Some people have trouble doing meaningless intellectual pursuits like crosswords, sudoku etc. Working on Colorforth might be the greatest meaning in his life.

He himself said he didn't think it was worth it anymore and that he very rarely codes now. I respect him enough to assume he has some other pursuit more worthy of his attention.

Maybe he's been suffering a cognitive decline that makes coding much less rewarding.

s" must" . s" not" . s" go" . s" too" . s" deep" . s" into" . s" forth" . s" rabbithole" . When you go down the rabbit hole in Forth, it is easy to pop back out.

Actually it is- s" rabbithole" .s" forth" .s" into" .s" deep" .s" too" .s" go" .s" not" .s" must" .

From the website; Optimizations for windowed games improves gaming on your PC by using a new presentation model for DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 games that appear in a window or in a borderless window.

When these optimizations are used, games that originally use the legacy blt-model presentation can use the newer flip-model presentation instead (if the game is compatible). This results in lower frame latency and lets you use other newer gaming features; for example, Auto HDR, and variable refresh rate (for displays that support it).

It is checked by default. Hope it helps.

>> Some people have trouble doing meaningless intellectual pursuits like crosswords, sudoku etc. My Dad is like this. I'm like this. My son is like this. Unless we're busy, pushing ourselves to build something, fix something or just outside doing something we don't feel the reward. My Dad told his motto, "A rolling rock gathers no moss - until it finally stops rolling." He told me that in his 50's - he's in his 80's…

Yeah! I can definitely see myself doing that. I told family and friends that my ideal way of death is a quick death by the computer when I'm over 80 working on some projects. I just have to move forward in some direction.
