You’re mostly correct. People here don’t take Windows praise lightly.

NT is probably the best part about Windows. If you’re gonna complain about Windows, the kernel is the last thing to complain about.

As you’ve said, there are things that are still better about NT to this day;

• OOM conditions are way better - system continues to run mostly fine after emergency swapping memory pages into the page file. No crashes, just a freeze until the OS swaps stuff out. No data is usually lost due to this. Apps continue to run and you have the chance to save and reboot your machine.
• The driver architecture, as you’ve alluded to, is much more flexible. No need to rebuild a DKMS module every time the kernel updates. The drivers are self-contained and best of all - backwards compatible. You can still use XP 64-bit drivers on modern Windows (if you ever need to)
• Process scheduling is very good for anything equal to or lower than 64 CPU threads. Windows at its core can multitask pretty good on one thread and that scales up to a certain point.

Most of NT stigma comes from NTFS (which has its own share of problems) and the bugcheck screens that people kept seeing (which weren’t even mostly MS’ fault to begin with, that was on the driver vendors).

Mark Russinovich has some of his old talks up on his YT channel and one of them compares Linux (2.6 at the time) to NT and goes into great detail. Most of the points made there still applies to this day.

Not to mention - this isn’t necessarily the correct place for Windows anyway. That is exactly why they standardized stuff around Vista.

Plus - what about apps that store an ungodly amount data in there? Personally, I only keep the OS and basic app data (such as configs and cache) on the partition and nothing else.

Then something like Minecraft comes along and it’s like “humpty dumpty I’m crapping a lumpty” and stores all its data in “.minecraft” right there in your user directory.

Then you gotta symlink stuff around and it becomes a mess…

OP did say he tried to use SRWE but, nevertheless, looks like forcing windowed mode was the correct answer!

From what I’ve been able to understand, FH4 (so I assume by extension FH5) don’t use exclusive fullscreen at all, meaning that the game is technically running borderless already.

Can you try, just as a jank workaround, open the game as usual, go to windowed mode (press alt + enter) and then resize the window to span across the screen(s)? If it works properly it should keep the proper aspect ratio and resolution.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that the game just refuses to set the res probably because it detects Intel graphics.

I’d look for a config/settings file and set the resolution manually in there. Maybe that’s the only way.

I have two questions:

1. Can you set that resolution on the desktop?
2. Does the game support borderless windowed?

If the answer to 1. is yes, then it should work in borderless windowed as well.

If it doesn’t work ingame but only on desktop, then the game either isn’t setting the window parameters correctly (if it’s actually borderless windowed) or it’s actually just exclusive fullscreen.

Lots of games nowadays don’t even bother naming their modes properly anymore so “Fullscreen” now actually means borderless windowed.

Also I recommend DXVK. Just try it for giggles, it may magically fix the issues.

(Also that res isn’t 21:9, that’s even wider, because the closest to 21:9 would be 2560x1080, but that’s a minor nitpick)

Yarr harr fiddle dee dee…

Ridge Racer

Gran Turismo

GTA Liberty City Stories

GTA Vice City Stories

God of War Ghost of Sparta

Maybe Tekken 5 DR if you can stand playing it on a portable device.

Loco Roco

And if you’re into Yugioh - Tag Force are some of the best games in the series.

That’s my list OTOH.

A little thing called the “Massive Ad client” exists in NFS Carbon, Pro Street, Undercover and even World.

It was used to download ads off the internet and display them in the game’s own billboards.

It was also an entrypoint for a NFS World hack too lol so ripbozo EA

AFAIK LUnix exists as the “little Unix” project aiming to run on the Commodore 6502 computers.

There’s even a video where someone got it to run on a Famicom.

They kinda don’t have the sources there. That’s a decompilation by IDA in that image.

But nevertheless they could run it if they set up an arm64 machine, technically.

One thing, I don’t know why

I bought a PS5 with no games to buy

I got banned from “World News @ lemmy.ml”

Gee, what else is new?

Yep, shadow games had actual repercussions.

The manga is about various different types of games (not just Duel Monsters) and the darkness revolves around the Millenium Items. Shadow Games are initiated by the wielder of an item and the loser (or worse, cheater) dies.

The closest we got are the Season 0 and the first movie.

But don’t disregard the japanese original animes that do involve the new direction. They can get quite dark too.
