As I said, I want to keep my new machine relatively free of games. The hard line is Steam and Wine, I suppose. But funnily enough, I already have #DungeonKeeper and #Fallout (both DOS), #Quake2 (#yquake2) and #OcarinaOfTime (#ShipOfHarkinian). You know, these ones: https://mastodon.online/@alsorew/110994208384851926

Perhaps I’m in the mood for something more familiar. In this world of ours, who can blame me!

Video? #mpv.

Audio? mpv.

Images? mpv.

Wait, what? mpv.

No, go back one. Images? Yes, mpv.

Huh. mpv.

PDFs in mpv, too? Don’t be silly! #firefox, of course.

I would be the first to admit that including concise statements in your profile can be helpful. I can quickly see what you’re into and what you’re not.

However, there are plenty of issues I don’t want to deal with, no matter what side of an argument I’m on.

Ugh!

So, I added this to my profile:

> 🤖 I make a reasonable effort to avoid anything made with machine learning.

I can expand, but I hope it’s clear enough.

What am I doing? I’m playing #quake2 with a #DualShock4 gyro for science. What? You don’t? That’s strange.

Look at those chunky pixels!

For some reason, the GOG version wouldn’t work in #DOSBoxPure. However, there is an obscure website – the name begins with an “a” and ends with “rchive-dot-org” – with an old DOS version of the game.

Also, some time ago, I tested #KeeperFX on the #SteamDeck, and I was pleasantly surprised. You have to tweak the controls, but the default keyboard and mouse profile works well enough for both the RTS and FPS modes of the game.
