Wishlisted, I might get it on some higher discount. The thing is that I don't play FPS any more, but this game reminds me of free-flowing games of old, before Counter Strike arrived and multiplayer FPS became crouching behind boxes with a sniper rifle. I'm not sure if I'd enjoy this game after 10 years away from FPS, but for about 5$ I wouldn't mind finding out, current 10$ price is a bit too steep for me.

Time is the currency of life in TimeOut and it looks ridiculously good

It was in the bundle for racial equality, I was very happy for that fact. In Time was a crappy movie, but the time as currency premise was interesting, they swiped it from an episode of some TV series I forgot.

The itch.io charity bundle hits over $4 million and now over 1,500 items inside

Right, since there is a client, I've bought the bundle and decided to give it a go. Among 1700 indie games there is bound to be be some that click with me. It can't possibly be a bad deal and it's for a good cause. Apparently, I'm not the only one thinking so, as client can't install due to pressure of all the people rushing in.

There is a game I like in there and it's worth 5$, so the bundle seems good. The problem is that devs don't get any money from this bundle, there are no Steam keys and itch.io doesn't have a client, so I can achieve the same result if I send 5$ directly to charity and just download the game from a pirate site.

I like my Steam library because it gives me sense of real ownership. The games are easy to install, remove, share with family, they will be there when I decide to give some of them another spin 10, 20 years from now. I just don't get the same from others.

Come tell us about what you've been gaming on Linux lately

Dishonored 2, but the performance with Proton is poor. I'm going to try a couple of games in my Steam library that I have marginal interest in, see if something sticks.

Distro News - Ubuntu 20.04 'Focal Fossa', Ubuntu MATE and other flavours released

Ah yes, my next OS has arrived! Thirteen years I've been on Ubuntu, through thick and thin.

Only this time I won't rush to upgrade like I always do, I'll give it some time for early issues to be ironed out, to have more free time myself to properly tweak the system to my liking at to order a NVMe drive to truly enjoy my new OS.

Let me know if someone has installed on ZFS and what are the experiences.

Ubuntu 20.04 has hit Beta (as have all the extra flavours) - help make it a release to remember

I'm going to wait for 20.04.1 image before installing, I always rush in to install near the day of release, this time I will let it mature a bit first.

The Humble Conquer COVID-19 Bundle is live with lots of Linux games and all going to charity

The bundle is nice, but the games are a bit aged, by now I have all the games from here that I want.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

Played some Moebius: Empire Rising, tried Armello, then went back to Slay the Spire, but none of them really kept me entertained. It's time to try something new. Fortunately, my Steam library is still well stocked with new things to try.

Quoting: 14For the King + Slay the Spire for $10 (or more if generous)? I'll take that!
I already have Armello, which is fairly cool.

Slay the Spire is most definitely worth this price even if you have a smallest of interests in strategy games. It's a great unique game and I keep coming back to it every once in a while.

And may I have Armello if you're not using it?
