Every Linux gamer should have this one on their account.

I've not experienced any crashes as far as I can recall, btw. On Ubuntu 64bit/Nvidia latest.

Ok so now I have regained hope for Star Citizen to also come to Linux. I have never given up hope about it becoming awesome, though. I think it will be stellar. But boy does it take it sweet time in getting done.

Of course I'll buy it. Nobrainer, especially if this indeed is the last from Jensen for a while. Want every last adventure from this excellent franchise.

the story is told without any dialogue or written text.
This may not sound like a big deal for most, but it really is for non English speaking kids. It makes the games so much more accessible. I've got too many games that's great for my kids, had it not been for them being in English only.

I simply do not have the time for these kind of games.

This seems to be the artistic style more and more games aim for - could we call it a trend? I really like it, looks fantastic. Just don't overdo it. It's specal cause it's unique.
A developer from Feral Interactive has sent in yet another Mesa patch for the 'radv' Vulkan driver
14 Mar 2017 at 7:46 am UTC
Quoting: babaiAnother reason to support Feral. This makes me want to buy games that I won't even play coz these dudes improve the drivers that would make all games play better!
I'm gonna buy Dirt Rally with my next salary even though I can't stand simulators, for this exact reason.
We are at a point now where we really really depend on a few parties out there, Valve obviously but Feral too is right there amongst the core parties.
City Climber, a silly physics-based game about climbing released for Linux, some thoughts

Really love the art style.

For some reason it made me recall and miss the Katamari games! Man those were fun.

Carefully nuanced with "rather" to not overdo it, so british. And let's cram the entire article into the headline - that's classic Liam. Never change, dude. <3
There's a fork of Wine-Staging that allows you to play Overwatch on Linux, still needs work

So... unplayable (at least for now). Sadly, that 100% sums up my Wine experience thus far.

Wine is a nice initiative and supposedly works fairly well if you set your mind to it, but I'd more want Wine to be used by the distributors (instead of their own proprietary solutions) as a wrapper for games that will not be (or can't be) ported.
