I don't have a desk. My "setup" is wherever I plunk my laptop. Often its on the island in our kitchen. Or my lap on the couch. Or the table, Or, well, you get the idea...

Kona, a good looking first person adventure game now in Early Access, some thoughts

I bought it on GOG recently. I don't generally care for Early Access (or In Development, as GOG calls it), but as a Canadian I couldn't not support a Canadian developer making a game set in Canada that supports Linux.

Life Is Strange looks like it will come to SteamOS & Linux

Cool! I won episode 1 on steamgifts, but I haven't played it yet. I guess I'll hold off playing it until we see if it actually comes to Linux. If so, I'll gladly pick up the rest.

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition expansion Siege of Dragonspear same day release for Linux

I'll wait for it on GOG.

Quoting: FeistWhoa, that´s quite a relief. The BG games are among my all-time favorites and I am really eager to see if this special "in-between-game", can live up to the old titles. I´ll pre-purchase as soon as the listing goes up on steam! ^_^
Overhaul / Beamdog have been a bit hit and miss in my opinion. I like some of what they've done, and don't like other stuff.

I'll still pick this up, because, well, Baldur's Gate, but I'm not holding my breath that it's going to be remotely as good as the original content.

What game would you most like to see on Linux this year?

Deus Ex's
Fallout's
Skyrim
MX vs. ATV of some sort. C'mon Nordic!

Quoting: GuestCool, too bad it’s multiplayer-only.
That's the nail in the coffin for me. Otherwise, I'd probably check it out.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Linux & SteamOS port has been put on hold

I won it in a giveaway on GOG. I too have been putting off trying to play it waiting on the Linux version.

Hopefully it still happens one day.

Torment: Tides of Numenera launches in Early Access without Linux support, coming much later

Quoting: ShmerlOn a side note, if you are interested in classic RPGs, take a look at this project:

I'm pretty well done with kickstarting stuff, and I don't really care for episodic games, but ..... that looks pretty cool.

Quoting: KeyrockAs someone who gives zero ****s about early access, this doesn't bother me at all, so long as we get day 1 Linux support for the final release. I do understand how it might bother other people who want to beta test this, though.
This.

I don't like early access. I burned myself out on Kerbal Space Program long before the official release, and I still haven't played the release even though I've seen there are some pretty cool things that didn't exist the last time I played it. That was a lesson learned - wait for the actual release before playing a game.

I absolutely get that Linux users who backed at the beta-test levels would be annoyed though - there was never any mention that the Linux version would be later, or not available for beta access. That's always the gamble with crowd funding though. I've been burned enough times on the crowd funding now that I don't get too emotional about it. I also don't crowd fund things any more.

Skyborn, a popular 2D RPG is now on SteamOS & Linux

I got this as a part of a bundle on Indie Royale awhile ago. Sadly, I gave away the steam key, and redeemed the Desura key. Not too surprising, but the Linux version isn't available on Desura or IndieRoyale.
