I've been playing Doom Mods quite regularly recently and am really enjoying the new possibilities brought by source ports like GZDoom. I've started doing research streams where I give individual mods and Map Packs a quick try instead of giving them a full playthrough. That way, I can give them a try without the risk of mods interracting with each other and get a feel for them before attempting to get a bit more creative with them.

It's a nice casual way to give them a try and the results are easy to share thanks to stream highlights.
