That’s just how rich people say they’re too dumb to figure out what makes them happy.

You can do that, but some of the features only work if you launch the game through Galaxy. Cloud saves only work that way. Some games need it for online matchmaking or leaderboards. It handles updates. If you care about achievements or statistics you won’t get any of those without Galaxy.

Just downloading the game from the website is usually good enough for actual old games, but it’s just a second class experience for most newer games. That bothers some people more than others. I’m mostly just annoyed by the principle of the thing, really.

Threads hasn’t had federation enabled until now, but you’ve always been able to interact with Mastodon… sort of. The Lemmy UI doesn’t really have a good way of finding Mastodon posts that don’t tag a Lemmy community or of following Mastodon users, but if they do tag a community the Mastodon post will show up as a Lemmy post in that community.

Heh. If you think I care what they call me you are sorely mistaken. If someone wants to ask real questions and learn something I’ll be happy to answer them. If they just want to spout fascist talking points and side with fascists I’m going to call them fascist. Because they are fascist. There is no point in engaging with them beyond that. You will accomplish nothing.

Sadly there is mountains of evidence that you can’t. Studies consistently show that trying to rationally argue someone out of a belief just makes them even more defensive of it.

Edit: Fixed hilarious typo. Ever fence. Heh.

Wow, that was the longest and most pretentious “nuh-uh” I’ve ever seen. You realize that we are specifically talking about people who support fascists, right? If you think you can rationally talk someone out of any belief, let alone one as irrational as fascism, then I’d love to see you try. It’d be funny.

When someone supports fascist regimes and spouts fascist talking points they are what they are, no matter what they like to call themselves. The Nazis called themselves socialist, too.

Oh wow. The invasive programs given total authority to see and control everything on your computer at the most basic level made by companies famous for their terrible security practices can be used to do things with your computer that you might not want? What a total shock and surprise. Nobody could ever have possibly seen this coming.

I mean, I’m all for giving jobs to humans and all, but isn’t monitoring a bunch of numbers and sending an alert when they go wrong one of the few things computers are actually objectively better at than humans are?

Edit: Holy crap people. I understand that they’re probably not there for that purpose. That was the entire point I was trying to make. You don’t ALL need to point out the obvious to me.

Hey GOG! How about you make an actual Linux client instead of giving me another useless way I can’t play my games? Because unfortunately I live in the third world shithole with abysmal internet known as the United States. Cloud gaming is about as useful to me as a safe to store all the gold I don’t have.
