Damn this looks intense! I might buy it soon.

As for the comments on Proton vs native... The one game I've clocked up a lot of hours with is No Man's Sky. On Linux. It runs flawlessly, and it runs on Linux, hence I'm Gaming On Linux.

TBH, with the amount of frustration there can be with targetting Linux natively I almost prefer Proton sometimes. The Linux ecosystem is too damned fragmented, with many distros being out of sync with library versions compared to one-another. Hmm, I'd like to see DRM free games be released using either snap or flatpak now, even better would be Valve incorporating one of those in to Steam.

Seriously... several dozen distros. All packaging the same user apps and games, just differently, for a massive duplication of effort. Can we please embrace snaps and flatpaks, and get a "base" Linux install, with all user apps installed this way.

There's this for the interim shockolate [External Link]

Damn, I can't wait for this!

This makes me want to see Gish re-released! That was a great game too.

Since finding out that NMS works amazingly well with Proton I've put in 83 hours.
My time with PN? Bursts of 5 minuute plays, less than an hour. I gave up because it performs absolutely awful.

Damn! The atmosphere reminds me of Dreamweb for some reason. Very different game, but I guess it's the art style?

I just purchased this game because of this article.

I purchased this game because the article tells me:

• It's good


• It runs on Linux

How it runs on Linux doesn't matter one iota, as long as it runs. Yes I will still always prefer an actual native port, but for (many varied) reasons that isn't always possible.

Ugh, that pipe swing animation is awful. Nobody swings anything with intent to damage by holding their support hand that high.

They could have easily used the Athlon 200GE CPU, it's pretty damn decent for what it is.

Quoting: MohandevirDo you smell it? Could this be the scent of a Steam streaming service? :)

You mean like the one I said Valve would do :P

Can I borrow your magic 8-ball? I need a wining lotto-ticket.
