Most of these desktops are just sad

They're not desktop screenshots (well, they are, but that's not the idea) - they're skin previews.

Creativity / Re: Pixel Art

I think this is my first attempt at pixel art. Came out quite nicely, if I can say it myself.

Made this one quite recently.

"hey guys I have no natural talent whatsoever, nor do I have any sense of color matching BUT LOOK I JUST SPENT $500 ON THE ENTIRE ADOBE SOFTWARE SUITE SO LETS CREATE SOME AWFUL THEMES BY MISUSING THE GRADIENT TOOL AND PLASTERING UGLY IMAGES ALL OVER THE START MENU AND EXPLORER WINDOW WHICH TOTALLY DON'T AFFECT USEABILITY AT ALL!!!"

And of course, I've saved the "best" one for last:

Games / Re: Holy stuff, This Is In DOS

Calling it made in DOS is kinda false considering there's this thing called a graphics card

No, it isn't. DOS is just the operating system: you could easily make an OpenGL-accelerated DOS game. This, on the other hand, strictly uses software rendering. It really looks amazing considering the very limited resources.

I thought DOSBox emulated a Pentium 2 class

Not quite; the speed depends solely on how fast your host CPU is, or how many CPU cycles you've assigned. DOSBox also does not support anything newer than the Pentium's instruction set.

impressive through the software but on a 286 processor, performance would be horrible. this is why doom and wolfenstien had the graphics they had; they were meant to run on 286 processors

Lolno. DOOM requires a 386 CPU to be playable, and you really want a 486DX2-66 to play it completely smoothly. I don't even think it would start on a 286.

Would you mind posting a link to said topic so we can look at it? Considering the quotes in the OP are extremely generic it could be fake for all we know.

Make sure you have all the proper drivers installed, and the approporiate patches for the games, as well. NFS 4, for example, has severe performance issues with any GPU newer than a RIVA TNT2 or Rage 128, unless you install an updated version of the 3D setup.
