I'm playing poke-the-buttons-on-the-desktop.

It's very boring, I should play something else.

I set up a Skyrim profile to play Skyrim in Wine.
It works pretty well for the most part. =D

My guess is some software engineer in the company saw the Twitter convo and spent a couple weeks grumbling at management about how it was already almost working anyway. :P

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

I haven't gotten the survey in...

Uhh....

A long, long time.

THE EVIL PARANOID TINFOIL HAT CRAZY PERSON inside of me suspects that Valve might be evilly reducing their Linux survey rate for evil reasons that revolve around future big game releases or other evil reasons, when they might start polling normally.

But that should be disregarded because I _KNOW_ it's crazy-talk.

Editorial: Valve have not abandoned SteamOS or Linux, things are looking pretty good

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: Linux tayshadyThe fact that you're posting this news article and not news about big games coming out on Linux is a big tell though.
Oh, come on, this website is frequently posting articles about upcoming and just-released games.
I post news about new games practically every day. It was just a rare Sunday where I took some time away from news (trust me, my inbox is fucking rammed full now).

I am working on our new stats page I shared with Patreon supporters (check my Patreon if you are a supporter!). That is why I am quiet at the moment.
Your average game-posts-per-day ratio can probably be charted over time, and I imagine it'd show a definite upward trend. And that, sir, THAT would be the real tell.
