@ThomThumb Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed, so glad to have the answer to my problem. I’ll leave this up for anyone that has the same issue.

For your needs, I don’t think it would be that complex, and it should be able to do anything you need it to.

I think Rainmeter is your best bet. I haven’t used it in a decade or so, so I have no idea how well it performs now, but it was the thing to have back in the good ol’ days.

I’ll keep it real, I will never use this, but I respect the hell out of the devs for making it.

This is a blessing. You won’t have to look at the spaghetti the last dev left behind.

All of the screen elements should settle like sand in an hour glass, but using voxel physics in real time.

She’s So Heavy - The Beatles. I know it’s not “metal”, but it’s metal as fuck.

It’s clear the public wants a faithful portrayal, but that’s the one thing the writers just aren’t willing to do for some reason. I can’t help but wonder why

Because Netflix doesn’t pay for the writers to solve problems. Have something that doesn’t translate well to screen? Don’t try to figure out to how to make it work—get rid of it. Have a character arc or plot point that moves “too slow” for modern audiences? Good news, that’s an action scene now, and there’s a gun, or a sword… or a gun-sword!

Sure, the writers can be blamed sometimes (especially when they are also the show runner… cough Davis S. Goyer cough), but a lot of the time, it’s studio pressure to make something quickly and that follows a formula that some exec believes is the golden ratio of shit to slick.

I’ve got it all set up now, thanks for the instructions. Super exited to try this out.

Thanks for the info. All set up now, and downloading games!

That was exactly what happened. Once I realized it, I smacked my forehead.

Done and done. Thanks!

You nailed it. Thanks!

There is a chaotic part of myself that does the merge. I both loathe and enjoy that part of myself.

Them: “I want one that looks exactly like this one on this website.”

Me: “Sure… but you can just get the one on the website, and it will be cheaper.”

Them: “Yeah, about that…”

“We named the dog Natalie Portman.”

I really don’t understand how you all get these popups and ads. I’m using Windows 11 on a key that has been upgraded since at least 7, and I get zero ads, zero notifications, zero pleas for me to install shovelware. It feels like you’ll spend a day setting up whatever distro gives you the most cred just to get a word processor running, but going into a menu on windows to change some settings once is a bridge too fucking far. I’ll just wait here patiently for the well constructed arguments and deluge of downvotes I’m sure are coming.

Ya’ll remember Windows, right? I know Microsoft catches all the shade when it comes to FOSS, but you know, it had this same model: 3.1, 95, 98, SE, 2001, XP, 8, 10… And to this day that is why you have industrial machinery run on windows 98. Buy it once. It’s yours.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that anymore. Products have to work in an ecosystem now. When MS got slammed with anti-trust cases, it forced the ecosystem out into the open, for better or worse, and there is no putting that genie back in the bottle. Sure, pay for it once, own it. But that kind of payment model doesn’t congeal with our way of life anymore. Five years from now, are you gonna be able to use whatever the fuck this company is selling with whatever is just released on the market? Not if you haven’t paid the company to provide 5 years worth of updates.

So, yeah, celebrate your nostalgic payment system and throw your money away on a product that will be obsolete before it pays for itself.
