Good God that camera bump is hideous.

Have seen them in all of my regional banks in my area.

Totally with you here and ready to die on this hill. I dread the day my Chromecast Ultra croaks.

That's my dream.

Pretty sure they can't bundle it. AFAIK the libraries required for it ship with Chrome / Android and it's not an open standard. The hacky weird workarounds are people brute forcing it.

According to the devs on Twitter the PSN account is not required for single player -- only if you want to use the Legends multiplayer mode.

According to their Twitter account it's only required for online legends access. Single player requires no account

I think more accurately would be the Division mixed with Far Cry in space. Kinda like the new Avatar from Massive as well.

Wow. That battery looks truly terrible.

Don't have to wait long, it'll be here in May

I'm playing it now on PC and it's an amazing port. Looks great, runs beautifully with tons of options. 20h or so in now and very pleased

In the US pronunciation the "h" is silent in "herb" so "an" is used as the following sound is a vowel. "an herb" in US English is correct

Also a surface go 2 (and previously 1) owner and love it. Form factor is just right. If there are recommendations for other things of the same build quality but faster with better battery life I'm all ears. Don't want to be gimped by an iOS tablet. Never had a problem with the hardware.

Chart is a little misleading starting at 7% instead of zero, but still a nice surge nevertheless.

Helpful, but not what I'm looking for personally. I want to be logged into the same account, just have groups of tabs related to different tasks I'm working on. Could be documentation for various frameworks or tooling related to whichever language I'm working on. Chrome had this and it worked great.

Finally. Have made the switch over to Firefox a few months ago and this almost made me switch back. I swap context a lot at work / home so being able to group (and minimize said group) tabs helps a lot.

Now on Steam

Edit: You're thinking of the remaster. This is the packaging / bundle of all the old games that came out in 2012 that was exclusive to Origin.

Store page does not list Origin as a dependency, but I can't know for certain

While they remain mostly unchanged from the Origin version, it does include some updates to the map editors to make them work in 2024.

See here for some comments from the producer that made it happen:

Dear C&C Community,

It’s been a few years since I had the opportunity to reach out and engage with you directly. I’ve truly missed that. I hope you have all stayed safe, healthy, and positive since my last post in September of 2020.

I realize many of you have been wondering about the status of Command & Conquer over the past several years. After the launch of the first C&C Remastered Collection, I told our Community Council I would continue to try and find opportunities to support the C&C community and franchise wherever possible. With that in mind, I do have an announcement we think the entire C&C Community can get excited about. The C&C Ultimate Collection is now live on Steam

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/39394/Command__Conquer_The_Ultimate_Collection/

How did this come to happen? Well, a while back I heard some team members at EA had the desire to launch some of our classic titles on Steam. After hearing about this initiative, several of us proposed we include the C&C Ultimate Collection. We knew this has been a request of the C&C community for over a decade, and has been an equal goal of us passionate C&C folks around the company. As such, a dedicated strike team here at EA has been pushing to make this a reality - but we knew we couldn't do it alone. So in the spirit of our community collaboration from the Remastered Collection, we reached out to a small group of the C&C Community to understand how we could best deliver the Ultimate Collection on Steam.

The feedback and collaboration has once again been invaluable. With improvements like better compatibility for modern operating systems and additional supported languages for both the Steam and EA App versions, we believe this is the best release of the Ultimate Collection to date.

Alongside the launch of the Ultimate Collection on Steam, we are also excited to announce the release of the beloved map editors FinalSun and FinalAlert 2 under the GPL version 3.0 license, which can also be launched directly from the Steam version of Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. Now over 20 years since their initial release, original creator Matthias Wagner has generously repackaged these classic editors into a more compatible version for 2024. This was achievable thanks to the technical collaboration with Luke "CCHyper" Feenan,>!!< and the kindness of Olaf van der Spek, who has graciously released his XCC Library under the GPL 3.0 license as part of this effort. We cannot thank Matthias, Luke, and Olaf enough for making this a reality for the C&C community, and are eager to see where the tools and content creation go from here.

A huge thank you to the community playtesters who helped provide feedback on this version of the Ultimate Collection, and the organizations of CnCNet, W3DHub, and C&C Online for continuing to support these classic titles. We hope you all enjoy these improvements to the C&C Ultimate Collection - available today on Steam.

Until next time.

Cheers,

Jim Vessella

HD1 is playable offline. No reason the second game shouldn't be either
