  1. Indeed, I buy my games mainly on GOG, and I never anticipated something like this to see there. I do backups of every game I purchase, due to the preservation concerns. And I have never expected something like this. But now, that it is here, I am 100% sure, that there might be some games in my catalogue, which I would not mind playing with higher streaming latency when staying at the hotel during my business trip. Well of course only if the service can be run in a browser, as I would not be allowed to install any client inside my work laptop.
  2. If you own a game on GOG, you will be able to play it on streaming service Luna (subject to availability of said game on that service) for no additional costs. I think Nvidia offered something like this with Steam few years ago, but then cancelled it. So for some people, it might be interesting addition to their services. https://www.gog.com/en/news/bmore_ways_to_play_your_gog_games_were_teaming_up_with_luna_cloud_streaming_serviceb
  3. It might be the cookies. I experienced in the past similar behaviour, if I deselected Social Media cookies in their settings.
  4. A follow up of above mentioned “new road” for Warner Bros… https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/03/devs-left-with-tough-choices-as-warner-bros-ends-all-adult-swim-games-downloads/
  5. First of all, trying to lecture me about what is good or not for my country, and what might happen or not, with minuscule knowledge of our political history since 1993, is as silly as me trying to lecture you about how should your country develop your current ties with China and Australia, or as silly as your remarks in 2022, how Russia would never invade Ukraine, but sure I’ll bite this time You are forgetting few things, Europe has done absolutely nothing, when green men went into Donbass and Crimea. Fico is a **** who actively attacks western allies, and every western leader knows how big of a **** and coward he is. And Putin with Orban knows that very good as well. So if we “wisely” would leave NATO, and he started to beg for help after being invaded, there is a pretty big chance, that they would tell him in a most polite way to **** Off. Also, the Slovak National Party leaders, are actively sucking on Orban’s ****. Considering corrupt and how a big of a coward is their chairman (he was hiding from police, after he crushed one traffic light during a night ride, and is still avoiding responsibility for this), they would sell the south of the country without a second thought. And even if every single person in my country would want tomleave NATO, it still does not mean, that it is not the most stupid idea under the sun, given the current circumstances, as it is as clear as a diamond, that if Hungary would send green men to Slovakia during ongoing Russian invasion, no one would give a priority to go help and waste limited resources on a country, which show time and time again, that it’s leaders do not want to be a part of Europe, over continuous help to Ukraine. It is pretty much given, that in such scenario EU would decide to first finish up Russia in Ukraine, and only after then, they would deal with Hungary from position of power. Oh and BTW, I am half Slovak, half Hungarian
  6. It looks like there might be some shakedown in the AAA going on currently. WB is discussing going Free to Play and mobil only and leaving console market after enormous flop of Suicide Squad. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/warner-bros-discusses-volatile-aaa-console-games-will-lean-into-free-to-play-and-mobile/1100-6521597/
  7. Heh, we do not have foreign policy now. We are de jure still NATO and EU member, but we are now de facto a puppet state of Russia. Probably on the same level as Belarus. The funny thing is, that Muscovites are considering our leaders as coward collaborators as well. Oh and Hungary "has" same territorial claims on Slovakia, as Russia "has" on Ukraine. And guess who has upper hand in Kremlin at the moment If any of these idiots will at some point decide to populistically make a referendum about leaving NATO, which will most likely be successful, we will be eaten by Hungary in matter of weeks, with Muscovites acting as "peacekeepers" in a same way, as they acted in Nagorno Karabakh The whole three days of real independence will be surely worth it, wouldn't it?
  8. Slovak Foreign Minister had a meeting with Lavrov, and our Prime Minister has boasted how important that meeting was and how important for us are the relations with Russia. Few days after that as a reaction, Italy announced, that the agreement about SAMP/T AD which they provided to us, will be terminated, and it will be transported to Ukraine ASAP. Another reaction was that Czech Republic, our closest neighbours and friends for few hundreds years will not be attending any bilateral meetings on highest state level with PM Fico anymore, as any meeting like that would put a big stain on Czech Reputation. The third reaction was, that there will be event on embassy of Netherlands in Prague, where EU ambassadors/diplomats have been invited to attend, with the exception of Slovak one. They will be talking about the situation in Slovakia... It took less than 6 months to our new government, to completely destroy all goodwill we gathered since 1993, when we became independent. Slovakia is currently idiomatically back in 1939, when we became Hitler's puppet state
  9. Some information about Sudanese front of the Russian colonial war. Sudanese government has scored largest gains against special forces. It is said that it was due to training on Bayraktars and other drones received from UA SF. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/03/6/7445214/
  10. It is two more days on sale, if you have not played it yet Anyway, just in case, I will post you one more game from my wishlist, which should be released soon , although it is Turn-based one, but I think, it might fulfill all of your other criteria. https://www.gog.com/en/game/realms_beyond_ashes_of_the_fallen
  11. from my wishlist https://www.gog.com/en/game/black_geyser_couriers_of_darkness released in 2022 all of the others are turnbased, as this is my preferred style.
