Doomworld - AKA Troonworld, a dedicated safe space for pedophiles and megalomaniacs - Corrupting the Doom community since 2016

[HumptiDouji]

I was merely pointg out the absurdity of Gappy talking about "artistic integrity" and calling his mid 90's maps "garbage", when he himself creates much worst maps in 2023/24, in the comfort of a much more advanced and easy to use editor.

Fair, he's a very boring and pretentious creator, I'll agree with you on that.

I just fucking hate Tim Wallets, and a lot. It was for instance his insistence that Quake 2's AI should be dumber and easier, and he's currently one of the heads of Embracer, which is like a Mini-EA for classic western videogames. Gearbox being procured by Embracer effectively meant that the Duke Nukem IP went from one frying pan into another one, which was very blueballing news at the time.

How the fuck did open, almost faggy displays of hypermasculinity and heavy metal machismo like DOOM and Warhammer 40k attract so many troons and twatwaffen SS fuckbags who want all the musclebound mass murdering fascist agitprop heroes of the Will to be sideshave blue hair they/xems? Is it deliberate or did these franchises always attract confused miscreants obsessed with escapism? Dumb question on my part probably.

Could that explain why 3DRealms and Slipgate Ironworks have had a lot of layoffs recently, and it's mostly the people who were tied to doom modding scene one way or another?

I wondered the same thing for a long time, and i finally came to a logical conclussion - it's not Doom the Game that attracts troons and fags, it's Doomworld and the people behind it that do it. That forum is the only place where these people feel important and valued, and it's the only place where they can jerk each other's egos off, because the rest of the real and gaming world doesn't give a shit about them.

In a way it's dumb question, yes, although not so dumb if you'd think about it.
For the most of it yes, it's all about the escapiam, many of... "people"... and skinwalkers that delude themselves they are true and honest wuhmen, look up for the shelter from reality and it just happens so that both WH40k and Doom are very welcoming communities overall.
That's where the issue is. Lack of proper gatekeeping when it's a necessary measure. Now we have two communities/fandom lethaly riddled with sex pests and deviants that push boundaries of normalcy and morality to their absolute absence.

Just think of it for a second: should pedophilia be "repented, forgiven" and allowed to be practiced almost all of these faggots will come up as kid diddlers because government allowed that, because they ALL are lusting for that cunny, they are evil but allowed to be recognized and patronized and if you're pedophobe you're reecist bigot nazi conservative Neanthertal ice cave dweller.

Doomworld itself is a rotting carcass that only still exists because all other real alternatives (like NewDoom forums, where a lot of important mapping lessons used to be) already died off. The Doomer Boards, for example, only slowly gain new members, because the entire default forum design is downright ugly, which is both a good and bad thing. It scares off most of the mouthbreathers. But outside of the DBPs it doesn't have much going on and 40oz spends more time writing long winded texts about how he tries to (pathetically) appease Troonworld, instead of actually getting things done. Plus he went AWOL (again) and has left no secondary in charge of the website.
/vr/ is a pozzed shithole filled with tranny jannies and legit schizos who will do anything in their power to undermine and dox mappers they don't like, exactly like that one guy tried to warn us about earlier in this thread. It has only gotten worse in the past years. Unfortunately there's not much choice at this point in time.

Now why exactly is DW a carcass, here's a list:

• The "website" has abandoned or hidden almost all primary functions, it is mainly a forum now. It doesn't even have a working news section anymore. It used to be normal for big mappers to have entire sub-webpages of their projects hosted on that websites, now all you have is the forums and the Cacowards, the rest is hidden.
  
  
• The downloads section is a broken pile of shit that hasn't been worked on for half a decade. It only features idgames archive stuff up until 2018. It has missing pictures, broken links etc. The original idgames archive is still heavily in use and they still forced it to deactivate the comments section on maps. Essentially, if you posted anything in the idgames archive post 2018 and you're not part of the trannycord community, you're screwed. The worst part about this is that nobody on Troonworld seems to give a crap, no one takes responsibility, not a single fucking user there in all those years stepped forward for an attempt to fix the situation.
  
