Don't do it first. Do it better.
So the other day, I had a dream that impressed me with what my subconscious could come up with. Maybe it's from being so stressed for so long.
It was one of those dreams that bounced between topics with no rhyme or reason, almost like multiple dreams in one. In one of them, I was playing Doom. Like, Classic Doom. So that was a fun part of the dream, as you can guess.
Then somehow, it occurred to me, "What if I tried to find new cheat codes?" And of all the things my subconscious thinks to put in, it comes up with...

Wanna guess what it did? Time's up, it turned every enemy in the level into an Arch-Vile.
Which was suitably fun and crazy but it did make the game kind of unwinnable. It was as nuts.wad as it sounded. So nuts that I had the bright idea of trying to make it easier, and my subconsciousness's answer to that?

Which in general is actually easier. To survive, if not kill everything.
So yeah, that was wild, and fun during a time when fun has a tendency to not last long when it happens at all.
What else was wild is that for some reason, there was a cutscene somewhere even though Doom didn't have cutscenes. I don't remember the details but it turned everyone in the cutscene into an Arch-Vile too.
For posterity, since fads come and go and it's only a matter of time when this won't make sense to the youth: This is a reference to the "Oops! All Berries" cereal, aka Captain Crunch but it's all Crunch Berries.
