the-dark-ages

[autumn dawn]

they know who to get instead of frantically shouting "WHO!??!? WHO'S GOOD AT THIS TYPE OF MUSIC?!?!?!!!?!1?!!/"

[frail bloom]

True, I should be more specific. Mick usually composes the tone of his tracks based on the level he's recording for. iirc they never shared any of that footage until it was too late and it led to mick retooling a lot of 2016's soundtrack into different variations,

[plain iron]

Well I presume it was super unplanned if they had such a firm legal deadline 😭

[mental grotto]

Everyone makes mistakes, even big companies. Could’ve been avoided but it happened how it happened. I think it’s clear though that both mick and Marty turned out to be manchildren incapable of admitting wrongdoing lol

[frail bloom]

At least we got finishing move

[mental grotto]

Turned it into a massive pissing contest

[mental grotto]

Cautiously optimistic about them. Personally I was hoping they’d bring Hulshult back

I think he did a fantastic job with the dlc and his work from Dusk is incredible

[frail bloom]

Unrelated but there are people who call hulshult's music auditory slop, in finishing move's comment section, and I just don't understand why people have to put something they prefer on a pedestal and crap on the thing they don't prefer

Cuz I love all their soundtracks

[plucky plinth]

?

[frail bloom]

Bloodswamps and immora are bangers

[plain iron]

The whole mick thing 😭

[plucky plinth]

I was kinda hoping Two Feathers tbh

[mental grotto]

Again, the doom community is a cesspool and people like that are the vocal minority that everyone sees and hears.

[plucky plinth]

To be honest I can’t really explain that publicly

[frail bloom]

I have been pleasantly suprised so far

[mental grotto]

If you haven’t checked out the Dusk soundtrack I would highly recommend it. It’s seriously just banger after banger

[plain iron]

Yeah that's why I asked first 😭

[plucky plinth]

Oh I like Finishing Move’s stuff

I was just saying I would’ve wanted Two Feathers

[mental grotto]

Whole thing’s on Spotify too. Dusk - 1; Doom - 0 lmao

[plucky plinth]

they did a bloody amazing job for Metal: Hellsinger

[frail bloom]

Ofc, I'm a metal newbie tho, not that much of a varied listener but willing to change that

[plucky plinth]

seriously, listen to that game’s OST

it’s fucking insane

[frail bloom]

Well I guess I'll never know

[mental grotto]

Yeah from what I’ve heard finishing move seems really good, I’m just biased towards Hulshult. Really wanted to see an underdog go from working on indie games to a big triple A. Guess he got his day with TAG tho

[plain iron]

He's brilliant imo

[vapid lodge]

upon building the Dark Ages helmet and comparing it to Eternal's, you can see there are 5 crown-like parts on his forehead, the TDA ones are much larger

[mental grotto]

I’d have to agree

[frail bloom]

They're all brilliant, idk what to say but they have distinct sounds

Doom ost always slaps no matter the composer

[mental grotto]

Glazing the dusk soundtrack but his range is incredible, from super heavy tracks to really moody, emotional ambient stuff

[plain iron]

He's also not salty abt not working on TDA too, so he gets a gold star in my book

LOOK AT HIM

[vapid lodge]

Hugo's work here 100% from Pacific Rim

[frail bloom]

I watched the interview kiwi talks had with him and hulshult is so humble it's saddening

He doesn't know the power he holds

[vapid lodge]

oh btw, they announced Pacific Rim 3 guys!!!!

Its called Doom the Dark Ages

[plain iron]

Hrrr you have a point. I just really wanna see that ceremony, to see more sentinel [possibly maykr, if they're involved that way] culture for royalty

Give the pookie a crown

[mental grotto]

I already preordered the collectors edition… my wallet is hurting and I’m resisting buying the fucking helmet as well 😂

[vapid lodge]

yep me too, but im building one too, so I will have 2 lol

[mental grotto]

I guess college is the time to make irresponsible purchases

[mental grotto]

Oh hell yea

[plain iron]

I got both :D I have no money :D

[vapid lodge]

https://imgur.com/a/S71lXAZ

almost done

[mental grotto]

Holy fuck mane

[vapid lodge]

a few more touches for weathering

[frail bloom]

Jeez🔥

[vapid lodge]

no leds yet, im lazy

will post pictures with the full costume at the end of this month

comic con is near

[frail bloom]

Yo I wanna see 🔥

I'll wait tho

[silent surge]

i glanced and this looked official, dang

[harsh egret]

Looks crazy good

[silent surge]

he got to do TAG and also be immortalized with IDKFA

[vapid lodge]

I got the shield too

lemme take a picture

[weary current]

even more reason to like hugo even more

[vapid lodge]

https://imgur.com/a/S4CTxeV

The blades hide too

[harsh egret]

Thats so good lmaoo

[vapid lodge]

Can't post too many links lol

[silent surge]

rad!

retractable blades

[vapid lodge]

it doesn't spin but probably after TDA someone will make the files

[silent surge]

very dadly way to mow, tossing a saw

[vapid lodge]

Mythbusters or Hacksmith should make an actual Shield saw that cuts

You gotta operate that with extreme caution cause you could hurt yourself so easily

[plain iron]

That's why doomguy doesn't have the shield anymore. He broke it mowing the lawn

[dire prism]

what happened to that guy that was playing the dark ages and posted a pic of it in this channel last night? did he get banned or something lol

cant find that image anymore

deleted i presume

[plain iron]

Probably lol

[dire prism]

nvm

it was in a different channel and he wasnt actually playing it i dont think

[plain iron]

[dire prism]

it was something from bethesda_jpn's website or something idk

just thought it was posted in this channel

[plain iron]

I really am excited for TDA I get a pretty helmet and the statue

[dire prism]

lucky lol i never even got a doom eternal helmet either lol

i cant wait man im impatient thats why i had to buy the early access

[plain iron]

Neither lmfao, to be fair I only knew of doom 3 when eternal released

[dire prism]

really wish they didnt do the early access thing but knowing ID its def worth the money
also considering the hype i somehow found out about a similar game that looks really good too, "painkiller"

[dire prism]

oh interesting

i didnt know doom 3 had a (wearable) helmet

[plain iron]

It doesn't :D I just knew of doom 3

Something something I was too young to know what eternal was

[dire prism]

ah gotcha lol

too young to know what doom eternal was?

[plain iron]

I was like. 12 in 2020 lmao

[dire prism]

oh lmao gotcha

[plain iron]

12 turning 13, born in December moment

[dire prism]

ah i see

im personally a june fellow myself

i think i was

[plain iron]

Now im a 17 year old shithead who has spent a ungodly amount on doom.

