Modding Duke Nukem 3D into a joke about English culture can be good for your mental health

Duke Smoochem 3D began life as a joke. It was ludicrously, hilariously over-detailed, with labels like ‘coat rack’ and ‘kiss door’. The thread of jokes continued, but the coding became therapeutic. Douglas was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 some time ago. His condition tends to be episodic. Since my last psychotic episode, in March 2020, Ive been severely depressed and plagued by intrusive thoughts. I find that getting deep in the level editor of Build Engine helps quiet them, he explains....

Turning off High On Life's endless gun chatter only reveals an even more mediocre FPS
