Last Moon, a 2D action-RPG with a gorgeous vibrant style will be coming to Linux next year

Makes me think of Zelda and Bastion kinda mixed.

That trailer was well done. I think I want this game already, and I'm not normally one to pick up this style of game.

Canonical have released a statement on Ubuntu and 32bit support, will keep select packages

I don't think Ubuntu has to maintain a legacy-compatible public image. They can move on. There are lots of other distros to choose from. Think of this as an opportunity. You could fork 18.04 and call it Legbunt. It would be totally retro compatible and hipster (read: no one would donate). Sarcasm aside, there will be other options. If you really enjoyed Ubuntu for gaming all this time, well, that is unfortunate. Sorry.

Canonical are now saying Ubuntu's 32bit is not being entirely dropped, 32bit libraries will be "frozen"

I wonder if this is going to make an impact to the GoL user statistics next month or not. I wonder how many will be hasty. I mean, even if the future looks a bit bleak, it's not going to affect the current releases.

It's pretty rare for me to enjoy playing a mobile game on my tower... not sure about this one.

Canonical planning to drop 32bit support with Ubuntu 19.10 onwards

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm a huge supporter of Debian as a desktop / server, whatever.
It really goes like this, use stable with backports (namely kernel / nvidia driver, if you have such hardware, etc.) with the debian-multimedia repo, and you're pretty much set. Then you can wait about a year into stable, then switch to testing, since their release cycles seem to be about every 2 years. Just note that testing gets a bit unstable right after a release, and switch to stable at that point so the couple months of all the new crap coming from experimental and unstable don't break your system.

Coming from someone who has used it since the late 90s :)
Sounds like a good system if you're still in the reformat-every-year-or-two mindset. That was really an XP era thing that I find pretty annoying these days. I don't like major upgrades, thus the move to a rolling release years ago. Theoretically never have to reinstall? "Sign me up," is what I thought.

Not saying you're doing it wrong, -- it's your system -- just commenting my preference.

The latest Volcanoids update sounds amazing, lets you directly pilot your drillship

This is starting to look cooler than I expected.

Brutal turn-based RPG Stoneshard has a new trailer and release date

Definitely looks and sounds cool. Speaking of sound, that's gotta be some of the same instruments themed in The Witcher 3.

The trick animations look very abrupt, but not all animations. If that doesn't improve, it will definitely feel like a low-budget game. That could turn me off. We'll see. I remembering playing the Tony Hawk games a ton back in the day.
