On winecfg you can try the checks on the Graphics tab, it shouldn't break anything. Also, try to change the Windows version. Sometimes either XP or 7 work better. You're right about it being c++, not sure which one I installed, maybe this one: https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist

Install the full Visual Studio runtime and try some different settings with winecfg. People recommend Lutris but for me it never made a difference

Does Lutris require some special setup?

Using fitgirl repacks are a bit hit and miss for me. But if they don't work, Lutris doesn't help.

I haven't used it in a while but Aeroinsta was good and probably safe (despite their shady website). Gets rid of unnecessary stuff like ads and allows downloading.

It shouldn't be needed but if you want extra privacy, you can try torsocks.

Travel, nothing tech related

Fwiw, my blog's statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they're not, so I wonder how it's measured.

I didn't downvote but probably people won't sit through a long video when the points he's making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.

So make things even harder to find? A classic menu bar is not clutter!

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

If you're thinking what I'm thinking, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with beer.

Reminds me of when I joined some classmates to the supermarket. We got kicked out while waiting in line because they didn't want middleschoolers there because we're all thieves anyways. So most of the group walked out without paying.

It was interesting how random people came to talk to you and were really trying to get to know you. I don't think that would work in modern day internet.

I knew they were around because at times I randomly remembered my ICQ number and I tried logging in, but they won't let you if you forgot your password.
