Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I ran through the tutorial mission in the Steam and GOG editions earlier today. The GOG version automatically detected my display's native resolution while I had to go into the options to set it in the Steam version, but other than that I didn't encounter any differences in performance. If you aren't experiencing any crashes or other performance issues with your Steam copy then you probably don't need to pick up the GOG version.

And since it hasn't been posted in thread here's the mini-doc from youtuber Raycevik about recovering the game:

AP being 14 years old makes it as old as 1994 games were when Good Old Games was launched. (a random observation)

The trick to AP is to get the completely broken pistol skill that one shots everything. I think there was also one that turned you invisible.

Nah, just build and roleplay however you want for the first time through.

Later runs yeah, just make mega busto builds

Did they fix the way the mouse works? When I first played it on PC I had to play using a controller

I played it with mouse and keyboard and used a controller for the hacking minigames (Steam release)

Does that one boss fight still crank Turn Up the Radio by Autograph? I always thought the licensing rights over it is what got it pulled from Steam to start with.

Wait really? I had planned to do that but thought the game couldn't do dynamic control swapping.

It's been years but I remember using a wired xbox360 controller for the hacking minigame.

GOG version should have it considering that they even added playstation controller support.

i'm late to this i'm sure, but what's going on w the partial gog redesign? there's a new or secondary logo / typemark in there that looks kinda awful. noticed the copywriting changed up too — more typos and mild weirdness than before. did bundlestars buy them or something? did i get hacked

They rearranged the main site a bit recently but I don't see any new logos or anything like that.

Hey folks, just got a new PC and installed Galaxy on it and I can't remember if it was this thread or the GOG forums, but I remember getting a link to the latest Galaxy client version rather than just the 2.0 version on the website. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Also does anyone have a link to the working Steam intergrator? I'd get all this from my old PC but it died.

Great.

Reddit search turned up this: https://remote-config.gog.com/components/webinstaller?component_version=2.0.0

Steam integration, I gave up on, but last I checked, there was a community integration that had one foot in the grave. (edit: maybe try this, I don't bother with Galaxy integrations anymore: https://www.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/11qg0o7/gog_galaxy_steam_integration_needs_update_from/)

Playnite's Steam and GOG integrations work just fine, so when I feel like having that graphical launcher, that's what I use (but mostly I don't).
