Uncommon Ubisoft associated W (Ubisoft is a French company so its not surprising TBH)

I cant wait until the European/Mexican/Chinese parts that I order from the USA that always arrive with a customs declaration of Origin:USA … starts biting me in the ass because of their ignorance and Canadian Customs tries to hit me with Tariffs that shouldnt apply.

the better option is to just stop doing business with American shops. and thats what I’ve chosen, the USPS and Canadian Postal service are both such shitholes, that I have legitimatley recieved stuff from the UK, Poland and Denmark faster than I’ve recieved stuff fom Illinois and Iowa , in the orders I’ve made this year. For small things too.

still susceptible to disc rot

someone else here suggested that the source code for TS/RA2 was lost. which wouldnt surprise me.

These are games that were made when and before the Zoomers were being born. they are ancient by most people’s standards.

its odd that they open sourced Generals and the first CNC and Red Alert, but nothing in between.

CNC3 was my favorite, and I’ll die on that hill . but RA2 was obivously the fan favorite, and Tiberian Sun had probably the best atmosphere

I dont think you understand how “Amazon” exists as we know it.

Amazon, the store. the store that sells stuff at “unbeatable” prices and has convenient fast shipping options. exists because Amazon, the corporation, makes most of its money through platforms that are NOT the store.

for example the AWS division, which handles web hosting, Makes money hand over fist compared to the store. so they can afford to sell stuff at either a loss, or breaking even. (and they’re still somehow making money off the ordeal. dont ask me where)

Its hard to make a competitor to Amazon because you’d need a surrogate company constantly feeding it money to stay afloat. Amazon the store, is a facade of a larger corporation

the fact that theres an argument in favor of that is insane. but its where we are.

I’m Canadian, I spent the last 3 years mentally numbing myself and accepting the possibility that we could formally be at war with Fascist Russia in my lifetime, it’s not that much of a gear shift to use that same consideration that there could be a war with a Fascist American faction too. Except the whole, My country turns into Frozen Iraq and has to deal with an American occupation. (Chechnya without the beards?)

Nah, there’s gonna be bodies on both sides if they think they’re gonna try any of that shit. Something the KKK Nazi Russian Mafia lover fucks forgot, they aren’t the only ones packing heat.

the shitposter in me wants to say that this isn’t a problem you find a solution to, its karma for doing business with the devil.

I bought an older VR set from my boss at the time, played Alyx and Blade&Sorcery for a week or two. dont get me wrong, VR is awesome. but its a toy. an expensive, gimmicky toy . the fun passes after a while and soon enough you end up putting it on the shelf.

My money is on VR related toys again. I have a slightly better feeling about HL3 than I have had in years but I’m old enough to know better

I also, don’t care anymore. As far as I’m concerned the industry is getting ready to crash. I’m divesting a lot from. It.

idk what’s worse. the punchline of this joke, with pre-existing elites not being taxed, or the fact that someone could look at recieving 420 million, and find an excuse to get mad about it

i mean I get that, but what I was saying was the original purpose of the store became an afterthought.

GOG was good for acquiring and re-releasing OLD GAMES. somewhere along the way they decided they wanted to compete with the big platforms and be “We’re just like them but without DRM”

I haven’t used GOG for years, they allowed me to relive a few of my old adolescence favorites, but stopped being useful to me a long time ago :/

They released the rest of the kill zone stuff for free

fair nuff

They are end of life now and have ceased production, but if you can manage to find a 5800X3D , that CPU is the definition of sleeper. I had a 5700X I think it was, and the performance boost was f***ing unreal, I expected meagre gains, I saw 20 to 50% performance increase on many games. if you’re into that kind of thing. if you see one for sale, seriously think about grabbing it.

its the whole reason aside from the OS issue, Im not even remotely worried about the next few years, it can compete with the high end stuff of the AM5 generation still. unreal.

might have been a deal. some retailers are dumb and think lower number means worse, so discount justified. lol
