That might be a solid solution. I think I was a bit intimidated by the (relative) complexity of DosBox compared to vDos, but it seems like a reasonable way to go about it. Thanks for the link! That makes it much easier.

Man, if I smarter or dumber I’d really want a pet skunk. Unfortunately I’m just the right level of educated to know that I know nothing about anything abnormal pet related.

Internet is a finicky thing. What you should be getting depends a lot on what you pay for, what device you have, and the equipment you’re using, not to mention the infrastructure you don’t control. Without more detailed information, it’s hard to say. But, that said, your download and upload speeds are more than enough to do practically anything you should want without much of an issue.

I’m not supposing to have any answers either, but from a personal standpoint it seems rather selfish to even entertain the idea of making an instance owner do that. It’s not like these people are getting paid for a service (aside from donations, in some cases); they’re hosting in the spirit of the fediverse. Why would I pawn legal work off to them?

To be perfectly honest, Lemmy has had staggering growth regardless of the lack of media attention. And I’m not entirely certain that’s a bad thing.

Look at my home instance of lemmy.world, for example. When I joined pre-blackout, we had around 800 members. Now, two server upgrades later, we’re at nearly 18,000. If only a fraction of those newcomers stay, it’s still enough to jumpstart organic growth, even if it’s slow. And it gives us time to really develop.

Maybe that’s a glass-half-full outlook, but I’m optimistic.

Honestly, I love pulling out any of the Lego games. Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones come to mind immediately as comfort games, as well.

Yeah, honestly it isn’t too bad. I was a little put-off by the size of everything at first, but, when I checked the settings, there is an option to change the size of the font—and that really helped.

All in all, it isn’t perfect, but I am enjoying it so far. I look forward to seeing it grow and improve!
