<SnoopJ> Doom, but instead of demons it's industry tycoons
<raptop> SnoopJ: I forget, have you played Doom 3?
<raptop> Because it has a bunch of ads from an ingame defence contractor
<SnoopJ> surprisingly few times considering how many hours I spent in it working on CDoom3
<SnoopJ> and uh, screwing around I guess
<raptop> hm
<SnoopJ> it's a little weird actually how the UAC is less of a big deal in the new ones? I haven't finished Eternal though
<SnoopJ> like, they're there, but it doesn't have the same "haha screw you megacorp" feeling
<SnoopJ> raptop, I remember being very taken with the lore of the plasma gun (I think?) where they were like "YO we made a technology that puts STUFF in the empty space between STUFF"
