Wow, the end of another week over here in the surprisingly hot and sunny UK. Perfect weather to be sat inside playing games and there's been plenty of that here.
Thanks to the news of Celeste coming to Stadia, I was reminded of the fact that Celeste was in the recent itch.io charity bundle so I've been able to give it a thorough go after only previously playing it at a friends PC. I already liked it a lot but now I've sunk plenty more hours into it I'm totally blown away by it. It's truly no surprise to me now why it has amassed such a following, like on Steam where it has over twenty thousand views an an overall Overwhelmingly Positive rating.
For the Linux version, Celeste appears to be another example of a finely tuned experience with no issues encountered for me at all. If you've not tried Celeste yet, do give it a go. Getting those darn Strawberries has become my most painful mission, like the time I caught a particularly tricky one after 30 minutes of failed attempts only for my thumb to slip off the gamepad stick at a vital step afterwards…
It really does get intense and actually managing to catch each one feels so good. Difficult? Absolutely. However, it's pretty much the perfected experience of challenging platforming with lovely pixel-art and beautiful audio to top it off. If you don't own Celeste you can grab it from itch.io, Humble Store and Steam.
Over to you: what have you been gaming on Linux recently? Have a chat in the comments.

Quoting: TheRiddickAs a off-topic question if anyone knows, I have a B350 mobo atm and a B550 upgrade coming soon, does anyone know of any issues just swapping mobo out? is there any Linux B550 chipset issues or work arounds I need to know about?
Swapping motherboard out is usually totally fine, provided the Linux distro you are running has an up to date kernel that supports that board. I've done this several times before, it's pretty amazing to witness. DO NOT try the same thing on Windows, you'll be in for a mess.

I also played a run on Refunct. The game is very short (< 10 min), this is probably the best introduction to speedrun you will find, all in a very chill atmosphere.
I tried the demo of Neon Abyss and I quite enjoyed the run. It seems to have a lot in common with The Binding of Isaac (which I don't like much), but I prefer the platformer approach more. Release date is scheduled for tomorrow (July 14th)... Decisions, decisions
Finally, I started playing Divinity II: Developer's cut, but the choppy camera made me stop after 2 hours. The problem seems to affect the Windows version too ; currently the only suggested fix that seemed to work was to cap the game to 30 fps, using libstrangle (strangle 30 %command in Steam)... which is not that great
