Cacodemon is actually a semantically correct word for "Demons" as we know them. It comes from greek "κακοδαίμων" (kakodaimon) what means "Evil spirit". "Daimon" is a neutral term for "spirits" in greek, they can have any alignment.

This is the same Doom guy that was sent to Mars to fight demons, died and went to hell, fought through hell and returned to Earth just to have the demons invade earth as well (and kill his pet bunny) so he had to do all of it AGAIN and kill the icon of sin. The man isn't stupid, just a bit displeased with the UAC and the people running it. It would actually be very strange if he believed a single word from Hayden

[@Techhunter_Talon]

You know what's funny? I'm almost certain that 'Pinky' was a community-made name for them because in classic Doom they were just called 'Demons'. So, it's (more than likely) something the community called them and then later adopted even by the developers and made into their official name.

[@blunderingfool]

IIRC the codex remarks that the name came from the scientists being cute and it just stuck. =P

[@niceideasbozo]

More historical than funny

I think the name "Doomguy" also was a community name that was sort of adopted officially, before 2016 came out and officially named him "Doomslayer" instead.

[@incendiary6243]

I just watched another youtuber do a similar run on doom eternal, but his phrasing was 'without shooting a bullet', which let him use the chainsaw, whereas your ruleset of no ammo use allows the pistol but not the chainsaw. I think its pretty cool how two runs with the same general idea behind them can end up so different based on what seems like such a small word choice

[@gryphose1849]

Tbf, Eternal's chainsaw regens a fuel cell automatically so it'd count for no ammo. Of course, only the grunts can be chainsawed with just one fuel cell so....

[@benjaminlee985]

Doom Eternal has the blood punch and flame burst, so that makes it easier to not shoot bullets at all.

You do realize there is a rune trial that gives you infinite ammo as long as you have over 75 shield and health, right?
