- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 week ago:
I am mostly attracted by their art direction in sci-fi and lovecraftian titles.
Having names such as Beksinski and Lem in their culture I feel plays a huge role.
Also, look at Polish movie posters. They had real pop avant-garde as late as the 1980s.

Cloud saves are experimental on Heroic but in my experience they mostly work.
Achievements are something I never gave a shit about, but I think they should be working with the same upload.

I use Heroic Games Launcher and have no reason to complain.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 week ago:
Last year I played 56 Polish games on Steam.
This year I switched to Linux and to playing on GoG (a Polish company) exclusively.
Now this acquisition, still by a Pole, happens and it only sounds good to me.
One more round of Zubrowka for everyone!
- Comment on Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage 2 weeks ago:
I loved the game.
I understand the use that was made did not in the least affect the final product.
I don’t think they should have a disclaimer on Steam.
I think they screwed up big time if the indie game awards rules could have been interpreted as requiring no use of AI at any stage in production.
Also, I dont really understand the point of saying it afterwards and I fear that may in itself mean that they are promoting the use of AI in game dev.
What I think is very good is that people are (over?)reacting like this: I would like to have devs perceiving the use of AI as fucking poison.

Calibre is a program for Windows/Linux. To be able to export books (and deDRM them) there are different plugins, but I never heard about one for Google Play Books.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 3 weeks ago:
Cannot say. I had a very old Kindle and all my books on device.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 3 weeks ago:
I deleted my Amazon account last month. No more Goodreads and IMDb is just another plus.
Extracted my ebooks from my Kindle with Calibre, so I am fine.
Feeling good and less targeted and bombarded.

I tried a game that came free with my GOG account years ago, MagRunner.
Overpopulation, huge zaibatsu that is into digitizing people and they develop an incredible new technology in space: MagTech! Magnetic technology!
I guess the devs were being tongue-in-cheek at the time, but now it’s not funny anymore.
Terrible Portal wanna-be, by the way.

Why, is it bad?
- Comment on When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? 2 months ago:
I really want to try it, also because I am studying French and it has full voice over. Problem is, I never managed to play JRPGs, so I am afraid I would be throwing money away.

I think whoever designed the ads in CP2077 deserves a special prize.

Ahahah, that’s amazing even in video!

That’s why I specified moments designed to be funny.
- Comment on When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? 2 months ago:
That’s exactly why I was so surprised by Dispatch! It has stuff at the same level of Sam & Max: Hit the Road whose the next door shop from the office I will never forget: “Bosco’s Guns, Liquors, Baby Needs”

Came here to say this!
I am not into crafting or upgrading at all, but the story, quests and simple but cool-looking combat kept me on it more than I am willing to admit.

- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 2 months ago:
I just went to school in Italy.
This should tell you how guilty of fascism is everyone in Italy who even just entertains the idea to reproduce completely or in part laws similar to the ones of the guy.
L’unico fascista buono è il fascista morto.

I didn’t read your “powerful” as an adjective qualifying the fascists, but as one qualifying the countries susceptible to see the rise of fascism, and in the case of Italy, both are wrong.
Also, just like the Danish government nowadays, Mussolini came from a Leftist background and later started applying authoritarian and later totalitarian policies and measures.

You called 1920s Italy “powerful”?! As an Italian…let’s say I remain baffled.

Want to go check how much what you described overlaps with the religious electorate?
I’ll wait here.
- Comment on President Trump suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for Joe Biden over his cancer diagnosis 3 months ago:
You can put all religious people in the same basket.
People who compromise on logic to create a made up coalition of people with arbitrary rules to contrast other such people or, you know, humanity at large.

Of course, I am not asserting any superiority. I am just a buy one-play one, indie-loving guy.
What mostly stops me from buying titles I don’t play directly is going through the list of all the other things I may need/want to buy with the same money.
Regarding the most, category/publisher sales are back-to-back in between the seasonal ones, so yes, I think they are most of them.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 months ago:
I will save your nick in a list.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 months ago:
To me, it is. Just shy to share something definitely only half-done, when it is my first ever programming project.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 months ago:
I am trying to give it a publicly acceptable form in Streamlit before sharing it. Bare with me, it is my first ever programming endeavour and I remained without a mentor half-way into it.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 months ago:
On Steam there are category sales much more often (right now TPS Fest).
I buy at historical lows via Isthereanydeal any time of the year anyway.
And just like weight and fashion changes for shirts, I may change my schedule and interests not to fit games I bought years ago.
- Comment on Infinite Backlog | A Video Game Collection Tracker 4 months ago:
I have only 200something titles across my GOG and Steam libraries and I have played all of them and finished 90% at least.
I may be from another generation (I am in my 40s), but I don’t get the point of spending money on a title I don’t know if I will have ever time or interest to play.
Also, this feeds stale mechanics, since most titles are bought in bulk during sales that are usually centered around game categories.
I built a small python app to use howlongtobeat, steam data and isthereanydeal to select the best next title for me to play in terms of price per hour and (steamdb-style) rating.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
In Italy, in our Humanist association we used “credini” for all religious people.
“Cretini” means “idiots” (originally “affected by cretinism”, the developmental syndrome caused by iodine deficit during pregnancy).
“Credere” is the verb meaning “to believe”.
So it could be read as “believing idiots”.
Always loved it and have been trying to replicate it somehow in English ever since.
