Supposedly, 666 being a bad number is a mistranslation, and the actual bad number is 616. This is according to an old episode of QI.

Or you could not believe in evil numbers.

The only real difference is being fairly certain that anything you buy on GOG will be DRM-free, since that is their stated policy and they offer the standalone installers for download. Granted they also offer a launcher like Steam, and if you’re only using that then you’re no better off; if a game gets delisted and you don’t have the installers archived you may be out of luck, depending on the details.

That said you are right, the problem is the laws and the publishers. But getting access to those offline installers certainly doesn’t hurt, in the meantime.

This will almost certainly happen.

There’s no way Unreal is completely free of inherent tech debt. But at the same time, there’s no way it doesn’t have way less baggage than the creation engine. Epic actually work on it, for a start.

I will say it runs quite well on linux. I miss my Tobii 5 but have got a decent standin using an oldish iphone and OpenTrack. My racing pedals needed a small app to work because Proton sees they have no button and disregards them, and everything else just works.

I feel like someone should mention for those who don’t know, this is the Linux User Group’s (LUG) tool to help you set up Star Citizen to run on linux. It’s quite helpful.

Yeah, I would rather wait for the one active checkout rather than have to go through the rigmarole of scanning one item, putting it in the bag, waiting for it to register before doing the next. The employees get to scan multiple things at once and do things like “scanned item x6”. Until self-checkout technology advances to the point I can do the same, it can fuck right off.

They should. They don’t really have a good track record for quality, but the first step is trying.

So this is that mewing thing I’ve heard about, right?

Isn’t this game fucked up right now? Or did they fix it?
