A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Back on my OG DooM bullshit. I gave Almalgoom a go and it inspired me to get back into mapping again after about 30 years.

Fuk ya man. DOOM will never die. I still open up DOOM 2016 and play that first level on arcade nightmare, just to get a kick.

I've got a folder of all the D1 and D2 standard and freedoom wads. I copy it onto any new linux machine, and I install Boom or whatever.

I have a project that I keep picking up and abandoning for a DOOM OS. Its purpose would be to spin up on a vm, search for a local game, and join a bot to a deathmatch. Each vm would add to the load on the server. How many vms can it run? That's the DOOM quotient. But I'm not very serious about it.
