Lol this would have been a valid captcha until 2016

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 18 points 3 months ago

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

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

Actually, can we do that IRL?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

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

Mecha Hitler on "I Am Death Incarnate" difficulty.

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

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

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

You could assign keys to strafe in 1993.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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 5 points 3 months ago

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

[-] sploosh@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

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

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

How do I press Alt on my phone?

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 months ago

Found the robot

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 6 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

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

... But yeah that works.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

I did it without camping. Only took like 4 tries.

Just run to the hole upfront that's slightly to the left and shoot while running there.

I even managed to grab a shotgun.

[-] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Still no idea where they got those sounds.
