Some pretty broken English there, I hope the game has better writing. Stuff like this puts me off immensely, I gave up (at least for now) on the otherwise excellent Crossing Souls because of it.

It's published by 11bit studios (This War of Mine and the upcoming Frostpunk), who seem very Linux-friendly, nice to see some companies view us favourably.

I like how there’s a line in the screenshot.

When Windows, I think it was Windows 98, started to tell "You can shutdown your Computer now", I was joking one day the computers would tell us we must not shutdown them. Well, here we are... ;-)
It was in Win95 already, back in pre-ATX days when turning your computer on/off was done with a hard switch supplying and cutting power to the mobo. The standard was called AT. Perhaps Win98 had that functionality still, but I was fully on ATX hardware by that time.

Corpse Party, a story-driven adventure and horror game can now be played on Linux

I played it on PSP back when it was a thing. It's really great; I liked it enough to go for all endings. It had very good surround audio when using headphones; I wonder whether that's been preserved here. Highly recommended.

Helicopter combat game 'Heliborne' has left Early Access

And now I have to buy it, not least because they made a Polish camouflage pack for some reason, not that I'm complaining.

It looks very cool. I need to dig up my Thrustmaster HOTAS set. I wonder if it'll work with Linux. I will certainly need to get a joystick port to usb adapter.

GOG are offering you a copy of Torchlight II if you own it from Steam or Runic directly

About the above method: why not buy on GOG directly then? I "bought" (khm. they offered freely) Torchlight I, and it works through Wine.
The term piracy was invented because browsing the internet was called in the past as "Navigating the web", or similar things. Who are the "thieves" who navigate? The pirates. Hence, internet piracy.
The term piracy as pertains to copyright infringement has been in use long before the internet came about. Some 400 years before.

Game developer 'Atlus' issues a DMCA takedown against open source PS3 emulator

Pretty bizarre move, I can't see how someone at Atlus/Sega thought this would be of any benefit to them. And they publish/make such good games, too.

Mesa 17.2 officially released

They don't list LLVM on their compiling page, so maybe it's just that no-one is doing any work to make it compatible?

The developers of 'Darkwood' have put up a free torrent if you can't afford to buy it

I just bought the game from GOG to support the developer. I am glad things have worked out for them.
