Yeah that’s a fair assessment

Does it?

I’m guessing their business model is base game free, make money from add-ons

Thanks!

I’ve been posting the games they give away for free for two years now and I’d never even considered that they actually sell digital games too

Sounds like the phenomenon is you being the luckiest bastard under the sun!

I can currently hold down a key (del or f12?) when powering on to choose between the Linux disk and the Windows disk, that’s my current dual-boot setup. I also installed each one with the other disk disconnected. I remember the Windows update rebooting into Linux unless I interrupted it too.

You say Windows was on a separate drive, but then you talk about dual booting. Do you mean that Windows was on another partition on a shared drive, or do you have two separate hard drives?

I assumed dual booting just means having multiple OSs installed, does it specifically mean having them on the same disk? I have separate disks, so hopefully no need for partitioning shenanigans.

What problem are you trying to solve?

Partly redundancy, if I mess up one then I’ve still got the other; partly for supporting people, I’ve set up non-techies on both and I want to be able to load up the same system myself when I need to help them.

You’re right, I’ll sleep on a big pile of possibly-broken cables like a dragon

Maybe I meant unauthenticated. What is this, mandatory cybersecurity education!?

I am annoyed by (but respect) APIs that take it a level further and don’t even give you a 403 to say you’re unauthorised, they just give you a 404 because anything else would acknowledge that the resource you requested actually existed

True, I really should label which ones are actually good. Well, really I could just chuck the bad ones!

I’ve got about 5 USB-C cables but I must have accumulated about 50 micro-USBs over the years!

My little community is all grown up and being shared by other people ❤️

Yeah same, I’ve claimed hundreds of games on there (and even played a few of them!) without ever registering a payment method or even anything more than an email address

Was Genghis already a big dog at this point and the Khwarazmian leader just too full of themself to see who they were picking a fight with, or was this the beginning of the Mongols doing their thing?

I only noticed because i was scrolling looking for the description

As far as ways to advertise your new game go, I’m very on board with “give the old game away for free”

You posted in a meme community and filled your comments with emoji, I don’t imagine anyone thought you were being serious
