I'm pretty sure Linus used Doom to stress-test the memory-management, not Quake. I have had a quote in my stash for ages: I've run DOOM more in the last few days than I have the last few months. I just love debugging ;-) -- Linus Torvalds

";-)" It looks so strange with the nose nowadays. But that was how people did it if I remember correctly.

  I always used the nose even when my friends used noseless emoticons as the latter look like squished faces to me :-P

    Huh! I always read that as sticking out one's tongue.

      It is!

      The tongue was 'P'. Either ;P or ;-P (or :P or :-P).

  I still like to do these: :^) — with a nose that looks like, well, a nose, *<:^) — with a beanie hat, Ж:^) — with unkempt hair. Emojis bring some expression, but they take some away, too.

This is correct; it was definitely doom in 93-94. I remember playing it then, and it was brand new at that time.
