If you are starting or planning to get into doom modding. Here are a few tips. -Start work on small scale mods. -Get your feet wet by trying some coding or graphic work. -Its okay to ask for help but be respectful. -Collab with other modders to help you understand stuff. -Don't be a dickwad!

It appears that Bobby Prince has died. Doom - Quake - Rise of the Triad - Duke Nukem. So SO many more. I can say this is someone who composed a song just for me. Not many people can say that. Dude's a legend. RIP my old friend. www.legacy.com/legacy/rober...

There has lately been a rash of people making AI generated projects for Doom, and it feels like a microcosm of the larger, "I must shove this bullshit into anything that was once culturally relevant because maybe that relevance will slough off onto it."
