Any of those would be a good name for the goose from Jack and the Beanstalk.
But for chickens??!?!?!

Epic is giving "the Fall" for free. A darky puzzle game where you play as an AI-suit trying to bring your hurt human pilot to a hospital, not tested it yet, but looks entertaining.
and
GoG is giving "Deadlight: Director's cut" for free. A shorty zombie slayer & puzzle game (around 4 or 5 hous gameplay). Old comments say not worth the price back then, but being free...

€11.99 for me 
Coincidentally, I'm looking for some Good Old Games at GOG right now, but lots of games just aren't running that well anymore.
They worked nice when they were first released on GOG, but GOG itself is becoming old and a lot of oldies have become just trying out compatibilities and hoping for the best

Deadlight: Director's Cut on GOG.com[^]
You still have some hours to get it.

VM with Win XP x86 and x64 and Win 7 ready to go 
You can throttle down CPU, SSD and RAM in the guest SO. As long as you don't have a super fancy monitor that is not downwards functional... it should work.
I even had a VM with Win98 for some really old games (recoil, avalon siege and a couple more), but I lost it thinking I had a security copy in other USB drive... that my brother had wiped out

Yeah, it's still €11.99 for me...
Ain't nobody got time for VMs! 
I usually play these games for a few hours and then I'm through with them.
Mostly on slow Sunday afternoons (like today).
Lots of great new games to play too!

Sander Rossel wrote: Ain't nobody got time for VMs!
time is only really needed once, setting it for the first time. Then just work with copies of it.
I have 2 different basic editions of each VM.
a) One with a fresh installation of Windows YYZZ with SPxx and generic drivers.
b) Another one fully updated and with some basic software (i.e. Old Office, pdf reader and printer, packer, free AV...) and this is the one I copy in my drive to work / play with.
Once a year I get the (b) Version, open it, update some things (i.e. the AV), close it, pack it back to the USB

So do I.
Copy and unpack VM while I am doing other stuff... install game... play until I am done with it... delete VM
New games in the main OS through their platforms (or fully offline if possible)

I produce those as comma-separated value files for one of our groups of engineers. It's used for statistical analysis of power-on-confidence failures. The machine has 3 buses and up to 63 boards per bus, for a total of 189 values.
boolsheet indeed.

Why Software Cannot Just Evolve — a Demonstration | Mind Matters[^] Featured in a recent CodeProject Daily news. What a lot of bollocks!
It is well known from Steen Rasmussen's work in the 1980s that you cannot just evolve regular computer programs. It took a biologist, Tom Ray, who crossed in ALife to figure out that the instruction set needed to be be non-fragile - ie a cpu instruction should do something regardless of what input it gets. Later work showed that having a neutral mutation network is also important. Avida builds on Tom Ray's work, in quite specific ways.
Richard Stevens use of Basic to try to rebut claims by the Avida team shows an alarming ignorance of basic facts that have been well-known in the ALife community for the last 3 decades. But then, this is a Discovery Institute sponsored piece, which has promotion of creationism as its goal, not truth.

Send them a link to CP featuring Bob - our beloved counterpoint to both evolution and creationism.

The MSDN documentation and examples use Node.js. Not sure why it didn't use ASP.NET Core. Now I got one more stuff (Node.js) to learn.

try posting a more specific question in one of the QA forums here. tag your post so it's clear what IDE and language you use, whether your target is Office 365 (cloud), or, desktop Office.

It is not a question. Just a rant on why ASP.NET Core is not used.

Then why are you wasting our time with an ambiguous "rant" that people here trying to be helpful can easily mistake ... given the title ... for a "real" question ?