[dire prism]

12 in 2014

[dire prism]

real, i was just turning 14 right after doom 2016 release so i get ya

so i was (late-year) 13 when it had released now im nearly 23

[plain iron]

2016 is one of my favourite doom games. It's very fun

[dire prism]

its so good

but back then unfortunately i was running a GT 720 could barely handle the game at lowest graphics, resolution, everything lol

[plain iron]

[dire prism]

which was inconvenient but nevertheless the game was great and gave me a great experience overall regardless

so im grateful for what i have

[plain iron]

Doom 3 and 2016 were the first two games for me, I watched my brother/occasionally played it when I was like. 9 or 8, 2016 was in 2023 lmao

[dire prism]

oh that's cool

[vagrant path]

🤷‍♂️

stuff like that is why I choose not to engage in most fanbases

can't get bullied or harassed if I just say fuck it to everyone else

anyways is there any new gameplay yet

[barren iron]

not yet no

[mental grotto]

We do a little trolling its called we do a little trolling

[vagrant path]

this is good too

[mental grotto]

d1 crashout over doom enemy designs lul

[clear gale]

I'm finally getting a gaming pc for Doom

the dark ages

[barren iron]

nice, what specs you getting

[last zinc]

I am so excited for TDA

ngl they better add multiplayer

and online pvp just like eternal

[barren iron]

I don't think they will, they haven't mentioned anything of it

[last zinc]

but I kinda want like a co-op mode it would be cool

[barren iron]

co op definitely isn't happening

[last zinc]

they did the same for eternal

[last zinc]

yeah ik....

[barren iron]

They seem pretty set on this being a single player experience, they could add it later, but I'd be a bit shocked if they did

[vagrant path]

I don't care for multiplayer

quake is there for a reason

[hard thistle]

Preferably not just like eternal's

I just wanna see them do another horde mode for this game

Maybe a better version that isn't so stinking gimmicky

[pallid wing]

Back in the 360 days, co-was a mandatory part of level progression.

I was going to say I loved the charge attack of nuDoom pinkies. It looks like the Stimp will retain that attack. So it's not really going away.
I like how the new pinky looks. But I dunno what he does. He doesn't look armor resistant anymore.

[silent surge]

he’s still a threat

[fleet spruce]

TDA pinky kinda reminds me of a D3 pinky

a 4 legged behemoth

[earnest swift]

Two Feathers didn’t go especially heavy (literally speaking) on the sounds so I’m not sure if they would’ve been the best fit for a "Doom" OST.

On the other hand their most well-known soundtrack outside of that is for "Aragami" so what the hell do I know

[graceful lion]

multiplayer takes years to add

or, atleast takes alot of time to add

becuase ur kinda making the game again in some way

but like, look at the state of multiplayer, pretty much the majority of bethesda's multiplayer modes are completely dead

atleast the doom ones

they dont have alot of players, so theres no reason to add multiplayer

they see it as a waste of money, time, and resources

which could instead be spent making more awesome things or making the game overall better

we'd probably only see two thirds of the things if they added multiplayer

[fleet spruce]

yeah, best case scenario in this case is add some time it later if at all

[graceful lion]

which i personally do not think will happen, they will probably ditch it entirely for this game, and possibly for other doom games aswell

becuase it would likely take a year or more in development time

[fleet spruce]

I agree

[graceful lion]

and would be a waste of resources seeing how unsuccessful eternal's and 2016's multiplayers were

[fleet spruce]

they both had the same issue:
they weren't classic deathmatch

D2016 mp plays more like Halo

and Eternal is it's own thing

[graceful lion]

i dont think that wouldve made the multiplayer profitable enough that id wanted to keep it for tda

mp can only go so far

meanwhile you can make whole ass campaigns or entirely new ideas in the base game, and it wont break

[dreamy kiln]

I think they did make a good choice for multiplayer this time, they don't have to hire another team to work on it and the campaign might be extended alot

[fossil heron]

I heard Hugo said it is Lovecraftian?

I know it looked like Octabrain

Well I like lovecraftian idea anyway!

[harsh egret]

Anyone know when the Gtm doom magazine is out by random chance? I got access to the subscription now and it appears it's not out yet?

[dreamy kiln]

Idk, I'd say just hold out until it arrives

[harsh egret]

I bought the online subscription

But I looked more into it id expect it next week i think

[dreamy kiln]

Well still, you'll probably just have to wait

[hollow sandal]

I wonder if the shield can sustain the full cannonfire volley of the cyber demon

[merry sapphire]

does the game actually recommend an i9 or is that a fake spec list online

[dreamy kiln]

It's not fake and probably yes

[merry sapphire]

im asking this cause i saw two different spec requirements. the one from slayers club say the recommended for ultra 4k is an i7 12th gen but the one ive seen people talking about says its an i9

[harsh egret]

12700k or better is the official one listed by them

[barren iron]

#screenshots message

[merry sapphire]

alright nice

thanks American Hole Wizard

cant wait for the game

I'm exploding.

[plain iron]

SPIKEY TEEF LETS GO

GO WHITE BOY GO

Genuinely such a pretty design

[sterile sage]

Is he the main villain?

[harsh egret]

they labeled him as "the villain of the dark ages story"

[sterile sage]

There could be multiple villains

[plain iron]

God I can't wait till folk get the 3d file for that mf. Gonna try and make a cosplay of this mf

I'm genuinely fucking batshit insane

[barren iron]

this looks like something out of Hellraiser, I dig it

[plain iron]

He kinda looks like the nun, from the nun.

[barren iron]

lmao he does

why does every humanoid (including doomguy) in this game have such good drip lmao

Like, the Slayer has the fur cape, ahzrak has this dope af cloak/robe thing and the Tyrants I think also have fur capes

[plain iron]

Awh you can't love a character if they're a hot mess fashion wise

[plain iron]

Robes seem to be a thing w hell royalty, it's rather interesting

[barren iron]

Also I'm just realizing that Ahzrak's robe looks very form fitting

[plain iron]

OH MY GOD HES WEARING A CORSET.

[barren iron]

actually now that I zoomed in, that upper half almost looks like some sort of light plate armor

[autumn dawn]

Thomas' day keeps getting better and better

This man is wearing a corset I'm gonna bite someone

[barren iron]

I mean, look good, sacrifice good?

but honestly the dude belongs on a fashion runway lmao, like the fit, the stance?

