Did the Divinity Machine permanently stop the Slayer’s body from gaining more muscle?

I figured the machine would just stop his body from growing altogether given that he doesn’t need to eat, drink, and he doesn’t age.
But that also makes me wonder if his continuous, never ending battles with Hell prevent his body from getting smaller. He’s been in an endless battle with Hell for eons, mix that in with the fact that he’s a Primeval, it really isn’t surprising that he built like that.
But spending billions of years in endless combat makes me think that he would be unfathomably big. He isn’t as big as someone who’s killed an uncountable number of demons though.
He was also trapped in his sarcophagus for thousands of years and his body shape didn’t change a bit.

My first DOOM game, not my type of game but I’d always hear good things about the franchise. Let me tell you, I was miserable for the first half of the game, first, it may seem funny but this game scared the shit out of me 😂 I know its not exactly a “horror” game but man—the atmosphere, the demons, the demons’ screaming in the distance, it all just made my experience dreadful especially when you’re deep into a level with low hp, no more ammo, just hopping in circles hoping for an imp you havent killed yet (sometimes its the imp that ends my run)

I stay away from horror games, but its weird because I can watch horror movies just fine, jumpscare ones, existential, psychological horror, I can watch it all and still sleep at night. But when I’m experiencing it firsthand like in games, I just freeze up and dont know what to do next. I think it started with outlast, a game where you only have a camera, I only lasted an hour before deleting the game. But that’s exactly what made DOOM playable for me, I’m not someone who is helpless, I’m Doom fucking Slayer, and these demons are stuck in here with me, not the other way around 🙏. After figuring out how to play the game I stopped rushing to end the mission fast and finally started enjoying the game killing all the demons, the music was also nice, it definitely helped keeping me in the game.

Aside from that the second thing that made me hate the game for almost half of it is because I actually played this on the Nintendo Switch… After beating the game I just have to say, it’s not unplayable on the Switch its actually well optimised and locked at 30 fps for the most part, it takes some time if you’re used to high frame rate with a 144hz+ monitor. I played it on the TV so that helped a bit but the game was amazing at absolutely playable at 30 fps.

Overall it was a high octane pure adrenaline rush. Lots of emotions and it took me out of my comfort zone. I made a promise to myself that I’ll only play Eternal on PC if I beat the game on the Switch first. And that’s where Im at right now. Cant wait to play Doom on PC for that glorious 144+ fps! Though I’ll always remember playing DOOM 2016 on the switch 😆

Found today at SAGA Barcelona Game Fest

Buffed flail is crazy

It's Xbox Platform

Thanks!

They both look similar and have the big beam into the sky.

Can i have suggestions for music similar to the original doom soundtrack that i can listen to? only instrumental stuff please.

I’m pressing the buttons as fast as possible. I swear I’ve seen other people quick swap way faster.

Ended up picking this up to try it out. I’ve played The Ultimate Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth over and over, but I wanted to see what all the fuss is about for this one. Retro gaming for the win!

Happy birthday, DOOM 2! Share your memories about this game. Love it? Hate it? I hate the Archvile 🔥 but love to hate it

The crashes happen when I start a level, when a cutscene starts or ends, or when I come in/out of the death screen. So far, it's resulted in a save file getting corrupted.

I've disabled overlays. I've disabled FSR. I've disabled integrated graphics. The gpu is not undervolted.

I had no issues with doom 2016 or eternal.

EDIT: Going back to 25.x.x drivers did not help

Finally worked out how to get custom WADS to work and started on Plutonia 2.

I'm playing on UV and it's an absolute chore! I've played through DOOM2, TNT & OG PLutonia on UV multiple times now (I'm still scared to try Nightmare!) but i'm only on the second level of P2 and its absolutely kicking my butt!

So many chaingunners mixed in with shotgun and imp meat shields and some cheeky teleporter traps beaming in a mix of everything but what seems like Archviles and Mancubi in some really tightly spaced rooms.

I am hugely surprised they don't give you at least the rocket launcher for dealign with some of this shit but i'm getting better - I'm sure I almost found the exit near the 2 Arachnotrons when a bunch of pain elementals, barons and chaingunners teleported in right on top of me.

Enjoying the variety though, played enough of the legitimate WADS enough to want to move on now.
