    My main definitely.isn't scout, soldier or spy. I suck at such classes. Either heavy, medic or engineer was my.choice most of the time. I was better as supporting role more than one that is really about skills (either ingame skills or personal skills).

    Sorry about the game. I won't ever advertise it again, promise.

    I have compiled a list of games I can giveaway for similar thread in the past. I have found this list by chance and I still have lots of games. If anyone finds something of interest, just write down in reply what you would like to get - first come, first serve.

    This is from Humble Bundle bundles, it is activated via Steam code or by sending a gift link (and then Steam code, I think) if not mentioned otherwise.

    As the list was compiled some time ago, your chosen game may not be available (maybe I was lazy and didn't delete it from list after giving it away), in that case please accept my apology. Also many of those are years old, I believe the codes could still be generated and will work, but I can't really promise that.

    EDIT: I would also buy Original War game (very unusual RTS from 20+ years ago) to five people while it is in sale. Feel free to ask for it, if you are sure you want to play it. More in my other post.

    It's a long long list, you have been warned Here we go :-)

    Here's list of games to pick from. Mind you - some of those bundles are years old, I don't know if I can still redeem those games. There is "reveal code" button on these games that should give me Steam key for it, I intentionally didn't reveal the keys for game that I won't play to keep track of what I can still give away (no key visible = I can reveal it and give away). Pick what you want, but I can't say for sure it will work. I may have some game on Origin too, I will mention it if that is the case.

    Also I would like to ask you to not ask for games you won't play or you are 50/50 if you want it. Leave them for giveaway in the future if you are not certain. If you don't mind, I would like to ask for your Steam ID and friend you to see you redeem the game(s) on your account - I'm probably getting a bit paranoid here, I realize. You can find me on Steam as I'm here - Pavouk106.

    I also don't want to feed into allegations and rather wait for complete info. The attacker is known and some infomation he shared on he internet is also known though.

    I still consider him a psycho. You may be dissatisfied with something but the solution should NEVER be to kill innocents.

    • Exemplary

    I haven't participated in such thread before, so.please forgive any possible mishaps.

    Original War is the game I would like to present to you, it costs 2€. It's very unusual type of RTS where the most valuable resource are your people.

    This game is situated in the distant past where you fight over specific resource (so.it can be used in the present times; the whole game takes place in the past only). Your personnel (amd resources) arrive to the past via time machine and this presents thelimitation of the game. You have to look for your people because if they die, they are gone forever. They gain experience in four categories as you use them for various tasks and this experience is what is most valuable. Many of these people have their own characters which are great in Czech language, I don't know about English, but I have read it's not as good (the game is Czech).

    There are over 30 missions tomplay on three difficulty levels (counting over 100 if you play everything on every difficulty). There are consequences to your actions - you have objective and you actually may not finish it and it can come back to you in the future.

    You get resources by getting boxes that come to you frm the future. The thing is they are randomly placed on the map and you have to look and come for them. Enemy must do the same. This means workers are exposed which presents danger and opportunity. You can do research and build advanced stuff throughout the game.

    It is very different to RTS games you know. This one is more about tactics than building big army and wiping out the map by force. You can't build army because you have to run the base, collect boxes, defend your place and attck all at the same time and your personnel is limited. Sometimes VERY limited. Missions have various objectives, almost none of them is "wipe out the enemy", some of them are hit-and-run.

    If you want to play it yet you can't spare 2€, I will buy the game to five people - first come, first serve; ask for it in a reply, so others know how many people got it; you would have to friend me on Steam to be able to receive the game (I think you can't gift the game to non-friends). I would like you to think twice before asking me to buy it for you - I don't want it to be part of your backlog, I would like to buy it to people who are really interested.

    Oh, one more thing! The game is still patched by its community and I believe there is multiplayer which is active to some degree (I don't play multi though, so can't really say). It runs on Linux through Proton including multiplayer (it did when I last checked a few years ago).

