I like Fanatical's build your own bundle system, if there were something like that for GOG, it would be very interesting... were it not for the fact I already own pretty much everything I may like on GOG.

For those of you that have this game on Steam (I got it for free at some point), Fanatical has it on sale for even better than GOG:

Great to see another UT99 patch. A couple of years ago when I switched over to linux UT99 deathmatch was my multiplayer mainstay. I'd definitely recommend it but unless you're quite experienced with arena fps it may be worth playing with some mates. Otherwise, you'll quickly learn to get good with hitting sniper headshots while dodging.

Loved this game as a kid!
The installer runs pretty well but unfortunately I can't the game started itself. It shows the error
Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file Entry.
History: UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine <- main
I have no clue how to solve it

The huge variety of games here is amazing. This is a group of consumers that just can't be pinned down or put in a box, I love it! I own Arc Raiders and have about 10 hours in, but every time I think about playing it, I get stressed. So I have mostly been playing Breakout Recharged

I have felt this way about Megabonk. Players are not the one placing the attacks or landing the hits. Players are just in charge of positioning, navigating the map and selecting upgrades. It's perfect. Automate the grunt work. Hand-off the rest to the player who can now focus more deeply on what really matters.

D-pad in the wrong location. Pass.
That's the XBOX360 location, which I was quite used to... about 20 years ago. It's got the XBOX markings though, so it makes sense.

Just finished [My Time at Sandrock](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1084600/My_Time_at_Sandrock/) after about 200 hours - excellent game with solid mechanics, lots of humour, and even some touching moments. As an evolution of My Time at Portia it was pretty much what I had hoped for!
I also finished [American Arcadia](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249040/American_Arcadia/) in a few hours - I was expecting a point & click adventure but instead it's an interesting mix of platforming and puzzle game. Impressive presentation, great voice acting, decent story with some twists - the only annoying aspect was the opaque checkpoint system, but overall it's a game worth your time!
Now intermittently playing [Road 96](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1466640/Road_96/) on the Deck and [The Multi-Medium](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2077380/The_MultiMedium/) on the PC while trying to decide what to play next. I was going to finally start [Baldur's Gate 3](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1086940/Baldurs_Gate_3/), but I'll give it some more time for the native Deck/Linux version to bake (hey, I've waited this long...)
I think I will play [Outer Wilds](https://store.steampowered.com/app/753640/Outer_Wilds/) instead, a game that I've owned for years and started a few times but inexplicably never progressed past the starting area. I guess it's finally time to see if it's really the masterpiece that everyone says it is...

Reading about what's currently being played among the (Gaming On) Linux community and the experiences is really nice, gives even some ideas on what to play next.
)
Yet, I have been playing games:
Game On!
So, what have you been playing lately (and why isn't it ARC Raiders?).Hm, so this sounds like it's safe to get it? Unlikely to be suprised in the near future with a non working game for gamers using Linux? Because so far that's my reason (and my pile of games and thus monetary considerations
Yet, I have been playing games:
- Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop
I've been to a few LAN parties recently, and this has become our go to coop game. It's free, it's good, it's fun... it's hard
What turned out as a tech demo from Valve has turned into a nice community project. And I love Alien themed games. - Arizona Sunshine Remake
VR on Linux... yeah, that's its own topic. But when it works, it's sooo good! And as Steam Link VR now works on Linux, I got a Quest 3, after testing wireless VR on Linux with the Quest 3S from my little son. And as Steam Link VR does sometimes have issues, I tried WiVRn, and Steam Link VR vs WiVRn is like Steam VR vs Monado. When working, it's better than Steam's version. Especially when using nVidia, as async reprojection is still an issue with wired HMDs. Not so with wireless HMDs. So now I'm playing wireless VR on Linux cooperatively with my son
- Escape Simulator
Same as with Arizona Sunshine Remake, works with WiVRn and we play it coop. Unfortunately (well, it's not that much of an issue) I have to switch from the native Linux version to Proton, as the native Linux versions doesn't support VR. - Returnal
Hard, rogue lite, good. Still haven't finsihed it, but it plays so good with the MoveMaster, it's a game I can dive in for an hour or two, trying to get back into the flow... but also then end again. Hopefully I improved a bit, as I still want to have a complete run at some point. - No Man's Sky
Expedtion 20: Breach. Played this, started in VR, finished on Steam Deck. Labor of love game. NMS is so good and that it's still updated after almost 10 years with such dedication is such a joy. One of my all time favorites. - Fall Guys
Speaking of all time favorites, this is also one of them. Playing it almost daily, completing the dailies, though after finishing the Fame Pass it's not really daily anymore. The rewards in shards for completing the dailies is ridiculous. Yet a fun game, easy to learn... sometimes hard to master. The only "competetive" game I play online :D
And I'm better at it on Deck than I am on Desktop PC with Stadia Controller
Game On!

But I'm positively surprised, that Cookie Cutter will get a re-release on many platforms, I sure would continue playing it.

I struggle to find some game to truly grab me. I recently finished Detroit: Become Human which was awesome, but I don't have something to follow it up with. Civilization 6 is good, but it is rare to get a good starting setup to keep it interesting, often you win or lose by the turn 50, plus it gobbles us unholy amounts of time. I found Control boring, I'm going to try Talos Principle next.

Forza Horizon 5 and Jurassic World Evolution 3, but recently I got the urge to play some more classic PC games from the 2000s. I'm ordering some (used CDs) for my birthday and see if I can get them to run. Ahh, the nostalgia!