[plain iron]

HES LITERALLY FROM THAT ONE LADY GAGA SONG OH MY GOD

Oh if he doesn't wind up queer ima shave my head again

[final dune]

Man I hope we get a trailer soon with all this info

[barren iron]

I just want them to release some 4k wallpapers

[stoic spoke]

so doomslayer is gonna be killing an emo vampire dude wearing a corset? sounds good

[plain iron]

He's literally a romantic goth

Go white boy go

[stoic spoke]

bro just tryna cope after his demon gf broke his heart man

maybe doomslayer should just show em his guns

can go both ways tbh lmao

[plain iron]

He's definitely the kind of guy to not gaf

[stoic spoke]

"Demon? Yeah youre not living dude"

[small echo]

This feels like a stupid question but buying tda premium edition of ps website is the physical copy right

[plain iron]

"Demon more like deez nuts"
– doomguy probably

[stoic spoke]

or just "Damn this metal music is sick" - doomslayer with his helmet at full blast

[plain iron]

He listens to 2010 white girl music wdym

[stoic spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/piccolo-speed-ishowspeed-please-i-need-this-trying-not-to-laugh-gif-17435075734837336896

probably

[plain iron]

I'm sorry but he blasts Katy perry and he's cried to 'Shallow' by Lady gaga he's just that guy

[stoic spoke]

at least he doesnt listen to taylor swift

lady gaga i can get behind

[plain iron]

Agreed, that's something I'll believe in

He's literally me when I was 10 listening to 'I kissed a girl' w my sony walkman 😭

[stoic spoke]

idk if a demon killing human marine who went insane in hell has that specifically in his walkman

but he probably had a walkman

[plain iron]

Def a walkman dude. He thinks Apple is annoying

[autumn dawn]

Caramelldansen

yes or no

[plain iron]

Yes.

[autumn dawn]

[plain iron]

He's just so girly pop

[sand dirge]

Who here preordered the collectors edition

[harsh egret]

🖐️

[plain iron]

Meee :3 I did and now I'm suffering

[barren iron]

All I"m getting is the premium upgrade on gamepass

[wind dew]

Got a message saying my dark age’s helmet will ship soon

[plain iron]

YEAH?? dawg that's so cool

[wind dew]

I am giddy as Doom Slayer in a demon store

[grim cloud]

trailer #2 next week?

im addicted to hype, i need to get more hype brain chemicals

[spare panther]

what makes you say next week?

[harsh egret]

imo i think i just have a feeling its next week

it feels right, later than that and its getting worrying

[grim cloud]

well its a guess, and the 1 month till release is tuesday

[spare panther]

oh damn thats right

time kinda flies

[grim cloud]

once that trailer drops, marketing freight train will be running us over

[spare panther]

im so ready

[plain iron]

I hope I can buy a cutout from the local game store

[grim cloud]

i want a hugo/josh stream, They can play the seige level at the very least. Not sure if we need more levels showcased as much, but till take a tease or two

[barren iron]

I'd love maybe a breakdown of some of the new deomons

[grim cloud]

half the damn game for Eternal was pretty much shown before it came out

i dont want that

[barren iron]

Like from an art perspective why they did what they did, etc

[plain iron]

I just hope now that we got Ahzrak's concept art we'd at least get a voice reveal

[spare panther]

im pretty glad theyve only really shown 1 level out of 22

[plain iron]

Or maybe even a proper model reveal

[grim cloud]

super gores nest, mars core, exultia, cultist base and taras nabad was all shown. too much imo

[harsh egret]

we know what he sounds like

he talks for like 3 seconds in the gameplay sizzle teaser thingy on yt

[plain iron]

Wait we do

[harsh egret]

yh he goes "all the power of hell cowering before one man 😈 "

[plain iron]

Awh fuck

[grim cloud]

2016 had Foundry, kadingir, Resource operations, laz labs, titans realm and the final level Argent dNur. Way too much there too

[harsh egret]

he sounds cool asf

yeah i think its cool that we are barely scratching the surface while being only 1 month away

[grim cloud]

Ahzrak sounds like Alarak from Starcraft II, wonder if its the same voice actor - John de Lancie

[harsh egret]

and i love that they were hiding cut scenes and stuff at previews

some of them at least

[plain iron]

I wanna hear the kreed maykr too

I wanna see if he sounds like a pug breathing.

[harsh egret]

lmfao

[plain iron]

Yknow that one meme of that pufferfish eating a carrot? That's how he sounds like.

[harsh egret]

hahah yeah me and my friends had it as a discord sound effect lmao

[plain iron]

It's literally him

Ough

[wind dew]

@harsh egret we both had the same idea for pfp pic and banner lol

[harsh egret]

lmao yeah i changed my thing as soon as i saw the banner posted

very gigachad

[wind dew]

Same

[barren iron]

I love the hyper realistic pinkies, or like pinky adjacent demons

[frail bloom]

POV: You🔽

[plain iron]

I'll shave my head for a Ahzrak cosplay if I have to

I don't wanna lose my mullet but I'll live

[frail bloom]

Why does he look like a long baby

His face is so chubby

ASSRAK EMOJI NOW

[frail bloom]

Are the horns part of his suit btw

[plain iron]

They appear to be

[frail bloom]

So he's a long pale baby

👍

Yorch torch games at it again
"The real question gamers, is the campaign woke"

"Also, apparently some people don't like the cacodemon so imma pretend that it's lame so I can fish for likes, and boost my ever growing status"

[plain iron]

I'd presume he'd have a gradient, maybe on his legs

[frail bloom]

Hmmm

Red to white or grey to white

[plain iron]

Imagine if he has pointy sharp leg

[barren iron]

I love ragebait gaming youtubers, mostly because the comments aren't about the video, but rather the content creator getting called out for making said content

[plain iron]

White to darker red.

[frail bloom]

Yeah I watch sneakycacti all the time

[lofty hull]

U guys know that one Warhammer 40K clip where the iron fists {the yellow space marines} are marching with the Dreadnought and all that other stuff, I think the one where they are marching on Terra? I think that will be the average demon formation on the nightmare and above

[tropic adder]

I just realized something that could be a huge spoiler... and a vibe killer for me. 😦

[scenic lichen]

are we not getting a baron of hell, pain elemental, or archvile in TDA?

[sleek ermine]

archvile prolly nah but the rest is hmmmm

[scenic lichen]

kinda sad i loved the archie in eternal

[grizzled thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/archvile-intro-doom-eternal-demon-gif-16987418

[dire prism]

Now that I think about it

This guy hasn't even been shown in Dark Ages yet, has he?

nvm apparently im illiterate too

didnt see the previous messages

[hard thistle]

They haven't shared enough info for us to determine that

[grim cloud]

who says there is no AV? we dont know yet, but AV is a higher evolved form of the imp, so maybe not. Imp -> Stalker -> Summoner

i would count on some type of demon taht summons others.

[hollow sandal]

@grim cloud would you happen to know if the shield can sustain the full cannonfire volley of the cyber demon?

Before the gage depletes

[grim cloud]

which cyberdemon?

winged tryant, maybe, baalgar doubtful

[hollow sandal]

Ok yea the winged Tyrant

Baalgar? Is the the big spider demon?

