It took a few more games before I found out that Hurt Me Plenty was actually the hard difficulty instead of the medium that it was in Doom. Eventually, I scored my first victory:

And I've been playing this game ever since. Here's my current progress:
Badge count is (26/26/17/3/1/0). Missing golds are UAC Gold (that one UV win was actually Ao100), Veteran Gold, Strongman Gold, Marksman Gold, Shottyman Gold, Inquisitor Gold, Quartermaster Gold, Masochist Gold, and Everyman Gold. Completed platinums are Technician Platinum, Centurial Platinum, and Scavenger Platinum; and my one diamond is Technician Diamond. I'll probably be doing UV runs next to get the rest of the golds as well as move up from HMP.
So yeah, great game, great roguelike, and I hope Jupiter Hell also turns out great.
