Awoospace announcement
Starting now there's two ways to get an account on awoo.space:
If you have an existing account on the fediverse and want an alt or a new main here, you can just fill out the form on the start page. Remember to fill out the "Why do you want to join?" part so we can approve your application.
If you don't have an existing account on the fediverse, you can have an active member of the community direct mesage an admin or moderator. This is basically the old "get a friend to vouch for you" way, so people can recommend awoo to friends who make their first account in the fediverse.
Please feel free to ask any questions you might have! We hope that this new system will make it easier for people to sign up to awoo with us

I updated two of my Doom utilities from a while back: WadSmoosh now includes author credit info for all supported levels, and my Run Tracker mod has a bunch of new capabilities and a new name:

tho i have to say one of my fav "people is people" moments of reaching out through history
is
these little clay dogs found in nineveh
buried as charms under a palace
each of them carved so lovingly, by a person that knows dogs, and looking like dogs that you can probably go find today looking the exact same
each of them inscribed with the quality of a good guard dog that people still prize today in good guard dogs
Loud is his bark!
Biter of his foe!

fascinating chat on chocolate doom git re: CRT color temps being ~9300k vs. today's LCDs being 6500k, and how this makes #Doom look different (brighter, they say)
https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom/issues/1139
someone posted an alternate palette .WAD that is a nice quick simulation of CRT-like color temp
first shot here is normal, second with 9300k.WAD
i can't see much brightness diff here (tho i have always felt doom used to be darker!) but it's kind of shocking how much red gets put sucked out by the WAD. i like it so far.
some awful product fucker was probably like "we HAVE to make this A/B test of the mobile site on desktop work" and, guess what, it "works"
has poor taste in video games
yes you can follow request
please ask in a DM for discord/other app to contact me directly. DMs here are not a great direct medium
