or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word "proxy", "host", or "hub" is simpler

the specific terms aren't my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

"New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums"

I feel like this is underutilized and can be really good for keeping old discussions alive and reused. It brings us back to the old school forums ways. On Reddit you see the same questions being asked over and over again every month or so (especially like on r/movies), if they had the New Comments sorting method then they wouldn't have to do that. And if you could subscribe to a post to get notifications about new comments that would be even better.

Now I'm also thinking Lemmy could have a Mixed sorting option to combine some of the main sorting methods, so you could see posts from Active, Hot, Top 6 hours, and New Comments all mixed together.

Should be compatible with Build Engine Randomizer since we just modify map files, but I don't have a VR headset (yet) to test with.

Also supports Blood, Shadow Warrior, and Powerslave

brilliant intro cinematic

Hard difficulty, 50% mirrored maps

If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our old trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works

See the full README here. Also check out our Discord and Mods4Ever.com

Major Changes

• Many Walton Ware and Bingo improvements and fixes
  • More bingo goals (over 250 now!)
  • Fix bingo win while inventory is open crash (was common with bingo goals for using items)
  • Fix for kill allies bingo goal, now it'll count anyone who doesn't start as hostile to you
  • Tweak banned skill levels, remove banned skills (not levels) from Walton Ware so you can always hack a computer
  • Tweak New Game+ scaling and limits
  • Walton Ware no skill cost rerolls
• In-game splits viewer like LiveSplit for Speedrun mode
  • Auto splits for each mission
  • Compares against balanced splits instead of PB splits (time saves and time losses from the PB are redistributed across the splits, because this is a randomizer)
  • Customization options available in DXRSplits.ini (the game will create this file once the splits window is shown)
  • Here's a video of me doing a speedrun with this
• More installer improvements, more renderers installed by default (D3D9 and OpenGL2), and auto installs DXVK to improve compatibility for modern computers.
• M02 Warehouse removed boxes in sewer, and added button and keypad for backtracking through sewer
• Medium metal crates now breakable, 500hp like the large ones
• Fixed bug with nanokey/datacube placements for mirrored maps
• Fixed walls missing collision in M02 Warehouse mirrored
• Fixed bug with installer mirrored maps version checking, now feel free to always have the mirrored maps checked and the installer will determine if your map files are already up to date
• Fixed graveyard gatekeeper getting stuck (you can open the door yourself, also removed some blockplayers)

Minor Changes
