Cool. I'll have to jump into the game again soon.

This is one of the games that doesn't get on my wish list because I have too many games. I bought Civ V earlier this year I think and have yet to play it. :( If Civ VI had cross-platform MP on launch day, I might have bought & played it for hype reasons. Hype is like a prioritization sledgehammer.

Instead, my friends and I clocked 100 hours of Stellaris.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroDon't get the obsession with adding multiplayer to absolutely everything nowadays *grumble grumble* but the new additions should be a good excuse to revisit the game.

You know, I wasn't sure how much multiplayer would really add to this game either, despite being a mostly-co-op guy. But I do like it. I think I like playing with one other person best. Playing with two others is OK; three others creates a game pace that I don't like in this game so much.

Quoting: CriticalGamesAUHi everyone, developer of 8-Bit Adventures 2 here - thanks for the comments! =D

Quoting: 14Would be great for anyone who picked up one of those pocket Linux computers.

I don't know much about those sorry (devices like the Gemini, right?), but so long as the specs are up to par, then I think that sounds like a great idea!

Thanks for chiming in!

This is the one I was picturing:
Pyra
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/the-handheld-linux-computer-pyra-is-available-for-pre-order.7285

Since then, there have been a couple others mentioned:
GPD Win 2
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/the-gpd-win-2-could-be-an-interesting-device-for-linux-gaming-on-the-go.11048
SMACH Z
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/you-can-now-pre-order-the-smach-z-gaming-handheld.11670

I'd definitely play pixel games if I got a handheld device with built in controller buttons that ran on Linux. There would be more low-resources games on Linux that would interest me than what's available on my 3DS.

Quoting: mylkaim hoping for more sega linux games this year. shenmue und yakuza would be awesome

Quoting: 14I'm not very much into sim games. I only need to play one every couple of years to satisfy my itch, even though I really liked Theme Hospital and Sim City 2000 when I was a kid. This Two Point Hospital trailer is pretty convincing that the itch is back. :)

how about sim tower?

Quoting: buenaventura

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: buenaventuraIs this free or what? I never figured that out. My kids undoubtedly will be happy about this.

No it's not free.

OK, but there is one version that is? When I installed ArchLabs, it offered to install minecraft for me, I didnt say yes, but I got to thinking... Is there a free version or what?

You have to log in with a Minecraft account to play.

No it's not free.

I'd assume that the update is free, but the game itself is not free.

And yeah, my kids will be really excited when I tell them about this... and it'll be a little bit of work for me to update my server and their clients & mods.

Thanks. I will give Dwarf Fortress a try sometime. I've had it installed for several weeks now but have been gun shy.

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: 14It just seems like Rust to me. Why would I get it?

Rust is a multiplayer survival game with focus on PvP. Stranded Deep is a single player and very much a solitary experience.

Not for long.

Quoting: liamdaweWhile it is a single-player game, they are planning to add in co-op support which could be quite fun as well.

Anyway, I don't see this game experience as unique. I could run a Rust server by myself or restricted to friends and it seems to me like it would be a pretty samey experience.
