Saw the WASD in the OP and thought this might be relevant to putting in the first post.

Kick ass. (Y)

That was designed and made into an old school animated gif by yours truly. :punk:

I am definitely all for putting it in the first post if Anaron is into it. That would definitely be very cool, although I designed it for use by myself originally, I am more than happy and in fact honored if people want to use it for their own use.

I strongly recommend Batman: Arkham Asylum. (Y)

I have put the game off for quite a while now. It only has 10-12 hours of gameplay and is very linear. I played the demo and didn't think the game would be worth it until getting it from the bargain bin or some crazy Steam holiday sale for less than $10.

Not to derail this thread with discussion but my Steam says I have 18 hours in the game. That's with only playing the challenge modes for no more than an hour or two at most.

I just picked up Oblivion: Game of the Year edition for $8.49. :3

Morrowind is on sale for $5 and Fallout 3 GOTY is going for $25.

I was thinking about buying that for the last week or two. I'm glad I waited. :laugh:

Steam link for those interested:

I've seen Metro 2033 in a couple of places here (a supermarket and an indie shop) for a penny under a tenner (that's £9.99 for anyone unable to understand that lol) so I dare say it'll be dropping to that price pretty much everywhere soon, even on steam. Main reasons would be less that stellar reviews and widespread problems with game mechanics actually breaking gameplay from time to time I'd assume.

Where did you get the link from showing you all the deals?

4 games there I want, not sure if I should get Dead Space now or wait for a Dead Space pack same with Mass Effect, I really hope it's not just CC4 Tiberium Twilight, RA3 and CC3, would be good if they decided to add the last decade pack to steam.

I'm tempted to get BFBC2, should I?

I got it for $17 from a Chinese ebay seller. It was a EA Digital Download so I simply turned the downloaded files into an .iso so I can install the game whenever I want with the key I bought. I mentioned it a few weeks ago. $33 is still too high in my opinion since there is an expansion pack coming out this winter so there will be a Bad Company 2 GOTY edition or "Complete Edition" next year or so.

/~50 hours played

Someone modified the steam links (replace Monday with Tuesday, etc.) and posted the image on another site I frequently visit. Steam purposely does this and has done this with recent deals.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
