It has been a little while since I asked, so let's see what you're up to. What have you been playing recently and how is it?
I tried a good bit of Starbound when it released and wow it has changed a lot. It's really quite impressive what they have built. The exploration, the awesome loot and it's just a pleasing experience.
The other main one is Stardew Valley, it utterly demolishes time in the blink of an eye and my farm is slowly coming along!
I also thoroughly enjoyed Near Death which I did on the last livestream. My failure at surviving in the cold was pretty obvious and I haven't managed to find the elusive penguin yet!
Personally, I just want to find the time to finish up Life is Strange, I still haven't managed to get some proper time to sit down and finish the last bit on it. Excited to see how it ends!
With so many games to choose from now, it does get almost frustrating at times choosing between them to play in my limited leisure time. Do you find that now too? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I upgraded my PC on Monday and started Epistory last night (thanks in part to watching GOL's stream of it) - what a fantastic game! So engaging and so beautiful, and the difficulty's just right to keep me always pushing a little harder. I've also been playing too much Guild Wars 2 through PlayOnLinux, now with decent graphics :)
Before that I played "Divinity: Original Sin" for 40 hours then got bored: really great combat system, not so great story. I played it under Windows because the Linux port doesn't work with Mesa + radeonsi.I somehow poured 70 hours into that game before giving up on it for the same reason (although I also found combat tedious after a while). Fortunately it was gifted to me.

Mechwarrior: Online.
And yes, I know, I'm such a bad person.
But it's... okay? It's great if you play with friends.

I've been playing...
Life is Strange
- Finished it. Probably the best interactive story game I've played to date. Really curious to see what they do with the live action series based on the game. And what they do for season 2 of the game itself. I do plan to replay season 1 of the game with the Director's Commentary. That and I do think the game is worth another playthrough. I want to see the other story choice outcomes along the way.
RimWorld
- The game is a little strange, but plays nicely. I'm not sure about the end game for it, but it is still in early access. Good music. Its fun to watch your colonists interact with each other randomly.
Tabletop Simulator
- A must have game if you have a few friends to play board games or cards with. The workshop has been filling up with all sorts of board games. The custom content really makes Tabletop Simulator great. Everytime I put the game down for a while and then start it back up, there is plenty of new content uploaded. They've also been implementing VR, which would be cool once that picks up on Linux. A friend of mine tested the VR on his non-Linux machine. He said it was pretty cool to walk around in the D&D sets as if they were full scale.

The usual Payday 2 and Civilization V for me but yesterday I tried Ep1 of Life Is Strange and played it through in one session (it's not *that* long though). Now buying the whole other episodes -- it's just totally awesome :)

I was partway through a playthrough of Day of the Tentacle but a friend started playing Shadow of Mordor which was enough excuse to get me to start another run through of that. And then apparently I was in a fantasy-enough kind of mood to start up Victor Vran, which I previously had hardly played at all. Thoroughly enjoying both!
And, of course, I look forward to getting back to Day of the Tentacle as well. :)
Edit: Oh, and I also started doing some Race The Sun again as a quick little filler game. Quite fun as usual, though it still kind of bugs me that you stop getting challenges once you reach the maximum level. I don't seem to have enough impetus to play it unless I'm working towards a specific goal.

I've only played the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth on my laptop. The laptop is too weak to play anything more than 2D, and I can tolerate Civ 5 on it.
Otherwise I've beaten Pokemon Soul Silver and played more Kirby: Planet Robobot. Considering putting more time into Xenoblade Chronicles.

Dragon Age: Origins (Wine, GOG release). It's a good RPG, which reminds me of KoTOR mechanics wise, but I guess that's expected since it's made by Bioware. Never played DA games before, but I've heard Origins is the only one worth playing, and sequels all ruined it.

Dex: Amazing atmosphere, decent writing, pretty good game feel. Kinda reminds me of the old SNES Shadowrun game.
XCOM: Enemy Within: This game is broken. I've tried both under OpenSUSE TW and under Mint 18; whenever I finish my first mission (I'm not doing the tutorial) it crashes when I return to base. I installed Windows 10 on an older PC I have and it worked fine on there, so I just imported that save and continued under TW (and about a dozen missions later I'm not getting any crashes). I've let Feral know, so we'll see.
Apart from that, it's as much fun as always.

Nothing. I've been watching The International.
Before TI6 started I was playing Salt & Sanctuary. It's awesome.

What do you think about the endings? I like the game, but it feels they didn't work on the endings enough. Feels they were cut short of thoroughly explaining what happened.
