QuoteThey will also do Stadia Base with no monthly sub that will come "next year" limiting you to 1080p, both allowing you to buy games whenever you want.
That's one step in the right direction for my use case, though I still don't see myself going for it.

That Baldur’s Gate III trailer looks intriguing. First, interesting to see Larian Studios is at the helm, though I'm not sure what that implies regarding Linux support. The first game took forever and they gave up on porting the second one. It also gives me very low expectations for the story aspect since DOS1 bored me like no other RPG ever did, not to mention how tedious I found their take on combat. Second, how the hell does one just turn into a mind flayer? Very pretty teaser, though.

Now Borderlands 3 being part of the first set of games is very interesting. Wasn't it supposed to be an Epic exclusive for 6 months?

Some of those game modes look like they're going to be pretty interesting :)

Aspyr Media confirm the free "Ultra HD" DLC for Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel is coming to Linux

I wish Aspyr would at least throw us a bone and say how the update is going on their end. I can live with no ETA, but calling it "soon" and not saying a word in over a month is rather frustrating.

The RPG 'Pathfinder: Kingmaker' is getting a free Enhanced Edition update next month + new DLC

I actually ended up removing it from my wishlist based on the reviews. I may well take another look after enough people have had their hands on the update.

Cardlings looks to be an interesting turn-based strategy with an unusual gameplay style

More like card people, I think. Wildlings, gibberlings, halflings...

So how does Auto Chess work? Is Drodo a person or a company?

In the 2.5D puzzle-adventure Afterlight, you play as an isolated astronaut on Titan

I'm kind of sad this isn't full 3D as it would make a gorgeous environment to explore. Worth a look at release anyway. That music is beautifully haunting and they seem to have a solid theme.

They made the sales and not the developers/publishers? That's nuts.
Sweet, sweet Epic fuck-ups.

Quoting: Salvatos.(snip) Although I would feel bad leaving my computer on just for that. Maybe that will finally convince me to install Folding@home and run it in my absence.

you turn your computer off????? o_O
I don't see why I should let it just waste electricity when I'm not using it.

Interesting, but I can't see myself setting this all up. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

They finally did remote play? Awesome. I'll finally be able to run games on computers that don't have a dedicated GPU and without having to download them first when I visit family for a few days.