[frail bloom]

They said biggest roster

[hollow sandal]

Cyberdemon is a class? I never knew that 🙃

[frail bloom]

35 so far, 32 if you don't count the tanks and carriers

9 more demons and it surpasses tag

Tag has like 40 demons in total iirc

[dreamy kiln]

I hope they add a lot more in tda

[grim cloud]

i want every demon and variant in tda, but that will not happen

[hollow sandal]

A lot more of what?

[dreamy kiln]

Demons

[frail bloom]

We still haven't seen archviles, barons, pain elementals, chaingunners and the bosses so that should add up

[grim cloud]

there better be baalgar(s)

[dreamy kiln]

Chaingunners don't make sense in tda so I'd understand why they'd leave them out, but the others are another story

[grim cloud]

Spider Masterminds, gimme them too

[grim cloud]

well i dont count that because they really just obstacles. I am also not really counting Titans because they are not fought in the standard combat loop

I dont count bosses as well for that reason, boss count is a seperate category of demons, unless you refight them later in the camp

[zealous crag]

Tanks are very disapointing in What we saw

They are just better looking turrets

[grim cloud]

yah just turrets, not really a enemy, much lke the tentacle

[zealous crag]

They dont Even try to take new strategic positions by moving, just immobile parry check

[zealous crag]

Im disapointed because they were looking so cool and i mean, a TANK in Doom is crazy at first

[grim cloud]

well i count about 14 base enemies, not counting variants and subclasses. That total brings about 24ish, not sure if i cound a manc wearing armor as a variant or just a subclass

[graceful tulip]

Damn they’re already sending out the TDA helmet

[frail bloom]

How? Sentinel chaingunners, we have multiple enemies with chaingun weaponry

[frail bloom]

Yeah it would be cool if they circled you but I guess they're too big for that

[dreamy kiln]

Yes but the chaingunner is more of an earth enemy

[frail bloom]

What about the soldiers?

Just make a demonic bald sentinel warrior with a chaingun

[dreamy kiln]

While yeah it'll be cool to see zombie sentinels, it just wouldn't make sense for them to use chain guns

[frail bloom]

*energy chainguns

Like the arachnotron and cybie

[dreamy kiln]

Yes but I think they're mostly gonna use magic and other things

[frail bloom]

They promised us the largest roster, they better keep their word

[dreamy kiln]

They might have a better roster but not every enemy is returning

[frail bloom]

At least the archvile, baron and pain elemental

Otherwise I'll riot

[dreamy kiln]

Probability

[frail bloom]

I never expected to see a classic imp so I don't see why they wouldn't but we'll see

It's the lack of info tbh

I get that they may be avoiding what they did in eternal but we know virtually nothing

[dreamy kiln]

We'll see when the game comes out

[zealous crag]

Maybe yeah it would take too much to get working. Imo if its only for them to be immobile they should just make them cool turrets, less big

Sorry for mid english

[zealous crag]

We have 3 imp variations in a single game that crazy

Wasnt expecting the one from eternal and 2016

[frail bloom]

Ofc that's why I expect more variants

[zealous crag]

Stone imp

[frail bloom]

We have a cosmic baron so I assume we have baron variants

A classic archvile would work so well ingame and look cool alongside the classic imps

Just my headcanon

[zealous crag]

I love barons from 2016, and it would be logical I think to see them because they are ancient no ? While eternals one are a step up in évolution/species variation

[frail bloom]

I would think classic barons make sense, since they are in the codex in eternal

[zealous crag]

The Classic are BUFFED i love it , and yeah why not Classic archville for our suffering

Hope they are doing more this Time than hiding in corners spawing demons

I know it wont happen but i want to 1v1 a baron that have also a flail and medieval armor

[frail bloom]

Same, if it's cool put it in

[zealous crag]

Ngl I enjoyed their présence because it wasnt overused for the sake of difficulty ( but fuck this one slayer gate in tag tho with way too many and that master level with 2 that you cant reach it was hell in nightmare )

Doom is literally for us that want to see cool shit without other bullshit

Yeah i think i spent 30mn on this one, can we agree the coin room is worse ? I legit spend also 3h on this one. Made me better at the game tho

Yeah hes goated for that, he get that we want the same cool things than him

Master levels were the greatest addition in this game

Do you think they Will be there in tda ?

[plain iron]

Ehh, it might be too big for individual master levels

[zealous crag]

Yeah Thats why I doubt it

[frail bloom]

Some of the levels are traditionally linear tho

iirc the first two

No like eternal, the siege level is one of the more open levels

[zealous crag]

I dont like the open level we saw ngl
Im not one of the « its not real doom people » but I really love the very Well crafted arena in Eternal and these very wide flat are kinda boring in my eyes - gameplay looks great tho

[frail bloom]

Don't knock it till you try it, plus if imma pay 100+ bucks I want to spend ample time on the game

[zealous crag]

I agree with both of you 🙏

I also preordered

Never did for any other franchise

[frail bloom]

Me neither, not even eternal

[zealous crag]

Depends if you want to play with keyboard ( imo wayyy better for doom)

[frail bloom]

Woke in what way?

[plain iron]

Yes.

[frail bloom]

Mhm

[zealous crag]

Bro were talking about doom

No woke bullshit its just destroying demons

[plain iron]

?????

[frail bloom]

I'm confused

[plain iron]

You guys know that Hugo Martin, id software and John Romero are all super supportive of queer folk yeah

Ew a nazicunt.

[zealous crag]

No way you Said that

[frail bloom]

I think he's kidding(hopefully😭 )

[plain iron]

Romero does

[zealous crag]

Doesnt mean he want to make it popular via his games, just that he doesnt disrespect it

[frail bloom]

How do you not know the father of fps

[zealous crag]

John Romero one of the guy that created doom in the first place

Wow it's almost as if all games are fucking political you dumb cunts.

[river fern]

[frail bloom]

Alr he's gone

[plain iron]

Yes you do. That's agreeing with neo-Nazis shit.

[frail bloom]

Did he just join

[zealous crag]

Being a neonazi is way more than not wanting lbgt things in game- fuck this guys ngl

[zealous crag]

One Guy Said he was nazi

[cobalt fog]

How?

Why?

[river fern]

You saved yourself from the bigger pain

[zealous crag]

And another Guy that Said he was also against lgbt stuff in game got banned

[cobalt fog]

Romero?

[zealous crag]

Idk it was rzndom af

[hot lava]

As the saying goes if you’re at a table and there’s 5 of you there and the other 4 are Nazis. There’s 5 nazis at the table.

