This is what I do too. The first thing I do after buying from GoG is to download the installers, both Windows and Linux. So I don’t have to download again and again every time I install. I can carry a copy around and install it on an offline machine too. I also share my games with my family, just like sharing discs in the old time. If some of them like one of the games, they’ll buy it again themselves. If this is not owning games in practice, I don’t know what is.

It feels like the problem with Linux gaming nowadays, is that people expect you to own your games on Steam. Yes, Steam’s support is excellent now. But my GOG games not so smoothly. Is it because of my obscure hardware? Is it my misconfiguration? Or is it me mod my games the wrong way? I’m still trying to figure out a way to mod my GOG Skyrim through MO2.

I still have a machine that runs Windows 10 LTSC. Used to need it to run Adobe softwares, but I get past that now.

Now I need it to run my heavily modded Bethesda games. I can’t get my GOG versions to run through MO2 or NMM even with the help of Steam. I feel really stupid. Heroic Launcher somehow can’t run some Proton supported games on my end, too. My small collection on Steam seems fine, but most of my games are on GOG, I can’t figure out why sometimes Heroic won’t work.

The Fifth Element comes to my mind immediately. It was my happy place.

The Lord of the Rings, It’s what I watch when I felt lost.

Also, Nostalgia, another film I rewatch when I felt not belonging and nowhere to go back to.

I remember every place where I’ve lived in for more than one week. Including their surrounding areas. I like go back there in my mind from time to time, for many of them don’t exist any more.

I, too, am glad that I added two more RAMs when they were cheap. Hopefully if one of them died, I can still have a decent machine in the foreseeable future.
