I suppose I'm gonna buy it anyway, despite the fact that all I ever finished in Civ5 was the tutorial...

Happy New Year from me, too. Let's hope that Linux gaming sticks to last year's trend of more and better games.

What game are you truly thankful to have on Linux & SteamOS?

War Thunder. Never before (literally) I've invested more time in a computer game. Runner-ups: XCOM/XCOM2, Portal 2 and Shadow Tactics.

War Thunder officially released with a huge update and a sale on premium accounts

Quoting: devlandHow much of a grind is it to play?

Depends on your perception of "grind" (and your skill as player and whether you are on the winning team). It's F2P - you can just give it a try. Anyway, the grind up to tier 3 planes and tanks (approx 1938-1944 era) is mild. The very last prop planes and jets (t4/t5) are a different matter, though I still consider the gameplay on lower tiers more varied.

Quoting: Sil_el_motI've read a lot about that the russian tanks are historically incorrect far better in comparison to others, mainly the german ones. Is this still a thing?

I suck terribly with both Russian tanks and planes. Therefore I never understood this "Russian bias" debates. Some single models seem to be overpowered and others are too vulnerable - but you find these in the trees of all nations.

Quoting: TrumpIs the drivers he wrote opensource? Maybe the community can keep it functioning if it is. Can't blame him for quitting, but it does seem sad.

Quoting: LinasCan you get refunds from Kickstarter? I always thought that sending money to Kickstarter is like flushing it down the drain.

Yes, you can. They refunded my pledge a few months ago. It was already clear then, that a Linux version will never happen.

Quoting: lucifertdarkI made the mistake of adding Snappy to my system a while back, it took me two days of fighting to get rid of it, every time I removed it a stray piece would cause the whole thing to reinstall, it's worse than a bloody virus & I want no part of it again thanks. If Flatpak is anywhere near as bad as that they can keep it off my system.

FlatPak is a hell of a lot better, very self contained with few external deps.

And thus begins the flamewar... Or do you want to back up your "a hell of a lot better" with some facts? (Even in post-factual times.)

The 'A Good Bundle' game bundle on itch is a pretty good deal, supports charity

Quoting: liamdaweI've removed the overly hateful and idiotic comment, no need for it.

Indeed. Thanks.

I'm probably not too interested in the games, but ...people like you make funding of NGOs like these ones all the more important.
