I have bought the "recent" Revolution games and they work fine on Linux. And I agree with mylka, remaking those 3D games would be nice, I didn't like the style either. Or a new one would also be nice.
Valve fixes up Steam Remote Play - again

Remote play using Steam Link doesn't work at all for me since they switched to the new UI a couple of months ago. Whenever I try to connect with Steam link, Steam immediately crashes. I am on Ubuntu and tried with X and Wayland and it just crashes.
I try it once in a while, but no change.

I am currently not playing at all, but I started with AD&D, went to 3.5 then and disliked 4th Edition immensely. In the mean time I played MERS,Rolemaster, Vampires, Deadlands and Hell on Earth, Shadowrun, ...
I really liked a little German system called ERPS (classless, with some houserules) and Savage Worlds. I found that I prefer mostly classless systems. But a few years ago my longtime group broke up, family, work, ... and I currently don't have the time/energy to start again.
Anyway, I guess, in case I start playing again, it will be online, so I am generally interested in stuff like this. And if there are more competing tools, that's fantastic. More options and more ideas and approaches. So, I hope, this will work out.

Is there a way to zoom it? Completely unusable on a 4K screen (IMHO). And it always seems to start the chat window. How can I rid of it? (I am always signed out and do NOT want it).
I'd rather have the -no-browser option back instead ...

I think, I already have all of them. I am a big fan of the company. I already had several games and when they ported their whole catalog to Linux, well, I bought the rest.
So far, I have liked Primordia best. The story of an apocalyptic world, where only robots live anymore. Quite awesome.
Resonance was pretty good too, but I found the mechanics confusing in the beginning. But later on, once I had the hang of it, it worked pretty well. I really liked the idea that you could put items into memory and use them later on in conversations.

I have played it already and it works fine with some bugs. I have encountered only one really bad save game bug and the developer said in the forum that he found the issue and it will be fixed in the next release.
Players who play it now are beta testers, but for me that's fine. I guess, in a few weeks the worst bugs will be ironed out.
For people who want to play a full game, the game is not finished, there are chapters missing and will be added in the next weeks/months.

Steam Beta update tweaks the new Big Picture Mode from Steam Deck for desktop

Does not really work for me. I usually start Steam with the -no-browser flag (The Steam browser really needs a lot of CPU, which is actually a common problem, I found lots of posts about it) and the current beta crashes at startup.
When I omit the flag, Steam starts but for some reason only some of my games are there. I have added another Steam Library Folder and it doesn't seem to work anymore.
When I go to settings and click "Steam Library Folders", I can see both locations but one is "unusable". The other one seems to work just fine. I can repair the working location but can't even click on the second one.
So, I have disabled the beta now and everything works again.

The surprisingly varied Tower Defense game Warstone TD is now available for Linux

Quoting: GuestIt seems, I worded it badly too. You get resources for everything you complete and only if you complete the multiplayer stuff too, you get everything. It's also a bit of a completionist thingy.Quoting: crabelThe only bad thing IMHO is the multiplayer stuff. You need to play multiplayer games to progress, which is kinda annoying. Especially since there are hardly any players ....WHAT? Uhhh if this is true I have to get a refund before playing more :(.
Edit: one review says the multiplayer missions are not mandatory.

Then there are levels, where your creatures attack in waves and the enemy defends with towers while you have to defend the other line with towers -> You have to split your money. And then there is a level, where you have only one fighter but it can teleport and has some special tricks like throwing spears or multi-hit-attacks.
In general, it is quite different from the Kingdom Rush series, far harder in my opinion, but with several nice ideas.

Quoting: AnzaHaven't played a good tower defense game in a while and this one seems like it doesn't have extra fluff.Oh, I would not say that. It does the usual stuff, armored enemies, ghosts that can only targeted by magic. Shamans(?), when killed, continue on as ghosts, ... But the placement strategy is interesting. You have slabs and can place them. There you can add your heroes. Slabs can be upgraded for extra range or damage. Also you have spells to nuke/slow enemies.
