If you want to own your games, buy them on GOG.

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmy v0.19.4 Release - Image Proxying and Federation improvementsEnglish

How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•GOG is going to start deleting oversized cloud saves at the end of August
4·2 years agoIt’s easier to make small saves for games like The Pedestrian, because essentially all you have to track is which puzzles you’ve solved.
Whereas in an RPG with a persistent world like Cyberpunk or Skyrim, you have to save the state of every single object and mechanic the player has interacted with during their run, and there are usually a whole lot of those.
The fact that this is the top comment sends a funny message about the Lemmy community as a whole.

19·2 years agoCan you please not editorialize the post title when you make the video your post link?
Federated?
You’re just throwing together FOSS buzzwords at this point.
A sample size of 1 isn’t really meaningful.
Also, this post is refuting a claim that isn’t really being made? At least not literally.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•Government Response - Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state
12·2 years agoWith GOG, you can at least have full confidence that the game will continue to work without any outside connections.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•Government Response - Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state
47·2 years agoI didn’t say they deserve no protection at all. You are twisting my words because my opinion doesn’t align with yours.
I advocate for games having a clear indicator for any online dependencies. I do not advocate for outlawing said dependencies or mandating “offline patches”.
If you are clearly told that you’re buying an ephemeral product and you are still surprised when it shuts down, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•Government Response - Petition: Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state
410·2 years agoThis basically boils down to “read the terms & conditions”, which isn’t unreasonable.
If a game states in its terms that access may be revoked at any time and you buy the game, then you have no reason to be surprised when access is eventually revoked.
Obviously when terms aren’t clear enough or intentionally obfuscated, that’s indeed an issue for legislation to act upon.
All this wouldn’t be necessary if gamers would just stop buying games that are obviously live services with remote kill switches.

Web Development@programming.dev•Tailwind vs. normal CSS - performance and size
42·2 years agoPlease just use the original title. Semantic CSS is an actual thing and it takes 2 seconds to google what it is.
I’m confused. I opened the first 6 issues featured in your lemmy-ui link and you closed them all yourself?

5·2 years agoSince both services store your notes as markdown files on your disk, you can just move your files over. When spinning up a docker container, you likely defined a path for your SilverBullet space. If not, try creating a note and see if you can find it on your disk.
According to PCGamingWiki, the game does have Steam DRM. It was available DRM-free on GOG.
