My top list of must-have strategy games on Linux as of right now

Quoting: feketenapWhat? No CIV V? I think it is the most addictive of them all.
While I like it, it's not a personal favourite as of right now.

Good deals @ajgp, I've added them in.

The Feral Interactive store has Tomb Raider for a stupid price, go grab it

Quoting: GBeeThis article is just WRONG, I just went to the Feral store and they REFUSED MY PEANUTS. I tried monkey nuts, honey roasted, salted and even some fancy peanuts in a presentation tin from Marks and Spencer but they still didn't give me Tomb Raider.

YOU SUCK LIAM!
Shit sorry, it's cashew nuts, my bad.

Quoting: GBeeHas anyone come across good deals on either the MSI Gaming or Asus Strix GTX 1080?
Depends on where you live, deals are different for each country often.

Quoting: ajgpI will have to look at donating at somepoint, but family comes first especially around Christmas (bloody expensive time of year) so it may have to wait til the new year.
I know all too well how expensive this time of year is, multiple birthdays to deal with!

Quoting: ajgpHowever; If I may put a comment across regarding the site, my only concern with donating is the content of the twitter feed. I personally agree with your political leanings and share your concerns about privacy etc. However I feel that perhaps these comments are more suited to personal twitter accounts rather than the one associated directly with the site.
While I can see where you're coming from, I feel it's important to highlight things like privacy especially when someone is directing it at our official Twitter account.

If only Twitter had a way to filter to only our tweets so people who weren't interested in retweets could do so, that would be sweet.

Ballistic Overkill, the cheap and fun online FPS updated with a new progression system and weapon skins

Quoting: operaLooks interesting. I really would like to play a CoD like game in the living room with a controller. According to steam site infos this game doesn't have controller support. Hope this will come in a future update.
That's what the Steam Controller is for ;)

I'm a huge fan of FPS progression and customization, so this game really speaks to me.
I know it's considered sacrilege to speak good of it in the gaming community but this is a key element that made Call of Duty multiplayer so enjoyable. Would you say this game provides a similar experience?
It didn't, until this update. I also entirely agree with you that what makes Call of Duty so damn fun (before they over-did the re-hashes) was the player customization.

It's not as in-depth as Call of Duty, but this is only the start.

It has certainly got me interested in Ballistic Overkill again, it just makes it feel like it's much more worth putting time into.

You can see what they are working on right now too: https://trello.com/b/Sw21AFJx/ballistic-overkill-public-task-lists-vote-on-what-you-want-in-the-game [External Link] (they have lots of good stuff planned and generally deliver on them too!)

The maps even feel a little like CoD, as they are small, focused and interesting to play on.

Quoting: GuestI want to pay. I really, really want to pay. But you see I'm committed to not paying for Windows/wine/eOn games (...). And so I'm conflicted about paying for a site that so supportive of them.
Reporting news on a specific technology does not equate to supporting or encouraging it. If some developer makes a game run on Linux using Wine or eON, I sure do want to know about it. Even if I may choose not to buy it.
A good point thanks for explaining it better than I could have at the time :)

Quoting: buenaventuraI had essentially given up gaming (which was too bad since it is very important to me) since going over to GNU/Linux for other reasons, GoL has helped me get back into it!
Thanks for the kind words, it's really pleasing to hear!

Quoting: Tchey5€ a month feels too much for the content of the website, i would pay 1€ or 2€, without premium, only to support "somehow", like i support other websites like general news (not video game related, i mean world news) and other topics.
Hey! No worries at all, if you don't think it's worth it then feel free to continue to read for free. Part of the point of Patreon is so that not everyone has to do it at all, but thanks to the people that do we have no annoying adverts and never will. We will never time-lock articles for certain groups of people either thanks to it.

If there's things I can do to make you think it may be worth it, by all means let me know :)

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTYou also have my bow, my axe and all that stuff now! :'D
I shall accept those weapons and use them to defeat our foes! <3

I use this on several servers and enables me to add SSL to all my projects for free :-D.

Just sayin' you could save some money regarding the SSL ;).
Thanks, I am keeping an eye on it for when the current one runs out :)
