Following the "don't even screenshot Twitter posts, just steal them" mantra, bringing this one over here:

The Cacowards really said "I don't care if this specific wad is good, it was made by the worst bigots of the Doom community so we're not gonna mention it anywhere" and you know what?

Good. - @DacDoom

Hey, would you look at that, the Cacowards 2023 are now live! This is the first time I catch them right as they are released, so I'm looking forward to checking them out and seeing all the amazing content that came out this year.

This is Doom's legacy:

"Unlike our fragile meatspace bodies, as Doom hits its 30th birthday, there's no sense of "acceptance," and it doesn't look like we're slowing down anytime soon. Not a day goes by when someone hasn't released something new to play in Doom. "

2023 Cacowards is here!

My aim is to future my map in Cacowards 20..26! Hahahha

I found a tool that generates images of the maps in Doom 1/2 WADS (wad2image).

So here's some images from a recent Doom map called "Jack Builds A Techbase".

Beautiful huh? The devs left a message in one of them.

Map 2 from a Doom WAD called Jack Builds A Tech Base. It's a densely packed maze of rooms and areas
Map 3 from a Doom WAD called Jack Builds A Tech Base. It's consists of a densely packed central area. Around the edges are what look like large spiky sections from the top-down
Map 31 from a Doom WAD called Jack Builds A Tech Base. There's a large semi-circular area connected to fairly organic looking tunnels. The devs left a message in the map: "Blokmap sucx. And so do cyberdemons. Seriously what as ID thinking giving certain enemies such wide hitboxes when the collision algorithms clearly break at these sizes? I blame Romero"
