    My favorite part is the installers.

    I just installed a 2004 sierra game (Arcanum - very hard solo, def made for co-op) and the installer threw me back to the early noughties, and it was just lovely. That green progress bar and the wildly outdated game ads were hugely pleasing.

      I need a second HDD for storage of the GOG installers I have and it’s killing me that I can only run a handful of games at a time. Stupid small SSD. Currently have two installed, NMS and Zero Dawn and I’d love to finish the Witness at some point in this century. Ugh.

        Are they compressible? You might have luck gzip or bzip2 compressing the .exe files.

          Am not certain. I’m just holding fast with the two games I have - No Man’s Sky just did another massive update and has a ton of new shit to do so I’m faffing around with the new space base building parts (too cool for words!) and enjoying the hell out of it for now.
