    I’ve found that streamers tend to have pretty nice merch. Unfortunately it tends to be pretty expensive because of special requirements and fairly small production runs. They also interact with the viewers directly, so complaints likely come up on stream.

    It seems like Youtubers on the other hand just send a picture to a merch producer and let them deal with it.



  • The Doom engine didn’t have diffusing lights, only ambient light on a per-sector basis. Ray tracing doesn’t make sense in-engine unless you change how the lighting as a whole works.

    In the OG engine, you can’t have a lit floor and a dark ceiling, for example. And objects in a dark area can’t be lit up by a light source from a bright area. The transition between lighting zones are hard cutoffs, and the maps were designed with this feature in mind.

    If you want to add raytracing, you probably have to change the lighting from sector-based to source-based. That will inevitably change the vibe of some parts of the game.




  • (in a timely fashion, actually),

    I bought two things. One of them had a message saying “Guaranteed by (X date) or you get a $5 credit.” Obviously that was the one item that showed up late. Sure enough, I get a $5 credit, followed by a bunch of emails on how I can get five or ten times the value out of my $5 credit.
