Worms W.M.D is out day-1 on Linux, here's some early thoughts
25 Aug 2016 at 2:54 pm UTC

Quoting: constMaybe this walkaround then should be added to the article or a new article? A lot of information about game-fixes is really hidden in comments and discussions in this community.
Something like wine's appdb would really be a blessing :(

I'm sure the GOL wiki could facilitate something like this. Just needs someone to make it happen.

We could do with some JRPG goodness. This one doesn't seem half bad.

Tower 57, a modern take on what made AMIGA top down shooter games cool
21 Aug 2016 at 6:58 pm UTC

Chaos Engine is pretty much the only Amiga game of this type I can remember playing... and I didn't like it much. So probably not my cuppa. The art is pretty though.

Frozen State survival game survives Early Access, full version available, falls flat on its face

Out of 350 reviews 80% are positive, I feel like they must be playing a terribly different game to me.
Maybe they don't all share your irrational hatred of the beautiful color green. :P
puke puke puke ;)

Ah, now I see why you ditched Mint in favour of Ubuntu.

No Man's Sky has been shown to work rather well in Wine on Linux
18 Aug 2016 at 2:53 pm UTC

AFAIK it's an in-house engine. And according to Ethan Lee's twitter comments, based on a GL trace the graphics code seems like a weird mess of ancient and modern OpenGL. That can't be good.

Aspyr Media are teasing something to come in three days time (updated)

Quoting: Dax TailorI hope it is a farming simulation, like "Landwirtschafts Gigant" (http://store.steampowered.com/app/259910 [External Link]) ;)

As far as I know there is nothing like it for Linux yet.
We just got Stardew Valley.

Stardew is a fun game about farming (among other things), but it's definitely not a simulator.

Developer claims that a Linux port for retro-themed adventure 'Lucius Demake' may be done if there is interest

Quoting: tuubiI don't see myself paying money for a fan remake...
It isn't a fan demake, because the studio precisely hired the fan who came with the idea.

Yes, I read the article. He got paid for it, but he's still a fan and he remade the game as a demake. Thus "fan remake", or demake as you saw fit to correct me. And I didn't mean that as a insult. Fans create some great stuff.

Demakes are a fun concept, and the C64-style graphics are beautiful in a nostalgic sense, but I don't see myself paying money for a fan remake / vanity project like this. Maybe for fans of classic horror?

What have you been playing recently and how is it?

I was playing Alien: Isolation and Shadow of Mordor, but then my wife discovered Stardew Valley. No other game has been touched since. Not that I'm complaining. The game's an absolute treat.

It is best to assume that it is not. Better for mental health.

Too late to worry about that. Aren't we Linux gamers all a bit nuts? But I guess you're right. Never expect anything and every release is a happy surprise.
