Hey Bluesky. I'm Jimmy, probably best known for my MIDI music for video games and Doom mods. I have about 800 pieces to my name.

Wrote MIDI soundtracks for SIGIL 1 & 2, Prodeus, Secret Agent HD, and currently working on music for indie FPS Supplice.

I have created a transparent status bar replacement for UZDoom. Even the automap is transparent! It works with Doom, Freedoom, Chex Quest, and Adventures of Square.
If you are playing a supported Doom mapset, different status bar gfx will automatically load, like for BTSX.

Screenshot of Doom. The automap is open, but you can still see the game world behind it. The status bar is also transparent. To the left of the status bar are icons displaying the current state of powerups, and to the right is the current completion stats and level time. If you're playing BTSX or a small handful of other mapsets, different status bar gfx will automatically load. SevHUD supports Freedoom. SevHUD also supports Adventures of Square. This screenshot shows off the HP bar, available in all games (but disabled by default).

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

It's recently come to my attention that someone made a fake UZDoom website. DO NOT CLICK IT!

The only official website for UZDoom is ZDoom dot org and the ONLY official place to get future UZDoom downloads would be the official UZDoom Github page!

Stay safe out there y'all

[Boosts appreciated]

Happy birthday Cow Tools! Here’s Gary Larson explaining how it made him “want to crawl into a hole somewhere and die”
A page from Prehistory of the Far Side, explaining the reception to the strip. Copy/paste to the rescue: The "Cow tools" episode is one that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. A week after it was published back in 1982, I wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere and die. Cows, as some Far Side readers know, are a favorite subject of mine. quintessentially absurd animal for I've always found them to be the situations even more absurd. Even the name "cow," to me, is intrinsically funny. And so one day I started thinking back on an anthropology course I had in college and how we learned that man used to be defined as "the only animal that made and shaped tools." Unfortunately, researchers discovered that certain primates and even some bird species did the same thing—so the definition had to be extended somewhat to avoid awkward situations such as someone hiring a crew of chimpanzees to remodel their kitchen. Inevitably, I began thinking about cows, and what if they, too, were discovered as toolmakers. What would they make? Primitive tools are always, well, primitive-looking-appearing rather nondescript to the lay person. So, it seemed to me, whatever a cow would make would have to be even a couple notches further down the "skill-o-meter." I imagined, and subsequently drew, a cow standing next to her workbench, proudly displaying her handiwork (hoofiwork?). The "cow tools" were supposed to be just meaningless artifacts- only the cow or a cowthropologist is supposed to know what they're used for. The first mistake I made was in thinking this was funny. The second was making one of the tools resemble a crude handsaw-which made already confused people decide that their only hope in understanding the cartoon meant deciphering what the other tools were as well. Of course, they didn't have a chance in hell. But, for the first time, "Cow tools" awakened me to the fact that my profession was not fust an isolated exercise in the corner of my apartment. at "Cow tools." Someone sent me the front page of one newspaper 3 B14.)" T was mortified. which, down in one comer, ran the tease, "Cow Tools: What does it mean? See In the first year or two of drawing The Far Side, I always believed my carter perpetually hung by a thread. And this time I was convinced it had been finally severed. Tenically, when the dust had finally seuled and as a result of aft "aise" it made, "Cow tools" became more of a boost to The Far Side than ayahing else. so, in summary. I drew a really weird, obtuse cartoon that no one understood edwasn't funny and therefore I went on to even greater success and recognition. Yeah—T like this country. "The Far Side, a single-panel cartoon by Gary Larson, obviously went too far to the side some time af0 and threw great chunks of the populace into panalto confusion." - Newspaper Columnist, Chicago "Tasxed 37 people to explain the 'Cow tools' (cartoon) of last weok but with D0 luck. Could you help?* -Reader, Califomia "Enclosed is a copy of the 'Cow Tools' cartoon. I have passed it around. I bave posted it on the wall. Conservatively, some 40-odd professionals with detoral degrees in disparate disciplines have examined it. No one understands it. Even my 6-year-old cannot figure it out...We are going bonkers. Please help. What is the meaning of 'Cow Tools'? What is the meaning of life? -Reader, Texas 'We give up. Being intelligent, hard-working men, we don't often say this, but your cartoon has proven to be beyond any of our intellectual capabilities. •..Is there some significance to this cartoon that eludes us, or have we been completely foolish in our attempts to unravel the mystery behind 'Cow Tools'?" -Reader, California

To practice my composing skills I want to create a small piece of midi music everyday for the month of October. The only rules are there must 8 bars minimum and to try to include drums, bass, and a rhythm guitar where applicable. I want a "keep it simple stupid" approach so I can focus on practice.

The guy responsible for forcing horrible smeary texture filtering on by default in GZDoom has finally crossed a line that the community cannot stand. An unfortunate schism, but hopefully this means things improve faster from here!
