Them: so you're making a DOS game in 2024? Isn't that too restricted?

Me:...

@reidrac I think you're posting to the wrong audience here. DOS is too modern for us 🤣

Looks great, I'll definitely give it a try

@reidrac awww that looks very very good. Also the combination with the handheld platform would've been a "you must be from the future, here is all the money, sir" back in the DOS days. 🥰

@reidrac this was mentioned in Subnautica Below Zero!

@semitones @reidrac
Clearly Alterra doesn't have powerful enough hardware to support such advanced graphics, hence why they play the pen and paper version.

@reidrac looks / sounds / plays great on DOSBox core of Android RetroArch.

@reidrac you must get this question a lot, apologies: What device is this?
