I haven't brought this up in a while on here (felt like I should give other people the stage for a while), but I am still out of work, and running out of money to keep my bills/loans covered.

ko-fi.com/wildweasel - Donations highly appreciated. Pointers towards employment, even more so.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help.

Game dev friends, I am looking for any resources on making 3D outdoor levels based on real life locations because I'm trying to make a game based on real life locations and am thirsty for learning.

good point, i should hire a composer and an orchestra to write and perform a parody of the 1812

Weasel Hills C.C. (Hole 19) @wildweasel486.bsky.social · 9h

I am sure I've played something worse, but for some reason I subjected myself to play all the way through Mortyr: 2093-1944, which entailed me playing through it multiple times because I'd wasted too much health and ammo and made the game unwinnable a few times

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

With my cursed amounts of money, I would single-handedly erase the physical sport of Golf and all of its professional associations from the Earth.

Weasel Hills C.C. (Hole 19) @wildweasel486.bsky.social · 9h

Buy the land deeds, trademarks, and corporate entities to every golf course on Earth. Have them painstakingly digitized. Release that data into creative commons. Convert the clubhouses to public community centers. Allow the courses themselves to be reclaimed by nature and designate them as parks.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Weasel Hills C.C. (Hole 19) @wildweasel486.bsky.social · 10h

Yeah, and that guy has verifiably *always* been like that, so I support the effort to (finally) break from him.

Just...from this far away, it feels like the classic Doom community has never not been angry about something, these past few years. 😥 Maybe the good news just doesn't reach me out here.

The 1915 Revolver, meanwhile, is note for note a copy of a British Webley revolver (this one, the Mk. VI, started production in 1915, matching perfectly).

Side view of a Webley Mk. VI revolver from Wikipedia. The Webley has a barrel-tip mechanism to open the cylinder for reloading, which also matches perfectly with how Eri and Fio are shown to reload their revolvers if left idle for a moment.

Interesting. The Murder-.50AE appears to be, visually, a hybrid of parts from an M1911A1 (the shape of the muzzle and placement of the slide release and mag eject button), and a Mark VII Desert Eagle (the dovetail mount on the top of the barrel, the trigger guard).

A close-up of the muzzle of a Colt M1911A1 handgun; the shape has a distinct sort of figure-eight shape with the barrel on top and a stippled plug on the end of the slide spring.

A Desert Eagle Mark VII, featuring the older-style dovetail accessory mount on top of the barrel, and a concave-front trigger guard.

I'll probably go back to yakking about golf and tiny-roomba simulators in a bit though.

Weasel Hills C.C. (Hole 19) @wildweasel486.bsky.social · 14h

I probably shouldn't be vagueposting about this considering I'm sure some of my old contacts from there still follow me, but frankly, I'm so disconnected from the Doom community anymore that it's not my place to go into detail about this. My perspective is still warped and the heart still aches.

Anyway. Here is a dog that reflects my current mood.

Stella, a Pomeranian, loafing on top of a couch with a sort of dejected look about her.

The first news that reaches me about my Doom port of choice in 2 years and it's another giant community blow-up over a dev decision. Just when I'm starting to wonder if I could go back, I'm reminded that I probably shouldn't.

Just as well I haven't played Doom in earnest at all in those 2 years.
