@rakuno It is. I mean can you even think of a worse invention?

Even something horrible like nuclear weapons at least brought with it nuclear power as well.
Not uncontroversial, but at least there is a measurable benefit.
But everything "generative AI" is just trash that improves no one's life […]

@Krazov yes there’s more than just gzdoom, I’ve used crispy doom and liked it a lot too. But apparently GZDoom is the one with best compatibility for mods, while crispy is more about being true to the original, which might not fit well with some mods.

I suppose the laptop I have is on the fence of what’s still usable. It’s also extremely heavy, so I’d suggest getting something at least a bit newer, if you have a choice.

@InfiniteHench the sad thing is, they will probably get a hostile backlash and that will confirm their opinion even more.
