l0rdtr3k: Time to hug some people!

penumbren: 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.

penumbren: 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.)

toxicTom: Big Howdy! *hug and waves*

Prepared Schnitzel, green peas with butter and french fries for dinner :-)

ElTerprise: *big hug* How are you?
Good afternoon *returns hug*

Sounds delicious :).

Soccorro: Come into my arms Blob!

l0rdtr3k: Doing well for the most part.

*slimmes Soccorro*

GhostwriterDoF: Greetings! :)

I like the one-on-one chat too, for the same reasons, and it is also a nice change of pace for keeping in touch with people. (plus it is easier to talk to one person than having a conversation with three or more at the same time like in the threads) :)

GhostwriterDoF: Oh, now I'm hungry (well, hungrier than usual)

<welcome hug>

GhostwriterDoF: <ruffles the little blob playfully>

j0ekerr: 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.

CarrionCrow: Right now, aside from the games I actively have installed, Galaxy's not picking up on anything.
In all probability, I'm totally screwed and have to download all my installers again.

Also? I am getting all kinds of huffy. How dare you indicate an interest in speaking with me by sending me a friend request. The nerve of some people! ;)

Hopefully the project works out well for you and yours, so you're not eventually stuck with the scenario of a 3 am shitbag roommate dumpster corpse disposal.

Can't say much about Chrome-type problems, since I only use Firefox. Maybe as time goes on there'll be a way to remedy the problem you're having.

CarrionCrow: 68 hours, 34 minutes spent on Final Fantasy Tactics...-laughs-

ElTerprise: That's good to hear :).

Good afternoon :)

l0rdtr3k: I can now invite peeps to be friends. Has anyone noticed it?
