It really is a piece of crap, and Gog just doesn't seem to care. I bring up something to be added and they tell me "It's a Beta". And? You can fix shit during a Beta using something called PATCHES!

Makes more sense but that is the answer I had to give to someone with your avatar.

0Grapher: What? Where?

Goodaltgamer: You brought this silly logic up, not me

0Grapher: You don't know what logic means and it shows in many of your posts.
Your silly logic:

It does not matter in the slightest what the original meaning of a word is
It does not matter if a dictionary recognizes that new meaning or not.

If YOU don't know what a dictionary is for and how to use proper grammar, meaning and similar it only shows YOU failed at school.

So you just have proven, that you don't know even the basics.

EDIT: I would like to contact your school and show them what you posted!!!!!!

Could you please tell me what you think "logic" means?
I can't see any problem with my logic there.

Where do you think the authors of a dictionary get the meanings of words from?

It is not up to me, the ball is in your court.

gunsynd: I have a prediction as Gog DL is not updated or cared about,that Galaxy will become
NON OPTIONAL.
GOG downloader's already dead. But hopefully they'll keep website downloads. Plus you can download backup copies through the client anyway, which is something it does well enough now for it to at least be able to replace GOG downloader.

It's just a question of when we'll be able to trust it to do more than that.

So what's your definition of logic?

Does it anywhere in your definition of a dictionary say that the information is complete?
Does it state anywhere how the meaning is determined?
Does it say what's even a word?

It is far more complicated than that.

It is not dead (yet) it is rather hidden.

If you go to your library and click on a game and then click on more you will see in the drop down GOG DOWNLOADER LINKS

This will get you to the downloader links...You can even do a right click to open this in a new tab ;)
I'm still using the GOG downloader i find it better then Galaxy, It also downloads at a faster speed.

Yeah, I know. But the thing is, what you've just described used to work. Now, at best, it works half the time. In software terms, that's pretty damn dead.

Me too, but I did have one installer (that I know of) that was corrupt so file verification doesn't seem to be great.
Is there like a command line option to run the integrity check on installers?

No it isn't.....

You even highlighted the most important part: reference

So where is your logic?

It does not matter in the slightest what the original meaning of a word is
It does not matter if a dictionary recognizes that new meaning or not.

You stated that a reference doesn't matter, what is this for a logic?

Your logic is flawed from the beginning.....

This is the reference and defines what a word means.....

I can't seem to find anything in the settings for that sort of thing.

For me it is still working.....

Maybe game specific?? Which games do you have problems with?

Goodaltgamer: snip
You think that what I have said is not logical.
To me, what I said seems completely logical. Therefore, I am not sure what you mean by logic.

There's something you call valid reasoning and (if you mean anything close to what I mean by logic) you should prove that my reasoning is either not valid, ignores important requirements for what I am saying or is not applicable.

Let me explain that no author of any dictionary has the authority to decide what's the true meaning of a word. What the authors do is to look at many samples of the language they describe and only describe what they see as best as they can.
It is impossible to describe everything and that means it is not a good idea to say every meaning that is not recognised in a dictionary does not exist.

What is more, there is no original meaning of a word. If at all there are many original meanings of a word that most probably have all been lost in the past. In fact, it is much more difficult than I explained here.
How do you determine the original meaning of a word? You can only do so very vaguely but the problem is that the original meaning probably wasn't vague.
