Quoting: EikeOf course, that's a biased top ten. League of Legends e. g. would be in there if it would be on Steam. But it's still great.
This is not about games outside of Steam though, this is directly looking at Steam.

Something about SOMA didn't hook me. Can remember walking through water at one point a little bored. Shame, love the setting and the visuals, but I do need to give it another go.

Yes it is Paragon, but then Epic Games made their own game named Paragon. Some sort of deal was made and the new name came up. I just hope Epic were nice about it, considering this game had the name first.

What have you been playing on Linux recently and what do you think about it?

Quoting: Shadowsedge117I also watched the entire Alien franchise for the first time ever - I know, late to the party - and jumped at the chance to purchase Isolation when it went on sale. I've been playing some of that, but as much. Partially because I'm terrified about confronting the Xenomorph.
The important question: What was your favourite Alien film, 1,2 or 3?

Quoting: tuubiThe game seems really fun. Too bad my friends have probably already lost interest, and playing with random strangers isn't really my cup of tea. I'll most likely still get it but I might have to wait for a sale. Happily the Steam summer sale isn't far off.
Then join in some games with the GOL community, I am sure there will be plenty ;)

You misunderstood my question, I know there is the change in SteamDB but since it doesn't show up here [External Link] unless you are looking for it you are not going to find it. I'm impressed that you reported on the news quite fast despite that.
Someone pointed it out in the GOL IRC, so I checked it myself :)

Quoting: KuduzkehpanBring EVE online to VULKAN engine. Everything will be easy and painless also on eve online forums and in-game chats CCP has a lot of Linux channels and linux users. Also mac users. so if they dont want to be get out of market of mac linux VULKAN İS A MUST
Vulkan does not run on Mac OSX.
mac os will support vulkan its not so different than OpenGL and METAL wont gonna be popular or Trending. And vendors are more mature to build vulkan ready graphic drivers for mac os.
Unless you know something the rest of the industry doesn't, Mac will not support Vulkan. Apple are putting their eggs in the Metal basket. Apple make/approve the drivers, so you can't just slot Vulkan into Mac like you can do on Linux and Windows.
