drmike: GOG Galaxy will now shutdown.
From a lot of the saltposts I see here about GOG Galaxy bundling with installers, I would guess most people here would be happy if this happens.
Galaxy is what?

NFG No Freaking Good (polite form)
NFG New Found Glory (band)
NFG Neighborhood Funders Group
NFG Nefteyugansk (Russia)
NFG National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation
NfG Note for Guidance (European Medicines Agency)
NFG Nar-Anon (Narcotics Anonymous) Family Group
NFG Non-Functional Gear
NFG Not Functioning Good
NFG National Golf Foundation
NFG Not for Girls (hair care line)
NFG Non Fighting Group (gaming)
NFG No Filament or Grid (vacuum tube)

NFG No Freaking Good (polite form)
That was my impression of the abbreviation, but meh...
I'd go with "Not Functioning Good" but I don't think that's proper English. Should be NFW (Not Functioning Well), shouldn't it?

Anyways, I'd rather have Galaxy NFAA (Not Functioning At All).

I'd say that depends on the concept being shared, or maybe I should say the mood of the context. For example, that might be a form of "not functionally good", implying there might be some other good about it (rather than some other good thing about it). The phrase "it's not functioning good" is perfectly normal American English, much like the Perfectly Normal Beast.

OTOH, if I'm concerned about fitting in with a certain crowd, then I find the best way is to listen to how those specific people around me speak/write. Though, that won't always be how they want to hear others speak, and it might even depend on the moment. It seems to me there are always many connotations for a word, and that words can only suggest concepts rather than ever dictate them.

I think language is flexible, or else it wouldn't have been what has been and wouldn't be what it will be. I mean, grammar for a language is simply a set of observations of what has happened, grammar isn't what a language should be. Imagination is too wild to have its expression bounded by so few observations recorded in the name of grammar, especially as those observations would be shared without original context (and without opportunity to question the source rather than the observer).

And I'm favoring "Never Fantastically Great" in regards to Galaxy.
I honestly thought it meant No Fucking Good. XD
Not For Gaming?
I think its just a typo. He meant to press B, but was a little off, and landed on N instead. Its BFG. Unfortunately I have no idea what BFG means in this context.

Edit:
That was a joke by the way. I don't know why I thought it would be funny, cuz its not.

Yes, that is the error message I get. I've uninstalled Galaxy for now but if there is a fix for that error I will try it again.

Sorry, I can't force you to click a link.

It's always a good idea to search first when you have an error. As you can see, the error can come from a number of different causes. I would suggest skimming the previous threads to see if one of them helps.

If nothing works, then it;s a good idea to come back here and give us a detailed update.

Good luck

I didn't know it was a link because it is not a different color as the other text. I do now though, thanks.

OK, found out it is because I use Cryptoprevent and need to disable it if I want to use Galaxy. Nope, ain't doing that so no Galaxy for me.
