In cases like this I always am reminded of a story I read in high school although I cannot remember the actual title of it. It told of man who many of the people around him were envious of his having everything he could ever want thinking about how easy his life must be and then at the end of the story we find out this man commits suicide for unknown reasons, his having everything and great life not being able to stop his inner personal turmoil.
I guess the moral being that people can look outwardly fine while having real issues unknown to everyone.
Boom
headshot found it!
Richard Cory by Edward Arlington RobinsonWhenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean-favoured and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good Morning!" and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich, yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine -- we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked and waited for the light,
And went without the meat and cursed the bread,
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet in his head.
Ladies and gets behold a mod that almost ruined Doom for me,
Hideous Destructor.This ruined Doom in two ways: no balance, the BFG is ruined.
The mod author ruined the BFG. This is a statement of fact.
The BFG revives monsters, even when gilbed, seemingly at random. You are given no warning about this in the readme for the mod but are given the option to start with a BFG and full ammo. Usage creates “sprites”, you will sometimes see them as random flashes of green light. Use the ‘iddt’ cheat at your AutoMap, these sprites are rapidly moving invisible entities that circle around you. The more you use the BFG the more sprites are created and the faster they revive
anything. Those dead marine corpuses placed through level editing will get up and shoot you dead. The corpses of your dead buddies in corporative or death match will get up and shoot you dead. No corpses? No problem! A flying skull block is created at a random distance away from you, it attacks with the strength of a Baron.
This makes for some hilarious griefing though. Ammo in in Hideous Destructor works differently, you have a bar and inventory. TL:DR 6 cells max inventory, 1 bar is 2 cells. No backpacks exist to extend your limit. Firing the BFG takes 1 bar thus 2 cells. Left click makes you drop a cell depleting most of the bar, right click recharges the bar. Infinite ammo, cells to share with your buddies too! But there is a fun catch, each cell dropped spawns up to two sprites. Use the iddt cheat to see this.
For maximum lulz:
Set up a co-op server, survival with limited lives.
Levels cannot be exited until all monsters are killed.
Large map. Clusters of imps and an arch-vile or two for the lulz.
A BFG for yourself or everyone!
Nothing stays dead! Doom lives up to its title!Balance? Wut dat?
You maximum health is less than 100, cannot go above 100. Regenerating health though.
A healer imp can resurrect almost anything. Warrior imps through homing fireballs that rapidly burn you to death. You cannot roll to put yourself out, you have to shake your mouse back and forth like a spastic. Three imps are a siege, more is doom.
Arch-viles cannot be killed and fucking no clip.
