Humble Indie Bundle 18 is here with Owlboy, Kentucky Route Zero & more
17 May 2017 at 6:05 am UTC

HIB always had this way of mixing the games I really like with the games I couldn't care about less (yes, I'm looking at you, Goat Simulator). Fortunately, you can now separate how much you are giving to each game and I'm also overdue for a charity donation anyway. I'll be buying the full bundle since I want Owlboy, although it's not a great sign for the game when it has much higher critic score than user score on Metacritic.

Awesomenauts, the side-scrolling MOBA is going free to play next month

I played it few years ago,but it quickly became stale with too few characters, while new ones were available only in paid DLCs. It will be fun at least to try out the new characters, though I don't know how much will I like the game this time around.

Starbound to get vastly expanded space travel in a big update

I also played a lot of it during early access when there wasn't much to do. I crafted the best armor and weapons and stopped playing, as that was about it.

The game is so much better now, but I couldn't get myself to play it, I lose interest after 10 minutes.

Dark Horizons: Mechanized Corps adds Linux support with a Beta

What other Mech game is there for Linux?

I played and quite liked Hawken back in my Windows days, I wouldn't mind having something like that.

Canonical drop the Unity desktop environment for Ubuntu favour of going back to GNOME

In the end, this was a good thing. Unity was not bad, but there was honestly no need for it, we already have a bunch of desktop environments and it's best that the most popular distro follows the mainstream instead of trying to break away.

Mir is also gone, which is good, we don't need fragmentation there when the dev community is still small, let Wayland be the future for now.

This is also the final death for Compiz, a composite manager like we never had before or will have again. The development has already stopped years ago, but it still was used as framework for Unity. Eh, when I just remember what awesome effects Compiz had at its peak, people from other operating systems couldn't believe their eyes.

I'm sorry for the effort and money Canonical lost in development, but it's better for all that they finally decided to give up. I haven't seen what Gnome 3 looks like now, but if I don't like it, I'll just improve it with Cairo.

Oxenfree is a clever, narrative driven supernatural thriller you should check out, my review

I personally liked it more than Life is Strange, I recommend getting it when on a larger discount. It has its charms, though it's not without flaws.

Faeria, the rather good free to play turn-based card battler has a final release and now official Linux support
8 March 2017 at 8:15 pm UTC

Tried it during beta and somehow didn't sit well with me. Don't get me wrong, it's a very fine game, but feels more built for rush then control decks, playing control makes games last long. Somehow it didn't hook me, but maybe I'll give it another chance at some point.

Looks like Telltale's 'The Walking Dead' may be coming to Linux
28 February 2017 at 8:26 pm UTC

I'm looking forward to other Telltale games being ported, The Wolf Among Us was something special for me couple of years ago. Very fun games, if you don't replay them and realize that you really only had illusion of choice.

The Exiled, the sandbox PvP MMO is now available on Linux in Early Access

Wanted to try it while it was in alpha, launcher didn't work, didn't want to bother any further. Maybe it's more polished by now.

AMD officially announce Ryzen 7 CPUs for launch on March 2nd

Upgrading my PC is well overdue, but I will hold out a little longer until Ryzen R5 comes out with 6 cores. With the price of around 250 euros it should be in the sweet spot. Add about 100 euros for a motherboard and as much for 16 GB of DDR4 RAM.

One thing missing is the graphic card, but for that I might have to wait. Nvidia's Volta should come out in May, mid-range offerings probably in the summer. AMD's new GPU architecture should come out as well, I just wish situation with the drivers for Linux was not so bad, right now they offer better bang for a buck, but only if you're running Windows.
