Honestly, even though they say "retro" a lot, It doesn't look like anything earlier than Half-Life 2. So not all that retro, especially if you turn off the artificial pixelation.

Not seeing a lot in the video that sets it too far apart from the other shooters coming out though, so I guess they have to sell it on something.

I really don't understand how all this GoG stuff on Lutris even works. Everything I already had installed is just seen by Lutris as a regular Linux game with no real connection to GoG (even though they all get put in a "GoG Games" folder). Is it supposed to separate them out the way it does with Steam games?

So in any case, I figured let's try uninstalling a game and re-installing it to see if that works. I picked Eschalon: Book I since it's a pretty quick download. It says it's available, so I hit the install button, only to get an error message saying that no installer exists. So I guess I have to install manually anyway? I have no idea, all it gives me is the dialogue for adding a generic already-installed Linux game. So...maybe? I do know that now there's a grayed-out entry for it in the area that should only be installed games and I don't know how to remove it (Does "remove from library" remove it altogether? It's unclear.).

Maybe it's wiser I don't bother with that at all. It seems intimidating and easily broken to me.

Hmm. Just installed it and it doesn't detect games I have bought and downloaded from GoG, and doesn't detect Linux games that I have installed on my HD that aren't from Steam. In fact, unlike Lutris there isn't even a filter for non-Steam/GoG/Humble games, which makes it a bit less useful than it might be.

Still waiting for one of these game managers to have Itch integration.

Oh, I played the demo a while back. It was fun, was wondering when the real thing would come out.

I backed it, but I'm basically waiting for it to be complete before actually playing it (aside from seeing if it runs at all, which I've done). Looke very impressive so far though.

Not sure why they're trying to make a connection to DOOM with the name and visual style of the logo. There's nothing else in the trailer that makes any kind of callback to it.

Why don't the monsters just climb in those windows?

That said, Liam probably hits like a penguin. :P

Quoting: dpanterEnjoy this random feedback thought...

Perhaps a more fitting name would be Linux Gaming News Pinch (pinch; noun - a very small amount)
Not sure the 'punch' idiom is working.

But a punch is quick and has great impact.
