Heroes of Might and Magic III open source build gets initial gamepad support

Quoting: ScintsAre the animations fixed in the new version? Last time I checked, they were too fast or too slow compared to the original.
Ha! My thoughts exactly. Not a major thing but it feels off.

NonSteamLaunchers Steam Deck plugin in testing, plus a way to Remote Play Together anything
14 May 2024 at 12:12 pm UTC

QuoteFor the v3.8.8 release that went out a few days ago they've hooked up RemotePlayWhatever, a tool I hadn't heard of until now. It's a "Tiny application that lets you force remote play together any game you have in your steam library including non-steam ones" which sounds really useful for playing games from other stores on Steam Deck and for emulation too.
I have forgotten that Remote Play Together has to be enabled by the developer. So silly such feature isn't available for every game by default. The same way we can enable Proton for every game (does anyone actually have Proton only enabled on supported titles?).

Quoting: d10sfanI personally won't since it'll have 100+ DLCs
So, just like The Sims then :P
Yeah lol it would be great if a high quality Sims competitor offered more for less. That would be some value. Otherwise, why should I play it over The Sims 4 or The Sims 3 for which I recently bought all the DLCs during a -50% sale?

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

Microsoft open sources MS-DOS 4.0

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.
