This thread is huge and when I searched in this section I only found old or irrelevant threads/posts.

So, now I'm asking.

From what I understand, the Bronze version is the same as the retail version, except that the retail version requires you to put in the CD to be able to play.

It seems that they won't change that since they don't want to screw even more with Vivendi.

You get Counter-Strike Source and Deathmatch with the bronze version so I assume that you get that with the retail version too.

But, Valve will port Team Fortress Classic later (Gabe said so), so I'm wondering, do you guys think that it will be availible in the retail version?

(Team Fortress 2 and TFC source are who different games)

For those who have never seen Team Fortress at all, it is CTF with player classes. You pick a class instead of weapons.

So CTF will pretty much kill the fun in TF.

Also, how long does it take to buy the games over Steam? It says that the purchase will be taken care of immediately but how long does it take?

I think I want the Steam version instead of the retail version. The whole house can explode and I'll still have my game.

Like this...

All I did was update my motherboard bios to the latest version, reinstall the same drivers I was using for my graphics card 9500pro, and it's quality now.

running better than ever.

I just beat it and I must say... The ending was rather disappointing.

Everything from the beginning to the final chapter was excellent. However the final chapter and battle was... eh...

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.