    EDIT: Thank you, anonymous user, for labeling "exemplary". This gives the game higher chances to be found. I hope I won't let you down, but I would like to add that my offer stands as long as the game is 2€ only. I'm cheap and I will not gift the game for full price to five people. BUT the offer stands anytime the game is on sale for 2€, until I gift five copies anytime in the future. I offer this because I really like the concept of the game and I would like others to experience it too. It is old school and kinda slower game though and it may not fit everyone.

    This is mine corner. The PC isn't actually on the photo (well, one of them is - Steam Deck). The desktop is on the other side of the room connected via 10m HDMI and 10m USB3 cable fished through the conduit under the floor. The USB3 is with repeater (it must be) and connected to USB3 HUB slapped on the LCD with double-sided tape. I use this HUB to connect basically everything to PC - be it keyboard, mouse, USB sound card, USB flash drive... In fact the HUB is connected though USB switch that switches it between desktop and Steam Deck.

    For my desktop I use Core i5-4790, 16GB RAM and GTX1650 in Lian-Li HTPC case from around 2010 (the actual motherboard is different from the one on the images at this moment, as is cooler, it's still Shuriken but some newer model). This PC can actually run Cyberpunk and Mafia DE at 30 fps on higher than lowest details. It's still ok for me as I play on Steam Deck more anyway.

    I use mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches that was made for local brand seller. It has RGB backlight and aluminium base. I use Logitech MX Anywhere 3 mouse (I believe). I have some cheap USB sound card from China and I use (ASUS?) TUF gaming headset and Sony wired earplugs that I have for 10+ years (I don't know the specific model, might be able to find if someone is interested). I use some 10 years old 22" IPS LCD, 1080p60 that I scavenged from some relative when they got new PC. Steam Deck is connected via DVI and desktop through HDMI. It also has VGA input. Quite nice LCD in its time, although budget one even back then (around 100€). The desktop is also connected to my Pansonic plasma TV from 2011. As you can see, I don't spend unnecessary money on new stuff when old one works just fine.

    My desktop OS of choice is Gentoo Linux. There is SATA SSD in the desktop with OS and Steam games but my home directory (and other users' too) is actually on my homemade NAS that acts as a server (Jellyfin, DVB-T-to-IPTV, Hime Assistant, DNS and so on...).

    The photo of my corner was taken after clean-up. I didn't take it now for reasons that might be obvious to you by now :-D

    This kind of thing is not common, but various attacks in Germany are becoming kinda common in recent years - attacks with a knife injuring a few people at once and similar. Too bad and also too sad to hear such things are happening.

    I'm Czech (neigbouring country), thus we get coverage of Germany in our main news and TVs as many Czechs work/shop or simply go there for such Christmas markets. In fact I've been to one this December and there were concrete barriers installed in surrounding streets to likely prevent this kind of situation. But if there is someone who want to kill others, they will find a way...

    There was "terror attack" on Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany this evening. Some psycho has driven into the crowd of people with a car killing one person and wounding others, then drove off. Police got him. There is also an unsettling video of this act from security cam (I presume), that I even didn't try/want to find (I have seen it on TV).

    German users might have more, and especially more precise, information.

    EDIT: I don't like to speculate, but as new information pours in, it seems there is more victims and up to 80 injured.

    EDIT2: Next day information is more precise with 4 dead and ~200 injured, ~40 of those severely.

    This is likely problem in the switch in the mouse. Over time it develops the thing called "bounce" in electronics - basically false read of the state, thus registering more than one actual click that you made.

    You could replace your mouse or if you are ok with it, you can dismantle it and buy new switch(es) and desolder old ones and put new ones in their place. If you are not experienced in (de)soldering, new mouse is better option.

    There is also third option - you may be able to disassemble the actual switch while it is still soldered in. This way you can get to inner metal parts of the switch and you can swap them out for new ones from new sacrificial switch.

    I've seen both methods successfully done.
