If it took you hours or months to arrive at a particular conclusion, you cannot expect someone else to arrive at the same conclusion after you only try to convince them of your perspective within five minutes…
@matterinthedark@SandyofCthulhu right, and none of that is used here. So all good. ALSO, Sandy didn’t “help” on 1 or 2 levels. He designed 20 of the 27 maps in OG Doom, and 17 of the 32 in OG Doom 2. He is OG core id team 1993-1996.
Sandy is bombarded all the time (busy man, as you'd expect).
I his son and work for him; ping me directly if you needed his attention but couldn't get it. I can ensure he'll respond
Doom 2 level 16 includes my house that I was building at the time. This house is NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE. It is in Rockwall Texas.
Go on Vrbo and look for "home owned by renowned game designer".
Doom
I started on Doom in August 1993. My first task was to prove I had some chops. I was on probation for a month. My first level was E2M6!
I went on to work on 20 of the 27 levels in Doom. When Doom 2 came along, I did 17 out of its 32 levels.
I had other tasks as well. I’m responsible for the final way the BFG 9000 worked for instance. I also named the levels and many of the monsters.
Good times. (I’m in the back row)
Lord of the Rings is a noun; D&D is but a pronoun.
Glorantha is both an adjective and a verb.
Cthulhu is an expletive.
Jack Vance's books are epithets
@SandyofCthulhu wrong, Phantasm 3 - 5 are great popcorn entertainment! (but yes, they are a MASSIVE drop down from 1 and 2). Number 1 is probably in my top 50 favorite horror films.
@OaksDallinH@OaksDallinH I cannot wait until next general conference! Would the Lord possibly approve FOUR conferences per year (quarterly) ? I love 2 hour church...but I LOVE the words of the apostles.
"Some persons have a finely developed social conscience. They respond to social injustice and suffering with great concern, commitment, and generosity. This is surely a spiritual strength, something many of us need in greater measure. Yet persons who have this great quality need to be cautious that it not impel them to overstep other ultimate values. My social conscience should not cause me to coerce others to use their time or means to fulfill my objectives. We are not blessed for magnifying our calling with someone else’s time or resources."
@SandyofCthulhu Perhaps the data combines the small arms owned by the government - US military, plus our extensive law enforcement agencies (federal and otherwise) - with private ownership.
Still, it doesn't pass the smell test to think there's 66 BILLION guns inside the US........
@SandyofCthulhu When I sent him the video of me playing drums to Steeleye Span's "Alison Gross" on my Halloween party last weekend, he just emailed back "I hope you are mostly just selling games." hahaha. He is one of the few men I know who can be both funny and focused at the same time.
