Mostly oldschool (WotLK) WoW on a private server via Wine. Probably not going to be doing much native Linux gaming for a couple more weeks.

Ah, that was pretty much my experience with the earlier versions on Itch. It's a grand idea, but marred by the fact that you're maybe learing about a dozen or so words without much context, and no idea how to assemble them into sentences. I was really hoping by full release they would have at least tried to address that.

I think if you were to learn a language from a game like this, it would require far more depth, and far more actual interactive instruction. A pity you won't find it here.

It's just so... wrong. PC describes the hardware, not the software.

EXACTLY. PC means Personal Computer, not WINDOWS computer. The term applies to any general computing device regardless of OS. Linux, Apple, Windows, etc all fall under the umbrella term PC.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that PC was a synonym for Windows.

Sweet! If that's true, that could be my kind of game. Is it controller friendly? Let's say like Victor Vran? I prefer WASD or controller stick movements to point & click with mouse.

Controller friendly would be amazing, since that's one thing I wanted most for the original TL2.

I think given how many games out there, the spread of potential negative reviews of games that don't get on board with compatability would be thinned out so much as to have little impact. I wouldn't worry about that very much, and I doubt Valve has that as part of their strategy.

I do think having more accurate numbers of people actually using Linux as a gaming platform, which is bound to be quite a bit higher than what's currently being reported, will be a pretty good motivator to get companies more friendly to things like Vulkan.

As far as I know, you can't play Skyrim using Proton yet. Or am I wrong?

I assure you that you can, and it actually works extremely well.

Is that the original? Because I hear Special Edition still doesn't run well.

Do I even need to say how obvious it is that this is Skyrim?

Clearly, I do.

Now you've got me remembering 80's Canadian ska/reggae/rock band The Hopping Penguins. Gotta go listen to some of that.

Wow, that's a lot of blur. Is the movement supposed to be as jerky/janky as it is right after the player lands?

I like the addition of explosive barrels, that's a fun touch, but a lot of the environments look pretty bland. There's no real character to them.

Hopefully they'll replace those little text tooltips with something a bit easier to read at a glance. Plus picking up stuff seems a little finicky. The player seems to take a couple of tries to pick something up early in the video. And yeah, the SFX is terrible.

Otherwise though, it seems like a fairly solid Fortnite clone Battle Royale game. Certainly better than a lot of the others on the market.
