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

Quoting: JJNovaI have been bouncing back and forth between Urban Terror and Deponia. I bought all of the Deponia games years ago for a few bucks each, and just started going through my backlog.

Urban Terror on the other hand, is always installed and ready to go at a moments notice. I'm quite excited for the next release and hope it happens in 2020.

Wow Urban Terror, I played so much of this game in the past. I lost interest when they did the major rework, took forever. Is it back to being as good as it was before?

I've been playing almost exclusively Vintage Story since you got me addicted to it. The only other game I've played recently is Horizon Chase Turbo with the family and when friends show up.

Still waiting for Nvidia to fix the no-hair rendering bug in Deus Ex Mankind Divided to pick it back up and complete it.

The latest update and brand new trailer for 'Vintage Story' look fantastic

I bought the game the last time it was featured here. I'm still sinking countless hours in it. It's so much fun, there's so much to do. The game is not Minecraft, its really different, but still... once you played it, there's no going back to Minecraft.

Also, as a physical geographer, I really appreciate all the thoughts that have been put into making the world realistic and rather believable. The geology is very good, with the distribution of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary layers of rock. I've been running around the world and sometimes have flashbacks of places I've been in real life. Even though it's a voxel game, the ambience is that good.

Steam reportedly coming to Chrome OS - Linux gaming across even more devices

The bigger question is, will Steam support ARM processors? A lot of low en Chromebooks and now even Windows PC are shipping with ARM processors. They are more than powerful enough to play casual and older games. But I guess developpers would need to take the time to make an ARM build.

Deep open-world survival game Vintage Story adds a big new weather system

Wow. I've put way too many hours in this game in such a short time. I've now reached the bronze age and its amazing. I love this game. The more I play it, the more I can affirm that this is definitely NOT Minecraft. Everything is so realistic. The sceneries are amazing and when going around the world I get flashbacks of place I've seen in the real world. You have to move around and explore a lot. You won't find everything you need in your basement's mining shaft. I'm at the point where I have to build outposts to have secure areas to sleep at night while foraging and exploring. I've seen pretty much everything I can reach within a day's walk, and coming back home during the night is risky, like in real life the nights can be very dark. That and spending the night in a shop is boring when you have no bed to sleep and nothing to occupy your time. Yeah, smithing anf pottery baking is best done during the night. You don't want to waste daylight time.

I wholeheartedly recommend this game if you like exploration and building games.

I couldn't resist any longer and pulled the trigger. I've only had the chance to play for about 90 minutes so far, but it's fun. A lot more complex than Minecraft, and it seems to play very differently. I don't know how much longer I can survive on cattail roots and berries...

Need to make some pixel art? Pixelorama is a cross-platform FOSS tool worth looking at

Make it compatible with Gimp filters and plugins and you will have a winner. Right now it looks so basic I think I'll stick with Gimp, I've been using it for 20 years and it's a wonderful tool for pixel art.

Seems like Feral Interactive may have a few surprises for Linux in 2020

I would love to get native support for the upcoming Empire of Sins. Cyberpunk 2077 would be a great one to have too! Also getting Borderlands 3 would be the cherry on the topping. :)
