This is probably a very dumb question, but is there a way to access a list of all the GOGmixes that I partially see when I look at a game page?

I don't seem to see anything that allows me to search for a specific one, etc...

Thanks.

There is no such thing as a "GOG-Mix browser", or a "GOG-Mix hub".

There are several community wishlists asking for something like this, though: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/site#search=gogmix
As stated, there's no such thing. Until such a thing is implemented (don't hold your breath) the best you can do is use google like so:

gogmix site:gog.com

Hickory: As stated, there's no such thing. Until such a thing is implemented (don't hold your breath) the best you can do is use google like so:

gogmix site:gog.com
Or even using a username, game or mix title with site:gog.com/mix.

Examples:
[url=https://duckduckgo.com/?q=linux site:gog.com/mix]linux-related mixes[/url]: linux site:gog.com/mix
[url=https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=jazzpunk site:gog.com/mix]mixes with jazzpunk in them[/url]: jazzpunk site:gog.com/mix
[url=https://www.bing.com/search?q=%22maighstir says%22 site:gog.com/mix]mixes by me[/url]*: "maighstir says" site:gog.com/mix

The same works on most big search engines, tested Google, Duckduckgo, Bing, and Yahoo.

* When looking for mixes by a certain user, be sure to use "username says" rather than just "username", or you'll also get any mixpage where the name was mentioned in the "more GOGmixes" list when the search engine last cached the page - also, don't use any of my mixes, they haven't been updated for years.

I keep forgetting GOGmixes actually exist. People really look at them?

I could never find them before, but thanks to Magog now some appear in the search results.

Some are worth paying attention to such asfronzelneekburm's second class citizen mix. I check this one when looking at a game.

Not to forget the 'Games best played mouse in one hand, beer in the other'.
The beer industry would have disappeared without this one, I tell you.
We owe it that much.

It's my preferred search engine, I assume he just picked one example and ran with it. My examples above used a different one for each just to be inclusive.
GOGmixes are great if you want to browse games beyond their usual classification. Say you like noir games, then there might be a GOGmix for those regardless of the genre. Or maybe you're looking for games with a specific type of humour, or especially cheesy games ("so bad they re good").

Yeah, GOGmixes are a great idea, just a shame they're not advertised very well (well, they're barely advertised at all), or have any decent way of finding them (using an external search engine isn't acceptable as far as I'm concerned). GOG should have something similar to the public wishlist for GOGmixes, where you can choose to sort by highest rated, search for titles or games, or even search/organise by a tagging system like the one used on the shelf (show every mix tagged with "linux", "noir", or "so bad it's good").

I mean, it went completely haywire when they even removed the account page where you could see your own mixes. Either they've been planning to remove the mixes completely but have just been to lazy to bother (for what? a few years now?), or they have no idea what they're doing at all. Perhaps the guy who created the mix system has quit and no one now knows how it's mashed together, so they can neither add to it because they don't know how to talk to it or remove it in fear that something else breaks.

I think "they have no idea what they're doing" is probably the right answer.
