Wolfenstein would be better. Prove you're human by shooting Nazis.

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago

Actually, can we do that IRL?

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

But you only need to kill one to pass the Captcha.

Mecha Hitler on "I Am Death Incarnate" difficulty.

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Lol this would have been a valid captcha until 2016

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah that ain't happening on mobile with no strafe.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Go on. Play like it's 1993 all over again.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You could assign keys to strafe in 1993.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Tell me you played with strafe in 1993 and I'll never belueve another word out of your mouth.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have distinct memories of my dad teaching me to strafe on his 486-powered laptop with a laggy monochrome screen. Maybe it was a modifier key that changed left/right to strafing? It was definitely a feature in the OG Doom and Wolfenstein 3D before it.

[–] grozzle@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah, it was Alt. i don't know what's wrong with these other people.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They don't want to admit they never bothered looking at the control options.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me and my cousins absolutely used strafe back in the early 90s. And forwards. And backwards. We were so excited every time we got into a gunfight we would have moved vertically too if there was an option for it.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

There was an option for that. It was called "Descent".

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 years ago

Nobody I knew in the early 90s played with strafe. That wasn’t a thing that existed. I couldn’t agree with you more.

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do I press Alt on my phone?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Get USB OTG and plug in any keyboard. Or you could use a bluetooth one.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

Found the robot

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I proved I was human on mobile without strafe. You just have to let them come to you. The wall protect you.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I ain't no pansy ass spawn camper! That ain't how you play doom!

... But yeah that works.

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

They've done well to get all the way through to E1M9 without killing three monsters

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Still no idea where they got those sounds.
