  • I really wanted to love rain world since it seemed right up my alley. I bounced off it not because of the difficulty, but I think because the character's movement feels bad. You're slow, can't jump high, a lot of maneuvering is fiddly.

    Maybe I'll try it again at some point though, because the world they made is brilliant and has interesting emergent behaviors.

  • That is a cool feature, and I do use it though in a different way. I made an alt account that I buy vr games on so that I can share them with friends. That way if a friend is playing one of my vr games through family share, it won't lock up all the games in my main account.

    In the example you're talking about, say your SO is playing a game shared from your account - it locks up all the games in both accounts! Pretty annoying if you want to play a game, now.

    But if it's a gog game, there's no issue at all.

  • I do know about that, but I want it to be as easy as clicking on a game to play it without worrying about toggling the mode. I know I could make a separate account for her too, but we share machines and again that becomes a barrier when wanting to just click a game to play it.

    In this niche case, gog is just plain better.

  • I really like steam for its friends network and local streaming, but these are the reasons I occasionally buy on gog:

    Games that my wife likes to play so that they don't tie up my steam account. I still find it weird that ALL games in steam get locked down when one is running. I understand it keeping the same game from being run more than once simultaneously, but more than that is unnecessary.

    I also buy games on gog (when available) that I mod a lot, because it's really easy to stop updates on gog (updates often break mods).

  • It's understandable to be confused by it, I'm not sure why it makes you angry.

    Even if you're familiar with the idea that some portion of the population is hierarchy/authoritarian prone, it makes you ask why. Then the answer just takes you one step deeper - that they like to see others suffer. Why? Because it makes them feel like they have it better than someone else, and that feels good. Well why does that make them feel good? Etc.

    When you drill down enough you always get to "that's just the way it is", which isn't satisfying.

  • I just let go of my 16 year old cat this week. I resolved I would do it if he started hiding (cats do that when suffering) or once I was sure he would only get worse. He never did start hiding, but he stopped eating and got so weak that he had trouble getting himself up.

    It was tempting to wait and have as much time as I could with him, but I also very much did not want him to die at a vet (though that was plan b if he took a bad turn). I scheduled at-home euthanasia, and it was very odd to have an exact clock on my best friend. I cried so much in the days before and after. But I do feel it was the right decision - he died peacefully with his family around him.

    To me, love is simply wanting to be in the presence of another. And true love is to be willing to give even that up if it's in their best interest.
