What have you been playing and what are your thoughts?

I started with Katana ZERO - absolutely brilliant game I was able to enjoy thanks to SteamPlay/Proton.

And continued with Hollow Knight - bought it a long time ago but finally took the time to play it. Well I started and now probably 50% through the main game but just a guess.

Also played just a little bit of Eagle Island and Supralang - could resist but only 1h in each. Certainly will continue later with both.

Last but not least, played/watched the demo of Synergia - amazing story and great visuals/atmosphere. Looking forward to the release!

WHAT THE GOLF? is another Linux game that's now going to the Epic Store first

Let's just spend all the money on games with a SteamOS/Linux icon and actual support on the store which had a huge part in making Linux gaming what it. And tell all friends incl non Linux gamers about the great ones! (=

Yeah, I'd love a solution where I just point the itch.io client to a folder which we be in my Dropbox/Gdrive/..
Games would only need to specify their local save directory/file and the itch.io client could `rsync` that with the specified folder. (Well at least in unix based systems that should work :D).

The simplest way would be if they all just saved to $HOME/.local/share/games/%GAMENAME%

I like it and would be very happy with that solution. However, I doubt it's works well for non tech-savvy people. They'd need to setup `rsync` themselves or at the very least make `$HOME/.local/share/games/` a symlink'ed to a cloud synced drive..

Lutris might be working on it, I wonder if that wouldn't be a solution.

Ideally, I could just point clients at my nextcloud webdav server (or NAS/sshfs/NFS/dropbox/drive/rsync+inotify/etc), if bandwidth and disk space are what's keeping such services from offering cloud syncs.

I'll get an error regarding my GLIBC version since Ubuntu 18.04 still is on `GLIBC_2.27. Should work fine with newer versions.
