<p>the internal audio API used by this game is interesting. <br />LoadAndPlaySoundChunk is called with a chunk name from digisnd.dat, but you can also pass -1 or 0. I&#39;m not sure what -1 does yet (maybe silence a currently playing sound?) but 0 means &quot;wait until the sound finishes&quot;</p>

<p>PUSH BX<br />PUSH ES<br />PUSH SI<br />CALL StartPlayingSound<br />POP BX<br />POP ES<br />POP SI</p><p>since when has the x86 stack been FIFO instead of LIFO?</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> exactly why I dual boot. i wholeheartedly believe Linux is superior, but reality is a lot of resources are sunk into windows support and development compared to Linux, so a lot of the things that take me ages to figure out on Linux will work OOTB on windows</p><p>running only Linux is a daily troubleshooting nightmare waiting to happen and running only windows is a ux and privacy nightmare. dual boot is getting the best of both worlds until Linux somehow catches up, hopefully</p>

I tried it about 20 years ago at about the same time I tried Suse and Mandrake, and I recall thinking it was comparatively decent, but then I found Gentoo and nothing comes close to Gentoo for a lot of things. Distros like Fedora now just seem bloated to me. And your stuck with things working how the maintainers decided, which isn&#39;t for me. I don&#39;t like things that &quot;just work&quot;...</p><p>But I do think you&#39;d prefer a Plasma desktop. Fedora or not.</p>
