Part of the brilliance of Doom has got to be this short one-syllable name, so all later games that did raycasting would call themselves "Doom-like" as opposed to "Wolfenstein-like". The latter is just too many syllables

I think the author meant "mostly 2D animation" when they say "hand-drawn", in contrast to the fully 3D rendered movies such as Toy Story. They mentioned Suzume as a hand-drawn movie, even though it was a mix of 2D anima

One thing I like about Mastodon and Bluesky (and Twitter before 2023) is that most of it can be read without having an account, so users can ignore all federation features and just treat them like old school websites. The fact that they hav
