i'm like if a wikipedia was transsexual she/her, it/its if we're friends

e4m2, fuck me lol e4m1 was hard on account of poverty, but we could bite pieces off at our own pace, and get through poverty isn't a problem in this map, or doesn't appear to be from what little of it i've managed to see before dying, but you start so hot and it doesn't seem to let up

the thing is is e4m1 unfair, yes, its a wild escalation in difficulty after the piss easy e3m8 boss fight but its a damn good map is the thing, really tight, claustrophobic, intimate, top tier stuff it just needs like, 1/2 stimpacks, and maybe a couple more shotgun shells

we enter episode four of doom, thy flesh consumed i would be lying if i said getting uvmax keyboard only on e4m1 did not require a fair degree of save scumming lmao i leave the level with not a single shell of ammunition to my name, i had to punch the last baron of hell to death

I encourage you to consider the impact of what you post when you post it to a wider audience, to find ways to cope with the terrors, and reasons to keep going. I implore you not to drown in your own dread before it even reaches your chin.

one of the sectors to trigger a secret in this level (of which there are ten) was very annoying i was sitting at 9/10 secrets for like 15 minutes, because i managed to pick up the rocket launcher from one of the secrets without the 'secret area discovered' thing firing

e3m5, back to comfy levels, this one spoiled the player with ammo and health, gave you fuck all armour though, so i'm down to 0% armour

this evening, we head to kazakhstan for a film produced during the soviet period, and released just after independence, a work that despite its budget troubles manages to be gorgeously made and put together unfortunately, its heart is weak

A ★★★ review of The Fall of Otrar (1991)

For the Mongols and Khwarazmian empires, power is a cruel and violent thing. It can seemingly only be exercised either in the application of pain (be it torture or murder) or the threat of receiving s...

my second attempt at grissini breadsticks after a failed attempt a few years ago (where they tasted far too soft and doughy) i think these are looking much more promising, though i'm still waiting for a lot of them to cool down problems: length - had to loop em to fit on the tray

some scrangly looking long breadsticks protruding from a measuring jug

i'm still poor on ammo by my standards, 30 shotty, and like 100 pistol but that's an improvement on how i entered the mission the fact never having played this level before i just walk into all the secrets as i clear the monsters says something about how diluted the word 'secret' has become

So much misinformation being spread on tiktok about the new EHRC Code by seemingly well meaning cis people who simply have not read a single thing trans people have been saying about this code or bathroom bills in general, and it's all being amplified by terrified and misinformed trans people.

the classification of secrets does not feel egregious, the keycards are used well, the enemy balance is also good (no tomato or baron spam) my god there are so many closets and traps in this map lol, practically every room is a trap of some sort

e2m6 nasty level, but ultimately respectable design wise lots of tight corridors and dark areas (though the level practically thrws night vision goggles at you, didn't realise this until i'd already cleared the maze in the pitch black darkness though...)

exiting the level is a secret, i just, what are you doing sandy??? the level itself is just two boring rooms with some tomatoes and barons dumped in it, what the fuck are you doing sandy?!?!? to leave the level you need to use three keycards, all of which are found right next to each other...

e2m9 is an embarrasment to the name of doom it would be embarrasing for an early fan made level, let alone a secret level included in the final product,
