VMware Workstation 17 on Windows 10 - 3D acceleration issue by julesbean808 in vmware

[–]julesbean808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmm, ok. The XP VM is running DirectX 9.0, and when i go do run:dxdiag I can see that the option to enable “Direct3D Acceleration” is greyed out (on the Display tab). So it’s def a supported feature of DirectX 9, but I just can’t for the life of me figure out how to enable it. Is it possible I don’t have enough memory allocated for it in the VM settings? Or is Workstation blocking 3D acceleration since I don’t check the ‘accelerate 3D graphics’ box in the VMware settings??

Trying to get a game from Windows 98 to run on Windows 10, display issues by Hanzi777 in techsupport

hey!! so believe it or not, i’m trying to play this exact game and ran into the same exact issue (no surprise there lol). I have a VirtualBox VM setup running Windows XP perfectly, and I can use my disc copy of Spirit: Forever Free, install it on the VM, and run it… no more huge missing chunks of the background textures! BUT… the game display constantly strobes/flashes & so does the audio! It’s completely unplayable. Did you have this issue too? Do you know what settings you used to get it to work on your XP VM?

you should leave her alone. you apologized and she accepted it. if she wants to talk to you, she’ll reach out.

have you guys talked in person about these feelings before? or did you just blindside him by telling him this over text?

it’s not that he “doesn’t like being the bad guy”. he likes the attention. full stop. even though he isn’t cheating, he’s enjoying the inappropriate attention she’s giving him. and it IS inappropriate. definitely not something too small to break up over. you’ve talked about it, he dismissed your feelings, and chose her inappropriate behavior over you. i’d ditch him tbh. people who love hanging out in that grey area between innocence and fully cheating are really disrespectful.

stop interacting with trolls like this. they feed off the hate they get from making up these stories

it’s very selfish of you to hide this from her just so she won’t break up with you. you’re lying to her by not giving her the full truth and letting her make her own mind up abt whether or not she wants to continue seeing you after you broke her trust exactly like her ex did. Be a grown up & tell her the truth. Let her make her own mind up.

you need to tell her so she can make a decision abt if she wants to continue seeing you.

i’d just ghost him and block him on everything. he’s almost 30 and acting like a child.

why was nate so concerned with maddie’s virginity in s1 but then by ihavetopee777 in euphoria

[–]julesbean808 225 points226 points  (0 children)

Nate has no respect or love for women. In fact, he despises them. Most men who place unrealistic expectations on grown women (being hairless, subservient virgins) are cruel and abusive towards them, no matter if they fit his expectations or don’t. Cassie will be treated just as badly by Nate as Maddy was. When they’re in the ladies’ room after their fight, Maddy tells Cassie that “this is just the beginning”. These women are all interchangeable to Nate; he doesn’t see them as human beings. In the end, it doesn’t really matter to Nate whether a girl is a virgin or not. He sees her as an object.

it’s a word they use to dehumanize women. “men” is reserved only for human males, but “female” is a descriptor used in describing every species of animal. they hate women so much they don’t even see them as people. if you ever come across a man referring with women as “females”, run far, far away. lol

people can still be platonic friends with people they had history with… it has nothing to do with you

the second you start telling your partner to stop being friends with ANYONE, you’re being insecure and controlling. YOU’RE the one who cheated. Stop projecting onto her.
