@TopHatProductions115 Yes, I tried downloading the aforementioned KeyDB-cfg file + libaacs-dll file, put them in their appropriate places and still got the error. And yes I'm on the latest version of VLC btw.

Hmm...

Could a recent Windows Update have botched something?

@TopHatProductions115 I have NO idea. Lol. Your guess is as good as mine at this point. Everyone always goes on about how VLC is the most simplistic but also free video player which Yes I fully agree is worth it in some respect and thankfully there's no cost unlike with other applications but man, it can be awkward at the best of times. Like now for instance  as a perfect example!

Side note: I think this is a problem with My monitor or possibly VLC itself, but, when I watch certain films (..both DVD-Format and BluRay-Format) in VLC, some dark scenes are more or less pitch black (Aka black screen/background). For example: You can just barely make out the characters/object/scenery/etc... lol  I've mentioned this in a previous status-update I think. Also, bear in mind that this is with VLC and only VLC from what I've tested ever since I purchased My 5.25" BluRay Drive for My PC.

@Pascal... Do You have Discord? I'll msg You, if not, I can msg on the forum. Only reason I asked about Discord is because it'll be quicker when replying to each other  

Sure. See my Discord on my Profile.

@Pascal... Mind sending Me a DM?  Idk how to do it through Discord lmao

I'm not quite sure what You mean @dizmo to be fully honest, lol.

Oh and btw, I shoulda wrote this in the post and I just realised I typed it wrong, but, it would be ordered at Her local retailer and delivered to Her.

Oh, lol oof. I've also got a good story:

My Grandmother complainend back in 2016 that her 2005 laptop with Vista was running slow. And since my Brother just bought two Asus Chromeboxes for very cheap he offered her to go to her appartment and setup the Box and get her started on Chrome OS (She only needed her PC for basic Web Browsing). But she was like: No, I don't want it ! It's too big..... My brother died inside a bit there. So she refused any further help and trying to talk her into upgrading to a much much faster box didn't help. Later that year she passed away anyways so the problem also burried itself at the same time. And that's how I ended up using Chrome OS for a good 1.5 years. 

If it takes 12 hours to get there and back, they might think that paying more money to get someone to set it up there is worth it. It's not like she needs a killer gaming rig. I'd imagine pretty much any pc would do. 

i am bit saddened by his interactions in the last 2 days with me. 

What makes answering this difficult for myself is my kind of 'love-hate' relationship with many of the games I like.

For example, one of my favorite games is Skyrim.. But I also love to hate on the game for certain flaws. Bethesda (company/dev behind it) is also a company that makes it quite easy to hate on them, with their often awful business decisions.

Pokemon/Game Freak is another such combo. A series I played basically all parts in, which I felt like I was outgrowing (it became very easy) and now is basically eliminating their core fanbase in the newest games.

Dirt 3/Codemasters is a combo of game/dev that is easy to love though. They make quite awesome games (including Grid and the Dirt Rally series) and generally don't have anything really controversial behind them.

if someone were to ask me that same question, I would probably respond in this way:

"I like Skyrim, but there are many flaws with it and the devs/publishers behind it don't really deserve the support at this point. Pokemon is another series I love, but the franchise and its dev Game Freak seems to be moving into a direction I dislike. Dirt 3 is one of my favorite games - that I didn't pay for either - and the dev behind it, Codemaster, is easy to love with others series like Grid and the Dirt Rally series."

@minibois, Yeah I fully agree with Your comment in the sense that it's a 100% love-hate "relationship/personal-opinion" based question that's hard to answer. I tried telling My friend that and He disagreed with Me for whatever reason(s). I have no idea why...., but like I said, I fully agree with Your comment.

