I spent this whole weekend attempting to get QEMM and DesqView/X to run. But all I got was a wild adventure through the first Mb of ram instead. Which is a shame. I find it really special that dos was an operating system that was able to run an X11 windowing system.
I've also played more around with #vim but vim-plug does require an actual executable of git to get off the floor, so there goes my dreams of having my dream vim setup on dos right off the bat. I may have to consider writing my own #dos vim plugin manager that would curl the packages as a zip/tar and extracts them within the vim directory.
Then I'm sure there's going to be the fact that not that many vim plugins were made with DOS in mind.
Dos has its work cut out for it - that's for sure. I should probably document what I've been doing to bring the OS to relevancy cause I believe Dos is still fun and worth playing around with. More folks in Gen-Y and younger should give DOS a chance. Not in a serious sense, that's something that I feel Linux definitely deserves over Windows. But in a personal sense. There's lots that people can do to leave their mark on DOS much in the way that in the day of social media and in vibe-coded software, people still make their own websites and their own software by hand.
There's something to it with the fact that DOS has becoming vintage software that makes it worth exploring again. I cant quite put my finger on it but is sparks something in me.

Been trying my darnest to get my favorite #vim setup to work on my most favorite OS. 
I figure I share anyway because despite the failure I'm facing now, we really gotten over a few roadblocks in setting up networking and pulling data over https.
curl doesn't have the means to pull data from https out of the box because it lacks the means to generate sufficient randomness for SSL. To correct this, you need a dedicated random$ device driver.
#freedos has the noise driver available for the i386 and Pentium x86 cpus. You get it from the lynx web browser package. Then load that from FDCONFIG.SYS
Unfortunately, I'm now butting up against the fact that vim-plug works with git, and there's no official git app for DOS at this time. I wonder if I can fake it by making a script within %PATH%

@kirakira I definitely can believe it. Just find a corner in the map. Keep the joystick pushed towards the corner.
Then pause the game
Eventually the boundaries of the movement vector will overflow causing it to be inverted completely in the opposite direction.
Unpause the game
You will be backwards long jumping into a parallel universe on just half a button press

@kasdeya that's part of it. Yeah. Artists can make fanfiction of characters that typically don't have any appeal to bring appeal to their audience.
Sometimes those characters do have a different kind of appeal. Maybe these characters tap into your sense of nostalgia. Maybe these characters are an icon, a symbol for something?
Of all the characters to make gay, trans, and communist - why did I make it the cast from Nintendo and not Sesame Street?
You ever notice the first thing folks did when Winnie the Pooh entered Public Domain, they turned the character into a horror slasher film? Winnie the Pooh the Original Character represented something to the public and their own childhoods. Innocent, friendly, kind. The directors of the Winnie the Pooh slasher put a mirror to the characters iconography as a means of shock value. And there's an appeal to the public with playing with the iconography of certain characters with what these characters represent.
Why is Thomas the Tank Engine turned into a figurehead for dank weed and Eldritch horror?
Why are the characters from TF2 and Left for Dead going on an endless list of absurd machinima and music videos?
-----
TLDR:
Not only is it about turning off that critical thinking about why these characters are in these fictional scenarios in order to add appeal to an otherwise unappealing character, it's also about playing with symbolism and subtext that is embedded in the characters themselves. The Fan Fiction brings a distorted lens through these characters and with it creates novel experiences that the public is able to connect with

@kasdeya It's more or less wish fulfillment and the core of many of fictions - "What if this were a thing tho?"
So exploring outside what one imagines as possible, many would just create such unrealistic fictions where certain characters were drastically different from their mainline presentation because it brought whatever the intended audience of the fiction joy.
Just like Doom Guy finding kinship with Animal Crossing's Isabelle being met with the joy of many people - What if I make every Nintendo IP Character Communist, Gay, and Trans? I feel that would be delightful.
