Yeah definitely fair enough. Lol thanks for the laugh about the icon though, sounds like something I'd do too.
I do think that Heroic is the perfect level of automatic vs manual for me. The only confusing bit for me is that if you specify an alternative executable, there's no way of launching anything else except that executable until you delete it out, even if you use the launch drop-down to pick something else. Every once in a while I have to juggle those because of a config utility or something, or even a mod installer that I want to run in the same prefix. It's little quirks that are annoying, but once I get things setup it's all moot anyhow.
