Every so often we like to have a chat with our readers, and find out what you've been really getting into lately on Linux.
Since the UK is currently in lockdown, I've been spending some extra time with the mini-me since school is out and I've been trying out everything they're into. This has involved, unsurprisingly, a lot of Minecraft since it's an accessible game. We've recently discovered a few communities than run huge servers, and each have a ton of mini-games. One such mini-game is Bed Wars, and it's actually quite a lot of fun.
Each team spawns on their own little island, giving you time to protect your Bed which acts as your spawn point. Lose your bed, no more re-spawning and it's the last team standing. It can get really quite tense actually! When you're busy gathering material from your team Summoner, to turn around and spot an opposing team quickly building a bridge over to your island and suddenly panic sets in. I've been trying it out on TheHive server, which seems to work well.
I also consider myself something of a Dragon Ball super fan, so I finally caved in and picked up a personal copy of DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT (Humble Store / Steam) and I must admit my intense surprise at just how flawless it runs in the latest Proton 5.0-5 for Steam Play.

Like the HUD in the top left? That's the brilliant MangoHud covered here on GOL a few times now.
As you can see above, performance is fluid with it on max settings. It's actually a little ridiculous how easy gaming on Linux has become. Now I just need to work on my reflexes for such a fast game…I'm not usually one for fighters like it.
So GOL readers over to you: what have you been gaming on Linux lately and what are you thoughts on it? Let us know in the comments.

Quoting: namikoBeen watching my partner play Celeste. Can't believe he beat the PICO-8 version his first try! So proud! ^-^
* Stardew Valley (I always need more automation)
* completed Blackwell Convergence (pretty cool, need to replay a bit for achievements)
* started Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition (but might restart because I didn't listen to the tutorial like a dumbass)
* resumed Cultist Simulator (how the fuck do I play this thing??--on second thought, don't tell me)
* started Dream Daddy: Dadrector's Cut because I'm currently sick as a dog and badly needed some Dad-humour laughs
Oh, right... also language drilling with Slime Forest Adventure. It's an old game that fools me into learning Japanese kanji and word readings in the form of a simplified classic RPG.More about it here if language learning piques your interest.
The Blackwell games are all awesome, never got any of the achievements to unlock in the Linux version unfortunately.
It's a bit like Fallout 3 with the big difference that I didn't dislike it one bit ;)
Kingdome Come Deliverence.
Myself, some Vintage Story, been trying out the free Tomb Raider 2013 but it isn't very good. I recently completed The Station, which was way too short but incredibly good. I also finished Near Death, which is another very short but fantastic game. Next on the list is The Witcher II (not 3), it was incredibly cheap recently and it's about time I check what all the hype is about.
On my to do list I also have to complete Iconoclast which is sweet so far, A.N.N.E., Into the Breach, Lingotopia, Super Tony Land, Stealth Bastard Deluxe and Wizard of Legend.
2. S.T.A.L.K.E.R with Смерти вопреки: в паутине лжи mod
3. Minetest with some addons

Quoting: ArtenAshes of the Singularity, i'm transhumanist who love RTS, so... this game is perfect for me. I only wish for another story DLC...
What Proton version and settings do you use to get Ashes of the Singularity running? Nvidia or AMD video card?
