It was the same for me with the guy with the hamster in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. He's a favourite to everyone, to me he was just an annoying idiot.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Feels like good old Asimov could have written it. The remake is also pretty good so far.

May I ask out of curiosity what led to the decision that this was a good idea?

Since she has horns (are these horns?) I'd call some scientists over. This might be the biggest discovery of all time. An extraterrestrial or extra dimensional lifeform? This would change everything!

Bob Roberts. It's more relevant than ever!

If you are not sure how to search for a specific problem and can just describe it in a few sentences then it's definitely worth the effort.

And for the state many search engines are in today that is sometimes the better way to find stuff.

I have a bunch of retro machines, and one of them is running XP. Not long ago I enjoyed No one lives forever on it. Nothing beats the correct hardware.

Regarding fixes, Service Pack 2 is enough. And since Steam is not supporting retro machines anymore there is no reason to connect it to the internet anymore, thankfully gog let's me download the installers, all the more reason to use gog exclusively. At least for my special gaming tastes.

Asimov's Foundation. That got me back into reading after around twenty years. Now I read one book a month, mostly sci fi, for nine years now.

Thank you Isaac Asimov, I could not imagine a life without reading anymore.

Thank you! I have about 5 games on steam, so I haven't installed it on my system. The only interesting one is Doom 2016, so for a moment I thought I could download the installer as a backup without having to use steam anymore in the future when I do want to play it again. Would have been nice. Thanks for clarifying!

So no installer then? Or can you download that separately?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (8 children)

So it's possible to download the installer through steam, store it somewhere and ten years later I can just start the installer without having steam on my system?

Asking out of curiosity, I don't use steam, I never thought that would be possible?

I had this on my first installation a few years ago, but then never again. I'm using Pro.
