Totally been feeding a hundred hours into that SDV listing as I just needed something cozy.
Now I'm finally moving ahead into Halls of Torment.

My kids have recently gotten into Harry Potter, and they love Lego, so this bundle comes JUST IN TIME for me :D

Just tested it and works like a charm!
Installed 22 mods, warned about two incompatible ones, I found replacements for each, applied and played! YAY!

GOG will purge your Cloud Saves that hit over 200MB

In comparison to Steam, they have no specific limit for each game.
I do NOT believe that this is true. If I open the "Properties" for Soulstice, for example, I see this:
STEAM CLOUD
The Steam Cloud stores information so your product experience is consistent across computers.
Keep games saves in the Steam Cloud for Soulstice [On/Off]
158.46 KB stored / 49.85 MB available

The amount "stored" / "available" varies by installed game.

Edit: Oh wait, I think I misunderstood the article. I think the article means that GOG has no "different" Limit per each game, but a flat 200 MB for each game, whereas in Steam one game may have 50 MB and another 2 GB cloud storage.

Quoting: blindcoderWill it ever get proper PLAYER documentation? Like what to do early, mid, late game? How to get X, Y, Z resource? You know, stuff that kids want to know when playing.
Since the game was focused on offering the same experience Minecraft had, our little help system (the "?" icon in the player inventory) mostly focused on the details that are particular to the engine it's built upon. That means the Minecraft wiki largely applies to our game, and many "first day" tutorials about Minecraft work just the same.
Thank you for this information! THAT is what I'd have needed to know a lot sooner. I've never played Minecraft, ever. And, well, the title bar in the Minetest launcher literally says "It's NOT Minecraft" so when trying to search for Mineclone tutorials, I completely skipped the Minecraft ones, because of course I did.

I'll probably dive back into the game soon then! Much love for all the work!

There's a basic version of that on the Minetest wiki [External Link], though it's still under the old "MineClone 2" name right now.
Thanks, I know that one, but it's, well, better than nothing, but just barely. I've spent in-game days (well, nights, really) holed up in a shed waiting for night to pass, because there was nothing else to do except go out and die because there's a dozen archers, several spiders and an exploding enemy or three.
Much, much later I learned that if you're lucky you can find sheep and if you're luckier still you can find a smidge of iron to craft shears and THEN make a bed. Maybe, I don't know, never found sheep.

More consolidation, less diversity, more of the same-same everywhere.
Really makes me want to support GoL directly. Oh wait... I JUST STARTED DOING THAT!

Absolutely, Starfield has pretty much zero innovation. It's a decent game, but innovation is not part of it, at all.
