I recommend this site:

I don't agree with him either, but that doesn't make him a troll. We've all got opinions. I've got all the best opinions, but that's beside the point. ;)

Quoting: tuubiCould you add one of those handy countdown timers to the sidebar as well?

Done, if JS is disabled it will show the date instead.

Thanks! Maybe I'll actually manage to catch a stream once in a while. I did see most of last Friday's (?) stream with Rocket League and Oh...Sir. Dropped out for fear of Deus EX spoilers and missed the Q&A at the end. :(

Quoting: skinnyrafThe Featured section is basically adverts. It is possible, that publishers can pay extra to override user filter settings. Why I think so? Apart from the one game recommended by a friend, two other Windows-only games in my Featured list are Dishonored 2 and COD:IW.

In addition to those I get a few recommendations of obscure non-Linux indie games which are definitely not paid adverts, apparently due to tags shared with games I've played. An obvious bug I think.

EDIT: Screenshots everywhere. I like it. Much less clicking through to individual store pages to know what a game is about.

Philosophy On Linux. You'd drown in Patreon money.

Quoting: liamdaweWell the thing is, with DX12, aren't things supposed to be simpler? So it won't take something like Wine as long?

Simpler?

I bet what he meant is that the D3D 12 API has a very similar, in large parts almost identical design to Vulkan. D3D 11 and OpenGL are quite different. Thus it is reasonable to assume that translating D3D 12 to Vulkan might be much more straightforward than emulating the previous versions of DX with OpenGL.

Sorry if that's not what you meant, Liam.

Quoting: GuestWe need less of this on GoL in my opinion. It gives a bad impression of linux gaming when these fill the front page.

Who gets to pick the games that are cool enough to showcase? Personally I don't mind these articles. AAA games already get plenty of coverage. Several articles before and after release in many cases.

Quoting: MrokiiAs far as I can see and understand the term, there's nothing roguelike in this game.

Like the article states, the upcoming sequel is supposed to have roguelike elements, not this game. Does anyone actually read the articles they comment on?

Your quote has all the Linux games available except for Frozen Cortex, Frozen Synapse, Risk of Rain and Vangers. Of course Metro 2033 Redux is Windows only on GOG for some reason.

Uhh... Weird. Weird is the word. Like an interactive hallucination. A pixelly fever-dream. It's the strange cut-scene in a film where the protagonist has been hit on the head and fallen unconscious. This is undoubtedly art, but I can't see myself enjoying it as a game.
