Sorry, there apparently was a second mail the joining party needed to confirm, works now! 👍 😎 😋

I just enabled family share with my wife, but none of us has the games of the other?
And there is no hint of why?

Sounds fair enough, and not a problem here.

OK sounds like we should try it out.
Funny you mention Oblivion, because that’s one of the games I don’t have, but my wife does.

Can we just declare us family members and then have access to each others libraries?

I don’t see how family share solves anything, I looked it up a few years ago, and it seemed pretty useless.
What exactly does family share do that is actually useful?

Edit:
We have tried it now, and yes now you can actually play games owned by other family members.
I’m pretty sure that the current functionality wasn’t available last I read about it on Steam.
Now it does what you’d expect from the name.

I agree that’s not a good way for steam to handle it.
Seems to me that as long as it’s on the same global IP address which indicate it’s the same household, it should be considered OK.
But I do understand why they don’t want to do what Netflix did originally, where people could share accounts without limit.

It’s hard to say, it doesn’t seem like the CEO of Apple being openly gay has detracted from the popularity of the brand.
And as we have seen with Elon Musk and Tesla, an unpopular CEO definitely can detract from the popularity of a brand.
There has been no such reaction against Apple.
So my guess is, that it is possible, but it obviously depends on the candidate.

If you had asked a few years before Obama was elected if a colored president would be possible, I would probably have guessed no. But Obama proved it was in fact possible when he got elected in 2008.

I think if the right person comes along, he or she can win disregarding color sexuality or gender.
Of the 3, it seems to me that currently not being a man is probably the biggest handicap.

But in time politics will be dominated by women, the trend where I live (Denmark) is pretty clear, women will most likely dominate within a few decades. Just recently all the Scandinavian Prime ministers were Women. To me that was a very clear sign of a trend towards more women in politics, and more women gaining leading positions too.

We also had a gay man as a pretty popular leader of the conservatives of Denmark. So it is not much of a stretch to say a gay man could absolutely become Prime Minister here. No issue whatsoever.
USA might be a bit harder, but not impossible.

Yes, but that goes only for infant animals, infant animals generally look cute to most predators, to give them a chance to survive if they are detected by a predator.
But I think the question is meant to go further than that, because animals can become part of our group as adults too. And will help rescue and protect in a situation of disaster, and will also be rescued and protected. For those animals the love goes deeper than just looks.

True, but you can have similar emotions towards wild animals.

It’s probably mostly a side effect of our ability to feel love for each other.
As a group animal we have an instinct to protect each other that is born from love, that instinct help us survive as a group. The pet is included and can become part of the group maybe even family.
This trait has also helped us build relations with some animals that have historically been beneficial to our survival, like dogs horses and farm animals. For less immediately “useful” pets, the instinct is the same, and although it doesn’t serve the same purpose, it may be helpful psychologically to overcome hardship, and maybe tie the group together more closely.

To use the wrong gender on purpose is derogatory, not recognizing the person you are talking to. Or at least most would probably consider it that way.
So the answer would obviously be a very strong no. At worst you may ruin someones day, at best you just look like an idiot.

I played a bit with Suse around 2000, but I switched to Linux as my main OS with Ubuntu in 2005.
Now I use Manjaro, because I like the rolling release concept, and it’s easy to use different kernels, and it’s a good KDE distro IMO.
In my experience it’s also among the best for Steam games.

I had some difficulty finding out the content of the Deluxe, so I probably clicked too much around, the icons are the same for the Deluxe and Summer edition for me? Probably because I have Morrowind and Skyrim on Steam but not Oblivion.

It’s weird it’s so hard to find the details on the “includes nine expansions” on Steam. Normally there are descriptions. But it only says for instance “Fighter’s Stronghold Expansion” with no information on it that I can see?

PS: One of the cool things about original Oblivion, is that it allows you to play the Nehrim total conversion. Although I can see it has huge problems on Steam. But I played it when the English version came out, and IMO it is as good as the original game.

I never played an SSI game, the first RPG game I played was Might and Magic Clouds of Xeen. Which I found to be an absolutely amazing game.
I live in Europe (Denmark) I don’t think AOL was ever a thing here, we did have Compuserve for a few years until Internet made it irrelevant.

AOL: Do you mean Amarica On Line?

I only played it years later on Linux. Smooth as butter. 😎
I was not aware there was an SSI game with the same name, I suppose that’s what you meant by AOL?

Absolutely, I know I programmed 8 bit graphics in assembly on the C64, and played with the custom chips of the Amiga in assembly too. fun times 😋
I was pissed that you couldn’t write off computers faster than 3 years, because in 3 years a computer was completely obsolete IMO, as in basically useless. Up until at least around when the GeForce 256 came out in 1999. After that 3 years was still old, but not completely useless.

Nowadays things have stabilized

I agree, nowadays it doesn’t matter much (IMO) to have a GPU that is a couple of years old. Admittedly I only use QHD/1440p. To render the same in 4K requires a 2.4 times more powerful GPU.

But oh boy when Voodoo, Voodoo2 came out, and then TNT, TNT2 and GeForce. Those were a lot of major upgrades in just 3 years. (1996-1999)

ancient Gamebryo tech.

Oh boy how time flies…
But wouldn’t that mean it’s made by the Elders themselves?

I 100% agree, I liked the original graphics, the remake while it is pretty, is also a bit boring IMO.
