Because that is how much data some types of Blu-ray hold.

Does anyone still work at Xbox anymore

Does it do anything that Lutris doesn’t? I usually download gog installers for both Linux and windows games (often from my phone and rsync it across to PC) and use them interchangeably on Linux with Lutris and you don’t even notice a difference once it’s installed.

I can’t even be bothered to pirate it

Bought about 15 games for that much the other day in the GoG sale. Against the Storm is probably my favourite out of the 3 I have played so far and will probably keep me going for a while even though I want to play the others too.

And if it concerns you, keeping the installer is easy.

So the same thing with physical, the shop could be told to stop selling and distributing it.

Also don’t gog usually only stop sales rather than distribution from existing purchases?

I have bought a game on gog, how can the publisher revoke that game from me now that I have it?

Not aware of any games on gog that are always online

Do any games on GoG exist that can be killed by a publisher?

Sure but you can use your own choice of 2FA software for your own stuff

I don’t really mind using shit software on work devices. Yes it’s slow and inefficient, I spent half an hour today on Windows doing what would be a very short command on Linux. Fuck it, get paid the same. I just use Linux at home in my own time.

I’ll point out better software exists. If I don’t get support in changing it or allowed to change it, fuck it. It’s on them at that point.

Glad I don’t use their app then.

How do you connect it to your existing hot water system though? Already got a heat pump too, when you have the most sun the heat pump barely uses any power for hot water and don’t need much.

I have wondered about solar/fire heated pool or hot tub, but that is adding energy demands in the first place. That said with the heat lately a cold pool could be nice. Can get 5000L for just under £100, 3-4m wide. Heating it could make it usable into autumn though.

Every live OS I have ever run can see physical drives if they exist, sounds very odd to not be able to see it from there and yet grub loads.

If grub loads can you boot a recovery image from there? Are you sure grub isn’t installed anywhere else too

If they don’t see the drive at all it’s fucked. If they see the drive but not partition I normally use testdisk to try and recover the partitions, photorec to look for files if that doesn’t work and it’s not encrypted.

If it isn’t visible at all then you are looking at drive repair, if you are asking this question that probably isn’t something to attempt. Try another set of cables and port just in case that is the issue though.

Hey, wanna join me on my illegal Minecraft server?

TIL Sid Meier’s Pirates was released on Wii.

My PC certainly doesn’t.

Aren’t old games pretty small though? It’s new ones that you may need a huge volume to store many of them. Depends how much we are talking of course. 2TB or 50TB?

Well let’s start with how much you need.

Then we can all cry. Currently looking at replacing HDDs with SSDs and significantly cutting down on my data storage requirements - basically uninstalling all those games I haven’t played in a long time and probably won’t. Plus it’s easier to avoid getting sucked into playing ESO and wasting money on it if it’s behind a 100+ GB download. Majority of games I actually play are under 5GB so I could go pretty heavy. Couple second hand 512GB SSDs perhaps? Under £100…
