Quoting: lodDoes Battleeye work now?
This is what I'm looking for!

Parsec is another game streaming service, now with Linux support and it's blown me away
29 May 2017 at 5:07 pm UTC

This idea is extremely interesting. The dilemma for me is I have a Windows 7 license, not a Windows 10 license (by choice), so I only have a couple more years of supported use. Is it worth dismantling my dual boot setup? Should I install a Windows VM on one of the desktops or a server in the house? That's not really an advantage. I still have to manage the OS if it's in my home no matter whether it's on my own tower or in a VM. Keeping the Windows VM on a rented server is ideal so I don't have to deal with Windows maintenance and security anymore. But now I can't avoid the monthly cost. I have friends that would possibly let me run a VM on their hardware, but with a gaming GPU? Probably not. And I'd still have to maintain the Windows VM myself.

So yeah, it's pretty neat, but I guess I'd rather have a PS4 to play the titles that don't make it to Linux. If you divide $300 / 12, that's about $25/mo for one year and you don't have to worry about play time racking up.

Albion Online to get another big update before launch named 'Hector'
29 May 2017 at 4:42 pm UTC

I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, mainly because I want a go-to Linux MMORPG. But I am mainly a PvE player with friends and only dabble in PvP here and there. If PvE stinks, then I will sadly skip AO.

Some thoughts on 'World to the West', the standalone followup to Teslagrad

That looks pretty cool. It made me think of Zelda as well. I might have to get it.

Linux gamers on Arch may want to hold off on updating due to openssl breaking some games (updated)
21 May 2017 at 4:59 am UTC

The issue is closed now, but I am confused whether I need to run this patch or wait for an openssl update to come down the pipe.

Ballistic Overkill to get Vulkan support tomorrow and lots more

Quoting: psycho_driverHad absolutely zero interest in this game but I'll buy it when the vulkan renderer is working correctly.
Just because you want to experience a driver API?

BATTLETECH, the turn-based mech battler from Harebrained Schemes has a new trailer

This game looks really cool and I'd most likely get it for Linux. I definitely would not get it for Windows.

Total War: SHOGUN 2 and Fall of the Samurai are heading to Linux from Feral Interactive

I always love when a Windows-only game I already own (got it for free with a video card years ago) starts working on Linux. w00t!

NVIDIA 381.22 driver released with lots of bug fixes and newer Vulkan support
10 May 2017 at 3:47 am UTC

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoYes. In Windows, the Nvidia driver has a huge list of games and You can configure the driver settings for each individual games...
In Linux, to configure the driver settings for each game is not that easy.
It's not? Maybe not quite as easy, but there are Application Profiles in the NVIDIA X Server Settings that you can set up based on multiple triggers, process name being one of them.

Stellaris is the new early unlock for the Humble Monthly bundle

Quoting: constSorry for not beeing clear. I meant that Inside may come to linux at some point. AFAIK it currently isn't.
And I pretty much do the same with the non-linux titles.
That makes sense. I held onto Inside since Limbo made it to Linux.
