I use ScummVM, which is honestly one of my favorite open source projects. What is ScummVM read more

I manage a YouTube channel for the FreeDOS Project, where I record "how-to" videos with FreeDOS running inside the QEMU PC emulator software. When I started the channel in August 2019, I didn't know anything about recording videos.
