That's pretty cool, it would be even cooler if they got Steam to support them the other direction.

But then at that point... are they just the same service? :confused:

Kinda feels like Valve should just buy out GOG and make them the 'classic games' division or something.

Well at least your day isn't going bad at all, imo boring is better than bad (tho obvs good trumps both)

Thanks, I am gonna be here for a while yet still but I count my lucky stars I'm not in a situation like my friend was where she had to come to this same mcdonald's 5 days a week and sit there during her fiance's 8 hour workshifts because he didn't trust her to go out without banging another guy so he wanted to keep an eye on her and keep her busy by having her organize his trading cards and do deckbuilding for him and keep her from falling asleep even tho she worked the night shift at a nursing home.

I had a friend tell me that he saw people were really mad that you could play a female Link and he was surprised when I told him that to my knowledge that hadn't really been confirmed anywhere.

I love it when people get mad about Linkle or the idea of a female Link in general. I would challenge anybody to give me a good reason why Link's gender matters at all. He never gets into romances of any kind, among other reasons being that he's a silent protagonist who communicates in nods and grunts. He's just an avatar for the player who goes on adventures that don't factor into his masculinity or whatever.

It's like when nerds get mad about a black Spider-Man. Miles Morales notwithstanding, there's no reason whatsoever why Peter Parker has to be a white guy, besides the fact that he was created in the 1960s by a white guy, like every other Marvel Superhero. That was back when you couldn't have a character of non-white or non-American origins without having them be defined completely by a ridiculous cartoon stereotype.
I mean, look at this 70s-rear end motherfucker:

Uhmmm excuse me, ocarina of time link got involved with like every girl in that game by grunting and doing fuckall. Fuckers had to erase him from the time continuum so he could avoid all the people he'd accidentally gotten engaged to. all the fish too. something something no gay marriage in din's country

If anything Linkle is extremely true to the original concept of Link, who was named that because he was supposed to be the avatar of or "link" to the player. Really it's shameful it took this long to get a female Link.

Yeah, but it never gets paid off. He gets kissed on the cheek or something. Doesn't count. Double doesn't count for Princess Ruto, who probably can't tell the difference between humans without consulting a textbook, and therefore would have gunned just as hard for Linkle's flattered, but terrified, hand in marriage.

Oh come on, you know that isn't the same thing, don't play dumb. Or do you really not know the difference?

That's just "launch game through steam". Gog is full on giving you credit for owning those games, you can download them from GOG from now on and never use Steam again if you wanted. Similarly it'd be cool if I could take the games I own on GoG and be able to download them from Steam if I wanted.

Anyway, I hope Zelda NX has a gender toggle at the beginning of the game so my girlfriend can make fun of me for playing as Linkle :j:

I started checking out of SS pretty early just when I realized they had made it so Zelda was also now the childhood friend that totally digs you. The game being sort of bad probably had way more with me not beating it though.
