That actually looks fantastic and I can picture myself playing it. Adding to wish list.
Speaking of wishes, I wish I knew how much it was going to cost. If it was $20, I just might buy it on release day!

GOG are giving away Wasteland 2 with Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire
10 Apr 2018 at 5:52 pm UTC

Quoting: g000hI expect that a large number of people who would be interested in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire already own Wasteland 2, i.e. It isn't really a great incentive. Noting that Wasteland 2 has been in numerous bundles and sales over the past 2+ years.
Well, I'm part of the small number of people then. I do not own Wasteland 2 and I probably want Pillars of Eternity II. The catch is I haven't started the first Pillars of Eternity and I'm only mildly interested in getting Wasteland 2. So, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, it's not worth my $50 to pre-order a game when I haven't started the predecessor. :(

Farm Together, the cute farming sim from Milkstone Studios has expanded a lot

I'm looking forward to trying this one once my kids get a little bit older. :) It's on my wish list. I will probably wait until it's out of EA.

Feral Interactive have released an open source tool that’ll help get the most performance out of Linux games

I really like this information. I will certainly try toggling the CPU power modes. I recently got a new GPU and all my games look so much better and my average FPS is decent, but they could be smoother. Hopefully this helps a little bit (not expecting a silver bullet of course).

DXVK, the Vulkan compatibility layer for Direct3D 11 and Wine has a fresh release reducing CPU overhead

Quoting: Avehicle7887DXVK sooner or later will make me break my Linux-Only games rule. I gave Witcher 3 a test today using Wine 3.5 (non staging) + dxvk 0.41, it was pleasing to see almost 60fps on high settings.
Yeah, I actually bought KOTOR the other week from GOG so I could play it on WINE. Until GOG gets a client for managing their games (I know there's Lutris), I'm probably going to stick with Steam. However, for the very few games I want to use in WINE (I think two so far), I'd rather have the GOG version.

Crusader Kings II is free to keep if you grab in the next two days

Ah, cool. I've looked at this one before a little but decided against it. I guess I didn't look into it that well. You saying that there's some role-playing and conquering lands isn't always where you get your kicks makes it sound unique enough to grab. Thanks for the blurb! Glad I could get this one for free. It's a good move by Paradox because, yes, I will buy some DLC if I end up liking this game a lot. I rarely buy DLC for games but I liked Stellaris so much (90+ hours in four weeks, anyone?) that I gave in with delight.

I can't make this one, but I look forward to beating all of you that can't win.

Civilization VI: Rise and Fall is a solid and focused expansion

I plan on reading your review since you do such a good job... later, though. :)
