“She has the blood of reptile underneath her skin”

Updated Intro :3

I just realized that my intro post is old as fuck (like probably almost as old as my account 💀), so here's an updated one :3

Hiya!! My name is Spencer, but most people call me Eddie. My pronouns are he/him, but I'm cool with pretty much anything other than she/her. I'm a ftm trans guy. I just turned 19 so yippie.

I'm super into nine inch nails right now, but I also like a lot of different kinds of music. Some of my favorite artists are adam ant, the murder city devils, david bowie, bad religion, blind melon, death, depeche mode, fad gadget, and incubus. My favorite artists tend to change a lot though. I'm super into horror as a whole both movie and book wise, my favorite movie would probably have to be the crow (1994), though.

I'm mostly a lurker on here, but I do like to draw and I've been thinking of posting some of my art here :3.

On most of my socials, I'm some variant of eddietheehead.png

Here's my strawpage, it has all of my socials and a bit more about me :3 https://spencerismoody.straw.page/

Anywho, have a good day or night, whatever time it is for you :)

Something to think about is how Doomguy's designs may or may not have different shades of green. These being:

the classic (sprites or box art, either or)

Doom 64

Quake 3's Doom

Doom 3 Marine

2016 Slayer

Eternal

and Dark Ages

or at least it's something you can tell your brain is real.

idTechn't

I often see people, especially on YouTube, refer to the engine used in Wolfenstein 3D as "idTech 0", and likewise Doom is said to be "idTech 1". Popular convention so popular even Wikipedia uses it to some degree or another.

I respectfully disagree.

The engines used in Wolf3D and Doom are completely unlike each other, and in turn completely unlike Quake's.

Now, Half-Life was made based on Quake. This is common knowledge — they took QuakeWorld and bits of Quake II and that shortly after became known as GoldSrc. Then they developed the Source engine from that, and Source 2. And even without code access, just from watching others play, you can recognize that there's very specific things common to all of them, from bunny-hopping and other such typical schmovement, to famously the particular pattern in flickering lights.

There are many things in the Quake code that you can directly map to things in Source 2, via Source and GoldSrc.

Having seen the code for Wolfenstein 3D and Doom (and modded the former), I can honestly say that they are basically nothing alike. They are as different from each other as Quake is similar to Half-Life.

You'd have an easier time convincing me that Catacomb 3D and Wolfenstein 3D share a common engine, one being a (vast) improvement on the other but still sharing a ton of code.

I get it though.

idTech 4, the engine for Doom 3, was apparently actually called that when it was made. And it was id's fourth 3D game engine. It makes some sense to retroactively call the other four the same thing. Quake 3 Arena's engine becomes idTech 3, Quake's becomes idTech 2, Doom's becomes idTech 1, and then you run out and have to get cute with Wolfenstein 3D's engine becoming idTech 0.

But it's easier to trace a lineage from idTech 4 to 8, than it is to go back. Because from what I'm seeing Quake, Doom, and Wolfenstein have next to nothing in common besides being first person shooter games made by id software.

have you ever considered drawing the Doom Slayer....in girlmode i think shed look really good in your style

Can't say it's crossed my mind. But I have previously drawn Crash from Quake III, who is basically a lady Doomguy.

[ex-plain]

In the late 1990s up until the early 2010s, fan-made plaintext game guides, hosted on sites like GameFAQs, NeoSeeker, and personal GeoCities pages, formed a parallel canon to official strategy guides available from the stores. Stripped of images, formatting, and sometimes even punctuation, these walkthroughs were designed to load instantly on dial-up connections and to be printed on cheap home inkjets. Within those constraints, ASCII art emerged as a quiet flex, usually elaborate portraits of the main character or the game's logo in blocky monospaced letters. It was digital folk art, born from limitation and a desire to leave a signature. These guides were usually hosted under handles, yet they were obsessively maintained, versioned, and corrected through email feedback. Some authors included full changelogs, legal disclaimers, and even manifestos about plagiarism, because copying and reposting a text file, especially the ASCII art contained within, without permission was the original sin of early game guide culture. ASCII diagrams weren’t decorative alone; they solved practical problems. Before in-game maps were common, a neatly aligned grid of characters would explain in-game geometry and/or the author's advice better than words could. Today, streamers, YouTube playthroughs, and clips have replaced the slow intimacy of reading a guide line by line. When a player gets stuck, they watch someone else do it in real time rather than scanning a text file looking for the answer. As a result, the ASCII-embellished fan guide has become a dying art form, still archived, still searchable, but new guides are rarely being put together now. What’s been lost isn’t just the format, but a particular relationship to games: one where help arrived as dense text, hand-crafted diagrams, and the sense that somewhere, a stranger had spent dozens of unpaid hours turning their obsession into a document for anyone patient enough to read it.
