The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread

[Project Dark Fox]

I'm not sure how many people remember me here, since I've been fairly scarce for the past few years.

So, anxiety and depression have together ravaged practically all of my activities from hobbies to my day jobs. In addition, I've been getting hit with some other minor health problems which also have impacted my life as I know it (namely, chronic migraines). I know my art output has been down, and so has any form of comic work or even work on a certain notorious mod at the time.
I've been denied for Medicare again, so I've been looking ... elsewhere for alternatives.

It's taking some time, but I must say, a certain herb has been helping with everything listed above... I am just afraid of becoming dependent on it.

Any form of activity that takes the mind away from bad thoughts and rewards it with good thoughts can become a dependant activity. I know more than a few people who haven't done much with their personal projects or goals because they are addicted to youtube, or reddit, or plain old television (and usually the trashy stuff at 1 in the morning, which I'm occassionally guilty of...)

It's good that you have found a way to relieve these feelings, but alternative medicines can sometimes have adverse effects (or make the problem worse, yes, even weed can do that. trust me).

It's really good you have been able to talk about it though. Keep doing that.

That sounds like an Excruciating pain... I'm sorry to hear that. Chronic Disease tend to stuck into you like forever and it's just painful. Hope you find something helpful.

My life is also getting agonizing as well, but please, Get Well Soon.

Oh, oh god. It appears that people are actually discovering the VODs of my awful streams, including a few people from this forum! I can't help but shrivel up in embarrassment, since my voice and jokes always seem to sound 100 times worse when I'm watching the videos after the fact. Gulp.

I mean, I *do* want people to find my streams and hopefully enjoy them, since what's the point otherwise? But I'm just so self-conscious...

Self-avaliation is what pushed me back from writing =p

Going back to OpenArena briefly for whatever testing reason makes me cringe now, which reminds me hard. A lot of others seem to enjoy it as it is though, which baffles me :S

It's not the mishmash of player characters though (linux dorks, literal lizards and slingshot amazons etc. can be effectively disabled with cg_forceModel), it's all the clashing colors, lighting, texturing all done with the maps with the few assets that were available, as well as some really lazy sound work and way too many shader stages. It's overall technically a "better quality" than q3 by at least 3 times to satisfy descriptions, actual artistic integrity and stability though is another matter..

I feel bad for those who backed Underworld Ascendant.
Turned out to be such a flop, they've started doing end-of-life discounts merely 3 months after its release.
At least it looks like the devs are trying to work on it, but from what I could determine based on the overwhelming negative reviews is that it's not likely to ever deliver on its promises.

Where can I find all of the Doom alpha graphics Romero released? Is there a place where I can download all of them in one package?

No all-in-one, but you can find them in /idgames/historic.

all the graphics were collected in this git repo by Fraggle, including conversions to PNG

and as a small novelty I wadded up the vast majority of the sprites and textures and made them ready for use in most doom engines, if you don't want to cut them up yourself.
