FOR DOOMERS! You likely found this site through my doomworld account, [blacklabel].
I got into DOOM when I was around 16-17? I had watched the content surrounding the mapping contests hosted and streamed by Vargskelethor Joel. Made me fall in love with the community driven spirit of the original games, but I didn’t really have a PC to jump onboard and map away. I settled for enjoying the first two titles on the family Xbox. Life changing. Felt like I had ascended to a new class of human upon beating Thy Flesh Consumed. Fuck American McGee. I love American McGee. From there, I devoured DOOM 2016 and eagerly anticipated the newly announced ETERNAL. In 2020, I had saved enough money from my first job to build my own PC (I am currently typing this from said PC). I tried getting into mapping with my friend*. I didn’t finish my map, and he had finished his. I began streaming under another account and channel name, and I had sort of dropped Doom a bit from there. A bit afterwards, I stopped streaming and life kind of moved on from there. Things went in different directions, and I became less and less interested in the community and games as a whole. I’m back. Thankfully. It feels like I had been away from my true love. I hope the community will take me in over time. I will try to keep up with it, make content and mingle with some cool people. Feel free to message me over in doomworld to either let me know you’ve read this or send me maps / pages you think I should take a gander at.

My friend in question has no doomworld account, but he has given me permission to refer to him by his usual username on most games and sites: Komod0
