28 Feb 2017 at 4:07 am UTC

Call me picky, but I wouldn't want to play it just by looking at the first screenshot.

Thanks for the review.

The Wild Eight is another game funded by Kickstarter that decided to delay the promised Linux version
17 Feb 2017 at 2:42 pm UTC

Quoting: Mountain ManIt's about time for Linux gamers to boycott Kickstarter. With over 3000 Linux games currently on Steam, and more being released every day, we can afford to be choosy.

I think you're right.

Well, at least now I don't have to feel bad for removing them from my Steam Activity Feed. They were less spammy than others, but it was getting a little crowded. I like my feed to mostly have friend info with a scattering of updates from games I follow.

Valve set to replace Greenlight with Steam Direct
12 Feb 2017 at 5:29 pm UTC

The debate is very similar if not identical to Apple's vs Google's vetting methods into their mobile stores. IMO, you can't say one is better than the other overall. I appreciate that it's a lot harder to get into the Apple Store because I can then be more confident in the quality and safety of apps. On the other hand, the extra freedom in the Play Store (and developer access to Android hardware controls) provides me with apps that simply don't exist in the Apple Store or have fewer features.

I'm leaning toward Steam Direct having an entry fee. I don't think it should be free at all. But I think a low fee should be tried first, like $50.

First thing I checked: Does it have co-op? Yes. I'm following this one!

Day of Infamy, the WWII FPS has a big polishing update, take a look at my video
12 Feb 2017 at 5:12 pm UTC

Thanks for the nice video. I'm an Insurgency fan and the gameplay you posted looks pretty good. The graphics are lame and WWII is such an old gaming theme, but it does look fun. I may pick it up when it's out of Early Access and has a Linux badge.

A look at Tinertia, a twin-stick rocket-jumping shooter for Linux
12 Feb 2017 at 4:56 pm UTC

I am not very attracted to platformers, but this one might have to be an exception. It looks like it could be fun and challenging.

I don't understand why it still says Early Access in Steam.

The Linux port of Banished is still alive, the developer plans their next game to launch cross-platform on day-1
12 Feb 2017 at 4:16 pm UTC

Quite commendable. Banished always sounded cool.

Not that it's fun to dual boot, but he could put Linux on the MacBook without having to switch to something less sleek. I have Mint and OS X on an old (2007), unused MacBook right now.
