Doom: The Dark Ages is also 80€ lol. Looks like I'm not buying games on release anymore.

Figured as much, over here it's mostly in old buildings. Even when you renovate and put automatic breakers and fid switches, what's outside next to the meter are these old style fuses.

Not really, at least on relatively new stuff. Circuit breakers have been the norm for as long as I've been working with electricity. I do see fuses in specific devices but they're glass and frankly design flaws, as a low voltage breaker (we're talking like 5 amps) exist and are more durable. Also you get guys who diy and slap in a 10 amp fuse to replace a 1.5, which ain't good. Pretty much a double pole is there for 230v circuits, ie two hots instead of a hot and a neutral, and often subpanels. If a device allows either 115 or 230, 230 will draw half the amps and use significantly less electricity. But you also run into needing gfci breakers (like 6x the cost and fail quicker) with 230 for some things, whereas a 120 could just use a gfci outlet. Not sure what yours runs, 125 amps sounds like it'd be used for a sizeable subpanel to me. In my experience, you'll never really know what each breaker does without tripping it and seeing what goes off. Half the time it isn't even labeled.

I love GoG and prefer it for purchases, but Galaxy still sucks for me. I mean it works, but it has some weird updating error that never seems to get fixed. It's also just not that easy to navigate. But I still use it for a couple reasons: 1. I love the preservation of classic titles 2. My son has taken over my Steam account.

Yeah, I personally don't particularly mind if a game has DRM for a few months to half a year - even if it's Denuvo. Mind you, I'm not going to buy it while it has Denuvo, but I understand its use for that initial release period, since initial release is supposedly where games lose the most revenue to piracy. But I very much like to see games eventually get a DRM or effectively DRM-free release. I prefer GOG for its actually fully DRM-free approach, but basic Steam-wrapping can be disabled by pretty much anyone if they look up how, and that's what's typically used for most singleplayer games on Steam. Ubisoft is one of a few companies that seem to never remove Denuvo from their games no matter how old the games in question get. I wouldn't play, much less buy, any Ubisoft games in the first place, but it's nice of them to to enforce that I don't.

I was slightly disappointed to hear about the delay until I realised northern hemisphere spring is like, as little as one month after the game's release date? That's basically a simultaneous release for my purposes. I too have not played KCD1 despite being able to see the Collector's Edition box right in front of me right now. I'll always opt for GOG if possible. And if not, I'll often just skip any game that isn't one of my very few must-haves. Games on the "maybe" list - I'll throw out Dave the Diver as an example - turn into a firm do-not-buy unless available on GOG, or possibly as an Xbox Play Anywhere title.

I see a "2010 GOG Edition" version as well (the only other GOG release for this particular game), but the one under the list I posted above is shown as "2024 GOG PP Edition" and has separate versioning (i.e. the 2010 release's final version is notated as 2.0.0.9 from about 5 years ago, while the 2024's is 1.0.1.0 from a few months ago). What "PP" might stand for, I do not know, and Google doesn't seem to give me any relevant results. "GOG PP Edition" is a funny name, though, which has to count for something. Given that there was a previous GOG release, it probably shouldn't really be included in these results, though. (e): Oh, duh, "PP" is the "Preservation Program" GOG started not that long ago. It's basically their own souped-up version of the game that's supposed to ensure that it can be run on modern operating systems. So yeah, definitely shouldn't be included. I wonder how many like that are in my list...let's check: four. They are RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, Caesar III, SimCity 3000, and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Okay, so not as many as I expected, doesn't really affect the results all that much. There are more games in this Preservation Program than that, but those four were apparently the only ones that changed significantly enough to warrant the separate/distinct release year notations from any previous releases GOG might have had of them. Yeah. If nothing else, I would not want to see what these lists would look like for Steam, as I'm sure the GOG lists must dwarf the Steam ones.

GOG launched approximately 358 games whose initial releases were in 2024 (...I say it this way specifically to exclude games whose initial releases on other platforms or consoles were a previous year, but then released in 2024 on GOG). They are the following: I sorted them by popularity, hence why it starts with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and then proceeds to almost immediately descend into games you've never heard of. There were approximately an additional 229 non-2024 games that were launched in 2024 as well. Again, sorted by popularity. Some more mainstream titles there, albeit older games. Anyways, doesn't mean anything with regards to your point, I just wanted to check for my own curiosity. Specific to Obsidian, you can see Alpha Protocol near the top of the second list!

Damn, and here I am mad that it's set to hit 24 F tomorrow. Though I guess when your infrastructure isn't designed to handle cold (ie no insulation in the walls for pipes) and is crumbling anyways than it's going to hit different.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister springs to mind.

I had no interest in watching American Primeval until I read the Morman church called it dangerously misleading. Now I am dying to watch it.

Abortion right was based on constitution until it was not. Supreme court has made lot of decision in history what constitution actually means. What will people do if they decide that interpret this clause to mean that if person's parent's aren't US citizens then the baby is not subject of US jurisdiction and therefore they aren't US citizens All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
