Good grief, the problems programmers will invent for themselves.
The outer object is being strong-marshaled but the inner object is only normal-marshaled. That explains why we are seeing a double-release of the inner object: The RoGetAgileReference function strong-marshaled the object, which means that it is going to call both UnmarshalInterface and ReleaseMarshalData. However, the CWidget was normal-marshaled, which means that it expected to receive either UnmarshalInterface or ReleaseMarshalData, but not both. If you call both, then the marshal data gets double-destroyed, and that’s where the double-release is coming from.
A social network where readers are required to reply to each post before scrolling to the next, and you're required to read all replies before making your next post. It sounds pretty terrible, but I imagine people would pretty quickly follow and post with focus and intention.
"After running out of lives, the player is not allowed to continue up to five times before the game is entirely over." Okay, so can you continue after the sixth time you run out of lives?
I think if I were a real man, I'd take pride in owning a functioning muffler, but who knows.
Heh, "amazing" underwater heat wave shader effect, except it doesn't apply to transparent objects. So everything is wobbly but the windows are all perfectly rigid.
Bank changed the number on the credit card I use for newspaper subscriptions, so looks like there's going to be some serious cuts in the media budget.

I had the genius idea to write an SMP 6502 emulator, but it's kinda pointless since there's no software and nobody is going to write any, and also pretty high on the difficulty scale since you'd have to simulate clock cycles to get reasonable results.

@lain lolwut, do they not realize there are Canadian baseball and basketball teams in the MLB and NBA? Why would they be ejected?

Experienced a fleeting moment of self doubt after dying to the bomb torizo, but turns out the d-pad on this controller is absolute jank. Unshakeable confidence restored.

@meena dig through enough forum posts, you can sometimes find somebody with a clue. Usually downvoted at the bottom.

Spoiler alert, drivers were not the problem. Basically the game does this at start up: After you've run the game and created a settings file, it works. When there's a new install, there's no settings for either option, and no context created. How this ever worked, or whether it was somehow broken in a later update, remains a bit of a mystery, but that's how it is.
if (fullscreen)
context = createFullScreen();
if (windowed)
context = createWindowed();
if (!context)
dieHorribly();
My favorite part about running a ten year old game is getting "can't initialize D3D" error messages, and then have the internet explain, "bro, you need to update your drivers. That's how the game talks to the GPU. Few understand this." Yeah, bro, my week old drivers are too old to run a ten year game. I'm sure you've nailed the problem.

TIL people watched The Boys and thought Homelander was the good guy.
My US edition Super Metroid ROM has German subtitles. Seems legit.
