Quoting: KorhakaI had the hardware survey just now. I have 1 SSD and 3 HDDs and it marked them all as SSDs. Other than that it got everything correct. Seems odd that there is no way to flag that it detected something incorrectly.

Got the survey yesterday for the first time in many, many years and it registered my HDD as an SSD as well, along with my four SSD/M2s.

Anyone use this? How does it compare to managing GOG games through Lutris?

I'm leaning more into GOG so would like to get opinions on the best way to deal with it

I had The Thing game back then but never really got into it. I don't know why. Brilliant film though.

I rarely buy any new games (apart from Super Video Golf, check it out) simply because of my backlog but this is a must buy - brilliant dev and just amazing gameplay! Bring it on

Played these games years ago through Wine and loved them. No clue about the lore/culture either, then or now. I imagine this one will be a struggle for my RX6600!

A single player game should require no internet connection to play single player. It's that simple.

Garry's Mod forced to remove Nintendo content after takedowns

Quoting: Pengling
Quoting: fabertaweI don't get it... are Nintendo selling official Nintendo workshop content for Garry's Mod and the unofficial stuff is biting into their margins?

The only outcome from this is negativity toward Nintendo.
I assume they figure that doing this will somehow make people want to buy their hardware and go to see their movies, even though they offer nothing like that.

Yep, very odd thought process. The only wave they'll be riding at this rate is a tsunami of resentment!
