Quoting: SpykerI'm curious to see if a significant amount of players leave Steam this month in order to play some Epic's exclusives... What will be the effect on the Steam Linux share ?
Leave Steam. Ha. That's not how this works. Your game library is in Steam. You can't leave it unless you want to leave your pile of games. All that the Epic store is going to do is add.

Oh, but maybe you're talking about the simultaneous players statistic. I suppose that could have some sort of small effect to the Linux stat.

Quoting: ShmerlPeople don't use something because of exclusives, but because the platform offers something useful to them.
Call me shallow, but I have purchased the original Xbox (Halo), the GBA (Fire Emblem), my 3DS (Fire Emblem), and my PS4 (Bloodborne) primarily for one game each time. I haven't purchased a Wii U or a Switch yet, but I hear of a Fire Emblem releasing for Switch next year. Yes, I will probably be a sucker then. On the bright side, it's still possible to sell physical media games after you don't play them anymore. (I'm not a collector!)

I'll try it out again if GoL makes a server. I didn't like it when I played it for a few hours about a year ago.

Spaceship colony sim Space Haven looks awesome, will support Linux

Hmm... I don't know which looks cooler, but I'm leaning toward Starmancer. But really, they both look quite similar.

Without knowing your hardware it's hard to say.

I'm eager to see the performance uplift on Mesa, I'll report back tonight.
this is specs


It should run okay the game cuz i played it on windows 10 before.
Hmm, is that background from cgwallpapers.com? :)

I can confirm that my game crashes went away after setting my shader quality to Medium. The game does NOT look new, which stinks.

Hopefully the timings for the US are correct, time-zones are hard when RL only lets me pick in my local zone.

Exactly what I used :)

Edit: Seems I might have had the timezone wrong somehow, so I will likely need to re-do the US events. Don't worry though, it will all be correct before they start. Or not, double checking I think the US PST times are actually correct. I'm sure someone will till me if it's not.
Could you just post the US tournaments according to their UTC time? North America is generally UTC -8 to -5 going West to East.

How does this game relate or compare to Gladius?

Nice way for them to communicate the change of support. Download link still exists but doesn't work...? Answer is that's intended? Garbage.

The Forgotten Sanctum, the final DLC for Pillars of Eternity II is out along with a patch

I'd pick it up but I don't get through single-player games very quickly, thus I haven't even started the first PoE. :( I do own that one, though.