Need to purge purge purge

[cobalt fog]

…

https://tenor.com/view/sw-starwars-anakin-skywalker-what-gif-4830457

[river fern]

I think the saying went like this:

If one Nazi sits a table of 10 people and no one objects, there are 11 nazis

[plain iron]

Public execution

[cobalt fog]

Why tf did anyone being a nazi come up

Let alone where’s the proof

[zealous crag]

The Guy was explaining that he was agaisnt woke stuff in game wich is ok but then Said he is neonazi that What happened

Not very interesting Tbh

[cobalt fog]

Where tf is his proof

[river fern]

Yea but then the enlightened anti-woke centrists ran to his defense

[zealous crag]

Deleted by mods

[cobalt fog]

Didn’t he work on wolfenstein as well lmao

[pine terrace]

Back on topic people, the team here has made a point where we stand on the issue

[cobalt fog]

[river fern]

Nowhere because he's banned now :^)

[zealous crag]

Are you talking about Romero ? Youre confused

[cobalt fog]

Ye

[pine terrace]

Romero worked on Wolf 3D

[zealous crag]

Romero is not nazi dont worry

[cobalt fog]

Ik

[river fern]

Romero isn't the object of this conversation though, he's as anti-nazi as the rest of the server is

[pine terrace]

Now I don't like repeating myself. Last I checked this channel is about a new Doom game coming out next month

[rough heart]

Yo

[river fern]

RIP AND TEAR

[cobalt fog]

I just wanted to understand what happened is all

[torpid lynx]

I like ur pfp

[river fern]

Nothing important, some bigots jumped in and they got banned

[rough heart]

UNTIL IT IS DONE

[river fern]

That's all it boils down to

[zealous crag]

Like I Said its not interesting move on to slaying

[rough heart]

Whispers end

[plain iron]

[rough heart]

Thx

[plain iron]

That is fucking trump

[zealous crag]

Lets not be political we know how it ends no

[cobalt fog]

That’s too many big words for my autistic brain to handle

[torpid lynx]

the slayer has been mewing

[cobalt fog]

wtf

[frail bloom]

I'm assuming that guy just joined and thought he could make a big entrance or smt

[river fern]

Mewing isn't even real btw

[zealous crag]

Dog better anyway

+dogs are in eternal

The sentinel ones

[cobalt fog]

I work with them every day and I honestly can’t give a solid answer/confirmation

[plain iron]

Bunnies are better.

[cobalt fog]

Cuz some dogs are dicks

[zealous crag]

I had both and I really prefered my dog wich I still have

[cobalt fog]

Cats are moody

[zealous crag]

Like humans , cats etc

[cobalt fog]

Dogs bond well but if they aren’t bonded well…

They crazy

[zealous crag]

[cobalt fog]

Especially those damn pit bulls

Good lord

[river fern]

King Novik can't hold his booze tho

[cobalt fog]

Bottle broke?

[river fern]

Last time I drank with him bro got fucking drunk after 3 pints

[frail bloom]

Yo we gonna see him in tda

[plain iron]

The best animal is clearly a pigeon

[frail bloom]

I've only heard his voice

[cobalt fog]

Spoiler alert Batman is in the dark ages

[frail bloom]

Haven't even seen his model

[plain iron]

We've seen him, in exultia.

[grim cloud]

[zealous crag]

We saw him in a mec !

[torpid lynx]

I can't be doing that anyways cause its forbidden to drink in my religion

[zealous crag]

King novik is top alpha Sigma

[cobalt fog]

You know what surprises me

[zealous crag]

Cant believe i typed that but novik deserved it

[cobalt fog]

We haven’t really got like a grim reaper style demon or ghost demon

The closest thing we got was the spirits

[frail bloom]

The revenant

In this game

[cobalt fog]

That’s a skeleton…. With rockets

[zealous crag]

Look against first trailer of tda then

You said grim reaper esque

He literally has a cloak and sickle

[cobalt fog]

Ya like ghostly dude with scythe

Or sickle

[grim cloud]

in just two days ill be starting 2016 doom playthrough for my one level a day till tda

[frail bloom]

He has a spirit form tho

[cobalt fog]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-eternal-revenant-thrust-hip-gif-23104949

[grim cloud]

need the Icon of Sin background

podium

[zealous crag]

Wait actually a good idea, how about we both try to speedrun it and send our times

[grim cloud]

well ill be taking my time with the game, reading all codex and information. It iwll be a slow run, esp with 1 level, minus the days i miss because work or whatever

[zealous crag]

I played it very recently and yeah the lore is great I get it take your Time and enjoy

[grim cloud]

so im accounting for that, and prob will combine some levels Immora/DarkLord

Then finally Horde Mode on the eve before release

[frail bloom]

Titans realm is gonna stun you when you play it again

[zealous crag]

Im gonna sleep now have a nice evening/night

[frail bloom]

Good night

[torpid lynx]

nighty night

[grim cloud]

ill probalby play Sentinal Prime and Taras Nabad in the same day too

[torpid lynx]

thats in eternal

[grim cloud]

After 2016, ill be playing one level a day for Eternal and TAG

[torpid lynx]

ok

[frail bloom]

Someone count all the base enemies without the variants of both 2016 and eternal

Zemini said tda has a base of 14 so far

[grim cloud]

i put it in Screenshots for reference, subject to change, in fact it already has

becvause im doing hordemode on the final day

[frail bloom]

Wait was it a base of 14 levels or demons

Cuz I see only levels here, not demons

[grim cloud]

that is my countdown, my demon count is a differnt thing

[frail bloom]

Oh from here till the game, i getcha

[grim cloud]

Zombie: Seems to be a cut and paste from the Doom Eternal Hell zombie.
Hell Minions: Standard, Energy Shield, Metal Shield, Archer (only found as a pinky rider)
Imp: Standard, Stone
Stalker: Standard, Nightmare
Pinky & Rider: Pink, Blue and White variants. Can be armored
Mancubus: Armored and gold armored variants. May come in various skin colors
Winged Tyrant
Mindreaver (Arachnotron)
Vagary: Standard and Immoran armored variants
Eldritch Cacodemon
Komodo
Hell Knight: Standard, Battle Knight
Aggadon Hunter
Revenant

[frail bloom]

How much is that compared to eternal

[grim cloud]

Some say there is a lost soul two, but ill include that when we get a nice shot of it

more than 2016, but def more if you count variants

[frail bloom]

Like for example would you count the dread knight as a seperate demon

[grim cloud]

That is the thing, the Battle Knight should be seperate too, because ti behaves differently. I dont know where to draw the line

[frail bloom]

I'd seperate them if they function differently

Hold on imma check the codexes and come back

[grim cloud]

The Manc and Armored Manc is the same, but the Leader Manc is different maybe. I just dont know until we paly the game

Cyber Manc and Manc are very different however.

[frail bloom]

Alright I count 25 including the spectre

Hoepfully if we saw 14 base demons in the 5th level, it means that there are much more in the later levels

(Not all 14 just 14 confirmed*)

**and seen

[grim cloud]

the more monsters to kill, the better, every time

my megawad has over 60 monsters in it

[frail bloom]

Yeah I would be dissapointed if they had all this budget and spent it on variants if that makes sense

[frail bloom]

Do you use gzdoom to code those in or mbf21

[grim cloud]

made with doombuilder and slade

[frail bloom]

How do you import new demon slots tho

Cuz that stuff is hard

[grim cloud]

it is called Slade, lets you add everything.

