I think I might finally buy Portal 2.

Definitely get this game. The next time it's going to be guaranteed cheap is during winter sales, so quite a bit away.

I think I'm going to pick up InMomentum, and any other cheap game on my wishlist, since it's the last day.

Final damage is

The Witcher 2 $15.99

Far Cry 2 $2.49

Rage $9.99

Dead Space

Dead Space 2 $9.98 for both

Killing Floor $7.49

The Binding of Issac $1.24

Train Simulator 2012 $3.99

Payday The Heist $4.99

Just Cause 2 $3.74

I caved and bought Cities XL 2012 the other day off steam when it was on sale... thought it would be a good thing to hold me over till simcity 5, but after playing simcity my entire life, it just doesnt' feel right... the UI is garbage, but the city graphics are nice

Forgot to add Max Payne 1 and 2. Got them both for $3.74. I couldn't pass that up even I may not get to it for a while.

I amazingly did not purchase a single game, one because I realize I buy way to many new games on release, and two mainly because of my wrist issues I have to avoid using the computer whenever possible, so for better or for worse console gaming is now my main way of playing games. So I pretty much have already played every one of these games on the consoles.

I do need to check out the Binding Of Issac though, is that the new game from Team Meat Boy?

Yup. You run into a few easter eggs too with posters in Isaac of Super Meat Boy, among other things. :)

Great game! Have you tried getting a gamepad for the PC for your wrist?

Why not just hook up a controller to your PC? I find I do most of my gaming on a controller nowadays. The only exception being online FPS where you need KB+M accuracy or you're at a disadvantage.

Yeah I have a controller for sure, several actually from over the years, but at that point in time why not just sit on my couch and play the games on one of my consoles on my 55" TV?

Obviously the graphics look much better on the PC, and trust me I have hooked my gaming computer up to my TV here and there, but my wife just absolutely hates my gaming computer in our TV room as the tower I have is a beast of a Thermaltake. :laugh:

One of these days I was going to build a smaller more living room appropriate computer, but honestly for now as I said the consoles do pretty much suffice, except for FPS's, which I basically put up with the pain to play them on my computer whenever I can, as I definitely prefer a KB&M for them.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.
