Didn't get any new games last wintersale, but this time I actually bought a few, and all of them works perfectly fine for me with Cachy Proton.

• Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown


• Assassin's Creed: Mirage, Valhalla


• Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hell


• Men of War: Assault Squad 2


• Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands


• Company of Heroes 3

Those will hopefully keep me going next year !

Quoting: BrandonGeneIt's shocking to me that none of these big companies have made the realization of "Hey, you know what would go over really well? Committing to NOT adopting AI in our product." Out of anyone, it should've been Mozilla.

Other companies: Lost in a dumpster fire,
Steam: Does nothing -- Win

Does this meme will ever be not true?

the game is in the GOG Winter Sale so it's 75% off as well.

Pretty hefty base price for a game from 2019, though.

Opt-out is always wrong, bad and the incorrect path to take, you clueless sack of wine overpaid CEO.

Mozilla just cannot stop themselves from making the worst choices at any given opportunity. Doubling down for bonus Torment Nexus points.

Quoting: Cley_Faye

Quoting: doragasuToo late, today I switched to LibreWolf after literally DECADES of loyalty, and everything is working great, I'm not going back unless things change A LOT.

There is a fundamental problem with depending on a *Firefox* fork to alleviate potential Firefox issues.
If the upstream (Firefox) starts messing up with a lot of features that used to work fine but are now entangled with unwanted bloat, each fork have to do more work to untangle the mess. And, when the upstream codebase inevitably starts to deviate too much, maintaining the fork gets exponentially tedious. It's not like LibreWolf's devs said "I want no AI and tracking" and poof, it's done.

If the worst happen and the cleaned up Firefox forks have to completely separate from the upstream, then any future improvement (and that would include spec conformance and fixes) will have to be manually cleared again and backported from a source tree that's more and more distinct over time. I have no idea about the resources available to LibreWolf, but that would end up meaning maintaining the whole thing instead of a fork. That's a big task.

You are completely right, but currently I think it's my best option. I absolutely don't want a Chromium based browser. In an ideal world, Servo would be production ready and I could switch to that. But it's not there.

You know what, Mozilla? I will compromise with you. Since it is optional anyway then you can add AI if you really want as a part of another browser that will not be named "Firefox".

I got The Drifter after @Eike's recommendation, Unavowed, and the Joe Richardson's trilogy; Four Last Things, The Procession to Calvary and Death of the Reprobate.

Expedition 33 and Indiana Jones will have to wait until I can play them on the desktop or when they release the Definitive Edition. Or if I win Christmas' lottery 😅

I'd been tempted when it was on sale on Fanatical recently, so I couldn't resist Dead Island 2 Ultimate for $7.

Quoting: Bumadar

Quoting: CentrisToo late. Already got rid of FF.

Maybe I am of an older generation, but why this on/off view?
Mozilla says they going to do AI in the future somewhere, it's not clear exactly how or what this exactly means or how it will be incorporated but you drop it like a hot potato and suddenly overnight they are evil.
The world is many shades of gray, not just black and white, see how it onfolds and then take a decision.

It's part of the zeitgeist. Everything is black and white. There is no middle-ground on anything from politics, conflicts, tech or weird celebrity comments.

Truth is there is no new information here compare to the previous statement from Mozilla. AI should be optional and easy to turn off.

Okay, you got me, i'll buy it finally.
(Either this or i have to do the ashlands in Valheim solo, so... easy choice)

It's not on/off. In my case, it started years ago when they decided to install an extension to serve Mr. Robot ads, and that snowball has been rolling until now, one bad decision after other. I have been seriously considering switching for months, this has been the tipping point for me.

Quoting: SlayerTheChikken

Quoting: no_information_hereb) Vivaldi has made a public no-AI statement. I prefer FF, but a good alternative is sitting there waiting.

I would be careful about Vivaldi as the CEO has made some weird political statements in the past - though I'm no longer able to find any of them at all potentially due to search being scrubbed, as for Proton (this being relevant because Vivaldi ships free Proton VPN) I'm not sure of it sometimes but personally I don't use their services except email.

I don't think so. The CEO of Vivaldi is Jon von Tetzchner, who was one of the original founders of Opera. I have never heard anything but positive comments from him.

You are probably thinking of the CEO of Brave, Brendan Eich. While he is skilled, he has been caught in a number of controversial positions.

Or, maybe you are thinking of the CEO of Proton, Andy Yen. Yes, he said some stupid things during covid, but I won't blame Vivaldi for that.

It's sad because I'm pretty sure that Mozilla should have surveyed their users before going all-in on AI.

This way they might have seen that their users don't need these AI features.

Better yet, the surveys may have pointed what the users actually want, and might even have lead to a community-driven roadmap.

Instead of that, Mozilla is having as many bad ideas as they have new CEOs...

Quoting: Renzatic Gear

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI was not expecting Vivaldi.

No one ever does.

You saying the Spanish Inquisition use him as their sound track?

…would you expect it? Of course not!

Which makes you wonder, if you expect them to do something unexpected, does it mean they should do something you’d suspect, simply because you wouldn’t be expecting the expected?

