Hello everyone! Your favorite fedibirdy is back over here on thesocial.zone!
My main area of interest is gaming- particularly #retrogaming. I adore the #msdos era up through the early 00s. Games like DooM, Duke3D, Quake, EverQuest, and Starsiege Tribes.
#Retrocomputing and #retrotech bring me so much joy. As I've aged I find myself stereotypically looking back to my childhood and missing it immensely. I was quite the nerd falling in love with computers the moment I could connect to local BBS on my mom's work PC. I put that i386 9600baud Hayes machine through its paces.
#Horror is another love of mine. Every week I watch at least one horror film, and I never grow tired of them. It's the only film genre I continuously am excited for.
And, of course, #birds! These precious animals mean the world to me. They bring me peace and happiness just simply watching them from my living room window. Ever since a pair of sparrows nested in my garage many years ago have I been enamored with them.
I love the 8-bit and 16-bit compositions and arrangements of Tim Follin.

Looks like #Microsoft, in collaboration with #IBM has open-sourced #MSDOS4 under a #MIT license. I wonder how this will benefit the #FreeDOS project, unless some of that has already been integrated into FreeDOS. This could also be a boon for #RetroComputing enthusiasts. ββ #DOS #MSDOS #IBM