  
• We all know this by now, but I'm just gonna say it again: The hostile takeover by leftists, idiots, attention whores & freaks since 2016. Doom became too popular and the old guard actively invited the servants of Slaanesh to take their places and / or corrupt them entirely. Nepotism is rampant, grooming is a daily occurence and invitations to Discord channels are handed out like candy to kids. Free speech is banned and "radical" views are punished without warning. Old and ancient members have been banned without mercy, and somehow the faggot responsible for the Anti-Carmack thread was not publically drawn and quartered.
  
  
• Abysmal mapping culture - Users on Doomworld waste more time dreaming and writing about things they wish to get done, than actually getting shit done. Mentally handicapped retards and underage children keep spamming the same kind of "first map" threads with *horrible 5 minutes of work - projects* that would have been deleted instantly in a different time. Since there is no free speech anymore, only the "nice guys" are left, and they either give them a pat on the back, post a stupid instruction video from YouTube or write long-winded essays that serve no purpose, other than make the poster feel superior and the new guy utterly confused. True critiscism or gatekeeping could get you instantly banned. This spam clogs up the view of the first forum page, which can mean life or death for actual serious mapping efforts. Speaking of "mapping efforts", this is where we come to to the breaking point for each mapper. They have three options: Join / create a community project, keep making solo projects or go renegade (i.e. don't bother with Troonworld).
  • Most community projects on DW are created by attention whores who have no talent, no ambition and no work culture. The people who join them are usually just as lazy and untalented and hope to get carried by more prominent users who submit "better" maps. There have been untold amounts of CPs that were either abandoned, delayed for years, half-assed, had to be finished by someone else entirely, or had an insurrection where the original guy was kicked out. Many more never even had a proper start. It goes as far as some hosts not even being able to make a proper square room in Doom Builder or use SLADE to pack a .wad file. I wish I was fucking joking here. Most of these idiots think they have what it takes to make something the likes of the Community Chest series, from which they usually take the textures from. But here's the difference, when the CCs were made, Doom was still a true niche fanbase with very dedicated and talented hardcore nerds that didn't cut their dicks off and procrastinate all year long.
  • Solo projects: People who do this either improve at a steady pace and some day create a good megawad (too much effort for most and this is how it used to be in old days) or go full retard and make shitty low effort projects (speedmaps, slaughtershit etc, miniwads.). Some even go as far as actively stealing from others, I mean think about it, there are millions of threads on Doomworld you can browse through, made by people that are most likely dead and the download link still works. Yoink! Either way, at some point the non-stupid individuals will realize that nobody seems to give a fuck about their work on Doomworld, no matter how many weeks and months they worked on maps. That's because they weren't part of the cool kids club. And that's the point where they have to choose again... do they go join the cult of Slaanesh to get their daily asspats for their little projects or go renegade?
  • Renegade - that's essentially us, the Doomer Boards or the Russian community (I suppose?). People who do their own stuff far away from the infested Troonworld & ZGroom forums and Discords. We're branded as filth, as nazis, you know ... the usual. We just like to create maps and voice our opinions openly. But hey, Doomworld isn't a democracy, so we're all undesireables.

• The Doom Wikis - They are all connected to ZDoom & Doomworld so the following all makes sense: They are poorly maintained and sometimes downright useless. Missing information on critical subjects everywhere. Some pages are written like you actually have to fully understand the source code of Doom to make use of them. If you're a mapper who wants to learn new things, you're forced to browse through decade old wads to copy & paste functions from them, browse forum posts or repeatedly ask for help in Discords. I know that some asshole will read this part and go "lol skill issue". But let me ask you, what the fuck would you do if you're new to mapping and suddenly (for whatever reason) all Doom forums vanished and you got the error "R_TextureNumForName: SKY3" or "I_SignalHandler: Exiting on signal: signal 11" in your DSDA or PrBoom ports? Fuck you.

When was this?

 

[Zacharin X]

@ArticleWriter , you really summed up the way i (and i'm many others) feel abou the state of Doomworld. Hats down, that was a great written post.


Now, as promissed, here's Gappy's cringy narcisistic "guide" on how to make and run community projects.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/137lzRPu3Gzsc8oWbulMKvsDaGRMQS8D7ByhnmlLgZM4/edit

Tell this guy doesn't think of himself as the next comming of Comunity Project/Mapping Jesus. The following outtake is the best cringe: https://imgur.com/a/dCtFIL6

 

[IKOL]

the Russian community (I suppose?)

