“rushed job”
8 years of development
I don’t know how CP77 turned out how it did, but it certainly wasn’t due to being rushed. Either way, they managed to fix it although it took like 2 years or something.
As for you still getting GOG emails… Git gud?? Unsubscribing from a service’s emails is the easiest thing in the world if you take roughly 2 seconds to make sure it’s done properly.
I wouldn’t call HGL a better UX. It straight up doesn’t work for me. When it did, I couldn’t get games to install or update and had to DL manually in browser, install into some other Wine prefix, and then manually move the files to an HGL-generated prefix. The UI looks nicer but it’s not nearly as straightforward as Galaxy’s. It’s more like Lutris in its complexity, though I imagine there’s no easy way around that.
I’ve noticed that GOG usually runs their sales after Steam’s sales (or maybe before? Either way, they’re not in sync) and that it’s usually all the same stuff on sale. I don’t buy GOG anymore because Linux but back when I was still on Windows I would wait a week and buy from GOG where applicable.
Almost like a system where the only consideration is maximizing profit margins isn’t ideal. ://
If I’m ever in politics I’ll prioritize cooperatives. Nothing wrong with profit, but it doesn’t have to be the only thing a corporation cares about.
Here’s my Ashlands base if you’re interested.
Hall interior (pre-furniture):
Hall interior (partially furnished; meeds more light sources, other bits and bobs)
Exterior:
Also, the Portal Stone allows you to teleport metals. I usually build temp ones at existing portal locations and just change portal designations if I need to transport metals. One of the best additions to the game, especially since having to navigate back to the Ashlands every time you needed iron or something would be terrrrible.
That’s good. I actually built the first thing I was ever properly proud of in the Ashlands (before the roof fell off, anyway) and that was about my only good experience with the patch. Generally, the building and resource gathering in any game isn’t interesting to me but grausten is such a cool material to work with. But the combat, exploration, and progression in the Ashlands are plain unpleasant IMO and those are usually the aspects of games that I enjoy most.
I sincerely tried ngl. I managed to get through the Mistlands even though most of it just wasn’t fun to me. Then I managed to get to the Ashlands, did my first stronghold raid and… I wasn’t having fun at all. Maybe it’s better with friends (how I initially played the game), but all of mine are busy.
Also, concerning the quotation: Isn’t that always how AMD has functioned? Release a card that on paper should perform well but in reality takes a year to mature due to ongoing driver development?
A graphics card that old isn’t really useful for modern applications (not even AV streaming since it doesn’t support modern codecs and therefore would be slow). So I’d have no use for it myself.
I imagine they make convert boxes. Could output the DP to one and then input that to the TV. But I’m still running a 720p Emerson TV so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.

I’ve never tried Bottles before. Does it differ meaningfully from winetricks/protontricks? That’s what I normally use to manage wine prefixes. Never managed to get GOG working with winetricks tho.
Rocket Robin Hood vibe
I mean, Heroic straight up doesn’t work for me and I have no idea why. I’ve resorted to launching GOG through Steam and then installing and launching games through that. But it’s mega cursed so I might give this a go.
I can appreciate that. And I do the same, though likely in a different way. Being open and nonjudgmental encourages others to be so, opening the path to change. Peace and understanding, all that hippy stuff.
But in the case of snitties, I must take a hardline stance. Snake people are reptiles and so have no need for snitties. Their many young consume eachother and only the strongest survive.
If I might ask, what do you think is the correct way to fight bigotry?
While I should do that, it’s so much more entertaining to screw with them :P
Here’s my opinion: You say the N word, even as a joke, that’s on you. And it’ll stick to you like shit on a stick. But it’s on me to give people the benefit of the doubt and think charitably of others. I’m not gonna write a person off because they said a slur. I believe people can change and want to see that change in the world. If I didn’t then there wouldn’t be any incentive for others to change. Fighting bigotry is about building bridges, not tearing them down.
Then you’re doing something wrong, simple as. I’ve completely unsubscribed from GOG emails and it was ez. Literally just in account settings.
As for Cyberpunk, it entered pre-pro in 2016 and released in 2020. https://www.destructoid.com/how-long-was-cyberpunk-2077-in-development/ So really 4 years, so maybe rushed given the scale tbh. If they had released in 2022 it might have been in a better state, so I’ll concede there.
