Quoting: redneckdrowUsed to use it, but since it went proprietary, I've found alternatives. Such as Pixelorama (really neat), Krita (my favorite program to color images with), Gimp, Inkscape, and so on.

I just hate it when a FOSS app goes proprietary for reasons such as him being upset about it being in distros repositories. Why did he bother making it GPL if he didn't want it distributed and modified in the first place then?! :><:

Also, Krita seems to do okay with sales, so Aseprite's dev's argument about open source hurting his bottom line is crap! He posted a huge talk about it years ago, which I'm too lazy to look up. Why does he think we call Linux based OSes "Distrobutions"?

Sorry :S:, had to get that out of my system. Politics aside it is a good program, just haven't used it in a while.
Totally agree. Fortunately, somebody forked it on the last commit before the license was changed. It's called LibreSprite [External Link], and it's what I've been using.

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

I've been playing Stardew Valley and Hedon, lately. Very different games but both super fun. I can understand why so many people love Stardew Valley, it's very engrossing.

Quoting: PopeRigbyI just hope we can have a native Linux port for Doom Eternal. It seems unlikely, but not impossible.
Bethesda is a legacy publisher, so I wouldn't expect anything from them. What we can expect, are desktop Linux versions form normal publishers and developers. Someone like Larian for example. Or may be CD Projekt Red, though the later are shifting to the side of legacy publishers gradually, which is sad.
I definitely don't have my hopes up.

Graphics remind me of Maze War [External Link], the first ever FPS.

Do you think it's a good idea to buy it once it's out of EA? I want to experience it in its finished state.

Hopefully they release this one on itch.io too. I like to get my games from there if possible.