You could have all hexen, doom, heretic, ect in one game if you wanted

and in case you wonder, Cyberdemon kills them all

[frail bloom]

Ye I was going to make a legacy of rust sequel a few months back but doing it by myself is taxing

[grim cloud]

he is champion, barons pretty tough too

[frail bloom]

Lemme show you a lost soul redesign I made a couple months back

[frail bloom]

#artwork message

I also have some more pics

Honestly it would be cool to see my design in there somewhere

I even got clay to make other models

[grim cloud]

creepy

[frail bloom]

Yeah very doom 3

[frail bloom]

Once the timer runs out I'll show you some other stuff

[grim cloud]

ive done just a little sprite editing, mostly franken sprites, but ill show you the mindflayer i made a while back

[terse parcel]

Hey guys. Forgive me for my ignorance lol. This stuff is foreign to me. Not sure if it was clarified somewhere else. But people who got the collectors edition of this game, are they allowed to stream it before the official release date for everyone on the 15th?

[frail bloom]

Yea it's on the 13th

At least for me, if you bought collecters or premium

[terse parcel]

I got the collectors edition

So I should be okay then? I don’t wanna jeopardize my twitch channel ha

[frail bloom]

Yeah I'm pretty sure although what would jeopardize your twitch channel?

[grim cloud]

upper right corner, he is just a really hard bishop. On artwork

[frail bloom]

It's so well made😭 🙏

[grim cloud]

well its a frankensprite, i just cut and pasted from various other zdoom monsters. Cant take allt he credit

[frail bloom]

At least you can do that

[terse parcel]

Playing the game before the official launch date for everyone on the 15th. I wasn’t sure if that counted as distributing unauthorized content before any sort of embargo lift

Sorry I’m not good with stuff like this ha

[frail bloom]

No you should be fine, in fact a bunch of youtubers are doing it to obviously milk the game lol

Shoot your shot👍

[terse parcel]

Alright ha. Thanks.

This is my first time buying a game with early access.

[frail bloom]

Same, and probably the last time too

[frail bloom]

#artwork message

[grim cloud]

i see your doing it the old classic way

[frail bloom]

Yup, but it was too ambitious

I could've at least made the model but my coding skills are ass so it was fruitless in the end

May someone carry on my vision

[grim cloud]

well you just use a monster that acts similar to what it will be and go from there

[frail bloom]

Bro one of my planned monsters would ressurect archviles

The other pretends to be soldiers

[grim cloud]

There is Decorate, but that is outdated, now they use Zscript

[frail bloom]

I posted what would be the full roster in artwork

[grim cloud]

easy enough, just use that data, im sure osmoene in classic maps mods can give you pointers

[autumn dawn]

what happened here last night?

[frail bloom]

Wdym?

[autumn dawn]

there was some madness going on about nazis or smth

[frail bloom]

Yeah some edgy people but they were kicked out

Back to normal now

[autumn dawn]

of the server, right?

[frail bloom]

Probably, I've never seen them

[autumn dawn]

ah k

[hollow sandal]

Cool list

Is the Balgar the same as the winged Tyrant?

[frail bloom]

Nope

[hollow sandal]

Ok so what is it?

[frail bloom]

It's like a mini demon lord

The balgaar was called the cybie in 2016 cuz of its cyber enhancements but it's from a balgaar race

[hollow sandal]

Ohh OK gotcha, I don't think I've seen it in dark ages

Sorry if I sounded like a dick, that wasn't my intention 😭

[frail bloom]

No you're good

[frail bloom]

Yeah we haven't seen it but I WANT IT 🔥

Arachnotrons are now called Mindreavers?

[solemn wyvern]

Legacy of rust?

Can we haz the Vassago back?

[rough heart]

Didnt know its already 4 weeks till release

[rough heart]

Unchained predator"

[frail bloom]

They look like mindweavers but they're probably arachnotrons

[autumn dawn]

dunno, i never played LoR

[frail bloom]

You should

One of the best classic doom experiences

[autumn dawn]

i don't have $5

[frail bloom]

Do you have doom 1 and 2

[autumn dawn]

or atleast, my parents won't allow me to spend $5 on doom

[frail bloom]

Do you own doom 1 and doom 2

[autumn dawn]

i have the wads, a friend gave them to me

[frail bloom]

Do you own them?

Like is it on your library of games

@autumn dawn

[autumn dawn]

winrar, yeah

not on steam tho

i think it's really risky here

[frail bloom]

Check to see if doom 1+ 2 is free

[frail bloom]

Since you can get it for free if you own doom 1 and 2

[autumn dawn]

uhh ok ill check later

[grim cloud]

well a arachnotron with a minigun is called a mindreaver in legacy of rust. It might be the same case here to differetiant them. These guys also seem to be more organic

therefore it doesnt make sense to have the "tron" in the name.

[formal root]

Hellspider

[grim cloud]

arachnofiend

[weary current]

i have a feeling there's a lot more enemies than this, calling it right now

[grim cloud]

i would hope so, only seen the first act of the game

[spare panther]

i bet theres gonna be a lot more too with the purple otherworldly stuff

[weary current]

yeah, i am praying for some quake-like enemies here

but on an unrelated note... i'mma need that 2016 slayer skin to be in TDA please

[grim cloud]

i want to know if the TDA slayer has air control. I need to know that so i can decide to get that rune in my final playthrough before tda

i dont notice much jumping in the first place

[barren iron]

I'd doubt it, it'd kind of go against the philosphy of the game, the whole "stand and fight"

[grim cloud]

im figuring the same

[plain iron]

Yeah no we have a tiny jump, we are seemingly very heavy

[barren iron]

Slayer lost some LBs between TDA and Doom 1993 lmao

[plain iron]

Deadass tho he probably did

Plus the armour

[grim cloud]

og doom guy went nearly 60mph, that would be fun

there’s some metal choir present from what i’ve heard, more like gang vocals style

[grim cloud]

i wonder what fov you can use. I think max is 120 for the first two games

[elder pelican]

WHY TF THIS SHI 70$

[plain iron]

Capitalism

[plucky plinth]

Welcome to modern day AAA!

[elder pelican]

yeah

I WANT IF FOR 40$ LIKE ETERNAL AHHHHH

[plucky plinth]

then wait

[elder pelican]

IM STEVING IT AUGHHH IM STEVING AUGHHH

[plucky plinth]

Eternal's price went down dramatically pretty quickly

[plain iron]

[elder pelican]

yeah it was like 70 and then the next day it was like 10

On fonum

Who likes doom 3 bro

[plain iron]

Me

[elder pelican]

GET OUT

[plain iron]

No lmfao

[elder pelican]

It isn't even apart of the doom lore too

[plain iron]

I fucking hate eternal

It is lmao 💀

Just not the main story

[elder pelican]

no it aint

I know my doom mk

[plain iron]

... yes it is.

