Valve's digital card game Artifact releases this month with same-day Linux support
2 Nov 2018 at 5:40 am UTC

When you guys mentioned multiple lanes, I first thought of Solforge, a card game that I have played quite a few hours and used to really like. The lanes in Artifact look pretty different, which is good for variety's sake.

I will mostly likely buy Artifact on release day. $20 is a good deal even if it turns out to be mediocre.

I wonder what add-ons will be like. Certainly, they aren't going to sell booster packs.

I do not like the wood grain, but I'd still consider getting one someday.

Are those feet or finger screws on the back of the case? Why else would they take a picture of the top of the case? If they are feet, where can you find an angled power cable that's thin enough?

Quoting: GuestWhat the... seriously? Next thing you'll be telling me Blizzard, Ubisoft, ID/Bathesda, etc. will be tooling around with a linux-supported game and/or engine. I don't know. EA, really?

Maybe I should go buy a Lotto ticket for once. This is weird.
Next thing you know, IBM will buy Red Hat. Wait....

Quoting: GuestTo be honest I wonder how the company is still standing with so few titles supporting it. It's no wonder they end up burning great studios, they can't afford to keep them, because they're not making enough money, they blame game devs for not making enough money, when the reality is that EA itself is the reason they're not making enough money, they're getting in their own way.
Hmm, am I missing some news? Where does EA blame their own developers for financial loss?

Quoting: Guest...They started declining so fast in 2008 however that they have not managed to release a single good game since ~2010.
Not a fan of the Battlefield games? I like them.

That trailer music is great. It's like a hyped up Shadowrun sound. It makes the game feel much cooler than the trailer looks when muted.

Quoting: 14Well, since I've been playing Overwatch, I have to change my Wine answer. :)
Well, since I got it as part of the Humble Monthly, I had figured I'd try it, but it doesn't seem to run with Lutris. How did you do?
I used the DXVK version of the Lutris installer. I did not have to do any of the tweaks that Liam did. Make sure you install wine-staging and the Vulkan programs from the Arch section that Lutris links to here [External Link].

I'll take a peek at my Lutris config to find if I changed anything, but I don't think so.

Looks like the racing game 'Gravel' will be getting a Linux version

Since I'm terrible at F1 2017, I wouldn't mind a game that was more at the difficulty level of, say, Forza Motorsport 3.

Play as a huge corporation in the just announced Stellaris: MegaCorp expansion

Quoting: antisolI'd be very interested to hear opinions justifying how Stellaris represents value for money.
You can also search previous Stellaris articles, here at GoL, where this same question always comes up. What I basically said last time is that I've spent probably around $40 on Stellaris + the few DLC's I have and I have 100 hours into the game. That's worth it to me. Am I willing to shell out some more cash to makes things interesting and play another 20 hours or so? Yeah, I am.

You can also just ignore the DLC if its existence offends you. Buy the base game on sale, play it as much as you like, then leave it. You will get plenty of gameplay from vanilla Stellaris.

As far as this full expansion is concerned, I will probably get it! It sounds great to me. I am curious how it lines up with their really big patch they announced not too long ago. That hasn't been released yet, right?
