Challenging platformer WarriOrb where you're a weaponized talking ball is out now

I've been playing this lately: beautiful graphics with fairly tight controls. Only problem being the difficulty ;-)

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

Forgot to mention that I've also been playing Cat Quest II on the Switch with my 15-yo daughter. She really loves the game :-)

I've installed Lego Ninjago to play with my daughter. She loves the Lego games :-)

Also picked up recently have been a heavily-discounted Battletech (with DLC) and Aura of Worlds which looks interesting.

Driftmoon is great fun, though I must remember to save regularly as there are some bizarre bugs in it. Examples are being able to get off-map but not back again, and moving so fast I got stuck behind a wine vat and couldn't escape!

My daughter and I are not allowed to play Skullgirls any more... my wife say we get way too competitive ;-)

DOOM 64 is now available to stream on Google Stadia

Quoting: mosPS "works well in Proton" should be on the offtopic list in a place like this. it's getting worse..

Proton is a piece of Linux software which enables Windows games to run on Linux so I would suggest it is on-topic in a place like this.

IMHO, Stadia shouldn't be mentioned 'in a place like this' as it really isn't Linux gaming!

There's no native version of this game, unless you mean Doom64EX which is not official.

Valve adds a 'Play Next' shelf in Steam to remind you of all those games you've never played

I noticed this shelf last night, and am now feeling rather guilty ;-)

What are you clicking on this weekend? Come have a chat in the comments

Still playing Dead Cells, which is fast becoming one of my top five games ever!

Proton-wise, I'm playing XCOM: Chimera Squad which seems to suffer from the same bugs as reported in the Windows version. It *could* be good if the devs listen to the feedback.

I've also been experimenting with Aliens: Colonial Marines and managed to get it running in Proton 5.6-GE-2. Using the crack for the binary and the TemplarGFX v6 mod it is now quite playable!

Fedora 32? I hope there's a Fedora 64 too ;-)

Old source code for Valve games CS:GO and TF2 ended up leaked online

Certainly not condoning the leakage, but maybe studying the code will aid those students wishing to become coders in the future.
