^Nice! That's a great game!

EDIT: I have a copy of R:TW, but the CD Key didn't work. As a consequence, I have never played it online. I think I'm going to buy a copy through Steam; since it's so inexpensive, at the moment. That will save me some trouble.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I just bought Rome: Total War Complete Edition for $2

Hmph. Rome: Total War Complete Edition is 14.99 ? here, Rome: Total War Gold Edition 3.24 ?.

Good deals (one of which I am going to buy), but still significantly more than what you pay in the US and Canada.

I picked up the THQ pack during the Thanksgiving sale, even though I already owned several of their games. I figured I'd be able to gift out the games I already had to friends. This isn't the way it works though. Instead they cheat you out of the games you've purchased: instead of having 2 copies of the game that you paid for, you only get one. Valve actually did this when Orange Box came out (you could gift the games you already had in the set). I wrongly assumed this was going to be the case again, and that I was getting what I paid for.

Really a great bait and switch, when you think it over.

Here's the canned response you get if you ask them about it:

Thank you for contacting Steam Support. Extra copies are not given for duplicate game purchases unless explicitly stated otherwise. For more information on Extra Copies and qualifying products, please read the following link: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article...=4502-TPJL-2656 If you have any further questions, please let us know.

I'm seriously thinking of getting RE5 as it costs RM85 at the moment instead of RM179 but is it worth it? I enjoyed RE4 and I wanted to get RE5 but it was too expensive at the time.

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
