@hazelnot@sunbeam.cityIt's so weird when I look up a thing and see a thread where one of the first replies is the simplest and most elegant solution that achieves the desired result perfectly... and then the thread continues and people start posting objectively worse solutions involving extra steps and software and then other people start posting asking for help with the convoluted methods instead of just going for the good one 
Especially when the good one is already marked as the solution
Anyway I'm talking about the Steam forums here, not some super techy stuff lol, I kinda made it sound like some programmer nonsense but it's just about getting old games to run better
Like, to get Tiberian Sun running in widescreen you could either edit one .ini file to add your desired resolution... or use Flawless Widescreen or dgVoodoo2 to upscale the game to cover your entire screen, achieving practically nothing while also getting confused and having to ask for help because you're trying to use software made for handling 3D games to get a 2D game that natively supports any resolution you give it at any aspect ratio to support a wide-screen resolution
Anyway, in case anyone seeing this thread doesn't know about it, the PCGamingWiki (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com) is a lifesaver when it comes to running old games on modern PCs, as well as tweaking modern games in various ways
It's not perfect, but it's the most universal and comprehensive resource for this stuff there is, I use it so much cause I mostly play old games lol
@hazelnot yeah that sounded exactly like stackoverflow. Although on there I tend to look for other solutions if a thread is very old, since sometimes people post better solutions that "aren't possible yet" (especially for JS)
