'Great deals throughout the store - up to 80% off through January 3rd!'

I read that as 'daily deals up until January 3rd, US time'.

In other words: There should be another set of deals tomorrow.

Morrowinds awful, I don't get why people prefer it to oblivion. It's so clunky and muffled. :p

Hopefully tomorrows final deals will actually be good.

It's cheap and in a downloadable format for anyone who played the game for tens or even hundreds of hours. It's a "vintage" pc game with one of the strongest mod communities ever to grace a game.

I tried to buy Mass Effect about an hour and a half before the deal ended, and Steam gave me an error in paying, either by credit card or Paypal. And I kept trying until the deal ended :/ I should have bought it yesterday. A bit annoying, but I can wait until a similar deal for it comes along.

Morrowwind is now mine.

Kinda mad. I bought the Crysis pack.. and it keeps doing this:

I actually had that same exact problem with a game on Steam cause my PC did not like the Nvidia drivers I was using. Was simple as that. I went back to the last older version and problem solved. I then installed the newer ones again and never had the error message again. So seemed to be just a weird little bug.

Also with that said, if that is your screenshot and not just one you found of the error message, I could not help but notice it seems like you are using older drivers if that is the version number of your drivers. They are officially on 195 for WHQL. Might want to see what happens if you update your drivers.

If anyone is curious on learning how to modernize Morrowind and make it look like Oblivion, then here's a very helpful link:

Damn, that is actually pretty cool. I love how much care the community puts into making mods for the Elder Scrolls games. Reminds me of all the mods and texture packs that came out for Oblivion as well.

I just saw Red Alert 3 for $10.19. That is certainly tempting, even if I will inevitably get destroyed online :).

Looks to me like the old nvlddmkm error is rearing its head again

My 8800GT had this problem 2 weeks ago when it died. Getting that error in the screenshot, random blue screens, and tons of artifacts when trying to load any game/3D application. It eventually got worse and was locking up my PC and i was getting artifacts on my desktop. Temporarily installed a 9400GT and everything works fine, same drivers.

Got approved for an RMA from eVGA, so just waiting on a replacement. ;)

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
