  • I am very happy with this! As an original Doom player, I would often like to explain to younger gamers that the whole zoomer-shooter thing came later with Q3 and the like and that many of us played all the Doom titles much more calmly.

    I am not a fan of multiplayer but “Martin did reveal in the Q&A that “exploration is a huge part of the game”, but it’s more of “an expanded linear experience” than true open world.” , so I am fine.

    The only thing that I still fear will survive is all the candy-colored stuff popping out of monsters, which is needed when playing at a very high pace, but breaks the illusion for me.



  • I had a discussion on an industry Slack yesterday with a guy because I called Elon a nazi.

    The guy brought immediately the discussion in DM and there I noticed he was wearing a kippa in his profile picture so I asked where was he from…

    And he snapped and started to call me a jew hater and telling me that I wanted to bring him to the gas chambers and all the usual bullying.

    Turns out the term they are using to make this connection is called Holocaust Trivialization.

    I screenshot the whole discussion, blocked him everywhere I could find him (as I am doing with all Israeli people and businesses to be fair) and kept going with my life while he was still spewing insults at me.

    This guy is the frontman of the most important conference in my industry.

    Keep ready.






  • Due to events in my life, I had to go through anger management courses and therapy. When they were finished I continued Stoicism-inspired meditation. Anger almost disappeared completely from my life.

    One thing I noticed only later is how I had almost abandoned all social media platforms in the meantime.

    That and at some point people that I got to know primarily through social media interaction voiced the fact that my reputation in their eyes grew, although never having been necessarily angry with them.
