Pineapple pizza is the shit.

Oh look! Someone smart!

You don't like the new Doom games? But they're so good 🥺

You don't like the new Doom games? But they're so good

This is correct.

I mean, if DooM 1 were to be made now it would have glory kills, because technology!

I mean, if DooM 1 were to be made now it would have glory kills, because technology!

Not so accurate. Brutal Doom is older than Doom 2016, which, btw, copies all the mechanics of Brutal Doom and, afaik, Bethesda did not mention the guy who created Brutal Doom. Correct me if I am wrong.

BTW: Doom Eternal is overwhelming in what secrets, easter eggs and exploration is about. And I love it!

Regardless of the glory kill mechanic (which is a perfectly reasonable means of getting a small health boost in terms of gameplay) DOOM 2016 feels a lot closer to the frantic fun my friends and I had with Doom 1 and 2 back in the early 90s. They were never scary, but they were always hilarious. I enjoyed Brutal Doom for a while, but I much prefer the vanilla Doom experience.

DOOM 3 was such a massive disappointment in terms of the overall feel and sluggish pace. At the time it was visually stunning, but I never finished it because it was boring and it got uninstalled as soon as Half-Life 2 came out.

Looking forward to grabbing Eternal on pay day.

Respectfully disagree. They miss the mark completely in my opinion.

Hometown: One of the worst towns in Michigan, Snover

Was always curious how you ended up in Greenland then (as per your profile) of all places

As someone who played through Doom 2016 again recently for god-knows-what reason, I thought it was completely and utterly... fine. No more, no less.

Respectfully disagree. They miss the mark completely in my opinion.

Exactly my opinion, but aimed at Doom 3.

Doom 3 is the best Doom IMO.

I'll always remember that Doom 3 expansion pack, featuring the most blatant gravity gun rip-off ever

Doom 3 is a decent game, it feels competently made and cohesive with a lot of world building details in things like the PDAs and computers you interact with, even if it drags on for too long, but it barely feels like a survival horror game, more like an action game with a spooky atmosphere.

How is this what got fucking discussion going

Woops, looks like we drifted a bit too offtopic, still within the bounds of the discussion kind of, so whatever.

.......yeah, probably should have kept this to myself, nothing to write home about, reading my post again made me realize I sounded like edgy teenager lol

About You

Name: Thomas J. Boyle, hence the name TJB
Age: 27
Hometown: Depends how you define it. At the moment I live near-ish to this place, but these days I rarely go into town
Relationships: 1 previous that lasted a few years. I've been single for the past ~5ish years, and I'm intending to stay that way
Occupation: I work for a company that leases aircraft to airlines. The main part of my job consists of reading lease contracts and working out from that when maintenance is going to happen in the future, and the associated costs
Current goal(s): I dunno really. I'm interested in being able to play VR games, and then create things for them
Politics: N/A
Religion:

Apathetic Agnostic

Sounds like a good description

Favourite Things

Food: Steak, usually with rice. I've been preparing my rice like this recently, would recommend
Hot drink: Good quality tea. Coffee can be alright too, I suppose
Cold drink: I like root beer, although it tends to be kind of hard to get here. My go to (other than water) would be Coke Zero
Snacks: If I'm watching a movie I might make some popcorn in goose fat, sometimes with a bit of bacon grease. Makes for a very delicious, if probably horribly unhealthy snack
Movies: I tend to like Sci-Fi, among others. I find it hard to answer as I haven't watched many movies over the past few years due to lack of time.
Videogames: Honestly I've played very few games in the past few years. I like Kerbal Space Program, although I haven't played too much of it recently - whenever I advance enough to start building large stations or mining bases it just kills my processor. It's definitely a game I would like to play in VR.
I like Deus Ex, the first System Shock, Halo, Half-Life (obviously). I've also been playing Deep Rock Galactic recently, that's pretty fun.
Music: A lot of different kinds of music, but mainly Metal and Synthwave. Recently I've been listening to Master Boot Record. I'd say my favourite metal band is Rammstein, and my favourite synthwave artist would be Perturbator. For the past few years I've been collecting music in the form of vinyl records - I like physical media, it's nice to have something you can hold in your hands
Other: I've been watching Star Trek recently, it seems pretty good.

Disliked/Hated Things

Food: There are a good few things I'm not a fan of, but if I had to pick one it would be coconut. Fuck coconut, and fuck anyone who ruins snacks by adding it in.
Hot drink: Poor quality tea, which in my book also includes any tea that's got milk in it
Cold drink: I'm not a fan of most fruit juices
Snacks:

Anything with coconut. The creator of Bounty is a sociopath.

Movies: Hard to say. I thought Suicide Squad was terrible, but I knew it would be ahead of time.
Videogames: The only game I can remember actively disliking would be The Stanley Parable. I would have preferred to spend the money on an hour watching paint dry, because at least then I would know ahead of time not to get my hopes up.
Music: What with the advent of streaming services, I don't know how to answer this one. I can't remember the last time I listened to music that I didn't specifically request.
Other: Daylight Savings time. Whichever sadistic bastard thought that up must be having a great time in hell right now.

And thats bacicly my life story.....

Pineapple pizza is the shit.

You've got one extra word you don't need there.

Pineapple pizza is the shit.

You've got one extra word you don't need there.

Yeah, honestly that sentence is absolutely fine if you remove either pineapple, pizza, or the. Otherwise it's just wrong.

TWHL has been my hotel California since day one, guess its time I wrote in one of these too. So here it goes:

My personal proof for Christianity being true and Christian God being real came from understanding of and application of physical sciences and sheer logic.

I desperately want to see what leaps of logic you've taken to arrive at this black and white a statement, but I know this is not the place.
If it makes you happy.

@Archibald

I do care when somebody wants to challenge my logic, but usually those who do are easily defeated only becase it is the principles that are important and not the little details they try to cling onto.
Religion, a science of the mind, traslated meaning would be "a way of which ones life is led" is present in every man, woman and child. What is your religion, depends on what you nurture within you, and is with out a doubt a set of principles that are applyed to everything that person defined and applied within it self (talking about ones mind).

To arrive at this statement where I am took a lot of sacrifice and endured hardships in life out of which many cost plenty of time, health and money.
It is pretty simple to defend your self online but I would like to see us discuss these things in person as much more information is passed via guestures and just by a display of physical presence and emotion.

Simply put - If a man could just like that realise that everything he knows and does is wrong he wouldnt be here in the first place. It is very hard for one to give up himself and change to something completely diametrically different.

But the key is in ones life principles as they are the starting point of all expressed emotion.

I also very much love a nearly unknown game called Distance, which is a mysterious horror game with the very experimental element of you being a car robot chasing an anomaly, and also Terraria has a very special place in my heart

Music: All that wasn't named above, except when it fits into a game (for example in Distance or Terraria)

Religion, a science of the mind, translated meaning would be "a way of which ones life is led" is present in every man, woman and child.

I think you're referring to the Force. When you quote Yoda, you need to credit him properly.

Regarding drinking piss, do not knock it until you tried it. It's perfectly sterile, unless you have an UTI.
