    Blown away by "Anacreon: Reconstruction 4021" - a DOS 4X game with text-based GUI which pre-dates Master of Orion by 6 years! #RetroGaming #MSDOS #Anacreon #MasterOfOrion

    @dosnostalgic If you mean WASD altogther, Dark Castle on the Mac used it in 1986! I discovered this recently: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwimGbpB0_E/

    1. Invalid filename.
      MS-DOS Floppy on Instagram: "Dark Castle (1986). A precision platformer with a unique new control scheme - you move around with WASD and throw rocks aimed with the mouse. The internet is full of stories about this game, people spending hours honing their platforming and aiming skills to get past a tricky bit to reach the next screen. Dark Castle was a hugely popular game and got mostly inferior ports to other systems which didn't offer the same amount of control or graphical resolution. This is one game probably best on the Mac (at least until the Amiga port arrived?). Interestingly, the developers of this game would later go on to co-found Macromedia and create Flash. . #1986 #darkcastle #siliconbeachsoftware #platformgame #platformer #wasd #macromedia #flash #mac #classicmac #macclassic #macgaming #msdos #msdosgames #dosgames #dosgaming #retrogames #retrogaming #retrocollectiveaustralia"

    @dosnostalgic Glad he's got at least some rights to his music. iiuc he still doesn't own Dune: Spice Opera, which would be a big seller. Copies still go for $100+ on Discogs/eBay.

    Recently went #DistroSurfing to look at some #Linux desktop environments. Did I enjoy your favourite or not? :P https://superjamie.github.io/2022/12/24/distro-surfing-2022 #MATE #Cinnamon #XFCE #GNOME #Pantheon #LXQt #Budgie #KDE

      Distro Surfing 2022
      from Jamie Bainbridge
      I have a preferred desktop setup with MATE, but I like to go distro surfing every so often to look at what other desktop environments have to offer, know what’s out there, and maybe get some new ideas.

    @globalc I stole most of my keybindings are usage patterns from i3, so Sway would be interesting to try. I'll try find a LiveCD with it. Start a survey at work, there hasn't been one for a good few years. I recall it came up every so often in the distant past.

    @globalc "Show your work environment" could be interesting. I'd also show some Vim and stuff. I like the idea of nominating the next person too.
