    Valve to Face Antitrust Lawsuit Over Steam Gaming Platform

    A specific example is Weber grill. Try to hunt for a discount that grill is the same price everywhere to the penny. Sure you can get a free assembly or a free tank of gas but the price is fixed.

    Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?

    Ultima Exodus for NES. This game had me graphing maps and keeping a journal. I was playing one night and suddenly heard my mom coming down the stairs. I glanced at the clock.... WHAT!?! I checked it out again. CRAP, no time to save. I unplugged the video cable covered the tattle tail red led of...

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    Hey, I filled out this survey when GN asked. It was a quick google doc. I wondered whatever happened with that.

    Have you ever wondered if video games have a negative impact on your life?

    Video games have been great for me, I have only accidentally ran into one person in the office. In games I have been trained starting pulling the trigger if I see a shadow behind a blind corner. In real life I know to stop asap as not to spill my coffee over the person. The only time I ran into...

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    I hate typing this but: Instead of subscribing to a PC (too much freedom), you subscribe to a game instance on a docker. This way you log into the game and not the PC you would not have access to the PC. The entire instance is immutable. They will sell it as "no need to install" and "no more...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    I ended up using Amazon for my Thermaltake Tsunami. Searched for "screws for hdd with anti vibration" Measured my existing screws, compared it to the size on zon, it was not perfect but it worked. I am including this specific link because the 3rd pic made me chuckle...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    My fault for not reading a 80 page TOS the redefines the words like purchase and buy and to find out the game requires a launcher. (Looks at my steam library nervously with all the games I don't own, but paid in a store with a cart that used to use buy). I know, I will play only buy GOG games...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    I don't want my games to stop working. I don't care who made them. I don't care if it is the 1800th anno, I bought it, I enjoy playing it more than other annos.

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    No, I am just tired. I am tired of my perfectly working stuff break because a company decided they want me to buy a new one. I am tired of my hardware not working because it was cheaper to make it connect to a proprietary cloud. I am tired of people defending this behavior. Steam killed the...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    My wife showed interest in Anno, so I was thinking about buying her a copy. But I don't want what happened to my 2k21 PGA game, where the whole reason I bought it was to play with my friends on line. Then they changed the term of the sale, removed the ability to play with friends. (I know, I...

    Ubisoft posts record $1.7 billion loss for 2025-26 financial year

    Weird to hope your games stop working... Anyway since no one mentioned them I liked Watchdogs and am currently playing Anno 1800. I hate the launcher/DRM but since I gave up on them sometime last year for a shitty launcher (I have 1 to 2 hours to play games not to play troubleshoot a launcher...

    Bipartisan Bill Would Impose New Annual Fee on Electric Vehicles

    Stop subsidizing gasoline, use that money for the roads. (this is a joke to make you think).

    Google Changes Its Search Box for the First Time in 25 Years

    Hang in there [H], I saw an AI summary and noticed the hardform.com was a source. If AI companies, people, keep the info up-to-date and are always scraping forums, it will kill forums. (My limited understanding is the scraping is costly to the forums that get slammed by AI using up bandwidth but...

    Bipartisan Bill Would Impose New Annual Fee on Electric Vehicles

    My road needed work, they blamed my sump pump that ran 2 times in 20 years because "it ruined the road by getting it wet" (I asked about the rain and they chose to ignore the question.) So because of my sump pump I pay an extra 5 dollars a month in my water bill. WTF are my taxes for if not to...

    WTB: New or used Thermaltake Core P5 case

    30ish years ago, we had a local glass guy cut a piece of glass (worth a shot, if [H] can't not produce for you?) I would be very specific, when getting the quote with the rounded corners and thickness and tempered glass, I am not sure what else to request but I suspect edges should be soften...
