No reason to hold grudge against this developer, NS2 supported Linux when hardly any game did. And by now, NS2 has ran its course, this sort of move is well justified.

So, I won't even be able to play the new character, as I haven't completed the game yet. Reaching the final boss isn't that hard if you had some luck with the relics. But beating the corrupt heart is unbelievable pain, not only do you need a great deck, but also a ton of luck with the draw, as the boss is a huge damage sponge and will kill you in just few turns.

Quoting: 14Oh my. Did anyone not want Slay the Spire or Distance from last month? ;) I might need to head over to Steam Trades.I got the bundle for Slay the Spire and it was definitely worth it. I'm thinking about maybe keeping State of Mind, the rest is trade bin material.
One of our favourite games Slay the Spire is getting even better on Linux with a new beta up

Problems that I've run into have been screen flickering and trigger buttons on my joypad not working. Oh, and the artefact that was supposed to return me to life with 50% health didn't activate during the last boss fight, that was annoying.
I too wasn't overly impressed with the game in the beginning, but it has a way of getting you addicted. Which is perfectly ok, since it doesn't do micro-transactions and other nefarious stuff.

I'm thinking about Danganronpa, game ratings are amazing, but again, these niche games with their own fan base tend to have overinflated ratings. Not sure if a Japanese visual novel is actually my thing.
The next Humble Monthly is out, with a nice deal for Linux gamers

I clicked cancel the subscription only so I could get $2 off the price, but there is no way I'd miss a bundle with StS in it, it was basically the only video game that I didn't have and I really wanted. It's got cards, style, tactic, classy dev, all the ingredients that I like and so many positive reviews can't be wrong.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice works great in Proton, and that's the reason I got this bundle, but unfortunately, the game is a disappointment for me. Both combat and puzzling failed to impress me so far. There is a lot of style to the game, but in this case style didn't triumph over substance. I understand why this game had to be confusing and annoying, it's a game about mental illness after all, but it does nothing to help me want to play it. I'll endure a bit more, maybe it gets better as I go, but I doubt it.
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is a pleasent surprise, didn't even know it has Linux client. Looks like my kind of thing, I spent more time on TBS than any other games. On the down side, I know nothing about Warhammer 40,000 universe.
The rest I'll probably just trade away. Road Redemption does look sweet, but I doubt it would hold my attention for more than 15 minutes. I'll skip the next month, not for me.

Steam Play Proton 4.2-6 is out, DXVK rebuilt for increased performance

You have to add -dx9 (in lower caps) in the 'set launch options...' in the game properties window, otherwise it will freeze in the cut scene when entering the cemetery.

Quoting: PatolaOk, I switched to 418.56. So far, the only thing I can say is that XMR mining performance got absolutely wrecked. I'll try some video games to see if there are any noticeable improvements.Quoting: morbiusI'm still on 410 stable. Am I losing out on something important?Of course. dxvk's main features for example. Proper Vulkan support and the likes.
