  • GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don’t think it’s required. I could be wrong…

    Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

    GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.





  • To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.

    Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.
