low-resolution blood, bleeding from the eye (Doom PWAD textmode end screen) 

To celebrate #Doom's 31st anniversary, here's the ENDOOM (#textmode end screen) I did in 2023 for "Perdition's Gate Resurgence", a PWAD with an Ancient Egypt theme that, as of this writing, is almost done. You can find the development thread here on Doomworld: doomworld.com/forum/topic/9485

netizen.club/~wildweasel/updat - Today's acquisitions update comes by way of a gift from a Friend of Golfshrine, Herzog Zwei. A whole new experience with Sierra's TrueSwing system, in PGA Championship 1999.
