clacke: Modern Vintage Gamer: "Doom didn't kill the Amiga...Wolfenstein 3D did"Great overview of one strong technical reason why the Amiga faced challenges in 1992, as well as an overview of what's been happening in Amiga 3D or pseudo-3D gaming in the three decades since.I have one quibble with the narrative: "chunky mode" isn't called "chunky" because of low resolution or anything else about how the output looks.It's "chunky" because you can write a pixel in one write, one byte, one chunk of bits, instead of it being spread over multiple bit planes.The comments explain why even fast chunky-to-planar conversion or a faster CPU wouldn't have helped -- the Amiga's Chip RAM simply had too low bandwidth.I would love to see a video on the technical details on how 2020s 3D games for the Amiga manage to get around that and create an experience for the Amiga 500 that nobody in 1992 managed to create even for the double-bus-width, double-clock-frequency, fewer-cycles-per-instruction Amiga 1200.farside.link/invidious/watch?v…youtube.com/watch?v=wsADJa-23S…#Amiga #Amiga500 #Amiga1200 #IDSoftware #Wolfenstein #Wolfenstein3D #Doom

blacksam: Increasingly, reading through my D* stream has become un-witting doomscrolling. More and more people whose content I used uo enjoy have become relentless, high-volume, single-issue link/tweet spammers. I find myself forced to block them to keep them from dominating my feed with their pet issues. Is it just me? #diaspora #doom

gllmhyt: Il fait plutôt une ambiance à écouter du #doom (Amenra, Lethvm, Dead Nectar, Green Lung, OLDD WVRMS, Verdun, Marche Funèbre, Windhand, Yob, entre autres) mais du stoner c'est bien aussi, genre SLIFT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knzsyZWbN7g

musicman: I'm listening to it again and it's not just the vocals. I think I might appreciate it more in the winter, on a long bike ride. In the winter I love me some atmospheric black, but it's completely dropped out of my charts: https://www.last.fm/user/DouglasAWh/listening-report/week black metal was the only metal genre to crack my top 5 last year: https://www.last.fm/user/DouglasAWh/listening-report/year #doom, #power, and #progressive all in there, but no metal since the week of June 14. Some sort of #metal is likely to make it back on the charts after this week though. We shall see! Of course, if we looked at track length, metal would undoubtedly be higher on the list. Plus, I don't scrobble all the Open Metalcast I listen to while on my bike rides. I found the pausing and skipping around shows to cause things to be scrobbled multiple times, but my rides are longer now. Maybe I could give scrobbling those a shot again...not that that would tell me much about what I was listening to on the shows, but it would increase the metal tag.

lyrilith: I love the Doom soundtrack from Mick Gordon. Yes, yes.. "BFG Division" rocks, but somehow I like "Vega Core" just a bit more. :D Especially when it kicks in at 1:36 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XYZXqOiNoM #music #soundtrack #doom

claudiom: So, where have I been all day? Aside from chores and errands, I've been playing #DOOM (both old and new) the entire evening. My eldest son and I have been alternating gameplay.

bobjonkman: This implies that it is possible to code the original #Doom in a single webpage (probably as a #Javascrippled page of the usual inefficient and unaccessible kind)

musicman: @craigmaloney You've played them before, but if you haven't checked out the January release, it's worth a listen: https://nolens.bandcamp.com/ -- as you're probably aware, I'm not super into #grindcore, but this has enough #doom / #sludge to keep things interesting. !metal
