[Überzwerg]

Ubisoft is giving away Anno 1701 History Edition + all previous holiday rewards (which are Starlink: Battle for Atlas + Trials Rising + some DLCs I don't care for).

[Teneb]

Brigador is free on GOG's main page.

[Aoi]

Don't ignore your Fanatical emails; there's one from this morning with a random key in it. (I got Hue.)

Brigador is free on GOG's main page.

Obligatory Brigador review vid

edit: Brigador's modkit is also available (free of charge) at gog as a dlc

[Robsoie]

Never heard of this Brigador before but after giving it a try, it's really good fun to relieve some stress, so much destruction
Now i know from which game the music in xpiratez is coming from.

[LordBaal]

It is a game of building bridges? You are a brigde builder? Thus a Brigador?

[Robsoie]

It's a game about making bridges between people , so they understand each other better.
The problem is that the only equipment to achieve your peacefull goal is  that you only have various type of mechs, tanks and machineguns, lasers and heavy canons, making it hard to achieve your missions without killing everyone, destroying any opposition and exploding whole cities.

Unless that's the secret to building bridges between people

[Ulfarr]

We will bring the people together, in a mass grave.


It seems to me that the title is supposed to be a "corruption" of the term brigadier.

It seems to me that the title is supposed to be a "corruption" of the term brigadier.

It's a somewhat antiquated portuguese (language, not country) term for "someone who fights a lot". Lots of portuguese in the game.

[Ulfarr]

Ah thanks for the correction

[Enemy post]

GOG is giving away Metro:Last Light.

[Robsoie]

I'm enjoying this Metro Last Light a very lot more than i thought, because there a lot of stealth gameplay to have that is very similar to the Thief serie.
You move in shadows, extinguish lamps to get more shadows, and kill stealthly/avoid enemies that patrol around. Lot of levels are playing like that, for Thief serie fans it's a lot of fun.

As long as enemies are not those monsters as stealth seems to be working only against humans enemies, on monsters filled levels, it's more a shooter than a stealth game.

Only cons i can see so far is that the levels are a bit too linear as there's not many paths from A to B.

But the story is good, the dialogue are very good (excellent dubbing in my own language too).
Not sure it will have a lot of replay value (due to the linearity) but it's definitively worth a play, it's a very atmospheric and immersive game, very well done.

For people interested in playing games in windowed mode, by default Metro Last Light does not have the option in its menu, you'll have to edit the user.cfg file located in
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro Last Light\

And change
r_fullscreen off
into
r_fullscreen on

Now a problem is that for some reasons the devs didn't made the window centered, fortunately thanks to that user and AutoHotkey, you can add this .ahk script in your game directory to play with the window centered :
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=464830926

note : you can add on the top of the ahk script :

Run metro.exe

So you can just double click on the script (assuming you placed it in your game directory, where metro.exe can be found) and it will run the game and center the window.

as Adobe is killing off their flash pluging forever

Some notes regarding the killswitch:
- First version to introduce it is v32.0.0.380 (Beta version)
- Kill date is Tuesday, 2021-01-12 00:00:00 (12th January 2021), last working date is thus 11th January 2021"

you're left with 3 choices :

1 - forget all about Flash, forget it has even existed, here my friend, just look at this

2 - A flash emulator named Ruffle exist :
https://ruffle.rs/
pro : you can also play emulated flash games or animations on website that have the Ruffle plugin built-in instead of just downloading Ruffle yourself, preserving websites like this one :
https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_flash
cons : for the flash game i tried with Ruffle (Mud&Blood 2) it had lots of freeze and lags that never happened on the original platform.

3 - You can use the Project Flashpoint to download&play Flash games and animations
https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/
pro : There's no need to connect anywhere (once you have downloaded the flash game you want of course) , even site-locked (some flash games could only be played on specific websites due to contracts/money/etc... ) flash games can be played with Flashpoint totally offline.
cons : Flashpoint use an older Flash Player plugin from before Adobe included a killswitch in their plugin.
cons2 : on version 8.something of Flashpoint i got a hard PC crash while toying with  "Gemcraft chapter 2 : Dancing Shadows", maybe related to some obscure old AMD problem with flash player so it may not be related to Flashpoint at all ?

Flashpoint interface allow you to browse through the very huge amount of flash content available, so you can only download the ones you want to play (if you download Flashpoint Infinity, as the full Flashpoint Ultimate that has already everything is some 478GB  of download  ).
As a bit of a help to start with something, here's a list of flash games i find worthy of keeping :

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Last Stand
The Last Stand : Union City
Desktop Tower Defense
Warfare 1917
Warfare 1944
Gemcraft Chapter Zero

Epic War 2 / 4 / 5
Super House of Dead Ninjas
