AMD Radeon puts this at the top of my watch list with MESA in the great shape its in.

Ark is a nice game yo chill and have late night conversations with you S.O.

Many hours of great conversations were had even despite graphical and loading issues that plague the linux build.

10/10 will play again. Especially when vulkan drops.

Quoting: brokeassbenDropped $30 on Civ VI last night and already have 12 hours played on it. Might need a break to eat and rest my bloodshot eyes.

Also, why is Gandhi such an ass in this game? Declared war on me for no apparent reason.

GOG adds Linux downloads for retro titles Earthworm Jim 1 & 2

Yes Ill buy it. Especially if it goes to steam.

All it has to do is work well and be easy to install and play.

There are many old titles I would buy dosbox or winewraps of. But the rule of thumb is that if its post 2008 I will only buy native because wine wraps of this category are too unstable -- native or nothing.

I was looking at the atari collection on linux on fanatical yesterdy, theres so many retro collections to buy. I love it.

For a lot of gamers the juice probably isnt worth the squeeze.

For new gamers though its a great kickstart to a Linux Gaming Library.

Are all bundles redeem each key at a time now? I prefer to not even have windows games in my steam library.

SteamOS is still alive with a new Beta, although it's a rather uninteresting one

I expect SteamOS gaming to be very much a "Falcon Punch"

As the toolchain gets really polished development will boom. Mesa, Wine, CLANG, Vulkan, AMD DC, etc...

I just want a zero bullshit linux gaming console.

Humble Bundle has been acquired by IGN

I cant imagine merging indie inocense with corporate ruthlessness turning out well.

Well, maybe now IGN can stop shitposting everything that isnt AAA for $$$ now that they own a significsnt distribution mechanism used by indies.

We will see how much IGN abuses their new play toy in the coming months.

GOG release a bunch of SNK NEO GEO classics, all with Linux support

Quoting: wolfyrionI wonder why these are purchasable and not free... :o?
I dont see any new high textures or a remake of these games in HD.
There are so old games that should be for free for the the new generation to enjoy the old Arcade Games.

Well anyway you can easily grab a MAME Emulator for Linux and play them for free if you know where to get the ROMS.

Because taking capitalism to the limit would make even the air you breath require a mandatory nominal fee.

Just imagine jurisdiction passing in China requiring all citizens to pay for cleaner air then X company planting tons of trees or something just to extract cash from the common people while pocketing 80% of the funds for CEO bonus pay.

Imagine a world where you pay for every minuet of internet access you need. You get 1,000 minuets of Internet for $30, and that only includes the top 50 websites, for access to GOL you are charged a extra 4.99, Slashdot $8.97, OMGUbuntu $4.97 this is the nightmare world we hopefully never enter into.

Quoting: cprnI ride a motorcycle. :><: Hatred grows when I see arcade physics...

Tuche -- I drive a car, hatred grows when everything is F1 physics.

Or how bout this scenario -- I play a FPS, haterid grows when attention is focused on realistic gun sounds, graphics and physics.

And this one too - I play a RPG, haterid grows when attention is focused so much on graphics that story & character arcs are just a afterthought.
