GOG or STEAM? how do you choose?

With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose...

lemmyng,

GOG for offline games, Steam games that are online multiplayer or can benefit from cloud saves.

lemmyng,

Noita, Slay the Spire, Children of Morta, Brotato…

lemmyng,

For me what made a huge difference was adding acid, specially for stews. A hearty splash of vinegar or soy sauce while stewing, or even a dash of lime just before serving takes it from “meh” to “seconds please!”.

lemmyng,

Time to piss off both camps an start calling it f5x.

lemmyng,

There was a period when game music had some really memorable metal. Another one that always stuck with me was the Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries soundtrack.

lemmyng,

Looks like an old one too, based on the ashtrays in the armrests and the “stereo” headphone plugs.

lemmyng,

Square gigs.

Donwside to 2: Your VM becomes harder to move between hardware, you lose snapshotting capabilities from a copy-on-write image.

5 is flexible, but has limitations. For example you wouldn’t want to run databases on NFS volumes.

If initialization time is the only problem with 4, you could create several smaller images on the disk. Create the first one, initialize the VM and set up an LVM volume on it, then start creating more volumes and extend the LVM volume.

lemmyng,

Top three: Frying onions in butter, baking bread, tearing into a nice orange.

lemmyng,

I don’t trust them to pick good produce for me.

lemmyng,

What REALLY irks me is that the gboard keyboard on Android is context-sensitive. No, I don’t want to have a shortcut for “.com” when long-pressing the period key while typing an address, I want to type a fscking dash!

lemmyng,

Also missing the Doctor.

lemmyng,

Betteridge’s law of news headlines strikes again!

lemmyng,

Retaliate with Pakleds!

lemmyng,

No. What’s terrifying and dystopian is that the industry has been turning a blind eye to abusive behavior for so long that deplatforming becomes necessary.

lemmyng,

Guess I’ll die

lemmyng,

I’ve had acquaintances waste away trying to delay cancer death. Hospice is not fun, so I’d rather go out on my own terms.

Plus, any kind of money making scheme I’d think of is likely going to end up like the “aim for the bushes” scene in The Other Guys.

    Perhaps this will change your prospects.

    lemmyng,

    If you frequently work on remote systems you frequently only get command line access, where you can still use vim/nano/emacs but not a full IDE like VS Code. In that case you might find it more convenient to learn one text editor well and forgo the IDE.

    lemmyng,

    There’s a long list of caveats when running VS Code over SSH. By comparison, text editors:

    • Work on Alpine remotes
    • Work on older distributions, and other *NIX systems
    • Have no problems with SSH key passphrases or security keys
    • Only require a few MB of memory
    • When run in tmux are largely resilient to SSH connection issues
    lemmyng,

    The author of the site works for Brave. The results need to be taken with a grain of salt. Is is more private than Chrome? Absolutely. Is it the best browser for privacy? Ehhh…

    lemmyng,

    I cannot unhear Fishmaster.

    lemmyng,

    My favorite example is this one, because it’s a faithful translation of the meaning of the song while substituting words to keep the rhymes.
