Quoting: RoosterWhich programming puzzle games would you recommend?
If it's your first
  Human Ressource Machine,
if you already played Human Ressource Machine and Seven Billions Humans,
  if you like it hardcore
    take a look at TIS-100
  otherwise
    take a look at the other games of Zachtronics.


PS: For an even more cute and easy entry, Algo Bot is neat.

Remember the SMACH Z handheld? It's apparently going to be at E3 this year

20 million of Nintendo Switch owners don't agree with that statement.
Well, there are some people not using Switch outside their homes...

Get it!!!
To be honest, even as somebody liking programming puzzle games, I cannot recommend it blindly.
It's a special one. Sure do give it a look, but do so before buying. :)

Quoting: sub"World Environment Day Sale"

Interested in how much negative effect the whole Steam infrastructure plus the local machines running games have on the environment.
Steam itself, less than people driving to markets to buy boxes, made of wood, containing discs coated with some silver-indium-antimony-tellurium, driven through the world beforehand, ..., I would guess.

Quoting: EikeTheir answer is "Zelda".
But what's Smach Z's answer...?
Every PC game
Well, you can play that on every PC... :)

Yeah, I understand, not in the bus, but still... IMHO, it's way too much money to play what you can play elsewhere as well. While many people say Zelda alone is worth the price of the Switch.

Say this to Nintendo.
Their answer is "Zelda".
But what's Smach Z's answer...?

Verde Station, a short first-person sci-fi experience has gone free

Quoting: iiariFor those of you who played it, what is it exactly? Never heard of it.
There's an GoL article about it linked. Basically a walking simulator where you're the only one on a space station, trying to cope with loneliness and boredom.

Playing the fine Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! HD when I find some time.

Ah, and some upcoming point and click game demo with science fiction setting I'm testing. Look forward for an article on your favourite Linux gaming site... ;-)

.Net has been made a standard and AFAIK, Microsoft itself supports it on Linux.
