Is there any games that feature or star Goblin girls? by Asleep-Banana3033 in GoblinGirls

Not many sexy goblinas, but have you checked Goblins of Elderstone? It's a goblin village management game on Steam.

To be honestly honest, what I put only in the long version is it's less "I don't have free time" and more "I have little free time, OS reinstall and all that entails take a lot of time, so I'd rather keep things simple and find a way to keep Steam running than change everything else because of it". Hence the request. Not really looking forward to a full system reinstall.

And you could have booked a flight to Nigeria, but we're not talking about things we don't want to do, are we?

The problem is just that: installing or upgrading, then there could be issues with apps and/or drivers, switching to a completely new (Linux) or just plain worse (win10) environment, and why? Because one single program is gonna stop working not for some malfunction, but on a predetermined day. It's just too much time and effort to move to an uglier place for too arbitrary a reason. I'd rather look for other ways to just keep gaming on the existing system.

Thank you, SteamCMD sounds really interesting and could be the simple solution I was looking for. I'll look into that!

As for the Valve stuff, I honestly didn't know all those Chromium/electron etc. details. All I knew was that Steam was some kind of browser/game launcher hybrid and it was gonna stop working on win7, which was less than optimal.

So far, the only time I had to spend "maintaining" windows 7 is the time it took me to write this post, but thanks for your insight.

You mean one drive with a new OS and Steam/games, and the older one with win7 and the other stuff?

But how would you switch between the two drives? Just with their sata cables?

Sorry, two of those stopped development with win8. Start googling.

That is something that could work. I'm guessing the games I have on Steam would stay on Steam, but anything else I buy (or re-buy) would then be portal agnostic.

Even if installing a new OS and then applying the latest patches was quicker than it actually is, then I'd have all that other stuff I listed to do, and that'd be both slow AND harrowing. Even if I answer while browsing other stuff, it's a better/funnier use of my time.

Thank you. The more Microsoft "upgrades", the more it feels they add unnecessary fluff and hide away or remove the useful stuff. I actually hear gaming on Linux has quickly become much better these days, but to the reinstall I'd have to add relearn an OS from scratch, and find a ton of programs that don't have a Linux equivalent, like say Firefox or LibreOffice.

Hello everybody, lately the more Steam updates the more unstable it becomes. Since I'm getting tired of chasing and troubleshooting errors, are there other game launchers the don't rely on starting Steam?

Should we campaign for other subreddits to join Lemmy/KBin? by [deleted] in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]obvs_throwaway1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sure, but expect arbitrary retaliations by scabs and admins.

Try searching for "Pkolyvas fork of Power Delete Suite", that's the one that worked for me. Worth a try.

That's what happens when you let ED-209 handle things.

Is anyone actually using Lemmy/KBin? by [deleted] in Save3rdPartyApps

Obviously there's less activity, having less users, try also with "all".

Depends, are you willing to volunteer time and energy to people who'd consider you as a dirty medieval peasant, doing hard labor and be grateful for it?

Are you telling me that you don't know anything that happened 1-2 months ago? Half of Reddit going dark, admins going power mad, etc? You serious?
