It’s like you’ve never heard of archival or how to keep data safe, protected, or backed up.

Also intentionally missing the valid point when compared to physical items just shoots yourself in the foot for any further arguments.

GOG installer is offline

You download it immediately after purchase, and should archive it somewhere, same as everything else you purchase digitally

how does that work

…

Unless I’m grandfathered in or something (I haven’t heard of any price changes), ND is like $20 a year. Is AG like $5 a year or something? o.O

Using ND for 3y now, have not had your issue with loading. Pixel 8 Pro, graphene. Family is also on Pixels, stock, no issues. All on ND, of course.

But that’s not important right now

Exhibit A:

nfs games up to and including MW 2012

These are solid, enjoyable entries in the series. Peaked with Underground 2 and MW 2005, but the takeover/acquisition of Criterion pumped new life into HP 2010 and MW 2012.

Exhibit B:

nfs games released after MW 2012

These are dogshit. Heavy dlc, meh progression, horrible to play on a keyboard, stupid upgrade systems (cards? cards? are you retarded, EA?), always-online, shitty online servers, horrendous physics, so arcadey that they make actual arcade racing games look desirable.

You’ll note that this game is in the second group.

I got it as a gift a couple weeks ago, they paid $10 for it, which I was holding out for >$5 to buy myself; it’s actually better than the last iteration, but not by much. That game - heat - I thrashed on at launch and 6mo later, and when the premium or whatever edition dropped to like $1.25, I finally bought it (10h demo before) and honestly, I want my $1.25 back. Here, $5 for unbound is about right, near the upper limit.

If they hadn’t killed Criterion (the reboot is in name only, the talent jumped ship with the forced merge), nfs might be awesome still. They have to do a metric fuck-load to save this series. I have almost every game, I’m a massive fan of the series… But for the past decade, it’s fucking dogshit.

It’s okay, it happens to all guys at that age

Superintendent! Uhh, I was just uh stretching my USB cable on the windowsill!

“and I’ll do it again” -cat

gestures to the other 99% of gamers

That’s what I think when I read endurance/mtbf of hard/solid state drives of like 100+ years. Bitch you released this last week and I know for a fact that you didn’t withhold sales for 100 years for validation of your claims. Also funny how I should reasonably expect 100 years out of it, but you will only provide a warranty for the first three…

Yeah! Other publishers should open their own stores and compete!

Oh wait no fuck oh god oh what have we done

Nexus 6P / 5X all the way to Pixel 5 had it.

While I miss the rear scanner, I have had no issues with the under-display type in the 6/7/8. I see people online every time this topic comes up, screaming that it’s awful, but… cannot reproduce, ticket closed.

I’ve said this elsewhere in the thread, but I have had suicidal ideation… ‘events’ as well, never called though. If you want someone to talk to (anyone else, too! yes, that means you, hi!), reach out and message me. I know this shit all too well and I don’t mind in the slightest, talking to someone who needs - or just wants - to communicate with someone who ‘gets it’.

No pressure, I just want to help others like myself.

:( I’ve been in a similar situation, but I’ve never called; I have friends that I can talk to openly about this stuff, and not freak them out or have them be judgemental. I don’t know you, but I hope you are doing better, and can persevere. Life can be awful, brutal. Being alone in a time of need is… I can’t even think of a word with enough emphasis.

If you want, you can send me a message. Might not be helpful, but maybe it will. Just say hi, if you want. You aren’t alone. :)
