Cool. Already have it in my Steam library (from when it was Windows only). Now it is on Linux, I should get around to playing it. (My Windows partition gets booted up very rarely, heh. And when it does, usually can't use the machine for 10 minutes due to updates and reboots.)

Quoting: Purple PuddingSo the tease on the radar was for Shogun 2 and not Shadow Warrior 2?:'(

I'm not complaining, since I never experienced a Total War title and Shogun 2 can be a good start, but I was thinking about SW2 (even if the first one is sitting in my library and I haven't get a chance to play it).

Good Work BTW, keep porting!

Similar to you, I had Shadow Warrior (2013) in my Steam library, and owing to my keenness for SW2 - I installed and played SW1 - to increase the Linux user Steam stats (by "1" ) as a bit of encouragement to the developers.

On which note, I thoroughly enjoyed SW1 - and I'm expecting SW2 to be AWESOME! And noting that there are TWO teases on the radar, and the 2nd tease 'might' be SW2.

Quoting: buenaventuraSo how are you liking the expedition? I just lost on the 6th map, mauled by giant crab, after being seriously ravaged by rampant alcoholism and pyromania ^__^' I could not enter any event without the place being mysteriously on fire afterwards! Also, everyone rebelled when the whisky ran out. It was fun anyhow! Will try again with a new explorer.

Well, there's a few things to note. I'm not 'just' playing Curious Expedition. Just recently been playing lots of '7 Days To Die' early access game, and finding that is very addictive. (Plus other stuff.)

In 'The Curious Expedition' I've tried out 2 characters, and played one of those until I died (approx 3-4 expeditions) and then switched to another character - a brand new game, and I've done about 6 expeditions with that one. The very last expedition - I didn't think I was going to make it. Two of my party had turned into Abominations, with cannibalistic tendencies. By the end of that game, everyone was dead apart from the Main Character, who had eaten the Mount as a last resort instead of starvation.

Played about 2-3 hours so far, and it isn't quite satisfying my gaming needs - rogue-like, exploration, survival - where FTL (Faster Than Light) does succeed. I think one of my issues with T.C.E. is that it throws completely random events at you, and many of them you can't react or counter, so you just have to suffer the consequences. Let's just say I'm probably going to have to go further and further in the game and see how it develops.

Quoting: buenaventuraI got the Humble Positive Bundle for Curious Expedition, that game seems to never go down very much in price, so 10 dollars for it is sort of a bargain.

Yes, my purchase of the (full) Humble Positive Bundle was due to wanting to try out Curious Expedition. That game was the main influence for me, but the others (for Linux) also helped. Even Underrail, which I too would like to try under WINE.

Tempted by the new tinyBuild bundle, mainly for "The Final Station" game... but I own some of that bundle already (well the Linux titles that appeal to me). So, I haven't jumped on that one yet.

Humble Store has Hard West (Steam key) at 70% discount.

Oh, and I'm currently debating whether I should get Downward early access game on Steam, currently 30% discount.

or via Humble Bundle Monthly Subscription: June 2017 for true bargain hunters ;)

There are two statistics of merit here:

1) The person who paid money for the game is running Linux.

2) The platform being used for playing the game.

The developer can gain both bits of information from Steam statistics generated by buying or playing the game.

On which note, I have a massive backlog of games, so the person buying is running Linux - and then there's no stats of anyone playing them (yet).

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: FutureSutureThis basically means that I can no longer gift games to friends who use Windows.

To be honest, it's one way less for us to cheat the system. :)

It's not cheating the system. It is a Linux gamer who paid out the cash for the game.

Somewhat off topic, but answering this: If a friend has not made any purchases on Steam, then they cannot Add You as a friend. But you are still able to Add Them as a friend, and they need to validate. That makes you Friends on Steam. Until your friend reaches the $5 limit and then they can make friend requests for themselves.

As someone who (a) sniffs out bargains and (b) is primarily a Linux gamer, the Humble Monthly Subscriptions are generally very tempting. I get them if I like the early unlock, and I only buy one month at a time. If I like the early unlock AND it is out on Linux, then I'm very likely to get the Month's Subscription. Much of the time, I've been happy with the Surprise content, but not blown away by it.

My first Monthly was May 2016, where I got Mad Max ahead of the rumours of it coming to Linux, and then it came to Linux. (Yes, I took a bit of a risk, but I would have played the game on Windows if it didn't come to Linux.)

June 2016 - Rocket League ( + The Forest, Planetary Annihilation Titans, Steredenn, Wasted, ... )

December 2016 - Dragon's Dogma NOT Linux :( ( + The Escapists, Flame in the Flood, Mordheim, Hacknet) - not a good month for Linux. (I really wanted DD, and plan to play on WINE or Windows.)

Feb 2017 - X-COM 2 ( + Steamworld Heist, Okhlos, Ryse son of rome, Husk, ABZU, ... )

March 2017 - Total War: Warhammer ( + RIVE, Flat Heroes, Space Run Galaxy, Poly Bridge, ... )

May 2017 - Dirt Rally + Inside ( + Metrico+, The Turing Test, Undertale, This is the Police, ... )

June 2017 - Stellaris ( + ... don't know yet ... )

The unlisted months were not appealing enough to me, generally because the Early Unlock wasn't Linux or it wasn't a game I'd like.
