I think there should be adult classes for learning things you wouldn't have for not having grown up as a girl.
New on the Secret Area: I hate AI vibe coded game projects.
Terrible machine translations! Barely functional recompilations! It's a hot mess, y'all.
Shares and comments appreciated, as always.

New on Ramen Science!
I travel back in time both with my lunch and with my blog's web design.

the downfall of Tommy Tallarico will never not be funny to me
was looking to get the recent UZDoom, and the second search result was this fake-ass SEO slop likely made with AI
I love the modern internet
Replaying Doom (2016) and was reminded of the SnapMap mode: scores of community Doom levels with a special set of mapmaking tools.
Hearkening back to the old days, yet only usable in the closed Bethesda ecosystem.
Honestly SnapMap deserves a deeper dive now that it's been a decade...
we need more documentation of people playing games like Doom with a flight stick
because unconventional ways to play games will never not seem neat to me
"download SteelSeries GG for free on the Epic Games Store" are words I should not have goddamn read but just did

New on the Secret Area: It's Soldier of Fortune Inc. and the episode "Alpha Dogs."
A computer nerd for the DOD recreates military combat scenarios in Quake, and suddenly gets more what he bargained for.

I swear people who are vehemently so anti "pineapple on pizza" are such weirdos
pineapple on pizza is fine, good grief

New Ramen Science post! It's a quickie one about Cup Noodles and being judged by people with more money than you.

New on Patreon ($1/month or more): It's Soldier of Fortune Inc. and the episode "Alpha Dogs."
A run-of-the-mill 90s action show where one episode has a computer nerd recreating military combat scenarios in Quake, and gets more what he bargained for.

been playing this Quake mod called Peril, and it's pretty impressive
Has fairly large scale maps that at times remind me of Half-Life, with a nice mix of enemies, weapons and locations.
Worth checking out if you like Quake: https://www.slipseer.com/index.php?resources/peril3-0.253/
other examples that would probably fit would be stuff like Quiz Kids Challenge, Rugrats or Seinfeld
"some guy just noodling on a keyboard and using samples to make music" kind of stuff
was listening to this theme song and it brought back memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYEb5WA9BLs
is there a name for this kind of music, where there's sampling of weird noises to make a specific beat

The beauty of working in an office highly integrated with Microsoft products is consistency. You can write a document in desktop Microsoft Word 365 saved as Microsoft's DOCX format so that when you send it to a co-worker on Microsoft Teams and they click on it to open it in web Microsoft Word 365 you can consistently expect the formatting to be completely different.
