Elementalism Phase 1, the huge GZDoom mapset I've been leading, is finally out after nearly five years of work! Get it here: https://t.co/UPq9VWDDP6 #fps #doom #elementalism

@ThoughtsAccess @Ainslie_Vt @ID_AA_Carmack I've lived on the Eastside for over a dozen years and outside of the massive population increase, I haven't noticed any particular change in the demographics (other than huge over-abundance of working-age people we have now).

@nka979 @tparsi He's talking about trade, not human rights and democracy. Basically that Western countries exploit the rest of the world for their economic benefit. Which everyone already knows, but its unusual hearing a world leader saying it

@sceptress @GovBobFerguson FYI at least in Washington State most energy produced is clean already. This isn't a major pivot or anything.

@HMRCcustomers Hi, I checked that page but it says there's no issue with the service. It's still down for me today. Is this the right place to be submitting my capital gains tax? https://t.co/4bjCvpYaSX

@tdtbaa @DOOM You mean like the whole gameplay video they put out a month ago?

[Ben Mansell @ben_mansell]

@Vile35tv @CreachFeach @DOOM Like others have said, if you don't do the thing, the monster just wakes up. You can completely ignore the system and just shoot them to death if you like. Street Fighter 2 and every fighting game since has the same stun system, and no-one has ever called them QTEs.

@rust_23 Given the game has full cross-progression (it tracks your progress across all platforms simultaneously), I'm curious how you think the game should achieve that, if not with an account that you sign into?

[Ben Mansell @ben_mansell]

@Bridgeburner4 @AmuscariaArts @KevinMartins And then I converted it to a model and thus took all those lines away. 🙃

Elementalism Phase 1 has received its likely last update - v1.3. A handful of bugs and a few graphical enhancements, including a proper vista for the Fire episode. Now, roll on Phase 2! Eventually! https://t.co/rqmJ8hxHwF

@winnersusedrugs @wsdot As a British immigrant used to saying "The M1" or "The A1" etc. for UK roads, this is what I do. "The I-5", "The I-405" etc.

@har_joel @formullana @LewisHamilton Ok. Well at least you now have seen an article like the one you described. So that's a win for you!

[Ben Mansell @ben_mansell]

@RadJordy @NashMuhandes Real parallax skyboxes have been possible in GZDoom for a little while, I used a bunch in my recent megawad. They add such a huge amount of weight to a scene.

[Ben Mansell @ben_mansell]

@har_joel @formullana @LewisHamilton I was curious if this was true about him never acknowledging Ron Dennis. The first Google hit I found was an interview where he does (https://t.co/0sh15NDWY4). So may I ask, how come you said this?

[Ben Mansell @ben_mansell]

@Batandy_ I was half tempted to build the same joke, glad someone actually did it!

So, today I updated Ultimate Doom Builder and when I opened GS3 I noticed that the program mapped an entire secret area by itself. I'm sure of it cause I haven't touched the map tools since a few days, has this happened to anyone else? #goldensouls #NieRAutomata

[Ben Mansell @ben_mansell]

@pr_830 @HellforgeStudio @majorarlene @Theremmirath @JamesPaddock @TristanClark97 Nope, it'll always remain a free mod for Doom. Hellforge Studios has a raft of Doom mods on its books in addition to commercial games.

[Ben Mansell @ben_mansell]

@stevo_from_nz Looks like you're using a very old version of GZDoom (4.4.2), which is probably causing the issue. You'll need to upgrade to GZDoom 4.7.1 or newer.

@idTechpics I'm working on Elementalism, a mapset for GZDoom that features some of the most advanced maps we could muster in the context of the original game. The first of two planned phases came out a couple of months ago: https://t.co/jQD6wDYXqQ
