      Sorry, did read Workers and Resources as a module/DLC of Witcher – somehow didn’t catch on to the mismatch in the naming. πŸ˜›
      Some content on NexusMods as well. :”)
      Are you playing it through Proton and Steam Launcher? There’s Windowed borderless which apparently reduces FPS, else ALT + ENTER according to this.
      Still use Acemovi, reported some bugs via email a couple of months ago with no response yet. πŸ™
      Over here Solitaire Events is in a time warp – could it be aliens?

        La Marzocco is mentioned a lot – they were the first with the horizontal boilers. Hefty prices these days though.

        Someone suggested Accademia del Caffè Espresso looks like a nice place to discover when next in Italy.
        There’s been some success reported with the treatment of fire ants up north, they’re on the march here so preparation is key.
        How’s the weather your way? There was news last week of a big storm somewhere in Tornado Alley – a mini tornado once wreaked a small trail of havoc a kilometer south of here some years back, is all thank goodness. Starting to dry out a little now, not an uncommon effect due to the low mountain ranges to the west.

          Does Witcher launch in its own resolution or do they provide a choice?
          Yes, sounds like some streamers have addressed it e.g. YouTube, obviously other cdn’s don’t care, and the browsers + extensions don’t provide a “streaming” dialog of user options. The browser people are aware of it, somehow a new instance of a video launched from a full screen window in a tabbed group is not doable. πŸ™

            Ah, okay, good catch. Happy enough on 60 HZ here – the monitor here doesn’t support full HDR on Windows anyway – crock or not. πŸ˜›

              Yes, I use metal teapot so horribly non-standard. Milk before though – definitely no sugar. And this is for Camellia Sinensis only, is there a standard for others e.g. green tea – Jasmine Rooibos etc?

                A Minimalist hanging leather chair is not unique, as it’s already done, maybe a hanging chair with coffee table attached? Swinging a low arc as a pendulum, with an attached timepiece and optional chiming bells configurable as off/softly.

                  The comic book My Little Pony is available for loan at Wayback too, looks like a story in there for 99 pages.
                  Ther’s enough interest in Dog to keep you going until the end, no eye-popping antics from the dog to break any of the very few moments of monotony though. But then you know it’s all real despite an oft used tendency to employ CGI in such cases.

                    The word “martyr” is being used out of context in the media it seems, so asked the question. These days many folks just ask AI without referring to a dictionary – or even having any idea of its purpose. πŸ˜›

                      Getting quite a few 1A bug checks with parameter 3f, often happens in playing videos. Edge HW acceleration is turned off, still happens so could be chip/card – who knows? Performed all the usual checks, memory looks fine. CRC problem likely points more to HW though – time for pasture? The guy in town might be interested in hooking the disks + soundcard onto a new rig. In the meantime, getting back to the HP is the priority. πŸ™‚

                        So back with the old W10 clunker with a rather unpleasant shock at boot of the date hard on 2055. Apart from the CMOS on the blink and the event logs all messed up, authentication out the window(s), and the mouse batteries flat – the Edge tabbed groups all rolled in one and explorer faltering, everything else is pretty much tickety boo! πŸ™‚

                            How odd, given there’s no hibernation issues. Does the machine boot up automatically when shut down by the power manager. Or can the machine shutdown process circumvent the power manager at all? A recent Reddit thread:

                                On state FTA they replayed The Westall UFO Mystery. Any direct recollection of reports of the sighting are dim, it must have provided excellent publicity for one of our TV channels at the time.
                                Funny how the locals, especially the science teacher fared during the “hush up”, and the television archival footage going AWOL, with the Department of Defence continuing to remain mum on the issue.

                                    Nothing too cheesy about Significant Other, a nicely scripted sci-fi flick with a few twists and turns too keep up the tension. Nice effects to embellish the low budget production, too.
                                    A good number of movie classics are to be found in YouTube such as Free Primetime movies and Bigtime – Free Movies. One of them is Breakfast at Tiffany’s, a second viewing will refresh the rather fuzzy but pleasant memories of the first. πŸ™‚

                                        Just paranoia, are we absolutely sure MSVC compiler is detected?

                                        if(MSVC)
                                        message(STATUS “MSVC compiler detected. Adding specific flags.”)
                                        # Blah target_compile_options(MyApp PRIVATE “/EHsc”) # Enable standard C++ exception handling
                                        elseif(${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID} MATCHES “GNU”)
                                        message(STATUS “GNU compiler detected.”)
                                        # Add GNU specific flags here
                                        endif()

                                        MSVC is supposed to define _WINDOWS internally or something – can you tell if that is working A_OK?
                                        Edit: Sounds silly, but version checking for MSVC might go as:

                                        if(MSVC)
                                        message(STATUS “Microsoft Visual C++ compiler detected.”)
                                        message(STATUS “MSVC version: ${MSVC_VERSION}”)
                                        message(STATUS “MSVC toolset version: ${MSVC_TOOLSET_VERSION}”)

                                        # Example: Require a minimum version
                                        if(${MSVC_VERSION} VERSION_LESS 19.10)
                                        message(FATAL_ERROR “MSVC version older than Visual Studio 2017 (v15) is not supported.”)
                                        endif()

                                        # Example: Apply specific flags for a certain version
                                        if(${MSVC_VERSION} VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL 19.28)
                                        # Code to handle features available in newer VS 2019 versions (16.8+)
                                        add_definitions(…)
                                        endif()

                                        Just in case of an issue with _AFXDLL, also try adding the following in the mfc section maybe before the PUBLIC _AFXDLL bit:

                                        add_definitions(-D_AFXDLL)

                                        More paranoia – although you are sure to have covered most of this stuff: VS is configured to “Use MFC in a Shared DLL”?
                                        Not sure – if std_afx.h is used with underscore instead of stdafx.h, it must be configured as so in VS Precompiled headers section.
                                        Also in the stdafx.h, specify the versions of Windows required for MWEdit with _WIN32_WINNT – e.g. W10.11: 0x0A00

                                          It’s the default_int error mentioned above. It’s the very first error the compiler emits when it is “parsing” the entry point, although it’s only level 1, which can be turned off.
                                          The second error is because windows.h is absent, #include <wchar.h> may resolve the issue. Hopefully. πŸ™‚

                                            Looks like it isn’t seeing a main at all- give this a shot: #include main_frm.h in stdafx.h and see how it goes.
