My perfect finale would be a powertrip that culminates into an IOS with an interesting puzzle mechanic.

How do you implement difficulty settings?
I put extra supplies for HMP.
Remove some enemies for HNTR without having the extra supplies I added for HMP.
With both of these difficulty settings implemented that way it turns ITYTD into a combination of both HMP and HNTR; it has HNTR's lesser enemies and ITYTD's double ammo and health hard-coded stat, similarly to how extra supplies were added for HMP.If I can think of something creative like disabling teleporting monsters or moving a key around I'll do that too.
If I ever make a mapset, I'll rename the difficulty settings to represent what's been changed.

Most angled HUD weapons aren't bad
There's a bit of a stigma against angled weapons on HUD unless it's something for ZDoom, etc.
The main argument I see is that it makes it impossible to aim quickly unless a crosshair is used, and crosshairs kind of obscure the view.I think most weapons in Doom don't need to be centered because they're not as precise as people make them out to be, and cover a big target, the only weapons that need to be centered are the bullet weapons because they cover a small target, compared to even the shotgun.

RE: Heretic Notes Compilation
If you're using DSDA-Doom to record a demo or test compatibility; it's pointless to specify -complevels because DSDA-Doom will ignore it and use -complevel 0 automatically because Heretic is based on Doom V1.2.

RE: Your Favorite Doom Map Trap?
The triple trap in Monster Condo with the increasingly dangerous hitscanners, a cherry on top would've been a spiderdemon at the end, behind the player, to make it a quad trap.

What makes you want to download a wad?
For me it's if the screenshots have a slick, detailed design with good attention to detail and lighting, especially with almost purely stock textures, I just can't get enough of these textures, they're like old friends I've known for years, and keep coming back for them because they feel me with intense nostalgia that can still surprise you, depending on how they can be used for many new tricks and interpretations, such as the burnt toast in DBP37 MAP02. Bonus points if it's vanilla DOOM2.EXE compatible, these are always impressive feats, feels like these demoscenes back in the 90's that could do some impressive stuff at the time, I personally wasn't really there to experience demoscene, but if I was; I think this is how it would feel like.
If it requires chex.wad or heretic.wad, with Chex I can be guaranteed a quick and easy experience, and with Heretic you can get very creative with the inventory system.
Themes such as city, and interesting ones like in DBPs can also pull me in.I generally don't care for any technical limitations unless I design them.
OTEX is ok, but feels too sterile and clean for me, I much prefer the roughness of the stock textures, as well as for mapping OTEX is just too cluttered and overwhelming when I want to choose a texture.
ZDoom requirements deter me from downloading wads too, because wads that require it usually aren't fun to play, I'm guessing it's trauma from playing KDIZD, ZPACK, Community Is Falling 3, and DTS-T (The Adventures Of Square is awesome though), which are completely unbalanced and/or confusing, and/or plain boring to play, but I don't mind Zandronum however, because it has much more fun exclusive wads/PKs that I've played since Skulltag days were over (I WAS THERE!!), such as Zombie Horde, Deathrun, Complex Doom, Barracks Zone, Jumpmaze, Jumpix and StupidLMS. -

RE: Ten Day Vacation
Thanks for the positive feedback! I really needed some encouragement after getting banned from Doomer Boards, I've been feeling bummed and uninspired for the past three weeks.

Born in Latvia, raised in Israel, I want to move to a more northern country, either back to my homeland or west-southern Canada, when I'm finished with education.
