Just finished Ancient Aliens. What a ride! I'm kind of stunned they were that into the shitpost concept that they carried it for 30 levels, and they're really really high-quality levels, too! Also, the slaughter fights weren't nearly as hard as they looked (or I'm getting better, but probably the first thing). I did use Intelligent Supplies for the third episode. I've got it set to only health and ammo affected, not armour or powerups. (I sort of think soul spheres ought to qualify as powerups for that, but anyway). Just much more pleasant, not having to count ammo and remember where pickups are. Although, as with the other work of Skillsaw & co that I've played, ammo is never really a problem anyway. https://www.doomworld.com/23years/best1.php Highly recommended! Though probably bump the difficulty down unless you've been keeping up with custom Doom levels (lol, he says, it's a decade-old wad). Well, I think Scythe 2 next, I never did finish it. I think by now I probably have the necessary skills to get past the bits I was stuck on. And that's jumping back another 11 years, to 2005! #DooM

    Oh shit, there's another Skillsaw megawad? I just noticed "Lunatic", from re-reading that Cacowards writeup for Ancient Aliens. He's rapidly become my "favourite mapper that I know the name of", (which isn't a very crowded field, but still). https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/j-l/lunatic I'd better hurry up and blaze through Scythe 2, then! :D e: aw, it's only 5 levels. Well, still. #DooM
