I've reached the point in Sunlust where it becomes like this. I kind of want to continue still but it is making it hard.

I'm going through older-yet-significant high difficulty Doom 2 megawads lately, since I feel some amount of bravado from finishing Eviternity 1 and 2 on UV, and so I'm doing Sunlust again.
It turns out there's two kinds of "Man that was difficult". There's the fun difficult where you can see what you need to do and how to approach this and every time you die is a learning experience, and when it all gels and you execute your dance between projectiles, do target prioritization and absolutely exploit infighting, it feels great. That's "good difficult".
And then there's bad difficult where you have your head between your hands and can only breathlessly whisper "fuck."
Sunlust is a wild mix of both, and I only have dim memories of playing it some years ago, so it's a good time. I vaguely remember the later maps turning into Slaughtermap Galore (pejorative), but so far I'm remembering why I liked it.
Happy 30th birthday DOOM !
I was up after midnight playing John Romero's new SIGIL II expansion to celebrate. Later today I'll checkout Eviternity II, which also released today!
