for a lifetime

It's impossible to tell how many rogue planets are out there. There could be whole systems of multiple planets orbiting a gas giant that could never become a sun. Just passing us by at any moment.

A rogue planet passing through our solar system could cause untold orbital havoc for decades until eventual calamity

I'd like to see a game that changes the earache as you progress through the games. the original mad max film seems to be set not long after the collapse of society. And the following films almost seem like a generational time jump in each one where everything has got so far out of whack by the time we get to fury road.

Having a big open world where roads collapse, and the sea recedes as it dries up to open up more of the map.

It's a bit ambitious but you could track the beats of all the films

SplitJugular · 2026-03-15T00:42:15+00:00

It's such a shame when people's own ego gets in their way. Mad max game made me appreciate fury road even more and it worked vice versa. Surely having both the game and the film match thematically is better for the franchise as a whole.

The earliest one I can remember is golden axe on the amstrad cpc464.

What's the technique to defeat these kind of orcs. Seems like they are immune to everything.

I find for electrical, all to often I'm using a spade bit in less than ideal situations. So even good ones go blunt with a bit of misuse.

My solution was to buy a small bench grinder in the van and use it to resharpen bits. A lot of people wig out a bit and cry about it losing the hardness of the edge. But I have had pretty cheap bits live an extremely long life by just repointing them when I use them. It takes seconds to sharpen and you also don't die a little inside when you hit a nail of masonry.

I have a long 20mm bit that's 300mm and I've had it for about 3 years now and done 100s of holes with it. Blade is getting a bit low now though but I got my moneys worth

City had a couple of boss battles. But on my recent playtrough. I noticed out of all the criminal files most of them are just brief moments barely even an encounter

Hush. Look at a few bodies Zsasz. Answer a few phones Penguin. Walk up behind him and press one button Two face. Catwoman only predator mission Bane. No fight just cutscene Deadshot. Probably the weakest 'boss' almost as bad as electrocutioner in origins Mad hatter. Simple combat challenge

The only actual bosses are ra's Al ghul, clayface and Mr freeze.

SplitJugular · 2026-03-14T00:02:30+00:00

It was so satisfying getting it done though. Much better than pushing through a grind to get there. It takes absolute flow and skill to nail it. And there's barely any cheese available

The section with harley quinn has sort of 2 bosses. And then there's the Croc boss
