Quoting: enzFTL was a gem, it will be hard to top.
This, I agree with. ^_^

Steam now has over 3,000 Linux games available

Interesting that a mere two years ago, at the end of 2015, [Steam only had 2,964 games altogether](https://twitter.com/Steam_Spy/status/804072335997358084?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw), and now here we have 3,000 on Linux. :)

Though the flip side is, simply having more games doesn't necessarily mean more games I want to play, nor does it include some games I do want to play. But hey, as long as they're making someone happy, that's fine with me. :)

Let's see…Steam says 358 hours in FTL for me, so whatever game Subset Games puts out next automatically has my attention. Seems interesting, I'll have to wait for more details.

Wonder if they'll put this one up on Kickstarter too, or if they've done well enough from FTL to make that unnecessary. :)

QuoteI think there was some confusion as to what "evaluation" means. Its not like we were trying to decide whether it was worth it to do the project.
There was definitely some confusion, as I was confused! ^_^ That's exactly what it sounded like to me. Nice to get some clarification on this. :)

Quoting: M@yeulCAs for the star wars titles, One of my personal favorites would be Star wars Galactic battlegrounds
But I'm afraid that it's not going to happen.
It's still a favorite regardless ^^
Oh yeah, Galactic Battlegrounds! I have fond memories of that game. :)

Ellipsis, an action-packed Avoid ’Em Up is now on Linux, it's rather good

That first sentence description made me subconsciously think of Osmos too, though I only realized it when you mentioned it in the next sentence. :D

Lifeless Planet Premier Edition, a third-person action-adventure is now available for Linux

My first thought on starting the video: "Is that the astronaut from Astroneer?" :P

Otherwise, the setting is intriguing and it looks rather nice.

Quoting: liamdawePost updated. Implemented some new code to display what you currently have in the article (only you see it). It has an ajax link to click to continue to be included if it's correct now, as suggested in our Telegram group.

Edit: This will be in all reminder articles now, to make it super easy for you.
Oh wow, that's really nice! My earlier comment was actually going to include a request for such a button in the article, but I decided against it as I figured it might be too much work and I was just being too lazy to click through to my profile. Mahalo nui loa!

Portal 2 has been patched to fix broken textures

I've been playing co-op with a friend (his first time) over the past few weeks and noticed it, as recently as last Sunday. I think it was also present in the recording he (on Windows) made of us playing and put on YouTube. As mentioned it didn't affect gameplay at all, but nice to hear they got around to fixing it.

Edit: You can see it in this video of his.

Quoting: M@yeulCOn the other hand, this screenshot certainly looks nice from afar (smaller screen or higher resolution). It really looks like a cave :D
It is kind of a pretty effect, and reminds me of the lava tubes here in Hawaii, which often have bright, reflective surfaces inside when illuminated by flashlight or camera flash. :)
