I bought myself a new, shiny, LCD widescreen monitor recently (which isn't all that surprising, since they don't make shit else nowadays); my old 1000-pound fish bowl finally caved in to all the nicotine, coffee spillings, angry smashes and Hulk Hogan-style body slams it was on the receiving end of over a span of five years. Don't look so surprised; as much of an asshole as I am on these forums, I'm far worse in reality.
Anyway, AoC on widescreen sucks. Like "spoiled brat gets a ChupaChup" sucks. Like "annoying baby is fed bottle of milk with generous amounts of gin mixed in" sucks. Alluvasudden, my new monitor's decided to anti-alias everything that stretches to fit 1440x900. You ever see pixel fonts get anti-aliased? Not even Rotten.com can beat that, let alone an episode of "The Simple Life". I've messed around with the monitor settings; what little its menu has to offer is basically a thinly veiled "go **** yourself". Windows isn't very helpful, either, but I've gotten used to that one.
I'd play in windowed mode permanently, but that's not something my PC is really happy with; this particular exemplar still uses small, furry rodents trapped in Wheels of Hairy Death to keep its various bits and bolts powered, and the Alliance of Enslaved Rodents has informed me that they'll sneak up to me when I'm asleep and mutilate my manhood if I try to push the machine any further. Needless to say, this does not sit well with me; shit better be solved soon or I will be without a dick, and people will die.
So, anyone got an idea that doesn't involve a sledgehammer or nuclear missiles? Much obliged.
