Yeah, one of the reasons I'm okay with Steam's DRM is because I know I can remove it and still play most of them (single player, at least).
On an unrelated sidenote I noticed video games don’t feel fun anymore.
Various reasons for that. It's probably a mix of you and the games. I notice that I have a hard time staying interested in most modern games and wonder if I'm just starting to not like them any more, but then a game will come along that grabs my attention.
As a Gen Xer, I learned how it worked mostly from trying to get games to run and later, from modding and pirating them. These turned out to be extremely useful skills for someone like me that doesn't have $80 to blow on a single game.
I mean, he wasn't running anywhere else, so yeah. I do worry about other places, because while the US plunged head-first into fascism, far-right politicians are also gaining power all over the world. Just take care not to become like us!
I was told about a session where a character was trapped in a room with a bunch of enemies right outside the door. He told the DM he wanted to open the door and cast fireball. The DM asked if he really wanted to do that and warned it might not be a good idea, but he insisted. So the DM said the resulting explosion killed the enemies and the character's head went rolling down the hall. Always read your spell descriptions!
(Your Steam games all live in a folder called “steamapps” — when was the last time you clicked on that?)
A few days ago, because I'm constantly tinkering with them to add mods, remove unskippable opening movies, etc. Video games are undeniably why I know what I do about directory structures and the like.
I actually missed the part that we killed them off. "Heh heh, look at the funny-faced little goats. Let's kill 'em!" Jerks.
