Friday has come and so will the livestream! Today at 6 PM UTC the Friday Livestream (brought to you by me, Samsai) will provide some live Linux gaming and the near nonsensical commentary that comes with it. So set up your favourite viewing device and tune to our Twitch channel for the show!

It's been a while since I put a question to the community, so here it is! What are you currently playing and what do you think about it?

Ghost Blade HD was a day-1 Linux release and looks like a good one if you're a bullet-hell fan! It even has co-op support to bring a buddy along.

Now this has me excited! In MachiaVillain you are the villian, specifically you're building an evil mansion to trap innocent victims.

Here's your chance to bag an awesome Linux game for cheap, Mad Max is currently 50% off on the Feral Store.

I was sent a link to Pine, an open-world adventure game currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter. The way they describe it and their openness about Linux support has me interested.

A reader asked me to reach out to Stardock about their Linux plans, specifically for Galactic Civilizations III as they said they would port it with Vulkan. I didn't get an answer on that specifically, but Vulkan has put them in a better position to port.

Hyperspace Dogfights sounds really fun and it's starting to look really good too. The developer sent across the new teaser trailer along with some more information on their air brawling and a roguelike mix.

The latest and greatest Mesa release 17.1 is due for release on May 5th, so not long for everything to get polished up.

Day of Infamy is a pretty darn good FPS and they finally have their SteamOS icon on Steam to show off their Linux support. Oh, they also announced their released date and put out a whopper of a patch today.

The next title from Aspyr Media's publishing efforts has been announced as 'InnerSpace', an exploration flying game set in a world where physics are inverted.

Stellaris is a game I want to put a lot more time into, but lots of annoyances along with not enough content keep me from it. It sounds like the new DLC and free patch will fix a lot.

Victor Vran is about to get bigger as Fractured Worlds along with Motörhead: Through the Ages are both set to release in the Spring. The trailer for Fractured Worlds is now here!

Leaving Lyndow is a short and beautiful looking adventure game that came to Linux due to 'popular demand'. The developer sent in a copy, so I played through it and here's some thoughts.

NEXT JUMP: Shmup Tactics sounds like an interesting game. It's done in the style of old shoot 'em up games, but turned into a turn-based strategy. A tactical shoot 'em up, if you will.

Today I tried out GNOME Twitch, a native desktop application for watching Twitch streams and it's really quite amazing.

Today I was sent a link to SDL2 Gamepad Tool from Seru on Discord, it's described as an alternative to the Steam Big Picture configurator for gamepads.

Wine-Staging 2.3 has now been officially released as they continue to improve their CSMT implementation.

Strife: Quest for the Sigil was both a critical and commercial disappointment for Rogue Entertainment in 1996, and the source code to the game was mislaid by its developers. Years later work begin on reverse engineering Strife using the released Doom code. Night Dive Studios would later use this community project to craft The Original Strife: Veteran Edition.

I've been waiting on this for a while now! Faeria is a free to play (don't pass it up yet) turn-based battler using cards.
