MODERATORS
Some games (modded ones) are such a pain to get to work the same way that you don't want to delete them
Honestly if the mods aren't drag drop play I don't even fuck with them. I've spent too much time modding games that weren't made to be modded, and steam workshop has truly spoiled me.
Yeah, and nexus now requires to login to download mods AND you can’t use a temporary email address
Nexus really sucks now
Do you know of an alternative?
I sadly don't, I'm just frustrated that Nexus gobbled up the whole scene.
As someone old enough to have chosen between save files to delete for space, I don't really understand why people get so hung up on which games are currently installed.
I mean, I'm also old and I get what you mean, but I still feel this way on many occasions.
Games nowadays are huge, and my 50 mbps bandwidth can't keep up with today's standard where I'm used to everything happens instantly.
Also modded games are usually painful to reinstall.
Pffft, I remember typing without vowels to save space
I remember how amazing it was to upgrade the memory cards in the PS2 to those third party ones.
Whereas the paltry 128kB memory cards in the PS1 were painful to deal with, especially with those games that demanded multiple save slots.
Cartridge based games varied so much with save slots. Some games I recall playing from the SNES era only had 3 slots I think. I remember Mega Man X used a clever passcode feature to let you ‘save’.
I old enough that, as a kid, every time I wanted to play a game I had had to wait for it to install from cassette.
Besides, download speeds now are amazing.
tape load times were a good excuse for a tea break
the download speeds being good now is kinda cancelled out by a lot of games being ridiculously huge now though
Just nabbed 4tb of ssds. Happy to not have to do this anymore (for a while).
Single 4tb NVME, aaaall the games
And one point of failure for many things
With 1tb nvme boot drive. I can generally re-get a game at any time, but i dont feel like redownloading just because the OS is fucked.
With that set up you could install Ark twice!
Lol
I've already filled up around 1.5tb on my 2tb nvme ssd in like 7 months
Hah, yeah. I'm pretty prolific at filling up my drives as well. Should still help, though!
Is the pic from the walking dead? Cause if so pretty sure I stopped watching at this season and was curious if it ever picked up again?
it is! this was season 7. season 8 (and a lot of 7, both seasons were the same arc or whatever) was the best season by far imo (I'm also only on season 9 lol)
when my gf got me to watch the zombie show™ I did not expect it to turn into such a crazy non-zombie-focused plot. there are 11 seasons of the main show, 8 seasons of fear the walking dead, a season or two (idk) of Daryl Dixon, and yet another show, the ones who live, released in 2024.
I think they even have a few more shows than that now
alternatively:
Just get more space
You've obviously never been to space
Outer space no. Inner space yes but it wasn't pretty
I always wanted you to go though
I usually delete one of the hundreds to thousands I haven't played since I was 12 either that or the one game I want to play more than anything else but can't play with a controller.
It's always a game you want to get back to or intend to try. But it just never grabs your attention.
