Maybe I'm just old but the font on this site is unreadable for me. But reader mode saves me. At least the clankers can read it...

The e’s in particular are driving me crazy. I found the content interesting but I closed it because of the font.

What the kids call "DOS games" nowadays... Half of the games on this list are for Windows 95 or later.

The site should call them PC games.

Okay Boomer...

At one point during it's usage, words just stop accurately describing what it is, and starts communicating a vibe or something instead. Just like "DOS Games", "MIDI" which is just data in reality, but people started associating it with chiptune, so somehow some people now mix the terms and call chiptune "Midi Music", yet chiptune have nothing to do with MIDI the protocol/.mid the fileformat.

In technical contexts it's often still important to use words accurately so in that sense it might not lose it's original meaning completely. I've come to accept that everyday language can be messy and inaccurate and one can't always get it right especially if they're not familiar enough with the topic. You can still get the meaning across well-enough.

People don't generally refer to these old Windows games as "DOS games", though.

Apropos:

> Fun - [...] earlier "a cheat, trick" (c. 1700), from verb fun (1680s) "to cheat, hoax," - https://www.etymonline.com/word/funny

Interesting. I've had lots of fun with noclip cheats.

Ya, just like pointing and shouting at infectious diseases

but... then people can't constantly pretend they're smarter by telling others I.e. "the kids" what the original meanings are :(

That's exactly what I am looking for several years. Because VSCode is a bit slow via RDP or X11 Remote. I will try it out when I'm back at work.

Why not use vscode remote via ssh port forwarding? I just use it via my browser.

There is ssh extension and remote containers extension, they work together.

You can run it directly from a web browser too.

There is Syndicate Wars (Succcessor) and Satellite Reign, a spiritual successor from 2015.

Beneath a Steel Sky (1994) should be on this list.

It's freeware, available from GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/beneath_a_steel_sky

I started playing that at least three times along the years (if for nothing else, then for the dialogue: "You need a rad suit to go in there! -- What do you mean?! This suit is totally rad!"), but somehow never got very far...

Even worth playing through with a guide for the story, pretty trippy.