[elder pelican]

I've been playing it for like 18 years now

[plain iron]

It's apart of the lore. Just not the main lore.

[plain iron]

Okay and

[elder pelican]

It's apart of a alt universe blud

[plain iron]

Yeah so it's apart of the lore

Regardless, that doesn't matter. I fucking love doom 3

[elder pelican]

I'm gonna nut on you now, 🥜

That was a joke

I don't condone nutting on ppls irl

[plain iron]

.. I am a minor. Please do not be sexual towards me.

[elder pelican]

Me too bro

And now I hear Hatsune miku out of my window for no god damn reason

Imma yell at her

Mk I dis

[uneven dragon]

doom 3 is goated

[elder pelican]

Doom 3 is bad

But, it is a big game tho

Very big game

[plucky plinth]

a very big amount of people, actually

hell, it sold a ton

and had a very good reception on launch

[elder pelican]

Ik but I got It for free not lying 🤑

[uneven dragon]

most sold game till eternal i believe

[plucky plinth]

If you count Doom 1 shareware, probably not

[elder pelican]

And then dark ages with the 70$, fuck you inflation

[uneven dragon]

just my personal opinion but i feel like it only gets this much hate from people who joined the series from doom 2016 onwards and are confused when a doom game isnt muh rip and tear

[plucky plinth]

well, I'm not knowledged on sale specifics, so you might be right

[elder pelican]

I ain't rich but this is rich🤑🤑🤑🤑

[uneven dragon]

doom 3 is a fairly accurate to the series game if you only know doom 1, 2 and 64

but that's my controversial opinion

[plucky plinth]

I agree with ya

[elder pelican]

I know all of them except dark ages

Can't afford 70$

[uneven dragon]

the cacodemon in TDA looks so cool it's like a blend of 3 and 64

[elder pelican]

Wow, so cool

[plucky plinth]

I like the design, love it maybe.
Still pissed off they removed my clueless meatball, though.

[elder pelican]

Aw man

I put to many emojis

I hat cacos in 2016 bro

Annoying mfs bro

[uneven dragon]

oh wait isn't the ||Vagary|| from Doom 3 in this game too

that's so hype ngl i've been waiting for a doom 3 enemy other than "unarmed zombies" to make it into another game lmfao

[silent surge]

spider lookin’ thing yea

[hard thistle]

She was such a gross pain for me personally. But, relatively easy to kill.

As for the Cacos, they look gnarly as can be, and perfectly killable!

[grim cloud]

doom 64 pain elemental. can we bet a good chance of that one coming?

[uneven dragon]

i hope so but i feel we wouldve seen it by now

[elder pelican]

"You're not my mother, my mother doesn't have, b-b-b-b- BAGINA"

I was typing in bagina, but on my thing it actually said the thing

Why am I like this?

[zealous crag]

They are way more of a legit threat while in eternal its just an easy glory kill or you destroy them with a Quick switch from a distance/ ballista mod one shot

[summer obsidian]

Just saw on twitter that Xbox announced their yearly games showcase and it felt like I got shot after realizing that dark ages was announced almost a whole year ago

[tender nacelle]

am i the only one that thinks selling the helmet separately from the collector's edition is pretty stupid ?

[sleek ermine]

yes

the collectors edition is not worthy of such a good thing

[rustic stirrup]

Lower the price from 80$!

[sleek ermine]

no

[rustic stirrup]

Yes

[sleek ermine]

DOOM 2016 was 20$, Eternal was double that price.
It’s only fair that TDA has double Eternal’s price

[tender nacelle]

man i pre ordered collectors edition and now i wnat the helmet too but i aint got no money

[plain iron]

I got both

[sleek ermine]

how rich are you

[tender nacelle]

deadass

[sleek ermine]

I mean tbf I have enough for both

[plain iron]

I'm not I just starved for a week

[sleek ermine]

😭

[plain iron]

• I live in a carehome

[tender nacelle]

damn im broke 😭

[rustic stirrup]

So the follow up game to TDA should cost 160$?

[plain iron]

The premium edition for me is that

[tender nacelle]

do you need both kidneys ? i could sell one for the helmet

[plain iron]

You need at least one kidney

[sleek ermine]

there probably won’t be a follow up, since they built this up as the prequel and as far as we know Eternal is the end of the Slayer’s story.

[tender nacelle]

aight bet that's all i needed

[dreamy kiln]

Unless he's awaken sometime in the future

[small bobcat]

i'm not paying 120 dollars for the dark age

[plain iron]

Okay then don't get the game

[fleet spruce]

they gave some hints on what to expect from post-eternal game, lovecraftian bullshit

[plain iron]

Samur? Dawg

[dreamy kiln]

Nice

[earnest swift]

It’s $70 though?

[plain iron]

O8RGRGGG WE GOT MORE AHZRAK SHIT

THE ART OF SLAYING ARGGG

He's apparently young :D and I think Hugo uses he/him for ahzrak at the start but then uses they/them at the end

Gonna piss of the chuds with that one

[formal root]

so horns represent age in demons

huh

[plain iron]

That's a pretty normal idea 😭 horns often show age anyways

Hugo did compare them to a deer which I have to correct him on.

[formal root]

no no, I mean thats a cool thing

[formal root]

its more like a calf’s horns

[plain iron]

Deer shed their antlers so guessing age from the antlers isn't really a accurate way to guess. Goats and sheep are a more accurate comparison

[safe ice]

oh official doom account please put more videos from twitter on your bsky please official doom account

[formal root]

HUGO MARTIN, SHOW US MORE DEMON DESIGNS AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[safe ice]

we have over 1 minute long videos now please I miss out on like half of the cool shit because I dont want to enter the fifth layer of hell (twitter)

[autumn dawn]

why was he stuttering like he was repeatedly bringing up keyword 'appeal', the triangular shape, ta.... whatever he compared azhrak to

[plain iron]

I think Hugo just has a mild stutter lmao

[autumn dawn]

it's like he's never reviewed art in front of a camera before (he's most definitely did, see The Art of DOOM Eternal)

[fleet spruce]

maybe he's just excited

[delicate sequoia]

Do we know if the archvile is not in the game?

[autumn dawn]

nope, 0 evidence

[fleet spruce]

we will find out in may though

[feral bane]

Not the first to notice this but he looks a lot like a Pau’an from Star Wars

Love the look though. Looks like proper royalty.

[plain iron]

He also looks like something from rupaul's drag race

[feral bane]

He’d absolutely win it too

[plain iron]

Oh absolutely.

