That's fair.

I'm a massive nerd for level design, and in my mind massive sprawling (especially proceedurally generated) maps/levels are a scourge on modern gaming.

I don't think it's hugely controversial, but I view E1M1 as possibly one of the best levels ever designed. But then again I also view Doom as more like a dungeon crawler RPG that just happens to be first person and real time, so who knows?

I think I also tend to be more into simpler games than ones with too many bolted on systems, which might also be why I tend to favour older ones (or indie ones).

Maybe that's the point? Newer Doom games aren't especially top tier FPSs, and you can find better examples of them (Bioshock (not so modern anymore), the alien-dinosaur-robot spaceship thing, and probably others). So they don't make the list, and then Doom holds the classic place and genre defining status. (Hexen and Strife were never gonna make the list).

I agree that Super Mario Bros could do with a new lick of paint (and think Nintendo has given it more than a few of them) to bring it up to par. Doom, I'm less sure needs updated graphics, but I don't think it'd hurt if it kept everything else the same.

(Favourite Doom levels are probably E1M8, E2M9, and some D2 and TNT and Plutonia levels I can't call to mind off the top of my head.)

I've come to the conclusion I'm incredibly biased on this matter and also that you're entitled to your own opinion, and appreciate that you've responded kindly and patiently.

Have seen a lot of stolen bikes in my town, and my brother's front wheel was nicked last week, and he sent me a forks down photo.

I also noted that as a detail for the police report part. But missed out on checking for cctv or the like. Which is odd as I usually clock them, amongst other things in physical spaces in day to day life.

The first Lemming you replied to here.

I don't disagree with you in that post.

But I think that for that unemmeshment to work we'll have to end Capitalism first. Once that's done small scale local communities with large scale networks for sure could do a good job with education and roads.

You sound unsure.

What are your specific feelings on Knee Deep in the Dead level design? Do you enjoy inventory management?

What're your views on original Super Mario?

In which aspects?

I think the level design holds up incredibly well, and in fact is an example of what to do. It's also not overencumbered by modern bloat.

Have you played it?

Quick question: have you played original Doom?

1. White/colourless ball. And honestly, more of a circle viewed from a perfect side on angle.
2. I didn't visualise a person only the effect of their push on the ball. And like another poster corrected the slide to a roll.
3. See above.
4. Ball was of uncertain size. It was viewed side on, and no other objects to give a sense of scale. Maybe tennis ball sized, but I think that's retroactive.
5. Table was rectangular and wooden. But no legs. Unsure of the thickness.

Included the timely-ness of the details in my answers above.

Interesting point and I'm glad you made it, with a thought (?) experiment to check.

I think I am somewhat aphantastic, but not officially diagnosed.

1. Front forks down.
2. No other damage.
3. No other bikes, bike racks, or even street furniture. But as I read this question I retroactively added in the bike rack and street furniture outside my hometown's library. :::

嗯，嗯。还谢谢你的话。老师说简单的说人才能懂我的意思。说英语的时候我太爱用复杂的句子。

民族主义不是第一种的原因。但是我还是觉得攻击者的背景会有相同的。 我认为他们跟美国的乱开枪者类似。18-50岁男的，生活不愉快，感觉没得到应该得到的东西（钱，女人，房子，工作）。

还有我记得看到外交部说那个孩子还有那个女交通司机被杀了和他们的话没关系不仅不对，而且丢脸和尊重。 其实我还觉得那些幼儿园攻击的受害者家人更难过因为他们的丧亲是不能公之于众。那样太难过。

我觉得有两个不同的情况。

第一是几乎随机暴力事情。幼儿园刀杀很普遍的。他们觉得社会错，不敢或者不能想到政治上的原因。就觉得他们自己或者＂完美＂社会有矛盾。 还有儿童是社会的未来。去抹杀他们是攻击社会的未来。

第二是跟最近几个月的中国人去抹杀住在中国的日本人的案子。这些明显跟中国政治台上说的话有关的。

不好意思我中文有点差，还在学习。

Yes, the famous oppression of roads, schools, non-for-profit admin, and health care.

I kinda agree, but B2/W2 was actually peak Pokémon. You should give those games a go, it's samey but polished to rubbish-bag shiny perfection.

Mostly agree... Not sure why you think it's limited to Western countries though unless you're including India and China as well as Japan as Western.

And since it's a feature of Capitalism, I don't imagine the rest of the world is immune to it.

Where my Alevis at?

I think the footnotes enhanced my love of that book.

And I alway think kindly of Pterry's nested footnotes.

And still footnotes >>>>>>> [...] >>> endnotes.

Only when not looked at on a global scale (such as 1% owns 99% being assumed to be about the USA rather than global wealth). Mormengil's opening response is very feels over facts (also the claim that there was no state support for the poor can be technically true, but churches and local elite as well as royal dictat were often involved in poor relief and charity in the Middle Ages), the later response are better detailed.

And in the 1200s, global wealth inequality and access to food was for much of the world better or comparable to where it is now.

But global wealth inequality and access to food got worse after colonisation rearranged American and then African economies for European, and then USAian, benefit.

AI is already filled with implicit bias towards the current status quo. It can be very tricky to get AI chatbots to give anything other than platitudes about inequality, and they're often very quick to try to shut down or redirect talk of system change. To think that they'll not reflect continued post colonial and extractivist systems of power seems, to me, shortsighted.

What criteria were used for drawing the state borders?

Only it feels right and looks nice, right?

Damn, don't let whoever replied see any of these other ant emojis or their peace of mind will be gone for good.
