The T'au invade Warhammer 40,000: Gladius in a new expansion out now

Thank you for reminding me to double check that. I'm actually x11. I updated my info from my phone and fat-fingered that one. Meant to fix it when I got home and forgot all about it.

And yeah, I am well within specs but their tech support is a joke.

Me: *sends detailed email about the problem along with all the troubleshooting steps I have already taken.*
Them: Try uninstall/reinstall.
Me: I did that, as detailed in my original email.
Them: Update your drivers.
Me: Again. Read the original email. I have up-to-date drivers.
Them: *detailed instructions for Windows*
Me: I'm not on Windows. In the original complaint, I specify that I am on Linux Mint.
Them: Oh... Try uninstall/reinstall
Me: Grrrrr.....

Wish I could play this. I am a huge 4X game fan and a colossal Warhammer nerd. Sadly the game won't run at all for me. I just get a black screen that has to be killed from the console.

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

Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs

It's enjoyable. Comes fairly close to scratching that Fire Emblem itch. The humor is... cute. At least chuckle worthy and not distracting.

I also tried Deep Sky Derelicts this weekend and hated it. Couldn't even make it a full half hour in before I got bored with the repetitive combat.

Psyonix are ending support for Rocket League on both Linux and macOS (updated)

As someone who knows little-to-nothing about the "under the hood" parts of Linux, how likely is this to be working on Steam Play in the future? It's the only cross-platform game that my friends on the other side of the country play together and I would rather keep playing with them than get a refund.

However, if the outlook is not good, I would rather get my refund now then wait. Rip the band-aid off, as it were.

The Steam Winter Sale is now live with a special Holiday Market

My 6 year old adores the Pajama Sam games. Don't know if they are on sale or not but I can't imagine they are very expensive either way.

The big Rocket League update that kicked out loot boxes is now live

Not for credits. Every item has a rarity value ranging from Common to Black Market. Theoretically, you cash in 5 items of one rarity to get a random item of the next value.

5 Uncommon = 1 Rare, etc. But most items are marked "cannot trade in" for some annoying reason. It's frustrating to have to look at 300+ items I don't want and can't get rid of every time I open my inventory.

I'm pretty sick of having hundreds of items in my inventory and nearly all of them not allowed to be traded in. Not to mention the odd decal or two that are listed as "very rare" but for some reason can't be combined with any of the other "very rare" things to be traded in.

Papercraft inspired tactical RPG Wildermyth enters Early Access plus initial thoughts

This sounds right up my alley. Which, going by my recent track record, means I will hate it. Lol

And a tip of the hat right back to you. I never would have discovered this game that has swallowed 223 hours* of my life if not for you and this site. Thank you.


*and counting. I'm gonna play as much as possible over the next day or two.

Party-based tactical RPG 'Zoria: Age of Shattering' is launching for Linux this November

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. If the fantasy world isn't an interesting place to live in, I can see my enjoyment declining quickly.
