Love it when an indie title can afford this level of silliness.

And I played Fallout 2, although not on Steam Deck but on a desktop Linux computer.

Microsoft open sources MS-DOS 4.0
29 Apr 2024 at 7:26 am UTC

Quoting: lucinosWe already have FreeDOS so MS-DOS is only for history. It would be more interesting to release Windows 3.1 as open source. This might actually happen. Also very interesting would be the release of windows 95. This unfortunately is very unlikely as I remember they have many legal complications. The last windows version I would care is windows 2000. After 2000 I would just prefer windows to simply vanish from existence.
Agreed, they should open source at least the over 20-yo Windows XP. Too little too late, we now have extremely matured DOSBox and Wine that cover nearly all of our needs.

Flathub for Linux apps has been given quite the makeover

Flathub is my favourite place to grab various apps for Linux and Steam Deck
Same although it is a shame that so many of those apps are only available through third party (community?) packaging.

Well, I think warmly about both brands, Atari and Infogrames. Naturally I will be watching closely what they are up to :)

Yeah none of this is true. Get out of the room, Russian troll. Either you are spewing Russian propaganda or repeating it.

Quoting: pbGoing by the title, it seems to be about the Warsaw Uprising [External Link].
Yeah and uhhhh safe to say you won't take back occupied Poland, nor Warsaw.

The Warsaw Uprising of 44 is one of the most tragic bits in our recent(ish) history, still remembered and deeply honored in Poland. It is not part of the history lessons in most countries so it is often forgotten as many failed insurrections are.

But to us Poles it is important to honor the sacrifice of the civilians that were part of the uprising as well as understand it was the last ditch attempt to get at least partly liberated on our own, without help from USSR or the Western forces.

It is also one of the reasons why Polish citizens understand the dramatic situation in Ukraine so well, especially when it comes to civilian casualties.

Despite a few games already covering The Warsaw Uprising it is safe to say that it failed to get a quality video game coverage so far. Perhaps this title will be different.

This classic Polish movie is a recommended watch on The Warsaw Uprising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTbpH6356xI [External Link]

Not to be confused with Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which happened in 43. On a smaller scale but no less tragic of course.
