Officially, DOOM‘s Twitter once dropped that cute mech art, which caused an uproar among the fans—yet a few said they were just not into the cuteness. This chibi-mecha style of drawing super-labeled by Marina Nakagawa elicited reactions from the most deserving joy to… well, something resembling demands for bug fixes. So yeah, gamers just don’t let the devs sleep, huh?
Let’s quickly go through the art. The mech could just go by as a hulky plush toy—it rarely occurs that something can feel equally deadly and huggable. In response, a user posted heart-eye emojis followed by requests for merch: “SOOO CUTEEEEE NEEED.” Another weirdly voiced excitement over the gigantic size of the bird that was sitting upon it: “Imagine the size of that bird…” Yeah, whole mood right there. Even the DOOM community, famous for their love of chainsaws and demon-slaying, gave way to this gent’s charm.
The chaos ensued for, well, it wouldn’t be a gaming Twitter thread otherwise. From among these wholesome reactions emerged those PS5 players demanding fixes to the Berserker trophy bug. You know, like bringing up taxes to a birthday party. “Fix Berserker on PS5,” one user stated plainly; another copy-pasted that same reference. This is a meme-nowstuff: DOOM posts anything; the replies turn into a support group for trophy hunters fighting to stay sane.
Following came the off-topic questions; oh, that’s Twitter. Someone dipped in with “Is DOOM the dark ages gonna be on switch 2?” Bruh, we don’t even know if Switch 2 exists. Another player wistfully mentioned more levels for Atlan mech, which was fair, that thing was cool; meanwhile, somebody got roasted in replies to that unrelated comment, and that user fired back with, “This is why your parents left you.” Ouch. Twitter still wins in brutality.
The best thing? The original tweet was just vibing, no announcements, no updates, just a cute mech. But gamerdom made another thing out it, as always. Some begged for miniature versions of other characters (shoutout to the guy who wanted “tiny Seraphim”), while some just appreciated it for the art alone. And really? That’s what makes gaming communities beautiful. In one moment, they’re screaming about bugs; the very next moment, they’re all over a chibi robot as if it were their emotional support war machine.
So yeah, DOOM‘s latest tweet was basically a roller-coaster. Cute art, chaotic replies suddenly and uproariously scattered with technical complaints: classic gaming Twitter. So whether you came here for some mech or for that PS5 patch, here goes: DOOM fandom is unpredictable. Now excuse us, because we’re gonna be staring at this art until it drops as a plush. Bethesda, take notes.
