Right, I forget about that every time until I’m reminded of it. It’s the first thing I change along with showing hidden files when helping someone. (Even if what they need help with is unrelated)

Honestly nothing will beat Warcraft 3 (pre reforged refunded) custom games for LAN parties.

Some of my favorite maps: Warlock (any 1.0X version), either teams or FFA, Uther Party, Battle Tanks, Archer Wars Legacy, Survival Chaos, Legion TD, Farmer vs Hunter, Founders of the North, Hungry Hungry Felhounds, The Predator (Version FINAL), etc.

Honestly there’s just too many to count and even remember

there’s also a mod that makes it so you can have simultaneous turn enabled permanently, although it does allow for some quirks and bug abuse, but it’s such a massive time saver when every player can take their turn at the same time that its well worth it.

Are they really picking their OS then?

But yes I agree, most people will just use what they have and Windows is the standard because they made sure it would become the standard.

I call bullshit on this post. Since Windows 10 you can just double click a zip file and it opens up like any other directory (even if it isn’t) and shows you the files.

Just the other day I had to tell someone to unzip first before they could patch the rom (they were going to play some romhack on an emulator); I don’t know how old they were but clearly there can be scenarios where someone has a zip file and don’t know what to do with it or use it.

I don’t even know what the rom was or which emulator they were using, because I just told them if they google Rom Patcher JS that’s going to work for whatever file type it is, because according to them the problem was that the patcher they had didn’t work…

But as it turns out they were trying to use the .zip archive as the patch file, so I then had to explain to them that they need to extract it first.

And afterwards the patcher they had did work so I don’t think they even used Rom Patcher JS in the end.

I have a GUI file manager that I never use but I got it because I know at some point I’m going to want to be able to see thumbnails of images.

I tried to get some JumpStart games to run with DOSBOX a few years ago on Windows 7. Iirc I managed to install but not run the game.

I recently tried a bit to try and get another 16bit game run on Arch Linux with WINE in win98 or 95 mode but that still didn’t pan out.

 

Honestly it’s probably doable in some way without one but next time I try I’ll probably use a VM (Virtual Machine).
