Dear Uncle decino, I discovered your channel when you were progressing through Map 24 of Sunlust and instantly enjoyed your humor and style. I went back and started to watch from Map 1, during which you said "The only way you get better at Doom is to raise the ceiling, your skill ceiling that is." From when I was playing DooM shareware in 1993 with my dad until seeing that video, it was mostly about nostalgia for me and I would play through about half of E1 on HMP and die/give up (didn't even strafe), then blow some things up with cheats. But after that video and watching your Sunlust playthrough I've proudly beaten every map in Doom 1 including Sigil maps, UVMax pistol start/no saves, without watching any playthroughs in advance, aside from looking up a handful of tricky secrets. DooM is more fun than ever. So thank you and keep killing it with your content! (Literally) Now onto Doom II UVMax for me 😨

9:15 Because of an odd issue that the original doom subtracts one tic from the first frame of muzzle flash state, the faulty muzzle flash frame only appears for one tic, not 2 tics. Of course, the easiest dehacked fix is just changing the duration of the first muzzle flash frame from 5 to 4.

[@audiosurfarchive]

Hey: _DOOM³ SHAWT-GUN_

[@MrSchnorkel]

I never knew there was a certain order for weapon auto switches after running out of ammo, it shows the developers' understanding of weapon balance. Since the game can't know what kind of combat situation the player is in, it has to make a blanket decision which weapon would be the most useful one in any situation. The chainsaw ranks low in viability, but is worth more than the rocket launchers self-damage which can kill the player in one unlucky hit. Possible self-damage is apparently still preferable to wasting a BFG shot. But the fist is (normally) so inefficient that the player will most probably die while using it, and wasting BFG ammo is still better than that. Also, the Combat Analysis section of the video is a great explanation for what makes FPS games great. And for why many people start each level with only the pistol. Having fewer weapons along with less ammo means those combat decisions are harder, and as a result the challenge is greater. All while each level is designed to be completable even without weapons form earlier levels.

Also, obligatory Ancient Aliens when, debino?

[@hoodedman6579]

Many source ports also change that behavior, and I don't think it ever applied in any console port either, so that combined with how useless the default fist was probably means that many, many people didn't notice it.

[@Erik-bt3om]

I've never seen any incompatibly between the sprite fixing project and any custom dehacked work like in valiant or eviternity. PrBoom and GZDoom have spaces in their config files for loading both the wad and deh file before any custom pwad. Load order will always be the ports own wad file and an iwad first, followed by patches listed in config, followed by a custom pwad. Last item loaded will override the previous item.

It tickles me how the chaingun is literally just a gun version of the chainsaw statwise. No wonder they both have chain in the name

Thank you for always making such great videos Decino. Always a great day whenever your name, Karl Jobst or Zero Masters name pops up on my feed!

Vladimir J Erkov waits for the day when Decino accidentally combines his middle initial and last name.

[@mapron1]

Protip for "Владимир Жерков" is to write his last name as "zherkov" , so pronunciation "[z]" instead of "[dz]" may help a bit in these awkward moments.

Spooky, man. You really spooked me with that rocket bit. I’m thoroughly spooked.

OK, so for pellets, you count 5 dmg as a minimum, that would mean: Shotgun lowest dmg: 35 SSG lowest dmg: 100 (This statement is incorrect)

[@kgorob]

The same quirk of RNG table applies to lower end. It wouldn't be possible to get 35 or 100 just as it's not possible to get 105 or 300. Actual minimal damage is 45 and 170 respectively.

[@kgorob]

Also, you could say the worst shot is when only 1 pellet hits and then 5 is correct.

[@btf_flotsam478]

@@kgorob The information for the minimum damage with all shots hitting is partially useful, as it would represent a point-blank shot (which would happen when killing an enemy at close range).

[@kgorob]

@@btf_flotsam478 I agree. I would argue it's MORE useful, because it sets the base expectations. Roll the dices, get 170-245, now don't miss lmao. And not for point blank shots only - damage can be distributed among the group of monsters. You can kinda estimate now many shots are needed to kill group of 10 imps or so.

@@JaimeG88 Good for you, I didn't think about that! The maximum damage's impossible condition confused me

[@alfred012345]

When I was a kid, this game amazed me due to its unique mechanics. Now you've done an excellent job by explaining how stuff works. Thanks a lot.

If the shotgun is the workhorse of Doom, the super shotgun is the Christian Okoye of Doom.

lmao a sorta obscure Chiefs running back from the 90s worked its way into the comment section for a classic doom analysis video

One of my favorite analysis videos yet. I loved hearing you say "Spooooky."
