Regarding GoG's Linux support, I can't recall where I read it (it may have been during a conversation on Mastodon), but I've been told that they only have one person in charge of Linux updates, and they don't tend to respond to emails promptly. Which is a huge disadvantage for Linux devs since, as was noted on an article here on GoL, updates are sent to them via manual FTP and then manually applied at their end. So not exactly good service on their part.

Wait, this is already set on my Steam client (I don't remember manually setting it before, so it must have done so automatically), and yet I am able to go search for a Windows game that I've heard is good and works on Proton, put it on my wishlist, and still receive sale emails about it. Pretty sure I've received sale emails about No Man's Sky, for instance. Am I imagining all that?

Only video I watched on Steam was Kung Fury, and that was free.

CRASHLANDS, which was generously donated to me by someone from the most recent bundle. It's absorbing and the writing is really good. The game does a pretty good job at disguising the grind of gathering various sorts of crafting materials as something actually fun to do. The combat is pretty interesting, being entirely point-and-click action RPG style.

CAVES OF QUD, an absorbing but often intensely frustrating experience. The enormous game world remains a mystery largely because of how horrifically unbalanced the game is, often throwing higher levelled creatures into low-level areas that you simply aren't equipped to deal with. Thus, early deaths are very common, leaving you to wonder what lies beyond the western edge of the map. That said, the character builds have a nice wide variety to them, the powers are fun on the rare runs where you get a decent enough level (my record, after 45 hours of play, is level 17) and the writing is quite good. Not sure I'd recommend it based on the balance issues though, that's how bad they are.

ENDERAL: FORGOTTEN STORIES is a Windows game yeah, but I figured since it's a Skyrim mod and I can run Skyrim fine with Steam Play (except the underwater thing), I should be able to play this. No dice, they buggered it up so the launcher dies so the whole game is inaccessible. I haven't the patience to re-download it in a VM and try it that way, so oh well.

Hmm. The only thing I'd actually be interested in is Crashlands. Guess I'll be sitting this one out.

Quoting: silmethBest computer RPG ever.

And nice graphics (it has dynamic shadows!).

Don't forget the colour blind mode!

If the trailer is anything to go by, there are some seriously high production values on this project. Not in a position to Kickstart stuff right now, but I'll definitely keep an eye on it if it comes to Early Access or full release.

Nice to see they're going for something a little more in terms of "retro inspired" than merely copying the look and capabilities of early SNES games.

Hopefully someone's working on Itch integration.

Can't say I'm that much of a fan of the idea that turning the sidebar off means both sidebars vanish. I'd like to be able to turn the one on the right off and just have it show when I need it, but the only options are all or nothing.

Edit: I'm getting some weird behaviour where the right sidebar will be replaced by some sort of ferret logo, with no obvious way to get back the previous menu that was there. Also, I was playing Caves of Qud and it didn't recognize when I quit the game. Ended up having to restart Lutris to restore normal functionality.

Caves of Qud, mostly. Although I might take a look at Slay the Spire later. I haven't played it since coming out of EA and I gather there's some new animations and such.

They have said before they plan to add another character. Looking forward to that.
