11 IoT Enterpise LTSC is the way to go. Definitely don’t waste your time looking for it on massgravedotdev, because they also definitely don’t have permanent hardware activation instructions, either.

Cant paywalls be bypassed by just using reader mode?

“Yo big G, can you help us? Our planet is dying!” “Best I can do is official Catholic anime girl.” “Understandable have a nice day.”

I’ve tried all the ways, and Bottles was the easiest by far. Make a bottle for games from the high seas, using bottles’ preset for games. Once created change the wine from Soda to whatever you want or just use Soda.

Then inside the bottle look for install dependencies and grab things like vc redist, and dot net. Once that’s done under the bottles’ UI choice “Run Executable” and chose the .exe for the game’s installer. If it doesn’t work as expected, click the cog/gear and select the checkbox for “Run in Terminal” to see where it goes wrong and search online for what fix is needed.

The only time I had to troubleshoot with terminal, was for a mspatcha.dll problem. It was an easy fix: the bottle has a Legacy Wine Tools > Configuration > Libraries, where I found mspatcha listed, then changed it to “Native then Built in.”

Hope that helps.

On the flip side, it big sucks when a trailer shows all of the cool parts, and it turns out those couple of moments were the only good parts of the movie.

The trailer is about ~2 minutes of different action scenes that looks fantastic. Then when you see the movie it’s a snooze fest minus the few minutes of action, all of which were shown in the trailer.

Danse Macabre, classical music.

Holy fuck my sides hurt laughing. Sending a virtual IT bro hug.
