@Jarix @leave_it_blank offline installers (what you get from GOG) are forever. Ask my library of archived GOG installers.

@scruiser there's no winning with these guys. I had a similar experience with someone bringing up South Korea as an example of country that brought itself up by its bootstraps via unfettered capitalism because “planned economy doesn't work”, so I had to remind them that SK was a military dictatorship who implemented 5-year plans leveraging billions of foreign investment that was given to it by US to prop it up against NK.

@scruiser @BlueMonday1984 funny how they mock left wingers for «that wasn't real communism» and then come up with the same excuses for liberal democracies and capitalism whenever one points out all the shit that came out of that. It's really ALWAYS projection with them, isn't it?

@nope @banazir there's a distinct impression that the collection of symbols was specifically chosen to provide plausible deniability («it's not EXACTLY that thing») while still being a clearly recognizable dogwhistle. And honestly this just makes it worse.

@Jarix oh, that, yeah. GOG is currently in a decent position because it has a launcher, but it's basically a “thin layer” on top of APIs that allow anyone to download the installers (plus some services to manage those installations). As long as the underlying APIs remain accessible, it's fine. (This is e.g. how lgogdownloader allows one to archive their whole library for offline installation.)

@glimse (joking aside, I wasn't aware tags would come through this way, I'll be more considerate about this in the future).

(I'll fault lemmy for this though: it reinterprets the HTML as Markdown but then fails at rendering it in the title.)

@Telodzrum good to know, but I tend to avoid games without native ports, as a matter of principle. No Tux No Bux.
