Honestly, neither. Got a good local takeaway about 5 minutes on foot, don’t even need to drive. Bit cheaper and I get to eat in the comfort of my own home.

If not that, then I’d rather go to a supermarket and pay up for one of the nice pizzas.

I remember when compact was hidden - apparently this was a change driven by telemetry. It was possible that there’s an overlap between those who use compact and those who turned off telemetry. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar also occurs with Pocket being left on too.

If compact breaks in a future update, it’ll probably be removed altogether. At that point, best option would be userchrome customisation.

IIRC, this change was made ahead of the impending UI overhaul. This combined with the Windows 11 getting bigger touch-friendly UI elements understandably didn’t sit well with many people.

I remember in XP, Vista and 7 using the UXtheme dll mod to get third party themes. First the loss of the sidebar then the drop-off of themers. I skipped 8 and by 10 I’d had enough. Didn’t really come back to theming until I made the jump to full-time Linux in 2022. Theming support being there by default in KDE is amazing. I miss the 2007-2018 themes but Oxygen keeps me happy for now.

TBH I don’t really mind a change in gameplay for FF7 or FF16. I don’t mind alternative story direction or action combat. But I’m not a purist and my favourite was FF12 so I guess purists consider my opinion invalid… LOL

FF7R being divided up into multiple releases and sold individually has caused me to just wait it out and buy later. Surely I’m not the only one. I’m also a PC gamer, so sometimes I can’t buy even if I wanted to and it just slips from my mind. Oh well.

Spikes in activity are the norm for new leagues, Player retention is actually how we define the success of a league. But yeah so far it’s looking good, especially now that some number tuning’s been done.

Oh that’s just a fruit salesman. I hear he has a good deal on pears.

I miss Vista. There’s nothing out there that replicates that feeling of booting it for the first time. Especially after years of XP… I got lucky though, I didn’t get on board until after SP1 had released so it wasn’t too bad and my laptop was above recommended spec for Home Premium.

Looking at SteamDB, it looks like it checks VC2015 is installed. So you’ll want to check if your bottle has at least one of: vcrun2015, vcrun2017, vcrun2019 or vcrun2022. It’s pretty likely that’s a required dependancy.

It also installs “DirectX Jun 2010 Redist” which installs or updates a bunch of libraries, I think most if not all of these can be installed to your bottle too. I don’t know which are required but it’s a place to start.
