  • I mean, if someone says “Doom and Wolfenstein” without specifying “Doom Eternal” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW), I’m thinking of Id.

    that makes sense, especially since Doom eternal is in fact still developed by id

    Wolfenstein and Doom have both reached significantly more people since they got adopted by zenimax though, so most folks who actually played the games will have probably gotten introduced to them as Bethesda published games

    “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW),

    lol ok


  • Dude! The original ones were cultural touchstones in a market that wasn’t yet oversaturated. They literally invented and defined the whole genre!

    the original ones were undoubtedly MUCH more popular in their time.

    i mean sure, but that also doesnt matter to the point i was making

    More people might be playing the new ones NOW

    which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom












  • i mean palestine not being recognised as an independent nation wouldnt mean that the actual place, or leople there are not recognised as existing or being part of a country

    but also

    The State of Palestine has been accepted as an observer state of the United Nations General Assembly in November 2012.[1][2] As of 2 June 2023, 139 of the 193 United Nations (UN) member states have recognized the State of Palestine. In contrast Israel is recognized by 165.

    On 22 November 1974, the PLO was granted non-state observer status, allowing the PLO to participate in all Assembly sessions, as well as in other UN platforms.[34] On 15 December 1988, UN General Assembly Resolution 43/177 acknowledged the Palestinian Declaration of Independence of November 1988 and replaced the designation “Palestine Liberation Organization” with “Palestine” in the United Nations system.[35]

    • On 23 September 2011, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas submitted an application for membership of Palestine in the United Nations.
    • On 29 November 2012, the General Assembly granted Palestine non-member observer state status in United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19.
    • On 17 December 2012, UN Chief of Protocol Yeocheol Yoon decided that the constitutional name ‘State of Palestine’ shall be used by the Secretariat in all official United Nations documents.[36]

    if im understanding this correctly, the UN recognises palestine as an independent state to the extent that it actually can but ultimately has no control over whether individual member states actually recognise it as an independent state
