heyyy sorry we put your boyfriend in a doom mod. yeah its a representation of his childhood trauma and his relationship with you. yeah hes slowly losing his mind to grief. hes in the house now. sorry
also, the most obvious joke about myhouse.wad most people from outside the doom community don't get is that for literal decades, people have been trying to recreate their own houses within the doom engine, typically uploading them to doomworld or the idgames archive as "my house". like seriously, there's hundreds of these things and they're all pretty mediocre
then along comes veddge, who uploads the innocuous myhouse.wad to doomworld, and it's the standout liminal horror experience of the entire year
i got a homework assignment to make a pic with this halloween themed color pallet. I also wanted to draw a house. I also wanted it to be thematically spooky. Boom. MyHouse.wad painting
