They did say that GOG didn't mean "Good Old Games" anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them...

They'd be crazy to stop that. As you said, it's one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.

Cool declaration of intent, and they definitely do a lot for tweaking and packaging old games so they're in a playable state.

But it's a bit amusing to see The Witcher in there. I mean, yeah, I certainly hope you're maintaining that one.

Isn't that the wreck of a port with botched controls, horribly misshapen characters and "enhanced" textures that misspelled environmental text everywhere? Occasionally completely missing jokes by doing so?

Was it supposed to be fixed in any way at some point?

It's probably made even more of a problem for the Normandy expedition because of the incentive to disconnect and play offline. Trying to find uncharted systems is a chore if you don't.

So let's say you just forgot to reconnect before creating your base, of course the game won't find any overlap.

The game should check overlapping again for upload, not just creation.

"Eh, mais attend une minute, c'est ça que ça voulait dire en fait?"

Checks out, the Pokémon universe was actually just Japan all that time.

Google Game Boy Light.

Looks cool, but I am a bit worried by them announcing exclusive preorder stuff and in app purchases already...

Is anyone familiar with that developer? What to expect?

Yeah, I've seen this done with aluminium.

Also mostly the plot of Ernest Cline's Armada, with a megaton of unsufferable 'tude and pointless 80's references sprinkled on it. Those references include "the last Starfighter", of course. It's terrible.

The podcast "372 pages we'll never get back" with Mike and Connor from MST3K/rifftrax did its second season on it. Kind of a book club with books they assume they're going to hate (mostly). First season was Ready Player One, from Cline too, so they chose this one next because they were astonished that Armada could be considered the bad one compared to RP1.

J'ai beau lire l'article, je vois pas ce que fout le mot "monomaniaque" dans la choucroute.

C'est en réponse à une question sur la proposition de services, donc ça veut peut-être dire que pour lui, un magasin est "maniaque" de juste vendre des trucs en rayon? Il explique absolument pas ce qu'il veut dire par là.

Les mots ont un sens, merde.

Animal Crossing is a special case (and one that made a lot of people angry back when the game released).

One console is tied to one "island", which means all accounts on the same switch play in the same town. Each has got their own house and inventory, and can contribute to the island in some ways...

But only the main account, who started the save, is "resident representative", which means they're the only one who can build or relocate stuff, and who can start community projects needed for the island to progress.

So yeah, all other players have an inferior experience. Which is a bit of a baffling design for a family game such as this.

Forgetting about the intrusion of shitty LLMs everywhere for a while... Who the fuck even uses notepad for something they would need redacted?

It's not a actual writing tool, it's a basic text file editor.
