Well I feel bad buying a Proton (rather say that than Windows! And I did use the GOL supporting link of course) only game but just had to get Doom as it was half price. Should be able to try it in a few days as it's a mere 59.5 GB download

Off topic... which game is the record holder for biggest download?

The bunny apocalypse is upon us! This looks a lot of fun :D

This looks great, I must try it when I get a chance. The music fits well too.

Quoting: mondalaciIs this "Accept cookies" bullshit necessary for every single video playback?! I have to press the button, then click on the video. It's a tad overkill, and hurts the usability of the site. What if the site remembered that the user accepted the cookies previously, so this overlay would only be displayed before accepting them?

As I mostly read this site from the RSS feeds in Thunderbird it used to be very handy to be able to play the videos directly in Thunderbird also, but I've totally locked it down now with uBlock Origin and just follow the link to watch directly on Youtube. So I would have agreed with you a while back but not bothered now!

Still waiting to pick up XCOM2. Think I'll just get vanilla to start with and pick up the DLC later on as it seems a bit too expensive for me all in one go otherwise. 50% off you say? Ooooh what a dilemma ;)

Quoting: fabertaweEdit: It would be nice if there was a way to differentiate the proton compatible games in my list. A separate drop down category on the Library menu would be nice.

I actually put all the Windows games in a "Windows" category. This category disappears when I select Linux games. But it would reappear if any of those games suddenly becomes available on Linux. I don't have a proton supported game, but this may work for that as well. (unless you turn proton on for all win games of course)

I just added STALKER to a "Proton" category and it's listed separately at the top of my game list, so that's something. Thanks for the info.

Wow... big news, big thread (and I'm late to the party as usual!). I have actually read every post

Just re-installed STALKER: Shadow Of Chernobyl for the hell of it, to test. Played it a looong time ago, back when I had a Windows partition. Enjoyed all three games immensely as it happens.

This is a double edged sword for me though. The fact purchases count as a Linux sale is great, especially as there are potentially a lot of very good games which can be had cheaply in the sales. But... if I'm buying a Windows game then I'm not spending that money on a Linux native game. Which is even worse these days as I have such a backlog of titles to wade through that I'm spending less on games anyway.

Interesting times ahead!

I just bought this on the strength of Liam's articles and the Dev's model ^_^

The game's better than I imagined, really good fun. "Blocky" graphics usually put me off a bit but they lend the game a certain style and I'm enjoying it. Excellent!

Quoting: razing32The first one was beatable , second one kicked me in the teeth around the half way point. Wondering if I'll manage to beat this one.

Same for me. Loved the first one but had to give up on the second as it became too difficult and frustrating. Some games obviously need a mega-noob-baby difficulty setting for me to enjoy them!

It seemed with the second that they'd tried to shoehorn in too many boss type characters and it just overwhelmed me in the end.

Very much looking forward to this one.

I feel a bit guilty these days that I already have so many unplayed games that it takes something very appealing to get me interested in buying a new release. I would never have imagined being in that situation a few years back!

Edit 1: hooktube.com :D To quote from their site...

QuoteShare YouTube videos without giving them views. Bypass country blocks and age restrictions. Download YouTube videos and music. Keep your data private from the G.

HOW: Just replace the domain in any YT link with hooktube.com

Or view it on their site directly. I'm not registered with youtube so using hooktube was the only way I could see this video.

Edit 2: Loving the music too. It's usually the first thing I turn down or completely off when I play a game of this type but not this time if that trailer's anything to go by.

I'm not familiar with this title but it's a steal at that price, so welcome to my library! I'm sure I can recompense Nordic with a future purchase.
