Cities: Skylines, probably the best city-builder available on Linux

FIFY :D
Quite right!

Quoting: amkHm, no wonder they are empty, because seriously?
It would be too long, but...some retarded farmers running on pigs who shoot other farmers with plants!?

No, gaming is officially dead.
Clearly you have no sense of humour.

Linux Gaming News Punch - Episode 3
11 Mar 2019 at 11:09 am UTC

Quoting: KohlyKohlThe episodes have not shown up for me with Pocket casts.

I deleted the old feed and it is not showing up at all. I know other feeds have had this problem with Pocket casts and the feed owners have had to get in touch with them to fix it.
I've contacted them again, what I think is that they put feeds that don't get new content for a while onto some sort of pause. Both feeds are perfectly valid and work in Thunderbird and every other reader I tried, so the issue is their end.

Quoting: dpanterEnjoy this random feedback thought...

Perhaps a more fitting name would be Linux Gaming News Pinch (pinch; noun - a very small amount)
Not sure the 'punch' idiom is working.
That is an interesting thought, one I will give some thought to. I mean, it's only a name and not to be taken literally in any way of course. Not sure if I will change it but I will think on it :)

Yep, can confirm it does now show the correct number, so I've removed the note on it from the article.

Quoting: liamdaweSeems they forgot to update the version string, still shows up as 3.16-7 even though it's updated.
That's a bug, you should restart steam to update version string in settings.
I did, many times, it didn't change.

The latest major update to the RTS game Planetary Annihilation: TITANS is out

Quoting: buenaventuraI could get into this, but I find it a little stale that there is just one faction? I'm a starcraft nerd and I love zerg because they play so differently from the others, but this is a little too clinical for me maybe. I have PA:Titans and I might try it sometime anyways!
There's a number of mods, one of the most popular is "The Legion" which deals with exactly that :)

Quoting: MayeulCSo, is it a release in the testing branch, modern branch, base branch, or all of them? I'm currently sitting on modern-testing.
This is an actual release, so the stuff from the testing branch is now out.

Ideally, you want to be on the Modern opt-in beta (not the testing one), which has the more updated libs which will be replacing the legacy (default) install eventually.

WRATH: Aeon of Ruin is the new FPS from 3D Realms, coming to Linux this Summer
7 Mar 2019 at 2:49 pm UTC Likes: 6

Quoting: LeopardFrom FAQ page on Steam:

Which platforms will WRATH release on?
WRATH will be playable on PC this Summer, while the full version will release on PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch, early 2020
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1000410/discussions/0/1835685838066712893/ [External Link]

This indicates Linux will get builds on early 2020. Not this summer.
This seems to contradict the two press emails I got about it, with both saying this:
Get your first taste of WRATH in Summer 2019, for Windows, Mac, and Linux, with Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One following in early 2020.
Got another press email only minutes ago which states that same, that consoles are later. Will seek to clarify.
