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

            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.

            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.

            Nobody I knew in the early 90s played with strafe. That wasn’t a thing that existed. I couldn’t agree with you more.

          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.
