So which games did you manage to find and which ones are problematic?

Yup. It's pretty much all there. I was pretty upset that I missed out on Heroes Chronicles but, lo and behold, turns out GoG has that. They also keep sending me emails about good deals and stuff, so that's cool. And, just like they did with the Witcher a couple days ago, they also offer games for free for a limited time period.

I heartily recommend GoG as well. Their system is a bit more open than Steam's. It doesn't have the constant background system that keeps all the games fully updated, IIRC. But it does have full support for a lot of great titles, and a complete lack of DLC. There are a number of older games that I have been having trouble running on modern systems, but they actually include preformatted DosBox and other compatibility options to ensure the games will work just by running the game application. Really, give them a shot.

I recommend it. It is a nice alternative to Steam sometimes, especially with the lack of DRM, but that also means fewer companies support it because they have less control over their material. As the name suggests, though, its biggest strength is that it gives you access to some older games. So while you'll probably only find the enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate on Steam, you can get either that or a bundle of all the original versions by GoG. I got the very nice Heroes of Might and Magic III collection from there. And since you're a conoisseur of game releases as close to the original as possible, I figure this might be a good option for you.

Good Old Games. Theyre pretty cool when it comes to bundles, bargains, plus all the games they offer are totally DRM-free

Oooh!

Also, the sure if this is still happening, but the original Witcher was just announced free for s limited time on GoG!

You are completely right

No need for apologies. You don't have control over what happens. It's all good.

Ooh, I need to see it :P

So I've recently been thinking about how we never really know how life will go for us. We can plan and work but through twists of fate, things can happen that will either pull us up or drive us to the ground. You can't really know where exactly you'll be in ten years - perhaps all your dreams will have come true, or maybe you'll have completely different dreams altogether. Maybe you'll be miserable, or maybe you'll be the happiest, most fulfilled person alive. You never know what hand you'll be dealt. So while it's important to have a goal in mind and work at it, it's important to learn to let things go as well as just take life as it is. So maybe the key to being happy is all about accepting yourself and your surroundings as they are rather than striving for some ideal, unpredictable future. So yeah, you probably are doing something right. And whatever happens in the future, happens. I for one have faith in your creative skills, but what matters is that there's ways in which life is good now.