Renegates, but not all of us, and to think of it the majority of people from Russian community don't really care for whatever dramas are happening within zgroom or troonworld, they're here to share their shit of casually talk mostly and here's that.
We have rogues of our own, essentially. Those that pander to degenerates. I'd point out ZZYZZX and Agent_Ash. The latter was present in "The fun police" btw.

See this is where he was wrong, he asked Doomworld users to have common decency.

As someone who was there and actively playing when /vr/ first started up and people were organizing /vr/ community servers on Doomseeker, the /vr/ side of the Doom community quickly went pozzed within a matter of months when people started kowtowing to schizo shitters who were stirring social drama for literally no other reason than to stir social drama. Anyone who told them to fuck off, they'd just throw bigger shitfits until they got their way.

Not to mention you had a lot of the well renowned modders like TerminusEst turning into divas and snubbing players in favor of "creators" while never delivering on most of their projects at the time. Notable examples of projects I recall going dead in the water was a Metroid Prime TC, some "speed" and parkour-based TC inspired by JumpMaze, and I do believe a kart racing TC, if anyone remembers those projects from way back when.

Metroid and Kart shit never faded out, they just moved over to the SRB2 side of Doom, which is a whole can of worms on its own.

This is what Doomworld community projects are now

I can't ... I just can't ... look at the screenshot, look at the registration date of this hexSlater guy. It's absolute insanity. This gullible idiot below notices the marked sentence and instead of telling him to fuck off, he welcomes him. DUDE, HOW DO I ADD THE SPIDER MASTERMIND TO DOOM2?! I MUST LEAD A FUCKING COMMUNITY PROJECT!!!

 

[Hooked on phobics]

look at the screenshot, look at the registration date of this hexSlater guy.

What the hell?! Cmon, adding in a spider mastermind is easy as shit, its not even "how do I do triggers on monster deaths" or anything, cmon!!! And why is this fuck trying to launch a mapping project as a new guy, WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO PLACE A MOB!!.... I need to calm down, this shit getting me mad at the internet.

On another note, Judge Dredd is opening a kiwifarms mapping project for gzdoom. I feel like its worth cross posting here since I have an inkling people who post / browse here will probably be significantly more likely to want to be involved. Figure its pertinent enough, but if a mod disagrees, feel free to crucify me or some shit.

 

[Perfect Paz]

It's not just Doomworld, either. You guys ever been on the gzDoom Discord? It has one of those perma-pride logos now. I see them all over the place.

Not sure if this the place to post, but a classic member of ID died today
This is the post of his ""wife"" announcing the death https://nitter.net/burgerbecky/status/1745019247955181958 the twitter https://nitter.net/burgerbecky/

Seems to have trooned out and become a a twitter freak, but still rest in peace I guess

Seems to have worked more in Quake then Doom, but still had a spot
The death seems to be related to Guillain-Barré syndrome, because the spouse was making a kickstarter to fund the treatment

Metroid Dread was never supposed to be a Total Conversion, it was a gameplay mod, and it was finished, no idea if it still works in modern versions of GzDoom though. I forgot the name of the speed/parkour one, but that one ended development because it hit the limits of the engine, the player would go SO fast that GzDoom couldn't keep up, and this would cause problems which couldn't be fixed.

My condolences for Burger Bill's loss, by the way, and sincerely.
I know he wants to be Rebecca, but I can't ever not think of him as Bill.

This is what Doomworld community projects are now

What in the everloving fuck... uuuuurgh
How utterly brainless you have to be to not know how to insert a mob into your fucking map? Mptherfucker, the spider cunts are literally there in the list of monsters you can add to your map in Dom Builder!
Christ... okay, what el~

On another note, Judge Dredd is opening a kiwifarms mapping project for gzdoom.

Oh... You know what? I'll bite. Since I've been starting from UDMF might as well do a map using this format. Fuck, I'm game.

See, at the time, I distinctly recall him mentioning giving up on Dreadnought (honestly forgot the name of it because it's been so many years since then) in favor of working on that speed mod, which then got dumpstered for exactly the reasons you described in favor of DemonSteele. And after all that faggotry I stopped keeping tabs on him because he was acting like a diva bitch thanks to all the /vr/ clout.

Looking into things a bit, I noticed this listed and it feels like it has the bones of that aforemention speed/parkour mod he gave up on.
