      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

    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.

      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

      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 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.
