moonshineshadow: You can open a chat with the friends you have in galaxy, that can be used anytime. Only problem is that people will need to be also using galaxy for that, which could become a problem if you want to talk to us :P

GhostwriterDoF: Indeed! :P

But it also means that people can nudge and poke each other when playing different games... if the chat is enabled.
True. I am curious to see how all this works out once the client is finished. It has potential (of doing things right but also wrong) :D

CarrionCrow: The chat feature can be useful in terms of using it as a form of messaging without garbage lagtime, flag notices and all that crap.
Will it replace the thread? Not even close.
Heh! Replace the Thread? Speak not of heresy!

EndreWhiteMane: That didn't work.
Yeah, it didn't work for me either. All I can do now is salvage the situation by looking up recipes on the internet that make use of goat meat.

The only thing that would serve as an acceptable replacement to the thread would be a chatroom that retains all information, that includes a way to mark statements towards particular people so they get notifications of commentary directed towards them, that I could carefully moderate (with a bloody iron fist) to keep the inevitable douchebag incursions out.

In other words, the thread gets replaced half past never. -laughs- =)

Yes, I did, and I have to say, that method is absolutely retarded. I'm amazed the front page of their website is anything other than a gigantic pair of floppy red clown shoes.

EndreWhiteMane: First case I've seen of needing the Steam Client to get a DRM free game. :-)
Hahaha!...I missed that last night. Can't help laughing quite a bit :-D
Glad you eventually got a DRM-free game, though! :-)

CarrionCrow: Joy. That's like asking me if I want to get kicked in the groin, or have my facial hair set ablaze...-laughs-

Thank you for the info. Guess I'll start installing crap then.
Do you?

Heya all!

So.... I'm using this nifty new Galaxy beta. I skimmed the last few pages and saw that some of you have been having issues importing games. I'm not an expert, so I'm not offering solutions. ;P Just wanted to say that I have about a dozen games installed at the moment and they vary from "installed pre-Galaxy and picked up fine" to "installed using Galaxy without a problem" to "only worked in Galaxy post-unbundling but picked up after using unbundled standalone installer."

I've sent a few friend requests. I've had some excellent conversations with people via chat in Steam and other services, although I tend to leave them open so I look like I'm around when I'm not. (Sorry not sorry?) If I sent you a request and you're not interested, okay - your choice. Just please don't get all huffy and rude - there's no way I'll be able to keep up with who wants what and who doesn't want things and who's offended by the whole concept. I still plan on hovering around the edges of the forum, as I have, but IM/PM/chat is probably a better way to get hold of me quickly than a forum post.

On a totally different note, I may put out a plug or two for the project that my husband and I are working on. It's a home/permaculture/business thing - he's super optimistic about short-term achievements with it, while I'm more pessimistic about timelines, but at least it gives us something to work toward while planning how to get out of our current not-wonderful living situation.

One annoying thing about the forums in Galaxy - the popup window for "new post" is truncated slightly on the right side, just as it is in Chrome. I'm assuming it's because I have Chrome set to the first auto-zoom (110%, maybe?) because of the ridiculous amount of white space the GOG website has on widescreen monitors/screens, but it's weird that Galaxy would also pick that up.

I tried to register my rented copy of it and it worked. So basically renting it on Steam the usual way and then registering the cd-key on stardock is much easier than your procedure...

EndreWhiteMane: 1.) I was just successful in adding a game to Galaxy right from my downloaded installer, most won't work that way.
2.) I have been unsuccessful at adding some games that are already installed to Galaxy.
All seems to be about what version of who you have, and if you hold your mouth just right. ;-)
Additionally you have to take into account the feng-shui of the computer relative to the room, wether you have slit enough turtles' neck to the dark gods of computing and wether the cabbalistic runes in the circle of power are made with chalk or vogon's blood.

*welcome hug* I hope you'll still visit us here in the thread :-)
Since while the chat function of the client it is not very useful if you can not use the client for different reasons (like work) and then the thread here is great :D

You don't need that. I'm a quasi-narcoleptic/insomniac who smokes.
Eventually, the shit's getting burned off one way or another. ;) -laughing hard-

Oh, definitely useless at work! Like I said, I'll still be around the forum. I'm one of those people who like all the "useless social crap," though. :)

For instance, one-on-one chat is where I'm more likely to get into depth with people, as opposed to a public forum, no matter how friendly. And I like game time tracking and achievements - you can probably blame Nintendo and WoW, respectively, for those. Well, maybe Squaresoft more than Nintendo; the first time I saw game time tracking was in the Final Fantasy games, AFAIK. And WoW achievements are good for pointing out strange yet fun things to do. (I still want to know where the pirates in Booty Bay on Talk Like a Pirate Day hang out for the rest of the year, though.)
