error 404

I thought the small indie devs were mostly on itch?

I’ll be that guy and say that I do prefer buying from GOG, going as far as paying more money in doing so, so the issue isn’t really ‘friction’ but ‘mfs don’t bother offering on GOG’.

My hate for drm has only grown over the last two decades, and so I’ll get stuff wherever I can that isn’t plastered with it. But it’s not even a rounding error in comparing the number of games available of steam vs GOG. You’d have to go so far out with zeros that you fall off the page before encountering a positive value (0.00000[…]00001%). Which is upsetting and frustrating, since the other option is steam or piracy. And I do like rewarding developers for their work, so that leaves one option basically all the time.

Carefully observe how the above argument lacks any supporting argument or information.

Curious.

As an introvert, I hate physical games. Unless I know everyone participating, and I don’t, nope nope nope nope. And if I do know everyone, then why are we playing board games and not halo or something?

Also, ime streamers prefer VRC or coop games where everyone streams simultaneously for different perspectives, and the environment or game they are participating in is extremely easy to understand and follow.

Chef: “alright, we got another wise guy, who here has a turd brewing in the tube? here you go, you know what to do. put a birthday sparkler in it when it’s ready, tell em that part is complements of the kitchen.”

While it’s rarely by default (I actually don’t know any that do by default but), it is usually a simple checkbox during the installation. And a provided password, of course.

Sounds like a skill issue

No NA sales :(

Well, I kind of know what happened in that scenario… because it did. Until Pay, there was Wallet. The original Wallet, not the current one. Wallet had a physical and virtual prepaid debit card, that you would load up and manage in the app. I used it a few times (new tech woo), and distinctively remember ordering at a McDonald’s, the clerk announced the cost, I held my Nexus 7 to the new nfc pad, they started to say ‘uhh no you have to-’ and then a success beep, and their jaw dropped. They thought it was nuts, I told them in a few years ‘this will be everywhere’.

So before Pay, there was Wallet, and it’s own little sandbox of testing if anyone would use this. A couple years later the Wallet card discontinued, and Pay took its place.

That’s kind of a double edged sword though. Android got a foothold because a small scrappy unknown company in silicon valley brought them into the fold…

Aaaaaaany day now… guys…?

(I have a pinephone and no, it is absolutely nowhere near ready)

That is more the fault/worry of the financial sector and not G. The fact that they gave up this amount of leeway is shocking. Their risk tolerance is very low and giving G the ability to manage virtual cards and allow payments with them is huge in itself.

Even Privacy, which does part of the same thing/idea, still only works for some cards, doesn’t work at all for credit cards (last time I checked), and has been in the sector for a similar amount of time.

G had to lock down Pay to appease the financial sector’s risk management. Anything else was DOA.

Yeah, the only people I let hold my devices out of my sight are the ones I’m banging. And even then I still need to unlock the device for them to use it.

I’m not letting Sarah at Starbucks explore my phone files and apps, lol.

I know, but they wouldn’t let me drive it. It’s just like gta, just gotta go full power. We would have been there by now if I was in charge…

Well if modern travel wouldn’t be so upset with the whole “why did you murder them” response of “they were fucking annoying”, it would improve things drastically.

I just opened the door and tossed them out of it. They wouldn’t shut up about wanting the flight to end, and being back on the ground as fast as possible…

Now that baby in 16E…

Uhh, hello, I’m right here. Please, no flash photography.

They aren’t "i"s, they are clearly "o"s

‘you guys are paying for subscriptions?’

There is a Debian-based version available

(yes I know Ubuntu is also based on Debian but LMDE removes the Ubu middle-man)
