The next Humble Monthly is out, with a nice deal for Linux gamers
4 August 2019 at 3:21 pm UTC

I clicked cancel the subscription only so I could get $2 off the price, but there is no way I'd miss a bundle with StS in it, it was basically the only video game that I didn't have and I really wanted. It's got cards, style, tactic, classy dev, all the ingredients that I like and so many positive reviews can't be wrong.

The next Humble Monthly is out, with two more interesting early unlock games

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice works great in Proton, and that's the reason I got this bundle, but unfortunately, the game is a disappointment for me. Both combat and puzzling failed to impress me so far. There is a lot of style to the game, but in this case style didn't triumph over substance. I understand why this game had to be confusing and annoying, it's a game about mental illness after all, but it does nothing to help me want to play it. I'll endure a bit more, maybe it gets better as I go, but I doubt it.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is a pleasent surprise, didn't even know it has Linux client. Looks like my kind of thing, I spent more time on TBS than any other games. On the down side, I know nothing about Warhammer 40,000 universe.

The rest I'll probably just trade away. Road Redemption does look sweet, but I doubt it would hold my attention for more than 15 minutes. I'll skip the next month, not for me.

Steam Play Proton 4.2-6 is out, DXVK rebuilt for increased performance

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMurdered Soul suspect still crash when entering the cemetery.

Here is what I wrote in commentary when rating this game on protondb:

You have to add -dx9 (in lower caps) in the 'set launch options...' in the game properties window, otherwise it will freeze in the cut scene when entering the cemetery.

NVIDIA have two new drivers out with 430.09 and the Vulkan beta driver 418.52.05

Quoting: morbiusI'm still on 410 stable. Am I losing out on something important?
Of course. dxvk's main features for example. Proper Vulkan support and the likes.

Ok, I switched to 418.56. So far, the only thing I can say is that XMR mining performance got absolutely wrecked. I'll try some video games to see if there are any noticeable improvements.

It works for me on 4.2-3.

Yes, just needed to restart Steam.

Dandara, a gravity-defying 2d metroidvania platformer that's worth a look

I got it in the monthly that I bought because of Mutant Year Zero, but it's not my cup of tea. I'll trade it for something else.

Tacoma is quite decent. Not much to do in the game, but the story and setting are good.

Google announce ‘Stadia’, their new cloud gaming service built on Linux and Vulkan
19 March 2019 at 7:33 pm UTC

This will be aimed at multiplayer games and possibly AAA, so it will probably be an expensive service and cover the kind of games that I don't play any more. Still, colour me intrigued, something interesting might come out of this, although other game streaming services were ultimately failures.
