The beat 'em up Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans left Early Access recently

Quoting: TheSHEEEP
Quoting: FeistNot a big fan of this type of game but I bought it anyway. I used to love their movies when I was a kid and if Netflix bought the rights, then I would stock up on tons of Beer, beans and hotdogs and have myself a whole weekend movie-marathon. :D
They are available on Amazon Prime. At least on the German one (no idea about the other, but I guess there, too as Amazon is quite international).
I even got myself a VPN to watch it from my location.
THANKS!<3

I had no idea any streaming service had picked em up yet. I can even see them for free with the 7 day membership, I think at least one of the titles they have is something that I never saw back in the day.

Now the only question is whether to dive right in or save them for some suitable summer-days. :S:

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is now available, a few thoughts
8 May 2018 at 7:00 pm UTC

This will be great!! Although, my first playthrough was kind of a let down, it took less than 20 minutes to bring me to the end credits, all because I didn´t want to sign up to be the personal errand boy of some alleged godess. :'(

Harebrained Schemes confirm again Linux support for BATTLETECH is a high priority
4 May 2018 at 10:13 am UTC

I feel pretty excited by this, even more so after all the positive reviews that it has recieved. The idea of playing a turn-based mech-game has really grown on me, even though I´ve had almost no prior contact with "mechs" in games or movies.

Still, I admit that I do feel just a tad annoyed that they could do a simultaneous release of both win & mac versions but not tux. If it had been a windows only release, it wouldn´t have produced quite the same feeling of "The OS Left Behind". :'(

Rise of the Tomb Raider has a new opt-in beta to help with NVIDIA issues
1 May 2018 at 7:31 am UTC

Nice! I had quite some trouble with repeated crashing on 396. However, when I switched to 390 those issues went away and I couldn´t notice any obvious change to performance or graphics, so I think I´ll just stick with that driver for now. "If it ain´t broken..." and all that.

The developer of Helium Rain gave an update on their sales, low overall sales but a high Linux percentage

I meant to buy this game after I finished "Everspace" but since it was early access and there were so many other upcoming titles on the horizon, I decided to wait for a bit. I will certainly purchase it soon though.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is now officially available on Linux, here’s a look at it with benchmarks

Oh no, I was actually hoping for some initial performace problems, so I could hold off on buying until some more money drops into my account. However, with performance like *this*, I have to buy at once...it's the law. :'(

Roguelike narrative card game 'Cultist Simulator' to release with Linux support on May 31st

This does look rather interesting. I had missed this as well but hearing that it comes from the developer of "Sunless Sea" makes it quite promising.

I like the whole lovecraftian style of the game but I hope there´s a bit more graphical razzle-dazzle to the game, other than these rather bland looking cards.

Nightdive Studios show off how System Shock is returning to the original vision
13 Apr 2018 at 5:27 pm UTC

Sounds rather hopeful at least.

Though I am kind of curious about what *precisely* they were cooking up before they started over. Was it really so wrong/disastrous/fragmented as they are making it sound like? Or could most of what they had worked on been integrated into the finished game without making the end result a horrific "non-system shock" failure...?

2nd generation AMD Ryzen desktop processors now available to pre-order
13 Apr 2018 at 2:44 pm UTC

I considered waiting for this, when I bought my Ryzen a few weeks ago. However, everything I read suggested that improvements and performance boosts would not be very significant.

So, I figured that I might as well buy a "zen-cpu", skip the "zen+" generation and then look at possibly upgrading to a "zen2" cpu in 2019 or 2020.
