Spent 2 weeks on a Quake texture pack, then ditched it for a 1996 WAD

After 6 months of tweaking a modern HD texture pack for Quake, I hit a wall where every stone brick looked too clean. Last Tuesday I swapped it out for an original 1996 WAD with the chunky 256-color palette and honestly, the fog in E1M2 finally feels like fog again. I kept the old alpha testing save file and the frame rate jumped from 90 to 144 on my old rig too. It was a hard choice because the HD pack had better lighting, but the mood won out. Has anyone else gone back to vanilla assets after pouring hours into a fidelity mod?
