What's an example of something that was just done right the first time round?

Can't get Microsoft Visual C++ to work for launching a game

So I'm trying to play Ready or Not on my steam deck. But ever time I try to launch the game, it's telling me that I need to install Microsoft visual C++.

I have tried using Winetricks, Protontricks, Lutris, and Bottles to install C++, as well as trying to launch the game with every version of Wine and Proton. I've also installed a C++ all-in-one.

But still I get the popup that I need to install Visual C++ when I try to launch the game. So frustrating.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

What can be the reasons for self-sabotaging behaviours when it comes to relationships?

By relationships, I mean both platonic and romantic. I'm just doing a bit of soul searching and reflecting on things I've done in the past.

For example, I used to get a weird sense of satisfaction by rejecting girls that showed interest in dating me, even though deep down I wanted a relationship and wanted to give them a chance. Not in a cruel way, just in a "sorry I'm not looking for a relationship right now" kind of way.

I also used to sabotage friendships that were forming before I got too close to the person. Sometimes I ghosted people, acted cold around them, or just didn't go out socially with them. The result was exactly what you'd expect - people just stopped speaking to me and didn't make an effort anymore, just as I hadn't with them.

I've hurt people that cared about me and can't figure out whether it's fear of getting close, fear of showing my vulnerabilities, or something else entirely.

Why do we cry?

Obviously crying is the result of feeling strong emotions. But is there a physical/biological reason for it? What is the purpose of tears and wet eyes?

Any Tasker buffs here? I need help with something.

So I have Tasker and I'm a total novice with it.

I'd like to create a simple task that shows the auto-rotate icon in my status bar when auto-rotate is on. Then when it's turned back off, make the icon disappear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

People who are attracted to male bodies: Do you think necklaces/chains on men are sexy?

I know this is kind of random. I've got a black necklace with a long round pendant on it, and I think I look better topless when I wear it. I'm not sure why.

Sprocket: Tank Design is such a fun game!

I bought this game 3 days ago and I'm totally hooked. It's still in early access alpha, though.

Any recommendations for a privacy respecting watch with basic smart features?

I'm looking for a watch that is able to do basic "smart" things like show notifications and ping my phone if I misplace it. A timer/stopwatch would also be good, and a long lasting battery.

I have no interest in an Apple watch or Galaxy watch, so I'm looking for something comparatively cheap.
