Oh, I didn't think to check. Figured they were the same. But yeah, looking at it now it looks rather horrible, doesn't it?

Amigo, it's 5 paragraphs and two of those are a quote.

From what I understand, they're wanting what Cisco does on Windows. Programmes hosted on a server that appear on a remote client when run. Problem is, Cisco is also relatively slow and will never run as fast as a programme hosted on the client machine itself. The biggest hurdle is the network speed of the client.

Likely the use of "twas"

Too bad here in North America everyone will scream "communism" if you suggest that. I'm kinda glad the American hegemonic order is crashing down, but its propaganda is still going to have an effect. I think I could turn Western Canada, though. My own province has a surprisingly robust history with cooperative business and labour movements. Just gotta frame it in a patriotic way and market it to the conservative voters in a way they'll understand.

Then you're doing something wrong, simple as. I've completely unsubscribed from GOG emails and it was ez. Literally just in account settings.

As for Cyberpunk, it entered pre-pro in 2016 and released in 2020. https://www.destructoid.com/how-long-was-cyberpunk-2077-in-development/ So really 4 years, so maybe rushed given the scale tbh. If they had released in 2022 it might have been in a better state, so I'll concede there.

"rushed job"

8 years of development

I don't know how CP77 turned out how it did, but it certainly wasn't due to being rushed. Either way, they managed to fix it although it took like 2 years or something.

As for you still getting GOG emails... Git gud?? Unsubscribing from a service's emails is the easiest thing in the world if you take roughly 2 seconds to make sure it's done properly.

I wouldn't call HGL a better UX. It straight up doesn't work for me. When it did, I couldn't get games to install or update and had to DL manually in browser, install into some other Wine prefix, and then manually move the files to an HGL-generated prefix. The UI looks nicer but it's not nearly as straightforward as Galaxy's. It's more like Lutris in its complexity, though I imagine there's no easy way around that.

I've noticed that GOG usually runs their sales after Steam's sales (or maybe before? Either way, they're not in sync) and that it's usually all the same stuff on sale. I don't buy GOG anymore because Linux but back when I was still on Windows I would wait a week and buy from GOG where applicable.

Almost like a system where the only consideration is maximizing profit margins isn't ideal. ://

If I'm ever in politics I'll prioritize cooperatives. Nothing wrong with profit, but it doesn't have to be the only thing a corporation cares about.

Here's my Ashlands base if you're interested.

Hall interior (pre-furniture):

Hall interior (partially furnished; meeds more light sources, other bits and bobs)

Exterior:

Also, the Portal Stone allows you to teleport metals. I usually build temp ones at existing portal locations and just change portal designations if I need to transport metals. One of the best additions to the game, especially since having to navigate back to the Ashlands every time you needed iron or something would be terrrrible.

That's good. I actually built the first thing I was ever properly proud of in the Ashlands (before the roof fell off, anyway) and that was about my only good experience with the patch. Generally, the building and resource gathering in any game isn't interesting to me but grausten is such a cool material to work with. But the combat, exploration, and progression in the Ashlands are plain unpleasant IMO and those are usually the aspects of games that I enjoy most.
