Fair enough.

I’ll have to take a look at GoG anyway… I don’t remember but I heard it’s like an aggregator of some sort too, right? Like, you can access games from your steam account too or something?

Edit: Bruh this is dope.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Edit 2: (replied because I got some error when editing comment a second time…)

Okay nevermind. Thought it was too good to be true… why open with an in-app browser?

ElPussyKangaroo,

Hmm…

I have never used a launcher before (for obvious reasons as mentioned in my post), so I found the idea of a separate launcher dumb in the first place. I have used it in recent times thanks to Epic’s free games. Finished two of the Tomb Raider trilogy.

Like, I’m fine with a store, but I gotta open the launcher to launch the game? On Windows, with the Tile based Start Menu, I kind of thought it was a terrible idea NGL. I gotta open, wait for it to load, open the library, then click to run, THEN it’ll open…

Plus, if I want to track progress, it’s a hassle because I can’t track without the damn launcher…

ElPussyKangaroo,

Hmm…

I’ll be honest, I definitely prefer having everything on one platform for convenience. This is in second place; right after letting me play a game directly from the icon without having to open the damn launcher in the first place.

Also, I am not well educated about the technicalities of Steam or GoG, so all I can say is I’m enjoying the cool factor of GoG combining my accounts in one place. Kinda bummed that Epic’s integration doesn’t have game time and achievement sync… But that’s probably an Epic thing.

Also also, fuck yeah! If it’s free, I’m in 😂.

ElPussyKangaroo,

I guess so… Unless a company is objectively terrible, I guess it does end up being “subjective”.

For example, I like the idea of Linux, but am happy that things work on Windows. And MacOS is too restrictive for my tastes.

Now, surely there are objective reasons for why Linux is better than the others. But the entry point issue for me is that each distro is different, and while I love customisability, I cannot expend energy on setting up my distro at the moment… (Soon.)

Plus, games work on Windows. I do plan to dual boot when I get a better PC, but not yet.

And fuck Apple (subjective, but I don’t wike em). So, yeah 🫡.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Epic doesn’t have the game time sync, but that’s an Epic issue I believe.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Playnite looks interesting.

Does it have support for linking Backloggd accounts or similar such platforms?

ElPussyKangaroo,

Fair enough I guess… I only use Epic for the free games, so I can’t say I’ve spent much time genuinely looking at the user experience 😅.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Definitely a terrible idea.

Using money to jump ahead in the line is a terrible mindset. Provide good features, you’ll get your recognition.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Didn’t know about heroic… Gonna check that out.

Also, wow. You’re the dude that appears in comment sections with well-formatted paragraphs 💯.

Appreciate your service.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Fair points.

ElPussyKangaroo,

100% agreed. Great app!

I’m just waiting for the option to edit posts. That’s it.

ElPussyKangaroo,

No. You can claim it for free for the next 24hrs

This is such a complicated feeling… On one hand, I agree. But on the other, we can’t specifically pinpoint what censorship is valid and what isn’t.

Edit: Obviously, I’m not considering Nazis in this thought experiment.

Edit 2: OH MY GOD PEOPLE! OF FUCKING COURSE WE SHOULD KEEP NAZIS OUT FFS! 😑

ElPussyKangaroo,

Obviously. I’m not considering Nazis in this thought experiment.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Obviously, I’m not considering Nazis in this thought experiment.

ElPussyKangaroo,

It is only censorship when it is the government, else it is normal people not wanting to deal with Nazis.

Makes sense.

If you really want your white supremacists views out there just roll your own setup

sighs I’m not even gonna try to address it now.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Yeah. A baseline is needed for sure. Moderation is definitely necessary.

ElPussyKangaroo,

DuckDuckGo ftw 💯

ElPussyKangaroo,

I had taken a look at Qwant. It’s pretty cool… But I love DDG’s Bang shortcuts. Idk how many engines support those.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Pisses me off that we can’t have nice things for everyone because these fuckers won’t let us live in peace.

ElPussyKangaroo,

Hmm… I hate that I have to ponder over ethics and morality to enjoy a fucking leisure scroll on a platform that I like. Fuck Google. Fuck Meta. Fuck Apple. Fuck these pieces of shit.

ElPussyKangaroo,

One of the only pieces of tech news that make me cry internally.
