Marty Stratton of id Software tries to throw Mick Gordon and his entire music production career in front of a bus over the Doom Eternal OST issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/gdg25y/doom_eternal_ost_open_letter/
Mick Gordon responds with receipts and even time stamps in files from the id audio designer: https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce
Bethesda’s eventual response in a tone seeming written by Stratton himself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/1enfvfm/has_marty_stratton_found_his_appropriate_venue_yet/
Fuck anything from id Software/Bethesda/ZeniMaxi Media until chucklefuck Marty Stratton is out.
Wolfenstein 3-D definitely gets the credit, but Doom took it SO much further and was the first game that really brought out our gaming-kid excitement through fear and suspense even despite, in retrospect, it really just being a puzzle game with exploding demons (and when you get into the history and documentaries, it’s wild what they actually wanted to do in the engine, but the consumer level performance limits at the time cut into a much more in depth experience).
Anybody that played the Aliens Total Conversion on the original Doom engine (best Aliens themed shooter oriented FPS) knows just how awesome things can turn out.

Karlach is a perfect storm character in my case.
My wife nearly always plays a tall barbarian woman when we play DnD and did when we first met IRL and played BG1, BG2, and IWD.
Kar is short for her IRL name and what I’ve always called her.
She wore a moustache and vato headband for halloween ~13 years ago and I called her Hot Karl (and before that I think she even used Hot Karl as a band name on Guitar Hero or Rock Band years prior).
She’s even the same short-ish height (well, short when next to me) as the voice actress for Karlach, Samantha Béart, which while random is still an amusing data point. [I swear I just looked that up on the fly for funsies]
OF COURSE Karlach is best girl, because Wife is best girl. ;)
I’m gonna turn down both Halsin’s and the Emperor’s sexual advances, again, then remind hot Karl that she’s the only one for me, and then when we leave camp, I’ll probably immediately get murderized by Sarevok because I’m not gonna join his latest murder cult and he’s not gonna like that.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Act 3 has it all.
Registrar is 1API.NET which uses Verisign.
DNS is currently configured to cloudflare (maybe as a result of this fubar scenario?). blah.itch.io would be pointed in DNS not from the TLD registrar in this scenario.
Contacting itch.io directly would be the first step long before going the registrar route as they obviously manage DNS on their end and not the registrar end.
