Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

I still play a little old school Doom and earlier this year the creator of one of the main engines people use (GZDoom) got some flak for using some AI in his coding, causing a lot of people to switch over to a fork (UZDoom).
I don't miss many things about the old site but the niche communities are one of them. If anyone wants to dive into years of minutiae covering everything from big drama to slap fights you should check out

Man the doom community is some venomous shit in some places.
Brutal doom and its spin-offs => instant drama and apologetics for shitty behaviour.
Engines (see comment above)
Old Doom vs newer doom games.
Mapping/modding.
There’s always some asshole being the worst about peanuts.
I must've missed this
Well I say Peanuts…honest mistake. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah yeah, that makes more sense. I didn't know people had any opinions about Nuts at all these days. It's pretty unremarkable except that it was one of the first giant quasi slaughter maps. Well, that and the fact that you have to run in circles for literal days to collect enough revenant rockets if you want to get 100% kills.

Hobbydrama was one of my favorite communities
I used to read it in bed as a way of falling asleep. Usually just enough drama to not be like reading the dictionary and petty enough to not get me worked up.
