No idea - I haven't fired up RA2 yet; though it WOULD be nice.  Still, I kinda doubt it (since Generals and ZH don't support 1080p, and they are newer than RA2).

You can edit the RA2.INI file to use custom resolution that didn't existed back in the early 2000s

Need for Speed - Most Wanted now free On The House... Grab it..

 

https://www.origin.com/en-in/store/free-games/on-the-house

Second trip through for MW - I grabbed it last year during a previous OTH stint.

 

That is also why HP 2010 is conspicuous by it NOT being offered.

I get that message when I have Adguard enabled. Just disable protection for a few seconds to load the page or go to the page via the actual Origin client.

A new Trial and a new On The House both drop today - Star Wars Battlefront (Trial) and Battlefield 4 Dragon's Teeth (On the House).  Looks like my weekend is going to be Real Busy.

Nox™ is fast faced action, set in a land filled with discovery and deceit.

An excellent action/RPG hybrid with very unique gameplay. Your name is Jack Mower, a 20th century dude who just happened to be sucked into the world...

Nox was a very good and fun game. I don't think it was published by MS. I had the game (physical retail boxe) and don't remember anything MS related in the presentation (intro video, boxe, etc ...). From what i can recall it was made by Westwood and i think EA bought the rights to all Westwood content a while back.

 

I own it on GoG already so i wont download it again.

The current Need for Speed (Trial) and Batlefield Hardline expansion Betrayal both hit On the House today - and the NFS trial crashes to the desktop.  When I had the Intel graphics drivers as the default, it complained that the drivers were too NEW (not too old).  In an unrelated development, Forza 6 Apex will NOT run in *hybrid mode* - it essentially thinks that any mode where you have both the Intel GPU and another GPU is hybrid mode.  I will test-run Apex again in *solo mode* (no discrete GPU in place at all) to see if this persists.

There is a bunch of DLCs and expansion packs that you can get for free. Even if you don't own the games you can still get then so that when you do buy the base game you can use the DLCs and expansion packs.

Indeed (not a trial - and likely part of the ME: Andromeda promotion) and it includes a ton of free content, too.  (Downloading as I type this.)

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
