Quoting: MrokiiI'm into more casual (not necessarily easy or short) games, basically where exploration and finding secrets is the main aspect. I realise that this may not be the right place, but if anybody has suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Your description is rather broad.
Looked through the games I played and came up with...

Quoting: AimelaWell, they're porting to Mac OS as well, so they're kind of forced to develop for OpenGL there because Apple will not support Vulkan since they want to use their own API called Metal. Since they had to make the game work in OpenGL anyway, they probably just kept it in the Linux version for reasons such as compatibility and it's not really any more effort for them.

They do use Metal for the game on Mac.
I guess Vulkan is not ready yet to run well on all cards and (Linux) drivers, so they need OpenGL as well.

Quoting: MrokiiWith HK I became so frustrated that I eventually removed the game completely from my Steam account

Sounds like a love-and-hate relationship. :)

Quoting: themixturemediaThis looks like it would and will be a great kids game. Linux needs more fun kids games just as much as adult AAA games. I would 100% buy this for my daughter I think she would love this game.

If you didn't do yet, take a look at this one, could be fun in co-op with her!

I totally prefer moderation to a toxic environment. Reading GoL should be fun and at least my fun is spoiled by some kinds of behaviour. That said, I'm a regular reader for quite some time now and didn't notice anything. What has happened? Did I miss the right articles?

Spoiler, click me

Yes, right -before- Max rolled back time. The two weeks she spent with Max got erased from history a moment later, remember? She died in the bathroom. She did NOT spend any time reconnecting to her old friend and never grew as a person. The entire game DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Spoiler, click me

She knew that when she said it. Call it timelines are whatever, but it did happen to her and she, although she knew it would be "rewinded", considered it important.

Quoting: g000hDoes anyone know "if" I buy Shogun 2 on Humble (which is currently on Sale there) that Feral, the porters, will get their cut for a Linux purchase or not? https://www.humblebundle.com/store/total-war-shogun-2-collection

TW:S2 isn't really my sort of game, and as such I am very unlikely to pay full price for it. But getting it at a substantial reduction, sure, I can drop some cash and give a little support to a Linux porter.

To the best of common knowledge, Humble is doing well in distinguishing OS sales.

Quoting: Alm888Wow! What a huge stream of wishful thinking! No indication the game will even be on Linux, yet, some people already calling this "great news"…

Of course there's no guarantee, but at least we know that the developers are open to Linux ports and Feral has a connection to them. My guess is that Life is Strange sold well on Linux.
I'm optimistic on this one.
For reasons, not due to whishful thinking.

Quoting: GuestI bought and tried playing that game but found it so boring. What am I missing here?

I had the same after half an hour or an hour.
Tried it again later - prepared that it's slow-paced, especially in the beginning - and I'm very happy I did.

Quoting: KimyrielleMassive spoilers in there. I mean it.

Spoiler, click me

- Because the ending invalidated every single choice you made in the game. No matter what you did, it's in the end all pointless. Nothing you ever did in the game mattered.

Spoiler, click me

Chloe says it did.

Dubigrasu, the game is slow to come into (took me a second try), but I too found the ending very good.
