I could be mistaken but I’m not sure most people in 2026 have the attention spans for slow paced story games with lots of dialogue. At least, not enough for mass market appeal. A lot of gamers can’t even stomach driving to missions in GTA or having to walk around camp in RDR2.

You don’t say what mode you have the enclosure set to. If you have it set to software control mode, only Windows is supported and it’s going to do some weird proprietary stuff that needs the qnap software.
This isn’t a Valve project
Pay attention to what drivers are available for each OS. In particular, it can be difficult to find DOS sound drivers that work well with something that new. You can install Windows 98 and use it to boot to DOS as needed although I have personally found 98’s DOS mode configuration to be awkward to use. In these situations, I tend to use system commander to dual boot with a small DOS 6.22 partition: https://winworldpc.com/product/system-commander/2000-5x
Yes, there a concept of “pseudonymous” data in some of the guidance, which refers to anonymous data which, when taken together, could identify person - even if some of that data is not held by the data controller. Under those circumstances seemingly anonymous data can fall under the regulation although most companies are very unlikely to consider such nuance in their data policies.
The GDPR applies to data pertaining to an identifiable person. Anonymised data is more or less equivalent to deleted data as far as the regulation is concerned. Source: I was a DPO for 5 years.
I have found that the new adapters you can buy are very unreliable. I ended up buying a 20 y/o USB 2.0 dock on eBay and that seems to work with every drive I throw at it.
This functionality was implemented with a single cable select wire which is connected or open. I don’t see how a twist would work electrically.
The cable with the twist is a floppy drive cable, not IDE.
Surprised there is no mention of the eXoDOS collection here. It has thousands of DOS games that run through a launcher with tuned emulation settings for each title.
Personally, I like playing with real hardware but this is probably the best option right now for a jukebox style experience on a modern PC.
Plenty of BBSs around: https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/

Great for automatically generating falsehoods; this is true.
Former DPO here. The “right to be forgotten” doesn’t actually mean they have to delete the content of your posts unless it renders you identifiable. Anonymisation is more or less equivalent to deletion under the GDPR, which is why they can get away with replacing usernames with [deleted] when you delete your account.
I have an N150 proxmox setup as well. I had to enable iommu in the kernel to get pci-e pass through working (intel_iommu=on).

I built a C64 laptop using one of these. Here it is on a train ride connecting to a BBS.
This game was fantastic. I bought it at launch and was so enraptured that I almost beat the whole thing in one sitting. I still have it on CD somewhere.
