in fact the latest version of the gzdoom engine is now “uzdoom” after the former maintainer whose name supposedly coincidentally is abbreviated “gz” was ousted for being precisely the sort of person who usually has administrative roles in “communities” related to old nerd interests and runs even MORE worrisomely than before. if i become again willing to take this computer apart and try to replace its “thermal paste” again i can check on if a properly functioning computer can feasibly run this in levels with more than 2 monster types active at once without overheating and shutting off out of presumed rage at how stupid the monsters are. i suspect my hardware is, as usual, as always, woefully inadequate for what I want it to do, even when, perhaps especially when, it is something incredibly old fashioned and stupid. the older something is, the more people selling the new ones want to make it difficult to use. you know that, i know that, but I rarely adapt to it effectively.

to clarify, the “story” i have with this watch out for dopes business< has it taking place before the comic strip in which it is established that whatever elpse and nemitz are is not native to this location so there should not be hordes of them as the dope's adversaries. although elpse also says "we were here first" and elpse is highly ignorant and might not be aware if there are in fact plenty of them still there. i briefly considered making it look like nemitz with elpse coloration with that in mind. and this is all made up nonsense anyway and i can do whatever i want. nonetheless i did not want this monster to look like nemitz and waiting for me to sketch an alternative was not effective. after deciding last week on the "nonsense anyway" option, only AFTER i started redrawing it i finally had solid ideas for how to change it, as often occurs. i do not mind if it looks like it USED to be nemitz, only that it does not look like it is nemitz now partway through sketching in angle 4 it struck me that the purple and green color scheme looks like barney the dinosaur, who has been getting blown up in doom add-ons since doom add-ons have existed. but that is somewhat in character with nemitz, to try and pass mitzelf off as a different character and end up resembling one that is even more likely to deserve to come under attack. i do not know yet if i will also include the flower. in fact i do not even have a longwinded reasoning explanation for why i did or did not include it yet.
