I'm grateful for GoG's manual testing process. But the forums often full of users blaming GoG for treating them as second class citizens for always late at push out updates, without seeing their efforts. Sometimes it's indeed several months later than Steam, like Manor Lords. Sometimes developers do seems to abandon their GoG version altogether, like Hellish Quart. It sometimes feels like a vicious cycle to push users away.
I prefer GoG's UI too, It's simpler and easier to navigate. Steam's main page has become more confusing over the years. It's another reason for me to prefer buying from GoG. The same goes for Steam's client, it's so full of stuff. Sometimes it feels like you have to open a monster to just play a casual game, it somewhat put off your desire to play that mini casual game.
From both, but I prefer GoG. I bought everything I want to keep there. So I can store the installers, and won't have to redownload each time I install on a new system. But Steam has a smoother Linux experience.
That's interesting, because I do that too. Native language for family use, "common tongue" for outsiders and strangers, English when angry or want to be serious. They do feel like three stages of distance. Also, each language has slightly different preferences with slightly different ways of thinking, which leads to you often think different things in different languages. But more often than not, they just end up in a big muddle.
I went back to blacksmithforums.com just now, to my surprise, they changed their software. Now I can't find all the posts that I saved about historical researches...
There are still quite many game developers' forums, but what bothers me a little bit is that sometimes the long living ones periodically lost their past.
I often saw videos of Ravens harass Owls during the day, and occasionally Owls ambush Ravens during the night. Are they saw each other annoying neighbours?
The microSD card is for all the videos and lossless CDs, they are huge... For desktop syncing, I use self-hosted Syncthing too, somehow I didn't use it for my phone...
Went back to parents' place to meet all of their cats. They rescued another kitten from near death, that was a month ago. Now she's partying with the rest of the gang!
I have a Sony Xperia 10 IV. To be honest, I only bought it for the headphone jack and microSD card slot, and struggled a lot between it and an old Fairphone. If not for gaming or taking pictures, it's good enough, I guess. At lease, it's good enough for me.
I degoogled it, striped most of its property apps, and only installed FOSS ones as replacements. It has a good battery life (at lease for me), I only have to charge it twice a week, but I'm not a heavy user. (Only basic social, web browsing, music, some video watching.)
It still receives security updates after three years, which should have stopped sometime ago. Anyway, I think I'll eventually have to get it a new OS.
I've been told this is the less damaging way, but I think it also depends on your hair's thickness. If it can stand the violent rubbing, then you can do that. If all you have left is a few fragile thin hairs, I'd protect them as best as I can...
There are people used to tell me every track by Summoning sounds the same. Many who don't listen to Classical music complained that Classical music sounds the same, be it Vivaldi or Schostakovich. Some suggested I need to change it to a more uplifting playlist (in an Art Gallery). If I played Bach it would be worse. And then some people told me everything I made looked the same. I mostly agree to all the above. It's better to admit defeat and admit that you would never be good enough.
Thank you for your thoughts. It was actually a thoughtful gift, a Monitor Calibrator. At the time, my work was art related. Maybe deep in my mind, I always wanted to put it into some use... Maybe I should dig it up and use it.
