  • I realized a while ago that it’s not actually the physical media I care about; it’s the unfettered access. Physical media is just the easiest way to achieve that. I still buy from steam and pay for streaming, but I recognize that those could be taken away at any time. I want to feel like I actually own something. I buy digital music because I get a DRM-free file. I buy from GOG because I get an installer that I can store locally for as long as I want to.

    When it comes to movies? I have to buy the disc because (almost?) no one offers a DRM-free video file that I can store locally and play whenever or however I want.



  • Ok. I bought the bundle, but I haven’t heard of any of the games. Are there any that are a “must play”, or do I just add them to the backlog?

    Edit: I briefly tried a couple of the in-browser games. What I found was that my French is terrible, and the games need better instructions. I couldn’t do anything in Save the Rioters. Flesh Psychosis is confusing, but might actually be a simple/solid game if I could figure out what I was doing. Macron Dissolution seems to be some sort of political parody quiz game, and I managed to do better than I had any right to do.

    Edit 2: I played a couple levels of “RUN: The World in-between”, and it seems like a solid, responsive platformer. I got Super Meat Boy vibes, but I didn’t play it long enough for it to get too challenging.
