It really is!

• You can find their affiliate link for buying directly from GOG here on their website.
• But also any games bought from within Heroic itself gives the Heroic team a certain small percentage of the sale, directly to support Heroic.

Galaxy is essentially abandoned, sadly.

My friend gave a presentation last year which touched on this at the Ubuntu Summit its called Maxima, and is on the way!

Thank you for reading through! I was really proud of this one, and so grateful to the team that they took the time to take it so seriously.

And I’m so glad you’re back on the world of GOG. By far it is my preferred platform, I own so few games on Steam - but my GOG library is endless :)

Forgive any formatting or typos, this one ended up quite lengthy (and reading over it…length for what reason?!), but as ever - thanks to all for letting me share these kinds of posts with you!

Thank you so much for the follow-up, it’s always nice to have more depth on this kind of thing. Much appreciated!!!

You absolutely should!

Whatever adhesive they used was a pleasant smell.

I know for a fact that they changed it after launch though, those launch models used a certain type, then later on it’s just a different one!

And you’re so welcome, that’s exactly what I love to hear with these, they they make something like that a bit easier!!!

Glad you enjoyed it :)

And don’t forget his alternative to Discord - his Revolt server is here too, which is

Perfect!

Make sure you drop by and say hello!!!

Oh I’d already posted it there also! Up to you if you want to remove it, but I always post to games and SteamDeck on Lemmy!

But thank you :)

I appreciate you even bothering to go to the effort of sharing it around.

Thank you so much :)

How on earth does this lock you in?

Thanks for the tip for those new to this!

I seem to have injured some people, I get the stance on Amazon - no one likes the megacorps. But if you’re subscribed, I can’t see how ‘free’ GOG games are a bad thing to anyone.

Appreciate your comment in here :)

• Sign up for a month for their free trial, use an email mask if you’re so inclined
• Claim the games, which again - you get to keep forever
• Cancel the subscription

Rinse and repeat. Literally the definition of free. And don’t act like I didn’t remind users that this is done via an Amazon Prime subscription, there is no subterfuge here.

I reaaaally tried Lies of P. I have one book I really, really adore called Drood - which is about Dickens and the setting to that beautiful and terrifying book feels pretty close to Lies of P.

But…just like Elden Ring, while I love the setting and atmosphere, the combat is just not for me! I even keep a little notebook with games I’ve played, games I want to play, etc. In that I have written very prominently to not bother trying Elden Ring again (even with mods to make it ‘easy’).

Its funny though how the vast majority of gamers are the opposite, and just can’t get enough!

And thanks! Can’t wait to share them!

I’m so glad you do!

I feel lucky in that I just love writing these, it makes me feel cozy and happy. So I’m so glad you’re enjoying them!!!

PerfectDark, 9 dni temu

Ahhh thank you so much!!!

Exactly what I am going for, since I wasn’t alive for the old blogs and newsletters and old gaming sites. I’m tired of sites begging for Patreon members, and using ads, and its all such a drain.

Thanks for saying so, it makes me so happy seeing anyone read these damn things!

Funny you mention Persona 5!

Its the one game I’m sucked in to on my CFW Switch at the moment!

PerfectDark, 9 dni temu

I’m so glad!!!

It’s SO bright and colorful and pretty, and it really is a lovely combination of genres. I think I got it from GOG, maybe it was redeemed on Epic, but I played it a few months ago and fell head over heels for it. Feels perfect on a handheld, too!

You can always check ProtonDB to get an idea of the settings and experiences Steam Deck users have had! The link is here

I’ll ask Eben for you!

Oh that’s lovely!!!

If you’re interested, I’m also in a fun Revolt server, where you can find me lurking most days too (if you wanna join Linux, FOSS, gaming chats and the like!!!)

You can find a link to a discussion post here on Lemmy about that server, if you wanna read more!

But even if not, I’m so glad you enjoyed this :) :) :)

Oh my gosh, that’s very kind of you!!! I’m just glad you enjoyed it, because I love writing these!

It’s far too kind of you to even refer to this in the same sentence as game journalism :P

I’ve forced everyone I know to watch it, and I just barely hold myself back from constantly re-watching it! I adore how it covers the different eras of computing for the seasons. I wasn’t around for any of them, and I just love getting a glimpse at what it all looked like!

Both imLinguin and Junk-Store’s couple finally gave in to my harassment to watch it - they all loved it. Gosh it’s a perfect show.

If someone’s reading this and hasn’t yet watched, GO AND DO SO!!!

This comes up a little more often than I’d have expected actually!

I’ve had people ask if I’m going to have my own site for these, or perhaps just host it elsewhere to make something like RSS easier. I’m not for now…I like the idea of supporting Lemmy and FOSS in my own small way. I like that my posts, as insignificant in the long run as they are, are just on just Lemmy. If that makes sense anyway.

Also a small (well, maybe sizable) part of me feels quite awful thinking I just spot interesting projects and creations others create and then just write my own thoughts on them and…idk, it’s not my ‘own’ work?

Something along those lines, in any case. Imposter syndrome, I’m sure. Thank you so much though for your thoughtful and sweet comment. I really appreciate it!

Oh my gosh it was not deliberate! So sorry for forgetting a link, that was terrible of me. I’ve edited the site in!

Also, thanks for your work! I love that people like you are so dedicated to making things easier for people - and it is a lovely project!

PerfectDark, 10 dni temu

Oh my God you’ll LOVE it!!!

Let me know what you think of it!

PerfectDark, 10 dni temu

Oh!

Here I was thinking it was an off-brand brand for it!

By memory there’s a community-made app for Revolt as well, but I can’t remember what its called, or the git link! When I find it again, I’ll link it here :)

Luckily I see I’ll be a fancygirl with my Sears options as I look!

Sure! It’s great that there is other options, too. So people have options available to them if they want to explore those.

I’m not promoting this as a end-game solution to everything. It’s not even my server.

I’m just sharing this in case people who enjoy gaming and Linux and the people behind the projects, they might want to join in.

PerfectDark, 12 dni temu

I just use the site, via my browser. And I’ve not had any issues! Though I’ve no idea how well the app performs

PerfectDark, 12 dni temu

I think you need to re-read my post.

• I did not say to dump one for another
• I literally mention Matrix exists
• I say this won’t be for everyone

Another reminder, this is not my server, I just thought this was fun and I’m sharing an alternative. But I’ve tried reading all I can about Revolt, and I can’t see where they say it’s “for profit”. Can you link me to that?

PerfectDark, 11 dni temu

I got distracted when I started inviting people I know into the server, so…there will be more to come!

PerfectDark, 16 dni temu

I’m so happy to see your daughter stealing your Steam Deck (even if you’re not!) and enjoying some fun games. Have you tried Cassette Beasts? She might enjoy that, it’s my fav of the Pokemon clones!

PerfectDark, 16 dni temu

Ohhhhh thanks! I wondered where I’d seen it, it must have been there (I rarely visit reddit now!)

Kinda sad, it makes me feel for the people who try hard to create some buzz and it just collapses like that :(

PerfectDark, 16 dni temu

You’re so very kind to say so :)

I feel very lucky that someone enjoys these, because there’s a definite ‘cozy’ feeling when I sit down to type them up!!!