They say focus on tactical battles but it didn't really look all that tactical in the trailer.

some of those assets seems like they were draw on top of assets from pokémon or rpg maker...
or that they havent even changed anything on the original assets...
i wonder if this game is free from copyright violation or it might be taken down at any moment...

I apologize to my fellow community members for not reading the whole of this thread (only about 0.5 of the first page 😔). I'd still like to perform a mid devil's advocate routine here. (I hope I will see any replies even if I unsubscribe the rest/whole thread.)

First of all, many people live in different (social) media bubbles than we do. To them AI *is* the next big thing. And missing that train is like not getting on board with agriculture, the printing press, the industrial revolution or the internet (totally plausible). Many people do not see it for the bubble that you do. Some of such people might be in FF upper management, board of directors, hedge funds or idk what their whole tree of stakeholders are.

Secondly, it's hard being FF:

• When they try something new that others aren't doing - people complain.


• When they try nothing new - people complain.


• When they try something new that everyone else is doing - people complain.

Many of their horrible crimes I saw listed, they do for the evil that is money to pay for the developers to maintain *your* browser. Someone somehow has to invest enough effort. How would you attain that effort within capitalism? Maybe volunteer effort can maintain a modern secure browser fully - I guess we'll find out if FF go bust.

I still remember when many Linux threads (I was on Reddit back then 😅) were full of hatred and vitriol for SystemD ruining Linux/Unix. Alas, when push came to shove, it turned out that the chamber I was in was not filled with the shouts of people backed with effort or even money to fund a fork. It existed, but it was not this mass uprising the echo made it seem.

I, too, don't want AI in my browser. I, too, find AI trained on stolen work utterly unethical. I, too, find AI "assistance" garbage. [Until one of these days it might suddenly not be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE610X3weik). None of us know what the present reality is, even less so the future.

I'm not asking to confiscate your pitchforks. Anger at perceived line crossed is adaptive and fair, harm though - exceedingly rarely so. I'm only asking you remember that each of the employees at FF is a person. And it is far too easy for an anonymous mob to harm real people with their anger. You might not send death-threats, doxx, or worse... but your words might incite someone less socially adjusted to do so. Maybe you can put some tennis balls on your pitchforks somehow 👩‍🌾🥎

Quoting: StellaI should get through my massive backlog before buying anything new 😆

Especially since at least some of these will be cheaper next year. No rush.

Unless, of course, there's grounds to expect a "remaster" which is in fact a downgrade that also involves the superior original release getting delisted. Curious times we live in, yes?

That said, I grabbed Kingdom Come 2 when I still need to finish 1. That's a "support the devs" case for me. Unique voice, hope they make more games.

Otherwise, I liked what I played of Hollow Knight and will get back to it someday, but I'm not that into the idea of a harder sequel so I have zero interest in Silksong. I do really like the devs, though, so if I do finish Hollow Knight and feel up for more...

Expedition 33 just doesn't look appealing to me with its absurdly high concept idea and silly art style, and the combat system isn't helping its case. Also, I'm now sick of it just by existing on the Internet. Wouldn't be fair to the game if I played it in the height of the furor. Maybe a 70% off for me, but I'd need to run out of games to play AND be starved for jrpgs (of which I have a healthy - and growing - backlog) even then.

Dispatch - don't care.

The shooty thing I already forgot the title of - ...

Basically what I'm saying is that I seek to incur the wrath of the Dorito Pope.

I'll take my usual approach to the Steam Awards -- vote for anything with Linux support, ignore any categories which don't have a viable vote option.

I think the only games I played from 2025 were Civilisation VII (pants), and Little Sim World (alright, but very early access.)

Split-Fiction has been my favourite game to come out of 2025, just finished it today with my partner

Runs great, and is even better then it takes-two, it's really refreshing to play a game like this in 2025, so many unquie and fun set pieces, twists and turns. I really wish more games like this were made today!

I might pick up Lego Skywalker saga over the sale to continue with that splitscreen/couch co-op fun

IMHO the issue with Firefox "adopting AI" is way overblown. Yes, AI is not great (especially if it's done with speculative bubble and cash burning by big-tech) and it's questionable ethics wise but… sometimes it's usefull and people do use it…

Also what's the alternative? Crappy reskins of chromium? :/

At least Mozilla seems to listen and reacted to the backlash. Imagine google doing that…

The thing about xbox controller is so annoying… they are way better than the PS ones and I love the quality (MS had made really great pheriperials in the past) but the need to use windows to updated it makes me furios… I can't wait for valve controllers to arrive!

I bought Flick Shot Rogues earlier this month since it was on sale until today. Figured it wouldn't get an even bigger discount immediately after since it's a recent release. Guess what!

That'll be it for me this season, not much time to play.

This is when the follow up part of my game, Don't Hurt My Wallet!, kicks in; having been on the fence about certain games, when sales on them kick in and I'm still on the fence, I don't really want it and remove it from my Wishlist. Your wallet and inability to choose a game to play will thank you!
