For me it is still War Thunder. After years in planes I've switched to ground forces in realistic mode. Can be frustrating but still... I battle the frustration with a round of Doom 2016. And I give Dead Cells a go every now and then.

On the laptop: Puzzlers like Hexcells and tower defense like iBomber Defense Pacific and Fieldrunners 2.

Well...

QuoteWe are are hoping to bring Insurgency: Sandstorm to Linux this year.

(stress by me)

A statement like this in January is not exactly inspiring for Linux gamers.

With a 500GB SSD and a GTX2070 (and an otherwise minimal configuration) you end up around 2,500 Euros. An absurd price. CPU and graphics card come for a mere 900 Euros, which means mainboard, RAM, cooler, mass storage, case and power supply (and assembly) add another 1,600...

Talking about "poor driver performance" and not knowing which driver you tested it with - that's a bold stance.

I really like the wording: "inconvenience". I can't play a game at all (and paid money for that). How "inconvenient". I assume it is fitting to call the developers "incompetent". Or should they be called "scammers"?

Quoting: KimyrielleNever heard of that game. I won't miss it either. I don't touch any MOBA game, as that genre consistently seems to attract some of the worst examples of the human species. I can do without getting exposed to that sort of people.

Not really, MOBA players are normal people, like you. If you think you are not capable of behaving like them or even worse, under similar circumstances, you have a really false idea about yourselves.

Most MOBA people become "toxic" because they are frustrated. Most of the time they are justly frustrated, due to bad teammates that ruin their fun.

If you were invested heavily in a game, only for some random dude to ruin your fun, you would be pissed off too, unless you are not human.

Puhleeze. I've started HoN only ONCE (for "real"). At some point you have to leave training and jump into it. All hell in form of constant verbal abuse broke loose, once I was in the game. Never returned.
OTOH: I've been playing War Thunder now for years (I assume I'm at least moderately invested). Never ever have I experienced something similar there. People are occasionally complaining, but it always stays pretty civil. And if I am the one who is frustrated I tend to reflect and keep in mind that it is A GAME. Does this mean I'm "not human after all"?

Quoting: PatolaIt even raises awareness that such motto exists.

That's baffling. What's next? Will Proton be the #FinalSolution for playing games on Linux? Look, I raised awareness to the Holocaust!

No you didn't (or rather wouldn't if tweeted). You'd make fun of 6 million murdered people by using an euphemism used solely by the Nazi for their genocide. That's not raising awareness. That's just plain stupid. Or vile. I get triggered on that since I hear such "funny quotes" much more frequently in recent times, both from "normal people" and politicians.

Lucky me. Neither was I aware that #WontBeErased is such a ting (well then, I'm not on Twitter either), nor did I read or learn about the "dumb" tweet before. It's really cozy in my bubble.

I can remember when I got the first "professional grade" games with the first Humble Bundle in 2010. I then bought pretty much every game that had a Linux port and this didn't change when Steam first surfaced. Nowadays I enjoy the luxury to ignore AAA titles if they don't fit "my taste".

Quoting: GuestHow is single player with the naval forces? If I am in a WW2 ship will I encounter unrealistic opposition?

No more "unrealistic opposition" than sitting in a WW2 aircraft or a WW2 tank. Or what do you mean with "single player" when referring to a MMO game?
