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.

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.

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.😭

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.

Maybe, perhaps, she is an only child? Just some thoughts, when I was older I had penpals, for face to face interactions with people can be demanding and energy-consuming, but even a very introvert child did have social needs. So hidden behind an envelope, contact on my own term, seems to me like a good middle ground. I can also ignore them when I didn’t want to reply. I quite enjoyed the level of control that I had. But that was when I learned to write, and it’s not social media. The thought is, maybe there are some indirect ways that she can make friends.

The childhood me would stay at home all day, to the point adults gave me nicknames. I don’t know about your child, but when I was five, I enjoyed fiddle with/take apart things, watch insects or watch nature in general, and hiding in a corner imaging a world.

This reminds me of my childhood, where adults always tried to push you to social more. For them, a little child only wants to do things on their own has a problem. This need to be fixed. They always remind you of that.

For me, at kindergarten, I didn’t have a problem for playing alone. Annoying kids didn’t trouble me. It was the teachers that gave me trouble, for they always wanted to push me to social with others, even though I had a friend, for them that’s not enough. Sometimes I didn’t want to go there, because the first thing they wanted you to do, was to team with other children.

Late until school, I finally realized that it was those adults that wanted you to be sunshine and outgoing, to always expressing and talking, to smile more, to have lots of friends, otherwise you have a problem, are the ones who didn’t understand what introverts are. I’m not even autistic.

This, and adults can enjoy it too.

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’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.

It’s a nice show, I enjoyed it too. And I surprised the trio appeared as a household while playing the Sims 3.

I was just graduated, and very depressed. Found my first job, but got fired because of frequent mental breakdowns. I was on medicines that I can’t afford. Overall in poor health. But after failing some attempts in college, I generally abandoned the suicide plans during that time. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 18 years too, happy birthday to you.

Yes, it collects all the replies in one post, if the OP’s been cross posted to different communities, and it only shows the post title once, so it doesn’t overcrowd your feed. You can submit to communities to create your home feed like Lemmy, or there are Feeds that you can subscribe or create to your own liking, or there are Topics of collected similar communities, for easier browsing too. It has a more complicated structure than Lemmy, but I think it’s worth it.

Is this the right place to discuss PieFed? I think PieFed did the cross posting and fragmented communities problem nicely. You can create your own feed too.
