I'm using all the default launch options for Steam and Battle.net (through Faugus Launcher), the only thing I've touched is Window Rules.
I was wrong when I said it worked for me - I forgot I still had Window Rules set for Terraria (the game that made me make this post). I just tried with BG3 and was unable to replicate it. Here is what I did, am I trying correctly?:
Set game to Borderless Window and disable VSync (tried it On as well, no change)
Alt+tab to other window. Meta+scroll up a bunch of times
How did you set scroll as a shortcut? I found the option but it doesn't accept scrolling as an input
Either way, this has the same effect as Keep Below where ALL windows stay above the game. And still requires hiding the taskbar which I'm really trying to avoid - if for no other reason than it pops up any time my mouse gets near the bottom of the screen
This is wrong. Epstein had an email discussing MTF porn and noting the lack of FTM porn out there and considers grooming young boys to be transition to become a new product category for him.
Turns out it was turned off by default. I tried it both ways to no avail.
I can alt+tab and the window shows up above the game (until I click back into the game) so it's obviously capable of it. Windows also have no issues displaying above the game when I have the game set to Keep Below Others.
I have no technical knowledge on how this works but it seems like "Keep Above Others" isn't actually moving it to the top layer.
Kind of. Mostly. I "hear" it in my head and it's very clearly not an external aound. And it doesn't....make sound. My completely unscientific explanation is that the part of my brain that is supposed to visualize stuff is repurposed. It's like synaesthesia, I FEEL the sound waves. But it's not at all similar to how music can elicit emotions.
I was moreso alluding to breaking the song apart into separate instruments in my head in the same way one might be able to think of a person and focus on, say, their eyes alone. This isn't super accurate but if I had to compare it to something visual, picture it like a project file for a song. Every single instrument has its own track and mix and mute as needed......that only explains the melody and rhythm, I "feel" the tone, too, but I can't think of how to describe it.
It's like an speaker in ferrofluid. The tracks have a "shape" for its tone that changes. I feel crazy trying to explain this lol
I went 30 years thinking "mental images" were just a turn of phrase. Had no idea people were actually visualizing stuff like that.
I had a bit of a mental breakdown once because of it. Everyone knows their partner's eye color, right? How can I be in love with her if I can't see them when I close my eyes?
But I'm as good at audiating sound as I am bad at visualizing imagery. I can usually play back any isolated instrument in a song and can recognize a voice I haven't heard in 20 years. But if you leave the room and ask me what color shirt you were wearing, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
10% market share is when I expect it to be impossible to ignore and I think we're gonna get there fast like you alluded to.
But...mainly for games. The corporate crowd will stay on Windows because they benefit from propping up other corporations. PC/laptop manufacturers will still push Windows for the same reason
Your experience predates mine by a decade but I'm right there with you missing the culture. You had to want to be on the internet to be there back then so the userbase skewed nerdier and smarter. Websites were also tailored to niche audiences, they didn't aim for mass appeal.
Internet culture remained pretty great until low effort garbage took over. I stand firm that (the modern definition of) memes ruined the internet and one day I'll write my essay on it
I mean I agree that streaming is bad but what the hell kind of suggestion is that?? Theaters aren't running reruns of Malcom in the Middle and they definitely aren't doing it on-demand so how is it a replacement for streaming?
I'm not a developer so take this opinion as you will:
Your pondering near the end about dependencies feels misguided. Did you ever think "How can I understand programming if I've never written in assembly?"
You're just using tools available to you, don't sell yours expertise short.
