Welcome friend, even midlevel will open you to a world of gaming.

Remember the order of purchases should be GOG (DRM free games), then Steam, then shittier platforms.

Older games especially, things like the older fallout games you'll be able to pick up for <$5 and play for 60+ hours

I would put Humble Bundle bundles at the top of the list.

I would put independent developers at the top of the list. Couple examples

Bump for humble. Run it for a year or two and you'll have a scary backlist in no time. Though I also have a bunch of shit (imo not actually) games from the early days before the pick system that I'll never play.

Gog top even after their Nazi symbols email recently?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 10 points 20 hours ago

Yes. I'll allow mistakes to happen, one mistake does not erase all of the good they've done. They keep doing it, that changes things, but they admitted it and apologized.

Yes, that was not intentional.

There were lightning bolts that were supposed to be at the beginning and end of a phrase that ended up getting moved side by side.

See I thought that it was just them being super unprofessional and letting the robot do their marketing for them and not even proofreading. Is that not still the case here?

Here's a question, why have it at all? It was not sent out to Germany with it. Why not just make that version the only one? Leave your emojis out of your subject lines and have your marketing team embed a professional image in the body, thats enough.

Can you name a better option?
