⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
The first computer my dad bought, back in the late '80s, was mostly a DOS machine that also came with a mouse-driven GUI called GEM.

I don’t know if it ran on top of DOS, though. It booted directly from its own set of disks.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Then you get things like GTA or Saints Row, where whether I want to be using kb+m or controller changes based on whether I’m driving or on foot.

I’ve long thought that the ideal control scheme would somehow incorporate both a mouse for camera control, the sheer number of buttons you get from having your off-hand on a keyboard, and also analog inputs for things like movement/steering and vehicle throttle.