I wonder what his leg armour is like. I hope it's like mettaton from undertale

[autumn dawn]

𝙰𝚁𝙼𝚂? 𝚆𝙷𝙾 𝙽𝙴𝙴𝙳𝚂 𝙰𝚁𝙼𝚂 𝚆𝙷𝙴𝙽 𝚈𝙾𝚄 𝙷𝙰𝚅𝙴 𝙻𝙴𝙶𝚂 𝙻𝙸𝙺𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙴𝚂𝙴?

[gilded lake]

do u have the art of slaying's second vid somewhere

[neon perch]

Twink demon prince.

[plain iron]

The skull crusher one?

[gilded lake]

yeag

[plain iron]

Ehh twink implies he's feminine, he's just thin

[fresh bear]

Hugo saying "them" maybe means that we will get to meet other priests like asscrack but it seems unlikely

[plain iron]

Ahzrak isn't a priest, he's a prince.

[fresh bear]

Oh ok mb

Yeah, his clothes show his rank on the concept art

[plain iron]

Ahzrak is a he/they to me smh 😔

[fresh bear]

Maybe he is or maybe we will meet other Hell princes, we can't know for sure yet

[plain iron]

Hrr I wonder what animal he's gonna be associated with. I hope it's a bat of something

[fresh bear]

He has the Dracula vibe with his fit

[plain iron]

Definitely

I don't have much knowledge surrounding bats, but he's definitely one.

[fresh bear]

Just imagine his entrance during his boss fight, him dropping down from the ceilling, that could be cool

[plain iron]

OURHHG

He looks like he'd be super slow and graceful but like. When fighting fucker is f a s t

Or, feels fast at least.

I hope his horns grow as we go through the game.

[fresh bear]

I see

[autumn dawn]

i have a mental image:

doomguy enters ahzrak's castle, and since he's doomguy, his footsteps echo throughout the entire place

ahzrak has limited vision like a bat, but he has excellent hearing

[plain iron]

ORRRRHGH YES.

[autumn dawn]

so as you traverse the castle, you can occassionally hear his voice lines

[plain iron]

If I don't hear bat chirps ima throw someone

[autumn dawn]

like "why have you intruded my sanctuary" or "you cannot save your world, it is best to give up"

something like that

[plain iron]

He'd say that line we've heard him say

The "all the power of hell, cowering at one man." or smthn

[autumn dawn]

ah, so he's that typa guy

to hype up the slayer right before the big fight against him

[plain iron]

Lowkey kinda gay ngl/j

[graceful lion]

i dont know how prince asscrack thinks its a good idea for a first impression if doomguy sees you butt naked

because when we saw davoth, he was butt naked too iirc

but i guess thats not that weird because thats just doomguy's body

[plain iron]

Doomguy is sitting here looking at davoth like

"Fucker not again."

[graceful lion]

doomguy : im gonna kill you
prince asscrack and davoth : show up butt naked in the first meeting

[autumn dawn]

nah, he was wearing pants

[graceful lion]

u sure?

why didnt they show us his lower half

[autumn dawn]

iiiii think he was

[autumn dawn]

that was just a camera quirk, opening of TAG P2 showed him full view with pants

i don't think he's the type of guy to be like:

"behold, the Dark Lord of Hell before your e- hold on one sec snaps, magically grows pants from his flesh ah, much better."

[fresh bear]

Davoth didn't care, he was just like "You have seen your own butt before, Slayer, you will not mind seeing mine"

[plain iron]

I mean if I could I would do that myself, I ain't letting my clone see that shit

[autumn dawn]

he'd wear his pants before he fully materialized

[plain iron]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1278629590797123602/1360205769194209451/20250411_205015.jpg?ex=67fa45d6&is=67f8f456&hm=a373a1388be84644acd4d36c9d1697ddb3b7528b250af661a24568df9b7a9bac&

Also. RAHHHH RAHHH RHAHH RAHHH (going feral)

He's genuinely so cool looking

[autumn dawn]

his eyes are all Decepticon-y

[plain iron]

Jesus christ you're right

[fresh bear]

I'm waiting to rip his head in half

[autumn dawn]

also i like the scars on his eyes, gives me Anakin Skywalker vibes

[plain iron]

:[

[fresh bear]

The Sith eyes

[plain iron]

Also, idk where this one comes from, seems legit enough.
But. Look at the tether/chest button. It's bleeding into the armour.

[fresh bear]

Overdrive power up ?

[plain iron]

Nah, that's clearly a cutscene

It's a maykr device.

[autumn dawn]

mental image: doomguy shoots him in the head, misses vital part of brain, so he still lives

doomguy grabs both horns and pulls them away from each other, and because there'a a cut in his head, it's ripped in half

[plain iron]

@hard thistle what's your opinion on this? The chest thing's energy going into the chestplate armour? How exactly is that thing connected to the slayer? Clearly it has some form of connection, or they wouldn't be able to control him, right?

[fresh bear]

It's maybe a control device, as it was said that DOOM guy is under control during TDA

[sleek ermine]

What if Hell princesses exist?

[sleek ermine]

sorry just felt like it

[plain iron]

Oh I think it was confirmed, maybe by hoard i think

The kreed maykr are supplying them iirc

[sleek ermine]

KHAN CHONKYR

[autumn dawn]

are all Khan Maykrs female?

[plain iron]

THE KREED CHONKYR

[fresh bear]

I fear some parts of the community if we get more than one female character in TDA 💀

[sleek ermine]

probably not

[sleek ermine]

yeah…

[plain iron]

Nup, the past khan seen in urdak is seemingly male.

[sleek ermine]

MAYKR CHONKYR

[fresh bear]

Ok

[autumn dawn]

did we see any gender identifying features, such as breasts?

ooon the Maykr

[plain iron]

Ive already seen debauchery from doom. Enough please I don't wanna be spooked with boobs when looking for references

[sleek ermine]

hrmmmmmmmm

[feral bane]

[plain iron]

Nup, looked like a big Samur model

[sleek ermine]

big dead samur model

[autumn dawn]

𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝘂𝘀

[fresh bear]

That's real

[plain iron]

[autumn dawn]

i struggled looking for a reference (i needed one where samus was just standing still, facing front) but she kept posing like a pin up model

[sleek ermine]

[fresh bear]

People are special, not in a good way

[plain iron]

I've done art studies on that kinda art but only for anatomy and rendering 😭

[sleek ermine]

I would (if I could) take down as many NSFW arts and art posters as possible (I’ll do it the Slayer way of DEATH)

[plain iron]

Hey no that shit does need to exist, sadly.

[sleek ermine]

:(

I will take them down anyway :D

[autumn dawn]

don't get me wrong, the art is really good, but they're just not what i needed

[gilded lake]

comes from tda's press event in japan

[plain iron]

Ah makes sense

[autumn dawn]

Japan always gets the first look at upcoming stuff

[graceful lion]

he looks punchable
