@socks @trysdyn when that doc was originally written it made a little more sense, as there was no concept of "creating an .apworld file" -- AP couldn't add additional worlds at runtime, to run a custom world at all either you'd be running from someone else's source directory or from a build that someone else compiled with that world in place

but it makes no sense to continue to encourage that behavior now and yet they still do so despite how many problems it causes

@socks @trysdyn yes, this is specified directly in its docs: https://github.com/ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago/blob/main/docs/adding%20games.md#world

of course, "for each new world fork the main AP repository" results in the obvious problem of "you can only make one fork", which people immediately worked around with "just make another branch!"

this completely breaks searching through code, and makes managing releases a nightmare, and yet still here we are

@socks @trysdyn it is not just common, this is the *preferred workflow* that AP tries to push people to use

@exa leap minutes!

@BestGirlGrace which is to say yes, doom is much more likely to keep its stable 35fps

back when i worked on the engine keeping software rendering running at a playable framerate was sometimes a chore, and i can't imagine it's gotten any easier in the time since!

@BestGirlGrace it's not the doom engine anymore, there's so much extra stuff stapled onto it that it's about like calling goldsrc quake

@BestGirlGrace Didn't realize you put a *cast station on it! That's pretty cool.

Chilling, casually playing Doom (Archipelago) while listening to whatever you throw on this cell phone. ~w~

@exa The more time goes on, the more I lean closer to abandoning the 1.6.1 fork and just spinning up GtS on a different subdomain

Day ending in Y, Discord changed up everything and broke BetterDiscord, so there go all my CSS changes to make discord tolerable and not loaded with one-touch anxiety buttons

I hate this software *so* much

@typhlosion I don't have a subscription anymore but suddenly you've piqued my interest

@trysdyn The detail that's always been stuck in my head about it is that if you get ambushed, you don't get to see what's attacking you until the enemy's opening turn ends. They stay silhouettes while they attack, and *then* get announced as normal right before you get control again.

It's snowing!

Snow is pretty, tbh.

@socks YMMV but I've been using my Steam Deck charger for this exact purpose for years without issue.

@trysdyn Oh fucking hell this strikes a familiar chord. And it's been almost a decade since I ditched the team that put me through a similar situation.

The most I can say is this: do not burn yourself out on people that do not respect your time and energy.

@netkitty what if I'd like you to mew more, though?

@TonicBH awooooo~

@trysdyn Did they, though? It reads more like "We're going to keep doing the thing but we swear we won't put GDQ money towards it, promise" more than "We're not going to do the thing".
