  • Well, they’re all good.

    The older ones defined the genre. They’re still fun to play albeit a little dated. No idea how good the Switch ports are.

    Doom 3 is slower and more focused on horror than the others. It’s a good horror fps but not a good Doom game.

    Doom 2016 is the first of the modern Doom games. Fast, brutal, super fun through and through. If in doubt start with that one.

    Doom Eternal is the second of the modern Doom games. It’s even faster than 2016. But it has more focus on using every mechanic at your disposal. Learning those mechanics is a little bit tedious at first. But once everything is available it’s an adrenaline pumping high speed 4D chess. When you’ve mastered everything every fight lets you enter a trance of violence that’s absolute bliss.





  • I really want to like them. They are everything I want in a game. Open levels you are free to approach however you like, a possible stealth approach, nice attention to detail and one of the later games even had native Linux support. But I never could get hooked to the story like other people seem to be.

    I came to the conclusion (based on other games and media as well) that I just don’t like cyberpunk dystopias. Maybe because we’re in one, Miss Turner.















  • What is your end goal? Do you want to back up your videos with minimal storage costs? Compression won’t help you (because videos are already compressed) unless you can accept data loss through re-encoding. Handbrake (or pure ffmpeg) would be the tool to re-encode lots of files. This could save you space but you may have some loss of quality, depending on the configuration you use and how the original videos are encoded.

    If you just want the videos to be available for streaming, tools like Jellyfin or Emby would do the job. They are servers that re-encode your media for streaming on the fly, depending on the client capabilities and your bandwidth settings.


  • I watched some tutorials on YouTube.

    For this image she used live mode of Comics & Anime at about 30% strength. Increasing or decreasing the strength as needed. She painted filled out shapes, like filled out triangles for the mountains, green and blue for the field and sky and the general shape of a bird in orange for the phoenix.

    Just painting the outlines generally doesn’t work as well as using filled out shapes. And it’s important that you describe. what’s in the picture.

    We didn’t use the layers at all. If you can find some documentation on those that would be appreciated, I don’t get them either.

    I recorded her work. I’ll ask her if I may upload it.
