Dwarf Fortress

Submitted by xXThnatosXx on August 6, 2014 - 9:34am

Dwarf Fortress is a game from Bay12 that plays like an older 8 bit game such as The Legend of Zelda, but more like an 8 bit version of castle defense or Harvest Moon.

It is a survival game where you play as a group of dwarves trying to create a new home in a distant land. You must survive against thirst, starvation, plague, siege, and many other things that will try to kill you.

It is a fantastic little game that will suck you in and not let go anytime soon.

A fast and flexible Internet browser based on Chrome that's reliable, powerful and packed with features.

Website:

Profile directory is located at

I don't know about other traces left on the computer. Slimjet is based on Chrome so it should be easy enough to make a portable version.

Wise Apps

Submitted by SGB74 on July 31, 2014 - 5:26pm

Would it be possible to add more Wise apps to the portable apps directory/store. After looking through a list of their current apps it appears a number of them are already portable such as:

* Wise Auto Shutdown 1.41
* Wise JetSearch 1.48
* Wise Folder Hider 2.02
* Wise Care 365 3.18

Which can all be found here (http://www.wisecleaner.com/download.html) What would it take to have an official portable apps release of these apps?

PortableApps launcher VS PSTART. Configurable Hot Keys for all menu items.

Submitted by Palpal2718 on July 19, 2014 - 4:46pm

In the PSTART program launcher application they allow a hot key for each menu item. It's very handy to be able to hot key start applications.

Does the PortableApps.com launcher start menu have this functionality? I know there is a hot key to show the menu but what about all the other menu items?

If not, is there any plans for it for the future?
