Mostly Control. I played it last year (the EGS version), but now I want to play new DLC. I didn't want to give more money to Sweeney and Co, so I bought the full version on Steam. A great game, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, not all problems with exclusivity have been solved. In spite of the fact that it's called "the Ultimate Edition", it doesn't have all the available outfits for the main heroine. Some of them are PS4-only, and some of them were given for pre-ordering the game - and I have them on EGS, but not on Steam, because pre-ordering weren't available on Steam! I didn't like those outfits much though, but still feel offended. I hate exclusivity... What a greedy publisher. At least give me Steam-exclusive Gaben outfit if you love exclusivity so much.
There were instructions how to unlock outfits (and one PS4-exclusive side mission with Kojima) by modifying .exe files with a HEX editor, I suppose they will be there too.

QuoteI'm also mourning the loss of my trusty Logitech F310 gamepad, it had a good 5+ year run but it's time to wave goodbye

I can recommend F710. Besides it's wireless and has vibration, it is more comfortable than F310. Sometimes I have problems in Unity games - RT doesn't work. As for the rest, it works fine.

Some off-topic news: the author of Brutal Doom is making his own game, Brutal Fate. It's on GZDoom and will get a Linux version: https://twitter.com/brutal_fate/status/1302339745217949696

Quoting: GuestHow is Russia anti-corruption? Russia is an oligarchy/kleptocracy and extremely corrupt, lol.

I hinted at The Great Linux Revolution, not at Russia.

Can't wait for lootboxes with assets in Unity Asset Store.

Quoting: PatolaIf it's on Steam, you know that you can simply edit the controller setup to that game and assign keyboard presses to the joystick buttons, right? This way you can play a keyboard-only game using the joystick/gamepad.

Sure, but in that case I have to memorize what key is assigned to what button. I do that for some games. In The Coma 2 most actions are signed on the screen, and I instantly know that N is an inventory and M is a map. Also, some actions are quite handy assigned to several keys. Like, E is "action", but for navigating in menus Space and Enter also can be used. Q is "cancel" as well as Esc. Both WASD and arrows are used for walking, both Shift keys to run, etc.

The Coma 2 from Humble Choice. A nice horror game with good art and simple gameplay. It has no controls settings and it prompts keys instead of controller buttons, so I have to play on my keyboard, but playing it on a keyboard is fine. The Coma 1, which is on Steam sale now, is not as good, so I recommend to skip it.

I've bought DRAG to support the developers who don't ingore Linux despite I don't like racing games. I like its graphics but cannot get used to vehicle behaviour. It either goes forward when I want to turn, or drifts too much when slightly push B. All I could get was a couple of bronze awards.

Few old games with Proton: Neighbours from Hell, Bejeweled 3, Worms Armageddon. They all run excellent, no issues.

Speaking of Humble Choice, Hello Neighbor. To be honest, I don't like it at all. Too scripted, too bad controls, just a PC version of mobile spooky games which are popular among children these days. If I wanted to play a FPP hide'n'seek game, I'd rather play Alien Isolation. So I did. But it crashes every time I start a new game despite runs ok when I load my old save or start DLC. I'm going to try Proton for it. (Update: it started fine with Proton, the performance is the same, ~150 FPS.)

These games distract me from playing Final Fantasy IX. It runs fine with Proton, but Moguri Mod (a mod with HD textures enhanced with machine learning) is glitchy, so I'm playing the unmodified version. It has some improvements upon the PS1 version, like speeding up the gameplay without speeding up the game timer - helpful for some mini-games.

I've bought the $1 tier bundle, and the key for A Year Of Rain gave me CryoFall as well. Weird.

The Steam versions of Earthworm Jim 1&2 with Boxtron and antimicrox. Both have the best graphics among all versions but lack levels. But EWJ1 has broken controls and physics, almost unplayable. I've tried EWJ 3D as well, its font doesn't work for some reason, so no text or number.

Also, Final Fantasy IX. There is Moguri Mod with ESRGAN-enhanced textures, but it's glitchy on Linux, so I'm playing the standard game.

Quoting: LinasEven a Linux gamer, who only buys Linux games, would have hard time noticing these smaller games.

That's why GoL exists.
