The Franz Kafka Game & Caravan - both Daedalic Entertainment (someone cares)

Count me in for Bloodsports.TV, and thanks for the GA @purpleamuletfiction
Caravan - I own. Pretty simple strategy game. Fun for the first few hours but then gets a bit repetitive. Good game.
Franz Kafka Game - I like the art style and the subject, but everything I've read about it tells me to avoid it like the plague.

Yes. Like Excel, except I use LibreOffice. So, nice for storing info. And you sort of already have the information structured when you need to scale up to a database (easy conversion).
I hope I never get to the point where I need a database to store my game library info. o_O

I keep track of all the games I own across all stores (+any emulated games) in Playnite. I can export the info to html if needed. Good enough for me.

Edit: Well, Playnite uses a database, but you know what I mean. It's a user friendly app.

:D I was more trying to motivate why spreadsheets might be preferable to .txt files. But once you got things in a database and know some codeing (& SQL) you have something very powerful and FLEXIBLE.

Yeah... I am not familiar with that app? I'll check it out.

Yeah, I see your point. I'm happy to go with an off-the-shelf solution like Playnite instead of reinventing the wheel. I don't have any super specific needs and my library isn't large enough to justify the effort of learning SQL/coding.

I agree that spreadsheets >> .txt files. At least they let you sort, filter, add notes in an organized way and copy/paste easily.
I use spreadsheets to store my extra keys and other random stuff.

Playnite is great, but I've talked about it before and I don't want to get on people's nerves by harping on it.

I remember when I was a young'en ::leans on his cane to stretch aching back:: I made my own version of an excel style spreadsheet ActiveX control because those thieving Microsoft bastards cannot be trusted with any kind of data.

Yep...those sure were the good old days 👴

::hobbles away from the BingBot on his cane:: :ROFLMAO:

Oh, boy; I need two posts! Thank you very much Vinka! And have a great week! (I will need to edit this post once I regain my ability "to speak" :D )
Five media items per post, pictures I believe limit at ten or by size.

You should crop the right side as well to make the pictures smaller, only really need to see

PRODUKT AKTIVERT!
SteamDB - Install - (insert game name)

🤷‍♂️
doesnt work in videos ads i think?
There is also a youtube option to shut off 'some' ads that was "ad-dead" recently, every time the TOS are updated something changes on the actual page...they are not just being polite to tell you.

Of course it also happens when massive changes in laws occur but usually all sites will be notifying you in that situation.

Explains why someones program got messed up by the youtube videos in my profile, oops :ROFLMAO:

💡 Finally, a worthy reason to dust off my real keyboard for a change 🤔 coder-sense tingling. Thanks peace

It complained about ten pictures being the maximum.

True, I'll have to see what that "looks like" though :)
