This is what I do too. The first thing I do after buying from GoG is to download the installers, both Windows and Linux. So I don’t have to download again and again every time I install. I can carry a copy around and install it on an offline machine too. I also share my games with my family, just like sharing discs in the old time. If some of them like one of the games, they’ll buy it again themselves. If this is not owning games in practice, I don’t know what is.

It feels like the problem with Linux gaming nowadays, is that people expect you to own your games on Steam. Yes, Steam’s support is excellent now. But my GOG games not so smoothly. Is it because of my obscure hardware? Is it my misconfiguration? Or is it me mod my games the wrong way? I’m still trying to figure out a way to mod my GOG Skyrim through MO2.

I still have a machine that runs Windows 10 LTSC. Used to need it to run Adobe softwares, but I get past that now.

Now I need it to run my heavily modded Bethesda games. I can’t get my GOG versions to run through MO2 or NMM even with the help of Steam. I feel really stupid. Heroic Launcher somehow can’t run some Proton supported games on my end, too. My small collection on Steam seems fine, but most of my games are on GOG, I can’t figure out why sometimes Heroic won’t work.

The Fifth Element comes to my mind immediately. It was my happy place.

The Lord of the Rings, It’s what I watch when I felt lost.

Also, Nostalgia, another film I rewatch when I felt not belonging and nowhere to go back to.

Yes, Darktable is great. I use that too.

I gave up on GIMP because of this too. I tried to learn, but learning another completely new software is still better than learning GIMP. For both painting and photo manipulation, Krita feels smoother.

Does mouse tails broke off easily? Years ago our hen killed a rat, it was it’s tail that we found first. The tail was quite thick, it surprised me our hen can break it off.

I encountered these people while playing Divinity Original Sin too. They basically exploited the mechanism, stole everything, abused the chest/telekineses method, then felt good about themselves, look down on everyone who don’t play that way.

I remember every place where I’ve lived in for more than one week. Including their surrounding areas. I like go back there in my mind from time to time, for many of them don’t exist any more.

The problem with brands that offer Plus and larger sizes are usually made for heavier weights, not for high but thinner. Once you abandon Woman’s clothes altogether, the problem goes away. It’s a shame, but buying clothes become so much simpler, and you get functional pockets as a plus too.

My favourite ARPG, and one of my all-time favourite game. The gameplay, the character builds and loots are awesome, I especially like that you can use green Monster Infrequent equipments in the endgame too. But what’s even better are the lores. Every faction exists reasonably, there are no black and white, random NPCs you met on the road who only have a few sentences, make you feel for them too. I think I’ll continue playing it for many years. I’m also looking forward to the new expansion.

I’m holding off to this too. I still want to finish the two Divinity: Original Sins first, yet haven’t been able to do so. Also there are several unfinished Pillars of Eternity saves, haven’t been able to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance, too. There is simply not enough time.😭

As a nonnative, I stuck at 1600. Too many different spellings really gives me trouble…

I, too, am glad that I added two more RAMs when they were cheap. Hopefully if one of them died, I can still have a decent machine in the foreseeable future.

I read it when at school. At the time I thought it was obvious, of course we should have a scientific mindset. Modern societies are built on that, schools are teaching that, also lots of books and abundant educational TV shows that you can watch after school. So I gave the book away. I didn’t know society can regress.

There goes another good studio. RIP.

Masks, frequent handwashing, hand sanitizer, more distance from people than usual, less frequent grocery shopping, stopped going to public places except transportations and hospitals.

I lost my uncle in the early days of Covid, due to hospitals can’t take in any more patients.

Also I fear for the lives of our cats, even though they are all house cats. There were cases pets get killed by fearful residents. I fear the government would cull your pets like they did to the minks.

But on the lucky side, we didn’t find anything lacking in most cases. We already had abundant N90/FFP2 masks and some surgical masks, they were from previous flu seasons and for DIY jobs. We always had a habit of changing clothes once home. Most of the things that were hard to find, we already had spare. Until later there was a food shortage, but that was another story.

I thought my fake mouses can have some privacy. 🧐

Ours were all ended up under the refrigerator…

I’m with you on this. It sometimes feels like those who play multiplayer games have a different schedule.

When WoW Classic launched I tried to play it with a friend. But all they did were raids. Raids at dinner time, raids for four hours straight, raids every day. If I’d play with them, I won’t even have time to make dinner nor have the time to eat, sometimes I wasn’t even home when they begin their raids. It didn’t feel like gaming at all, just another chore. And I was told it was the vast majority of players. I remembered it has good would-building when I played the earliest release back at school, but I didn’t realize most people play it in a mind-numbing way.
