Re: Spring Cleaning 2023: Moderation

Without getting into the specific rules involved, whenever I've been involved in any form of community or organization management, we tended to have a few different tiers of moderation: cleanup, mediation, and enforcement. Cleanup being moving conversations (wrong subforum, bumps, spam, etc ...

Re: Changes In Forum Administration

This seems like a very solid set of first steps toward healing some of the past wounds in this section of the community. I too hope that we can all take important lessons away from this situation, and that some amount of grace can continue to be granted to those involved (save, of course, for the ...

Re: Statement regarding Marisa the Magician (aka Marisa Kirisame)

And let's be real - it's not a 'phobia or 'ism to notice such things and to air your grievances, and in this case, I've noticed long ago that a large portion of the people in the upper echelons of administration strangely consists of the trans lot and the folks who blindly defend them, or try to ...

Re: Statement regarding Marisa the Magician (aka Marisa Kirisame)

Pillowblaster's post may not have been a justifiable reason for a full ban, but the post absolutely crossed lines in terms of being an acceptable part of this discussion and definitely had airs of bigotry, or at least of being tolerant of bigotry. The last thing I personally would want to see is a ...

This is being discussed.
Can you share where that discussion is happening, Kinsie? I would love to add additional weight to the "please sub these forums" side.

Re: Statement regarding Marisa the Magician (aka Marisa Kirisame)

I'm also pretty turned out by the way people are focusing on the situation as a means to soapbox about moderation issues to the exclusion of the inciting incidents at hand. Well, I am sorry to not meet your expectations, but improper moderation is what allowed this incident to escalate and cause ...

Actually I'd prefer if more people chimed in; This is a community after all, and I don't want this discussion to be only driven by a dozen people with highly-vested interest. Thanks for this Caligari. I'd been holding off on adding my thoughts because I've never been a particularly active member of ...

Re: Supplice - Out now on Steam!

Thanks again for all of the continued support guys! I haven't seen any indication in the demo or in the store page (I might've missed it and my work VPN blocks Steam), but I am curious: is there any intent to the voice the MC or are you folks going for a silent protagonist? I don't think we've ...

Re: Music for Dooming

So, default if it fits. I see, I see. I'll have to track down the 3DO covers - despite having played Doom since it came out, I never played or heard the tracks from the 3DO version. Here you go! Youtube link The 3D0 port itself isn't great, but the covers they included did a good job of adding ...

Re: Supplice - Out now on Steam!

Every single update to this thread and to the game is lush and beautiful. One of the strongest art directions in the entire boomer shooter genre, much less in the Doom scene. I haven't seen any indication in the demo or in the store page (I might've missed it and my work VPN blocks Steam), but I am ...

Re: Music for Dooming

Depends entirely on the situation! I haven't been doing a lot of creative endeavors in Doom lately (which hopefully will change soon when other projects begin to taper off), but when I am working, I tend to go for either Synthwave/Outrun/Vaporwave/etc., preferably with no lyrics, because they tend ...

Re: A Planet with a warm south/cold north - how?

In addition to what's been said already, there are a few ways to go about this. Your best bet, like Rachael said, is probably a more elliptical orbit that lines up with the changes to the axial tilt of the planet. That is, when the planet is at its closest points to its sun, the south pole is ...

Re: ModDB?

Oh yeah that's totally fair. I do find it annoying when all of the info for a given project is only on ModDB, mostly for the same reasons.

Re: ModDB?

You could say the exact same thing about /idgames. Or about pretty much any other mod hosting site, for any game really. Ideally, the mod hosting site should just host mods, regardless of their quality, and people should find mods by using community places like forums. I think Professor Hastig made ...

Re: What is the attraction of PS1-style visuals?

I doubt it. The 90's have one huge advantage: Technology was sufficiently advanced to handle more than 16 poorly fitting colors but not advanced enough for photorealism. Of all computing eras it is the one for which asset creation would be easiest. Move ahead another 10 years and the playing field ...
