  1. As we cross the halfway point through 2023 (which by the way, can I just say it's crazy how were already midway through 2023 already?) we put a pause on the Hardcore Minecraft to return to our own personal hell that is #HDest + ZeroBrightness.

    I really should return to this corner of my interests, and it's serendipitous that today's VOD brings us back, even if only for a little while. I've been unable to devote the resources needed to prioritize modding during 2026, which is a shame because I even intended on posting more devlogs...

    On top of that there's a bit of a shakeup with the latest commits and how backpacks are handled internally, which will require a bit of reading and understanding before I can update every addon backpack to work with the new system, so it's going to be both challenging as well as rife with opportunities to post about, so hopefully I can muster up the motivation to return sooner rather than later...

    Anyways, for now, enjoy my suffering as we return to Hideous Destructor.

  6. Now that we have prepared for The New War, we take a break from Warframe to try out a new-to-me-at-the-time mod, Hideous Destructor. Who knew that this would become one of my favorite ways to play Doom, possibly any FPS game of recent memory?

    Not only have I been swallowed up by its depth of complexity, enthralled by its ability to immerse me in its world, and enrapture me in the way it overhauls the vanilla game's systems, it opened me to a community of players and other modders who I would soon find myself among, clowning on the tyrant and it's masses.

  7. CW: Doom screenshots, so heavily pixellated video game gore and violence

    @ifixcoinops has been doing a thing where he adds 468x60 ads to his website for free and I’ve been thinking about making one for #HideousDestructor ( #HDest ) to hopefully get more people interested in this very niche ZDoom mod

    here’s what I have so far - what do y’all think?

    this might not be the kind of thing that Dan had in mind though, since it’s not for a hobby website exactly. I would probably link it to some kind of “getting started” guide for the mod

    in any case idk I’m proud of how good this looks so far and I’m just happy to have made it. graphic design is extremely not my thing but I think this is Not Terrible and maybe enticing to click

  8. CW: Hideous Destructor, talking about guns in video games

    something that #HideousDestructor does that I would love to see in more games with #milsim elements is that it’s stylized. the weapons are often quirky scifi tech that jams, cooks off, or has DRM that you have to work around. and that lets it contrive its mechanics for fun gameplay while still feeling verisimilar. for example I feel like in most milsims you’re forced to choose between a bunch of near-identical rifles that are meticulously based on real-world weapons. but in #HDest each weapon feels incredibly unique from every other weapon and each one has its own niche

    the ZM66 is a piece of shit but it can pierce through armor, whereas the shotgun has incredibly plentiful ammo and is easy to aim but armor stops it dead. and even the shotgun itself has two firing modes, and both of them have interesting pros and cons (semi-auto can jam, which can throw off your firing rhythm, whereas pump-action is much slower but more consistent)

    anyway idk I just want more stylized milsim-like games that have cool mechanics like that, instead of milsims that are set in beige-brown modern military land with super bland modern military tech

  9. @kuba18i oh fuck yes. I have been wanting better GZDoom multiplayer for years

    maybe I can finally get multiplayer #HDest working after this

  10. #HideousDestructor ( #HDest ) is still fun after all these years. there’s really no game like it, although Beyond Citadel got kinda close

    also, I think Ugly As Sin (a Hideous Destructor mod) is my absolute favorite implementation of food and drink as survival mechanics in a game, ever

    you don’t need to eat or drink, but they give you small buffs if you do. eating/drinking is a manual process, and when you do it, it actually plays sounds of you eating and drinking - which I find incredibly grounding. each type of food and drink even has some flavor (heh) text so you can imagine how it looks and tastes

    I think this design is completely brilliant because it:

    • doesn’t create any time pressure like the vast majority of survival games do. you won’t starve or die of thirst so you don’t have to rush, ever
    • but, it gives you a gentle incentive to use those systems anyway by giving you small buffs if you do
    • it also subtly encourages you to slow down and ground yourself in the game’s world, which helps stop you from rushing or playing mindlessly and helps you immerse yourself more at the same time
    • also if you’re playing in multiplayer it gives you a great opportunity to find safe areas and sit around and relax for a bit and talk before moving on

    I think it’s actually perfect. I wish other survival games would do something like this. I know Valheim kinda does but idk vikings aren’t really my thing

  11. While everyone's busy today I figured we'd step back into the Hideous for today and try to finish our playthrough of ZeroBrightness with #HideousDestructor. Get ready for some more dark, cramped hallways filled with demons, your only way out is forward... What awaits our bumbling hero? Come stop by and find out!

  12. CW: Beyond Citadel first impressions: talking about a sexualized violent video game with gore/guro

    omg my first impression of #BeyondCitadel ‘s demo is really really good. I feel like this game could easily become my next #FPS hyperfixation

    it feels like most of their gameplay is an iteration on #HideousDestructor with a lot of options to start with a more arcade-y experience and then up the complexity as the player gets familiar with the game’s systems (which is a brilliant idea and a fantastic way to make an HDest-like game more accessible)

    the way guns control is really nice, and has a similarly autistic level of gun simulation as #HDest but I feel like they’ve iterated on HDest’s control scheme in many ways - making it a little bit simpler and more accessible, at the expense of some extra arcadey-ness

    the character deaths feel very guro-y which makes me a bit uncomfortable but I don’t have anything against guro and I don’t think it’s going to be offputting enough to get me to stop playing

    it’s a shame that they don’t have an in-depth healing system like in HDest. but honestly if they did it would probably lean into the guro even more so I’m not sure if I’d actually want that lol

    also the story seems to be a very Evangelion-inspired hyper-mega-traumapain experience so I’ve been deliberately ignoring that. thankfully it’s told in an incredibly vague Soulslike way for now so I haven’t been able to put the pieces together and I hope to keep it that way lol

  13. Small update to my recent #HideousDestructor weapon pack. A detonator is now required to actually detonate the new "grenades". These will spawn alongside them, almost all of the time. They can also be found in backpacks.