I even told Him a short duration later that this type of direct-unanswerable personal opinion based question can be the same scenario for anything like films, music, IRL topics and many other topics; and then He had agreed with Me that it's not as impossible but still impossible to a certain point, to give a direct answer for something like this 

P.S - I'm liking some of the replies above - Specifically @minibois @Rohith_Kumar_Sp & @Cyberspirit 's replies  And especially Minecraft! (Not Vanilla, I play heavily modded). I also changed My Profile-Pic which now indicates one of many favourite game-series of Mine on My list =3 The new Profile-Pic also applies for the Game-Dev part as well lol C=

The reason why a love-hate relationship with a certain game/franchise is common or even 'logical' is because you as the player of said franchise will have had a lot more time in this game.

The way I see it, is that as a player of the game you notice many intricate details in the game, maybe analyze them a bit too far and you can start to dislike that.

Many people who play Pokemon probably have not used all Pokemon in existence, so why should they care the game is removing some/many/any of them? They maybe don't play it as seriously/as much, so perhaps they prefer a more laid-back/casual/easy game?

Same with Skyrim - people who play it a bit will say it's so deep/interactive, etc. But when you play it a lot you notice it's only pretending to be original or deep on its surface. Once you play the game a lot, you notice all the 'interesting dialogue' is something all NPC's say.

Once you become thane of a hold, slayer of dragons, master wizard, etc. people aren't treating you differently. That is something you will notice after playing the game a lot. The occasional "wow, you look like a werewolf!" may seem very cool if you play it casually - but when you have played it a lot you see this as scripted content.

Same with people who play whatever game (somewhat) competitively will also have certain negative feelings toward it.
People often hear for example YouTubers rant about some game and say "if you don't like it, don't play it!". Not going into the details of what YouTubers should play on their channel for views.. etc. That argument does not hold up.

The feedback towards the game (often layered in a healthy dose of 'hateful speech' towards the game) can be seen as hate, but it's really about wanting the game to be as good as you often feel like it is. The high enjoyment you achieve in 20% of the game, is something you want for the other 80% too.

TL;DR: people can often hate on games because they love (certain aspects of) them and want the game to be fully that. If you play the game a lot more, you will naturally notice details to hate on. That is where the love-hate comes from.

if you right click on the top bar you still get the "re open the last closed tab" 

@Rohith_Kumar_Sp Yeah I noticed that just before I posted this status-update but My point is that, I use that function when right clicking the tab(s) itself/themselves. Having it on a what I would call Blank section of the Browser/Application instead of both is a bit idiotic IMHO. But I mean..., that's just personal preference I guess, but still.

I don't even know why they removed it when right clicking on the tab itself anyways, it just doesn't make sense; nor does the fact that Google doesn't give You say..... a pop-up/something-similar to be like.. "OH HEY USER, WE'VE JUST UPDATED CHROME AND ADDED [X AMOUNT OF FEATURES] AND WE ALSO REMOVED [X AMOUNT OF FEATURES]" like some other Applications/Games do when You launch them. It's just a case of, starting up Your PC, launching Google Chrome as normal and having to find out what changes have been made by Google, by Yourself, the manual way, I guess. Lol.

And Yeah sure, CTRL+SHIFT+T is still a good alternative/keybind-based-shortcut but I just wish they had never removed it.

also if you didn't know the history from the drop down contains that open "12 tabs" feature if you accidentally close chrome, this feature only exists in drop down menu but not in history, meaning if you visit 8 different websites after you open chrome that restore "12tabs" will go away forever.

Not sure. And maybe you'll pick up a newer laptop with DDR4 later on? Worth just hanging on to anyways. Never know what you'll need later on.

Ye maybe, Idk lol. Any idea what they'd be worth if I were to sell them? In GBP or USD?

I would check local classifieds and ebay to get an idea of worth.

Watched it recently as well. Loved it. Now we're watching Breaking Bad again, lol.

@Cyberspirit Look back at some of My previous status-updates  The answer (Specific game) lies within.

Ah sorry, if it happened more than a minute ago then my brain can't remember it.

Minecraft can be pretty resource intensive for sure, especially with mods. Maybe you just need to mess around with the settings or the JVM arguments. 

@Cyberspirit That's pretty much what I am doing currently and am still doing? ..and have been doing for the past week? Lol
