- “The alternative Windows Store” I guess sounds better than win64 package manager. Anyway, the idea of a ports collection is becoming universal.

Your DoomRL isn’t open source, and won’t run on DragonFly, and thus we’re left with no way to play it, but instead forced to endure what looks to be awesome. I’m left wondering how you can really turn Doom into a turn based game though…it changes a lot of the mechanics. I mean, I was an iddqd idkfa guy myself….but if you were into the whole strafing thing…
XScreenSaver 5.31 doesn’t link to a website
