I’ve actually been “maintaining” my Dad’s GOG account since he died some years ago. Anytime there’s a giveaway I log into both our accounts and download, one for me, one for him. No point to it really, just out of remembrance, though I’ll probably hand it off to one of my kids at some point.
Friend invite? Guess I’ll never get an invite then.
Yeah, that was another spot I went through too. Under the seats, took everything out one by one, emptied out the trunk and got down to the spare tire. Found out that mice were apparently living in or had lived in my car, but sadly no Steam Deck :(
Only one is old enough to have friends in that range that they might be stealing stuff without their own parents seeing them with a new handheld console. They don’t normally have friends over without me knowing though, and nobody was over around the time it disappeared. Anything seems possible and I can suspect anyone, but that one seems to have a lower possibility.
That’s what I thought too, I was like, “Maybe I hid it from myself and I hid it too good,” but I checked through all the usual hiding spots and unusual spots. Maybe it will show up again years from now in some stupid place like taped to the inside a toilet tank or something dumb, but I went through every room as methodically as possible and checked/re-checked anywhere I might’ve hidden it from myself. I’m so annoyed.
I feel you, mine got lost/stolen about 6+ months ago, seemingly just inside my house, since I never take it anywhere. I’m not a hoarder, keep a relatively tidy house, though I have kids (so tidiness is only ever temporary). I turned over and looked through literally every room in the house, every cupboard, shelf, drawer, and piece of furniture was checked and re-checked and still, nothing. I only just got over it a few weeks ago and broke down and got another one, but this time got an AirTag for it. I’m just more annoyed at the not knowing part, hopefully it’ll just turn up in some stupidly ridiculous place that it hadn’t occurred for me to look, but I suspect I won’t see it again. I doubt it was stolen, since that’s seemingly the only thing gone. Potentially one of the kids broke it and, rather than tell me, they trashed it, but that doesn’t seem like them either or one of them would’ve broken ranks and confessed.
It drove me insane trying to find it before and it still bothers me, but at least I have a Steam Deck again.
The real creeps don’t do it for the points, we do it for love of the game.
I have encountered this issue before when I tried using Obsidian my RPG pdf collection (10,000s of files), would not recommend. I do still like Obsidian and will keep using it, but would something like Trillium work as a sort of PDF library software for a massive amount of files like that? The main need is to be able sort/categorize game systems using tags, link to pdfs, and maybe have some sort of Dataview-esque query capabilities. Zotero is the least worst option, but it still has some annoyances for me and I’ve still been looking for something that could help me organize better. I know this is billed as a note-taking app, so it’s a weird use-case, but Obsidian was pretty close to being a decent solution, if not for the slow speed issues.
It’s kind of insane the amount of work people will do for free, just for the hell of it. I mean, just thinking of my own small world of tabletop RPG gaming and the number of people GMing and writing up stuff that they just give out for free is kind of heartwarming. It’s this weird drive to create and make storytelling worlds that other people can get lost in. I’ve worked on projects like that before and put shit tons of time and effort into them, not even considering that anybody might ever want to give me money for them (though likely it probably wouldn’t even be legal in this case without working directly with Bethesda and getting into licensing and such). Sometimes it’s just fulfilling to get lost working on a project that you love.
There’s so many games that I picked up that I’d played through/completed in my childhood, but they’ll likely forever show as unplayed in my Steam library. I’ve been slowly going back through my Steam library chronologically though, to try to at least reduce my unplayed games amount, and also to at least check out games I might’ve missed. I’m not forcing my self to actually finish the games, just play them for at least a few minutes, maybe mark it for follow-up later, but the point is to reduce my unplayed games list so I don’t feel as bad about it.
For anyone confused like me, she is apparently the fictional prime minister of Poland within the Tekken universe. The actual prime minister of Poland is still Donald Tusk (who is also not the brother of Elon Tusk).
Yeah, gaming seems like the perfect field to get into now, with its ongoing waves of layoffs that have been going on for over the past year.
Decent 3, where you just try to be a nice person while navigating all the assholes in the world.
I keep a collection on Steam of the games I’ve beat and just add them into the collection as I go. Going back through prev pre-Steam pc/console games I’ve beat probably wouldn’t take that long to remember I guess, but I don’t know where I’d store it or who else would care in my life.
It’s for organizing… homework.
That’s right, I forgot about that. He just always struck me as a barbarian for some reason, though I guess the animal companion is more a Ranger thing.
It’s Minsc & Boo, originally from the Baldur’s Gate games. He’s a barbarian Ranger with a space hamster, he’s apparently a bit crazy.
I’ve been looking for something for my RPG pdf collection and haven’t really found anything that scratches every need I have for it yet. I’ve gone through most of what’s out there and didn’t really see many great options. I mostly want to organize/categorize my collection of ttrpg e-books (reading I can do through dropbox as I don’t really jump from one item to another often enough to justify syncing my entire 100k+ collection), so I just settled on Zotero. It’s mainly meant for journals and scholarly works, but it seems like it fits part of my use-case and it’s tagging features are decent enough. Syncing PDFs is an option, but I’d have to get into the paid tier to have my whole collection accounted for.
Jellyfin I guess does have support for ebooks through a plug-in, but it isn’t terribly great IMO and you’ll still need something else like Tailscale I believe to actually be able to view stuff outside of your home wifi network. There’s some other options out there I believe, though they all seemed to be geared towards Manga collections, so if you’re looking to organize through this system, those may not work as well either (and you still may need Tailscale regardless).
Played it at launch and I’ve never had the desire to jump back into it since beating it the first time. I never had major issues with bugs or anything, the story was just on rails, there was no point in jumping back into it to play the same story all over again. Like yea, I guess they changed some systems and mechanics, but whatever.
