Paingiver: Amok and SimonG you two are really son of bitches aren't you? You two imbeciles motherfucker.
amok: Let me tell you a little story.
Right now I am sitting in the living room, next to my better half. We are watching "The Mentalist" on TV, and I am also playing Skyrim on my laptop. I started it up with NMM, running it thorough Skyrim Extended Script something. Steam is running in the background, offline mode, I do not notice it and it hardly take any resources. I really enjoy the slow play of a stealth archer sneaking through a dungeon while watching TV. I feel happy and content (the glass of red vine helps also.)
I have absolutely no problems, everything is running smoothly. I have not had any problems since I got Halflife 2 eight years ago. And I belong to the majority of players of today.
However, after this thread I now understand it was all an illusion, I did not enjoy myself at all and Valve was controlling me through their draconian DRM mind-probe.
Edit: By the way, if this scheme of yours falls through, can you promise me it will really be the LAST stand?
Let me tell you a story too!
I am now enjoying my Vodka - it is Smirnoff Green Apple by the way very good quality-. My girlfriend massages me on the shoulders while i play with my co... Oh... While i play Disciples and write to this topic.
Hmm. Maybe. Maybe i will give up all eventually and erase my memory. So i can return to those times that i don't know anything about Steam, DRM or anything else. Only downloading the games and playing them. Respecting all the publishers and developers. Those were the times! Full freedom, only the games!
By the way i am writing this message from a netbook stationed on a IKEA table. So Kudos for IKEA too!
And beware! It is not your brain that they control. It is your cock!!!
