I saw voxel Doom when they released the video and thought "It still looks like shit, but in 3D." That or Minecrap.

I guess it's a tough sell if you didn't like the original game. But, as you can see in the video, making 3d models for Doom that aren't a disaster isn't easy. Even the official sequels "re-imagined" them into generic aliens that just happen to look exactly like what every 3d artist with z-brush poops out.

Ideally I'd want something that looks like this only 3d. Easier said than done!

I'm still wondering why so many people have to look backwards instead of creating the most realistic MODERN version. Doom Eternal is what I'm thinking. Reimagine it in there!

Nostalgia. That's why we're still playing Doom remakes 30 years later.

And don't re-imagine it. Make it look like what the original would have done if it weren't restricted by hardware limitations.

I think Doom Eternal's artwork is much nicer than Doom 3 BTW. Doom 3 was cool technology but I hated what they did to the Doom monsters. Doom Eternal is much more faithful to the original even if it's not exactly what I'd want.

One of my old favorites was Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2. It was controversial because of the 200 different points on the body that can be separately damaged or blown off. Gory yes, but it was remarkable work. No chance anyone could sell a title like that ever again.

R.I.P. Loretta Lynn. I sure didn't like her music, but I sure loved what she did for amateur motocross!

Was sad to hear about Loretta. Not to fear though, that amateur event turns that cow pasture into a money pit so I have no doubts her estate will keep the race.

My thoughts on the WSX, putting it in a spoiler for those who hasn't had the ability to see it yet!

Huge shoutout to Burkeen for winning Muddy Creek’s Cody Gragg memorial 2 stroke race this weekend!

They just did a video on using gravitational lensing to create undistorted images on PBS Spacetime.

So, we gotta talk about Ross Chastain's wall ride to totally yeet himself into the NASCAR Final 4! One time deal I hope we never get to see allowed again. It's bad enough that zoomers treat the roads like GTA. Some of the high speed highway crashes lately seem suicidal. I guess old people said the same shit about my youthful exuberance.

Here's a video. I could have swore I heard about someone in NASCAR trying that a long time ago and even had wheels under the bodywork that would smooth it out after the sheet metal wore away. I can't find anything about it though so maybe it was just a tall tale. I think it was in the Richard Petty era.

The reaction to this is hilarious! It's as if they'd seen Jesus hisself doin' the drivin'! It is remarkable how it looks like it was on fast forward through the turn. I definitely Give the laziest guy the hardest job and he'll figure out the easiest way to do it.

That was epic, move of the decade in motorsport probably.
