Headless Chicken's 🐔 11th Release Candidate (don't ask what happened to 10) is now up on the DOOM + DOOM II KEX Engine Port!
Currently in the process of getting the IDGames archive version updated too.

A screenshot from DOOM + DOOM II, the KEX-Engine port of Doom. The megawad Headless Chicken is loaded into it, on the title screen.

Who needs textures in Doom maps anyway? You can do a lot more with less.

A screenshot from Doom 2, of a map in progress.
All of the textures are flat colours, mostly yellow, brown, and orange on a starry sky and black ground. The scene is reminiscent of a pyramid or a temple hiding among the natural rocks and dunes.

A screenshot of a Doom 2 Megawad DIY, MAP06: Not Very Cash Money, by me.
Doomguy smiles as he stands on large stacks of large banknotes leading towards a colourful table with an odd roulette-like structure in the middle.

I think I ended up making Emerald Coast but in Doom. My yearning for SEGA Blue Skies is getting infectious.

A screenshot of Headless Chicken: One Bite More. A view from the sky, where a barrier on the water separates two islands.

Probably the rarest infighting scenario I've ever seen in Doom... I still can't believe I caught it on tape. They're still trying to shoot at each other to this day.

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Paperback Paradise @paperbackparadise.bsky.social · 16h

Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, he’s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

HOW DID DRACULA GET RICH?

Dracula made a fortune off of Frankenstein's feet without his permission and he is a disgusting piece of garbage for that

Indy @indy.bsky.social · 2d

It nags at me that people are dancing around the fact that one reason centre-right think-tanks are in an intellectual crisis moment is because we've spent over a decade where lots of their ideas were tried out and didn't pan out as advertised.

Crunchy, perhaps? Crunchy is more tangible than crusty. Crusts leave crumbs all over the place, crunch is something you can really sink your teeth into.

Again, it's really important to understand that anyone who hates theatre, art and academia - three things Britain is still *really bloody good* at making - just hates Britain.

The Bear @bearlypolitics.co.uk · 1d

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.

It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

The performing arts, sociology and anthropology are among the subjects the Conservatives would like to cut
