Point 1 is always such a killer, isn't it? I still try to get into games with friends and wife whenever possible. It's like any activity, we just try our best to schedule it, and make a commitment to trying to find said schedule when we can.
Considering pretty much all the legally obtained digital download games I have on PC come from Steam, I think it’s safe to assume I’ll just get the game I want from Steam.
Endless Sky. The save game is a text file. Save a file on the mobile app (F-Droid), and on the PC (Flatpak), and note the last line. This is the line you must swap to transfer the save file. It is the first game I have played on both practically. The game mechanics are different between the two and you need to alter your strategy accordingly. On mobile, I travel with a ship setup for boarding pirate vessels and never target enemies directly; all of my guns are automatic turrets. I just use a fast ship and travel with a large group of fighters. It is more of a grind on mobile, but it can be used to build up resources and reserves. The game is much bigger than it first appears to be. You need to either check out a guide or explore very deep into the obscure pockets of the map.
Move to a place that doesn’t care about international copyright violations, make sure local content never gets posted, never cross any borders again in your life.
If you need to ask, you’ll get caught for sure if your torrent websites gains any popularity. Your best way out is to make sure you can’t be punished severely when that happens.
I’ve got to say, Steam’s native Wine/Proton implementation works decently well, and really entices me to buy games without native Linux support on Steam.
Moim zdaniem problem z Lemmy i fedi w ogóle to toporność UI, mało przyjemny UX, a do tego brak discoverabiliry tj sugestii co ludzie tacy jak ja klikają. Prywatność nie zastąpi funkcjonalności, nie dla przeciętnego użytkownika który chce skrolować internety.
Wyszukiwanie zostawiam jednak wyszukiwarkom z odrobiną bardziej zaawansowanych zapytań dla poweruserów
I usually go with Steam because it has all the other tertiary features that may or may not be there for GOG titles. I usually only use GOG if it’s the only way to get a good old game or if that’s the only version that will possibly work on a modern PC. I do not even consider them for brand new games, unless I want to pirate them to demo before buying.
In your case, you just so happened to choose right. Dark Corners of the Earth on Steam has hella issues and the game may not even run. But the GOG version is just fine. I also bought that a while back after watching a review of it and getting nostalgic (since I played it on Xbox back when it was new), and thankfully he had mentioned this or I might have been screwed.
Gog, drm free, just works, and devs get more money.
On the other hand, death to valve and steam. The launcher itself is dogshit bloatware and I do not have a single recent memory of it being remotely pleasant to use. The download and verification speeds are absolutely awful compared to Gog and, in my limited experience, Epic. valve was definitely a pioneer in microtransactions with tf2 and csgo. Locking mods to their storefront is fucking disgusting, as was their attempt to monetize them. There is also negative quality control when it comes to what’s allowed to be sold on steam.
I don’t really. I don’t keep up with AAA games, most of them don’t interest me. There’s a looooot of games out there and only a fraction of them interest me.
I also don’t really watch YouTubers and stuff in general, I find it hard to watch.
Check out Heroic Game Launcher. It works with GoG, handles GoG Galaxy Cloud Save support, and works with Proton (similar to Steam). A very good client.
As someone also using Linux, Steam has an official client, the workshop and is continuously advancing gaming on Linux. While GOG promised a native client years ago they haven’t delivered and Heroic has much fewer features than Steam.
Yeah, heroic is amazing and I really appreciate the amount of work that’s gone into it. It’s still much more convenient to buy direct from Steam and it rewards the company for the efforts to push gaming on Linux forward.
If I was going to do it I would only host the site on tor or i2p. I’d only host magnet links with minimal metadata and aim to have the site work without JavaScript. Maybe a small flask application or something to populate the pages using templates. Very basic, light weight and secure.
I would also release a monthly dump of the site to allow it to survive in the event of a takedown .
This way you have a minimal attack surface , you are protected from legal threats as they dont know where or who is hosting and they dont have a hosting provider to send the notices to.
With regular dumps of the site , taking it down becomes futile as there are copies out there in the wild, that can spring up the next day if needed. Its like a diversified seed bank if you will 😉.
