Thus I look forward to abovedude giving away his house, car, and other possessions, on principle.... Ha indeed. And abovedude apparently has all of the hardware he could ever need because of his awesome cleverness at getting into the hobby 50 years ago so doesn't need to pay the absurd contemporary …

@ptrie I'm assuming that the 'togglable' setting is not persistent in any way? It didn't seem to be despite saving my game. I wanted to use the hack version that included the frame limiter and the other patches so I've just hex edited this file to have a frame limit setting of 10 by default: …

The Serpent Rider wrote on 2022-04-20, 02:37: Doom lighting model was too simplistic. Which is why a flashlight is included, and it's an awesome addition! If the author can fix a few remaining annoyances then this will be my preferred way to play DOOM going forward.
