I dont use galaxy coz it doesnt exist for my os. Would be glad if it existed (since multiple games miss native versions only coz their multiplayer part require galaxy), but wont use it anyway - gogrepo.py does everything perfectly

Also the wrong question.

I have a folder called "games". That plus a shortcut on the desktop for whatever I'm playing now. It's that simple. I honestly have no idea why anyone needs a special program for this.

ditto

I actually have two folders, one labeled GOG and one labeled STEAM.

What are you talking about?


Seriously though, I don't use GOG Galaxy. My reason for this is because I really prefer a tidy desktop and not have it packed with too many shortcuts. So, in the case of GOG Galaxy, I don't think I really have any use for it since I can easily open up my browser and open GOG through there. Heck, both use an internet connection! That similarity alone is enough for me to dismiss almost every single feature that GOG Galaxy has to offer. However, my opinion is still subject to change with the upcoming GOG Galaxy 2.0.

I would use it but it seems to hate 4k resolutions and gets all blurry all the time. but I do admit it is a nice side client.

Because many of us were already around long before the client was introduced and liked GOG explicitly for not requiring games to be run via a client like Steam. Personally I didn't feel the need for a client, but after it got introduced, I tried it out nevertheless and didn't like it that much. Also, when it was installed it kept doing things I hadn't told it to do, like starting itself in order to run a game I wanted to run without the client and other things. I don't know if it still does that, but after deinstalling Galaxy, I haven't looked back and I didn't miss anything. I install one at a time, but I have lots of games installed on my harddisk simultaneously, if that's what you mean. To keep track of them, I use these old-fangled things called desktop shortcuts and Windows Explorer. I also use the slightly more modern (but now outdated again) Win 8.1 metro screen as long as I still can (since Microsoft took all the fun out of it with Win 10).

I don´t use GOG Galaxy, since I don´t believe such a galaxy exists.

No way, don't, never did and never will. One (and infuriatingly, after they gave up on the second specific one, flat pricing, and muddled the less specific ones (goodies, making sure it works...). the only remaining) selling point of GOG was DRM-free, right? Among the requirements for something to be called that is not needing to do or use any other software other than a regular browser to download the game, and none whatsoever to install or run it, and not have anything check for a login or a key or whatever anywhere. No difference between it being "optional" but choosing to run it and it being mandatory, after all, as in either case it'd be running, and "calling home", likely with the login as well, and the point of GOG was to stay well away from any of that stuff.

What do you mean by install one at a time or multiple? Not sure how you'd install more games at the same time (I mean, you could, but system will struggle and it'll be slower than installing one after the other, especially if still on a HDD). As for organizing, as Leroux said above, using those things called desktop shortcuts, my installed games are in a column on the right side of the desktop (other programs in the first one on the left, links to commonly used folders or files in 2nd on left). Also have keyboard shortcuts, for commonly used programs it's ctrl+alt+[first_letter_of_name_or_of_a_word_in_name], for files it's ctrl+alt+[numpad_symbol], for games it's ctrl+alt+[numpad_number], in the order they are on the desktop, top to bottom. And, of course, they all go in D:\Games

Evidently you don't believe deodorant exists either.


That's all my time folks! Goodnight! Drive home safely!

I don´t believe such a galaxy exists

African or European?

heh

And if it had not been followed by an intermission I actually would had to pause the movie by then :D


OT: Only to grab the offline installers and occasionally to deinstall/update.

Try to imagine a galaxy far far away, where on every planet, reside living creatures similar to us who are always playing good old games 24/7. That galaxy would be called the GOG Galaxy.

I use galaxy on very rare occasions because v 1.2x started to trash free space on my home partition when runs from wine (with speed of ~1Gb of space per hour, I wonder what it writes so agressively because it's not in tmp, not in logs and wine with galaxy located on different partition). I prefer to keep this abomination closed unless there's very strict task for it.

it places but wrong ones. to get into menus under Games they have to use category=Game; but they use category=Games or nothing at all therefore all of their shortcuts go to menu dumpster category
