I think the C was dropped when Twitch started doing it? Which stinks, because it looks/sounds better as "DOScember", which reads as December, which was intentional.
"DOSember" reads as "DOS ember".

I’ve been working on something a little ridiculous for #DOCcember: a Wolfenstein 3D archive set. Books, microfiche, the whole thing. I’m making six, and I want to use the project to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Yup. So far deathmatch and co-op are on the table. If I have time and disk space left I will be adding capture the flag. I want this done by DOScember

I'm probably gonna work on my Windows 95 clone over Doscember if that counts.

Yeah, I’m doing it for #DOScember to raise some money Saint Judes Hospital after that I will be putting it on the hub and offering releases. Also going to be making a PC big box for this as well.

I've been working on adding multiplayer to the 1992 Wolfenstein 3D game for a while now. So that is why I need sprites since there is no sprites for him on the side, from the back. Working on this with a friend and hope to be finished by DOScember. It'll have Deathmatch,Co-op and capture the flag.

That makes sense, especially with an older engine like that! What part of the multiplayer project are you most excited to finish before DOScember?

I’ve been keeping a secret. I’m building a web app to play retro DOS games right in your browser. Powered by WASM, everything runs locally on your machine and performance is pretty darn good. I'm even adding networking (including old-school IPX) in time to host games in DOSCember! Beta invites soon!

Would you possibly consider partnering with the creators of RomM?
How amazing would it be for EmulatorJS AND DOSCember to BOTH be in the RomM roof for a 1 stop shop of browser based retro?

Doing something cool for DOScember. I am doing a lot of WASM for this project. I am still working hard and I am having a lot of issues with some things. I will get it sooner or later

In a belated #DOScember, I extracted the levels from Stunt Car Racer (one of the first 3D games I ever played) and shoved them into my "it's not a game, it's a distraction salad".
The car needs to be way bouncier though.

Decided to use #DOScember as an excuse to show off my little Unity programming sandbox. It's less a game and more chaos turned into code.
There's something so freeing about just coding jank without a care in the world.
It's my sack o' gameplay mechanics.

Both of my DEC DTC01 Voice synthesis units are working great now. As such, I put a little demo of one of them singing Jingle Bells for the holiday season and #DOScember. I am using an IBM PC AT and Telix as a terminal to run a script.

Started #DOScember with some old time reconfiguring an old 486 PC. Added Gotek and CF card hard drive. It has a Sound Blaster 16 but could not get my Roland SBC-55 wavetable card going yet. Had to settle for a relisten of the Monkey Island theme on a Roland LAPC-I. #retrcomputing #vintagecomputer

Need room for #DOScember sound card fun, so it's time I put my Hewlett Packard HP 9100 calculators away again. My 9100A always worked fine. Got a 9100B working, then it died. The other 9100B kinda worked then didn't at all. Defeated after a month+ of trying :( Maybe next time #retrocomputing

Ah, #DOScember comes again. I just recently bought a #Roland SCB-55 Wavetable board in non-working condition for a paltry sum. Looks like it's had work done so it's not likely to ever work but we'll see. I think I'll break out my MIDI/sound cards for this DOScember. #retrocomputing #MIDI

Here is an IBM 6580 Displaywriter System. It's mainly used as a word processing system but according to Wikipedia, you could also run CP/M-86 and MS-DOS because it has an 8086 CPU so... #DOSCember ? The phosphor is slow as seen in one of the demos so it would be terrible for gaming 😉

Trying to squeeze in some more #DOScember goodness, here is a picture of my IBM PS/2 Model P70. It's a portable computer with gas plasma display. The ESDI hard drive has bit the dust on it (cannot even low-level format) so it waits for a McIDE Micro channel IDE board and compact flash drive.

It's not exactly an IBM PC per se and would not qualify as a #DOScember entry but what we have here is an IBM PC RT. This particular IBM PC RT is a RISC-based PC and it's running an early version of AIX. The PC RT was superseded by the RS/6000 line. #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer

The VTECH Laser Turbo XT is a 100% IBM PC XT clone that I had out for testing some floppy drives. Bad idea as it can only handle 360K floppies. While one nice feature is the big metal roomy case, it can "turbo" up to 10Mhz. Shown is CGA version of Leisure Suit Larry.

One can't have a #DOScember without mentioning the AdLib Music Synthesizer card. The first mainstream ISA sound card for the IBM PC; the de facto standard for PC audio replacing speaker beeps. Shown (left) is the first AdLib card with the 1/4" output jack later updated to the 1/8" jack (right).

Shown here for #DOScember is the Dauphin DTR-1; a palmtop 486SLC based computer from 1993. It ran the Windows 3.1 for Pen Computing operating system. Built by IBM and marketed through Dauphin Technologies, this was supposed to be a desktop replacement but flopped at the $2,495 sticker price.
