Anyone else have some fun hobbies?

Typical 80’s kid. All around Video/Board gamer, 80’s rock. Read comics. Watch Action/SciFi movies.

Favorite boardgame: Space Base
Favorite video game (story): Bioshock (Would you kindly …)
Favorite video game (Exploration): Original Zelda, Zelda: Link to the Past, Elden Ring

I paint mini’s out of necessity. I get tired of picking the wrong character because everything is a sea of grey.



The most interesting hobby is being a wildlife soft release site. These are the raccoons we had this past fall. We’re getting ready to have more raccoons and some squirrel’s.

Also, a gamer which is not as common for older females. DOOM is the game of choice right now, when I have time.

We also foster puppies. This is our current foster.

wow… haven’t heard THAT in years. I worked on a tech support team in the mid-90’s that shut down for lunch and we all shot each other up. It’s evolved since then…

I pay attention to way too much nerd stuff to avoid frequent DOOM mentions. Getting DOOM to run in unlikely places is a whole thing.

We did the same when I worked in the programming department in the 90’s. We’d play first person shooter games on the pc during lunch hour. Great way to spend lunch. Then on the weekends we’d get together and have tournament matches with Halo.

Doom runs well in Javascript…
Should we port it to Epicor? LOL
Now i’m kind of curious if we could have a dataview somehow decide the map layout dynamically.. each screen could be it’s own level!

Only if it’ll run in a Linux container.

I’m surprised @klincecum hasn’t already!

So you’re the one…

I enjoy microwaving butterflies in my spare time

Microwaving? I thought pulling the wings off was the fun part.

DJ, Vinyl Record Collector, Pyromaniac and Allotment Holder :face_with_peeking_eye:

We need pictures and videos!

What of my allotment?


Picture of my DJ gear in my bar. excuse the mess, been cataloguing on Discogs all weekend.

I will find some pictures and videos of fireworks etc.. off my phone asap

What kind of allotment?

I remember DOOM. My son (age 3 or 4) was really into Barney the Dinosaur back then.

Someone made a DOOM Mod where the final boss was Barney, singing “I love you, you love me… we’re a happy family” while hurling fireballs at you.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I really enjoyed blowing Barney off the map at the end. I just had to be careful not to run it when my toddler might wander in… “Daddy, why are you killing Barney?”

Dude! I totally remember that mod! And yes, it was awesome! What a good memory :slight_smile:

On a slightly unrelated note, your profile picture looks oddly similar to Doomguy… hmmmmmmmm…

DOOM is awesome, lost a lot of sleep as a kid staying up all night playing it.

Also get a chuckle with all the strange things they get doom running on.

Its like the old “but, will it run crysis” meme that was around for ages. (For those that don’t know, Crysis, when it came out, was a notoriously hard game to run and it would humble even the mightiest of battle stations. It took another couple of generation of computer hardware before most people had a PC that could handle it well)

And now we are in the age of “Scientists have recreated a complete fly brain in a computer and it can interact with a virtual environment”
Yeah.. yeah.. yeah.. cool, but… can it run DOOM?

:sweat_smile:
