Re: Commander Keen in Back to Fribbulus Xax!

(response is late because lagging in real life :stoned) I think I'm being misunderstood, because while I agree that removing cheats doesn’t address the suggested motivation for doing so, I completely disagree with what it sounds like you’re saying, that every modder's motivation is, or should be, th...

Re: I watched 31 Spooky Movies for October 2022

Welcome back to PCKF as well TSK! I have never been a spooky/horror fan. This is probably an equal mix of nature and nurture. Same. Honestly to me it seems sadistic, watching people be tortured and killed. But then a lot of people I know of that say they like horror seem like nice people. :confused ...

Re: Commander Keen "Iceberg" Meme

I meant monochameleon's theory. Dunno why I thought that was Ceilick. :o No worries, thanks for clarifying. :) I also don't know why I was assuming everyone somehow robotically kept track of who posted each thing. It was sort of reassuring to realize that isn't the case... :o It occurs to me that i...

Re: World Mental Health Day

Thank you so much Nospike for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message. :'( <3 I think I really needed to hear all of that. And here I was beside myself worried I'd be absolutely ghosted...

Re: What platform should I install on Mac OS X for Keen 2000?

Oh also, I remembered someone recently made a remake of Keen 2000. I haven't played either one so I can't speak for how true to the original it is, but maybe it would be easier to get that running in Wine than trying to mess with an old virtual machine: https://pckf.com/viewtopic.php?t=12991 P.S. fo...

Re: MILDLY NEAT -- For all your random Keenery needs!

The other day I was absently thinking about how Keen's bullets are 16 pixels in size, and tiles are also 16 pixels. Suddenly I wondered, if you stand on your own bullet, could you survive deadly floors? https://youtu.be/UrV2yjuT6I8 (Well, some. I guess the hitbox of the shots is smaller than 16 pixe...

World Mental Health Day

Hi... Well this feels like a long shot, but I've been thinking about doing this for awhile. I wanted to take the opportunity to try to open a discussion about something that has been one of the most dominant parts of my own life. I've had... some experience with mental health issues throughout the f...

Re: Commander Keen in Back to Fribbulus Xax!

I understand why someone may want to disable cheats. I've read the reasons before. I'm saying it sounds like a good idea on paper, but in practice it achieves the opposite of what you want. Someone can still try to follow the puzzles with God Mode. If someone is not able to solve a segment at all th...

Re: What platform should I install on Mac OS X for Keen 2000?

There's been a few times people have tried to run Keen 2000 on modern systems, and I don't think I've heard of anyone being successful yet. You could look over these forum threads for some ideas:

Re: Commander Keen "Iceberg" Meme

nothing yet for deep lore? smh the theories are the best part The most obscure thing I know of is a fangame that was developed like 20 years ago that got shut down by Id Software. It was called Myth of the Moonstone or something, and I've never personally been able to find any direct evidence of its...

Re: Lex Fridman interviews John Carmack

I stumbled into this video a month or two ago. I'd never heard of this channel before, then I saw some random video of theirs got into my recommended, then a bit later I searched something about Commander Keen and this interview came up. Weird coincidence. And then I guess I noticed it was 5 hours s...

Re: Commander Keen in Back to Fribbulus Xax!

I was wondering as someone posted before they used God mode. The F10-G and F10-J don't seem to work when I activate the debug keys. It's disabled in the patch file, but since I just needed cheats for testing I deleted the relevant patch from my copy. ;) ?! I... really don't think removing cheat cod...
