Isn't that part of being a jackass online, not using your brain?

Development is more than writing code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development

I thought software development and developing meant different things

Technicallly, they only need 177(countries w/internet) 3(triangulation) × (≈531) superseeders to kickstart the main files, and deliver decryption keys between the 3 triangulators.

Wtf is the difference between making and developing a game???

do you play every game in easy mode? No judging you, just curious. I do not play every game in hardest difficulty, but I do play above normal difficulty

If the services weren't preparing for absurd traffic for this game, they were downright negligent.

Huh, Silksong is out now. Maybe it's time I played the first Hollow Knight?

Im old. I play easy. I just have little time with work, family, etc. To spend yet more time gaming. I enjoy the story and get to experience it quicker than I otherwise would.

Pros of GOG: ability to download an installer Cons of GOG: no features, very few games Pros of Steam: everything Cons of Steam: making backups of your games is marginally harder than on GOG I wonder why more people don't fall for the GOG meme. Truly a mystery.

I guess the same than between shooting and making a movie. But the term game development is confusing, as it includes more than actual development.

"Easy mode" aka "I have a full-time job and a family to take care of, I'd like to make some progress in this game with the small amount of free time I have". Not everyone has the time to sit down for a couple hours to grind out mechanics.

If you ever feel like giving it (or any other soulslike) another shot, I'd recommend putting less pressure on "beating" it or how much you're "failing". The joy of these games is the process, not (exclusively) the result - learning the sequences, the rhythms. That's what these games are all about. If you're just rushing to beat everything as fast as possible, you're missing out.

It was a callback to how one game journalist complained about the difficulty of Cuphead making it hard for him to review. [Source1](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/cuphead#controversies), [Source2](https://medium.com/irrelevant-dot-cool/everybodys-very-angry-at-this-video-game-journalist-for-being-bad-at-cuphead-e30f92f9162d). Not all games are catered to everyone. The fun of this game like many other hard games is dedicating the time to master them. For instance I still suck at Rocket League even though I've played it on and off for a decade.

Downloading it was actually no problem, paying was.

If you wanted to be tagged as a steam fanboy just say so The only feature GOG doesn't have that Steam has is the workshop, but they have all the rest like savegame cloud sync etc.

Use your kids to grind rosaries and you’ll be done in a week.

I'm still on Full Morning

That's not true, here are a few more: - Steam Deck compatibility - not exactly fair, but it is what it is - Steam Input - I tend to piggy back off Steam using Heroic Launcher - library organisation features - I think Heroic has this now though? I use Linux, so I don't know if galaxy has this That said, I think GOG is fine.

> it is sad to see that people don't buy enough from GOG for them to crash. 1. [Several people reported problems with GOG](https://downdetector.com/status/gog-com/), it's just not listed in OP for some reason. 2. Every platform scales their servers to their userbase so even if GOG had a dozen users they could still crash the servers.