  14. Recently decided to start working on creating my own #HideousDestructor weapon pack, and first on the list is a "grenade" you have to manually detonate. Still a bit of a work in progress, but not too bad for my first actual bit of content!

  15. Reusable Ammoboxes

    v1.3.0

    github.com/HDest-Community/reu

    What's Changed

    • Ammoboxes can now be configured as empty, for instance 9bx 5 empty 10, sbx 10 empty 3, abx 5 empty will give you 5 9mm boxes, all of which will be empty; 10 total 12ga shell boxes, 3 of which will be empty; and 5 7mm boxes, one of which will be empty.

  16. Hexadoken's Legacy Continued

    v1.2.1

    github.com/HDest-Community/Hex

    What's Changed

    • Sync'ed up the Boss Variants to be more in line with the current Boss Rifle class, while keeping their idiosyncrasies the same. Notable changes though, the .50 OMG now only holds 5 rounds, same as the clip. Zoom Adjust & Drop Adjust display added to Bossmerg Weapon Status, and overall several paths of logic now route through the vanilla Boss Rifle class. This should help pave the way for a central base class that handles the logic, while allowing child classes to alter the actor classes used, such as ammo type, spent casings, etc.
    • Create Dummy PickupGiver that will decide which version of the M1 Garand Clip to give in loadout. Same loadout code gac, now with whatever ammo type is set in the options menu!

  17. AceCorp: Engineering Dept.

    v1.0.2

    github.com/HDest-Community/ace

    What's Changed

    • Fixed the Majestic SNDINFO lump not referencing the proper file paths
    • Fixed up the firing animation frames
    • Adding seemingly missing Quick Swap mechanics, taken from the Viper class as a base.

  18. Icarus Innovations, Improved

    v1.0.1

    github.com/HDest-Community/ica

    Ah, yes. Along with Ace's weapons, comes Icarus' Innovations, combined into another single weapon pack, with the same addition of its own spawning menu. The nice thing here is that now the Barracuda won't require an additional addon to work (since it uses the Six-12's magazines, which are bundled in this pack already). However, I've also updated the PD-42 to be more in line with the SMG's latest code and added an ironsights variant to it as well.

  19. AceCorp: Engineering Dept.

    v1.0.1

    github.com/HDest-Community/ace

    Yes, AceCorp's weapons, combined into a single weapon pack, with some additional conveniences such as a spawning menu similar to those seen in other packs such as Hexadoken's Legacy Continued, Radtech Weapons Pack, etc.

  20. Universal Reloader

    v1.3.0

    What's Changed

    • Spawn Handler changes, basically. The URL & GSP, along with each crafting material, can be disallowed from spawning in backpacks & ammo boxes. However, if a material is allowed to be included in those loot tables but isn't included in any recipe, then it will still remove itself as it's unused.

    Hotfix v1.3.1

    github.com/HDest-Community/Uni

    • Fixed a typo

  21. Reusable Ammoboxes

    v1.2.0

    What's Changed

    • Reusable ammoboxes for new HDBulletLib ammunition
    • More weapons now defined as using the ammoboxes for Ammo Purge handling
    • Reusable Ammoboxes can now be disallowed in backpacks & ammo boxes. If their original ammunition doesn't spawn there, neither will the reusable box.

    Hotfix v1.2.1

    github.com/HDest-Community/reu

    • Fixed the Backpack/Box Spawn Table removal logic

  22. For those of you in the #HideousDestructor community, I have a few addon updates for you all, starting with:

    HDBulletLib-Recasted

    v1.2.0

    What's Changed

    • .300 Savage, 7.62 Tokarev, and Birdshot shells have all been added into the library
    • Ammunition can now be configured to disallow spawning in backpacks and ammo box loot tables
    • Unspent/Fumbled/Loose .50 OMG rounds have been added for fixes related to Accensus' Wyvern
    • Loose 5mm Rounds have been added from Hexadoken's Legacy Continued for reusability

    Hotfix v1.2.1

    • Fixed ~== mixed with case-insensitive names, which is bad.

    Hotfix v1.2.2

    github.com/HDest-Community/HDB

    • Fix case-sensitive file inclusion in the build script

  23. You know I don't know why I haven't thought to post about this here, but in case you don't know, not only do I play and #stream #Doom2 #gaming content, but I've also recently taken up #ModDevelopment for #HideousDestructor over the last few months.

    Originally I just made a simple reskin, but soon after I started working on my own custom HUD mod, and have now found myself on the newly created community organization on #GitHub. Thank you for including me, by the way.

    I've been finding myself pulling down mods and updating, fixing, and enhancing them more often than I've played #HDest! If people are interested I'll probably start posting updates here, so keep an eye out!

  24. Seeing as how it's Easter tomorrow, we're gonna do a Saturday evening #Stream instead! Come stop by for some #HideousDestructor while we run some more ZeroBrightness, a dark and moody mapset that plays heavily with dynamic lights and shadows!