  12. 14 RU jets downed in 13 days. And the reasons behind it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/03/02/13-sukhois-in-13-days-the-ukrainians-are-shooting-down-more-russian-jets-because-the-russians-are-flying-and-bombing-more-often/
  13. Looks like UA shell hunger will come to an end soon. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/03/01/with-a-million-shells-about-to-ship-ukraines-artillery-crisis-could-end-soon/
  14. IMHO the best was Dragonfall. The best combination of combat and narrative. SR felt a little bit short, and HK a little bit long. The HK bonus campaign was a treat as well. Something in between SR and DF.
  15. DLC to a free Nomads of Driftland is now on giveaway. You have to own both, to be able to play The Forgotten Passage. Base Game: https://www.gog.com/game/nomads_of_driftland Giveaway: https://www.gog.com/en/game/nomads_of_driftland_the_forgotten_passage There is also a cheap predecessor of this game currently on sale: https://www.gog.com/en/game/driftland_the_magic_revival
  16. Well, it definitely did not in the short term, but in the long term, having very few big "focus-testing-driven" fishes in a pond, can hurt a lot the current diversity of produced games. Especially if other engines decide to pull another Unity-like "stunt" as well.
  17. Goal nr.3/24 achieved February 28, 21:15 – I have completed very fast run for the last Trophy in New Game ++ of Dark Souls: Remastered on my PS4. Approximately three hours to clear my way to both Bells of Awakening, defeat Sif and another run to Anor Londo blacksmith. There I have ascended last two boss weapons from Sif’s and Gwyn’s souls, and with that, I have unlocked the Knight’s Honor and The Dark Soul Platinum Trophy.
  18. You are not wrong about Transnistria. but in his other speech, he mentioned tax increase https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/02/29/7444363/
  19. On the other hand, Some of the other leaders, thanked him, that he opened this question. He also stated in his latest interview, that he was very serious, when he spoken these words. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/02/29/7444383/
  20. With a much higher interest rates, a lot of investors choose different way of investing, so game industry pretty much run out of “free” money, and has to adapt. Most of the time, it starts with layoffs
  21. Goal nr. 02/2024 has been achieved few days ago February 25, 21:30 – New Game + of Dark Souls: Remastered on PS4 has been completed :). The second ending was of course To Link the Fire, which gave me another trophy in my Platinum run. During this run, the goal was all miracles trophy, and all missing weapon ascension trophies, with the exception of Knight's one, for which I need to defeat Sif one more time, and then run all the way to Anor Londo blacksmith. During NG+, I have found out, that this game started to feel much easier with melee character than with the sorcerer one. The only exception was Kalameet, which was destroying me for almost 3 hours and almost always around 10-20% HP mark. I am just happy, that I have learned how to control my rage, as few years ago, I would be most likely in need of a new controller
  22. Macron is the first western leader, to speak about the possibility of deployment of western troops to Ukraine. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/02/27/7443873/ He also announced coalition for providing medium to long range ammunition to ukraine for deep strikes against Russia. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/02/27/7443877/ although Scholtz still refuses to provide Taurus missiles https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/02/26/7443813/
  23. There are numerous claims, that UA is retrofitting all of their S-200s, with modern electronics, and that currently the only common thing it has with soviet S-200 is husk and explosives. And there are also rumours, that they can be launched from a specially jointly developed NATO-UA launcher, which can launch various ex-soviet and NATO standard missiles. Someone already talked about the name of this project, but, I can’t remember it. the first half is for me pretty plausible. More, than friendly fire. As A-50 airplane’s primary purpose was to scan sky for UA missiles and drones, and AD batteries. It is simply hard to believe, that they would allow their own AD, which they commanded, to shoot at themselves. the second half, it seems a little bit unrealistic at the moment? Unless someone knows, the exact name of this project, and can confirm/deny if it is real or not. Also, there have been first official talk about UA KIAs, since 2022. Zelenskyi has stated in interview, that number of UA KIAs is 31000, and number of RU KIAs is 180000. He did not specified number of WIAs nor MIAs on UA side. On the RU side, they are counting with 500000 WIA+MIA combined. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/02/25/7443637/
