Games

Gray Matter
So, remember* when I found a new way to play non-Mac games on my Mac, and reinstalled this because it runs better that new way? Well, I wondered if whatever differences made it run better overall were also causing the progress bug I had yesterday.** So I re-reinstalled it the original way and, hurrah, it worked: I played for all of 30 seconds just to get past the bug (it took a few hours of effort to get it installed before that, hence not playing more). Next time I can continue in the works-better version, and thus I have the best of both worlds (handily, they both accessed the same save game files, so I didn't even have to faff with moving those around). One thing I won't be doing is uninstalling either copy, just in case I need the less-good one for something like this again.

* Of course you don't. Or maybe you do, because "you" is me, the only person who reads this. Anyway...

** See the final few sentences at the end of the last paragraph in that overlong post.
