Humble Choice has Deep Rock Galactic this month

Quoting: TermyBesides that, it really is one of the best MP-Games i've ever played. And the community is pretty reasonable, even playing with random groups is fun most of the time!
I can second that! DRG is in my top 5 according to Steam play time. It is one of my favorite games. I know I can reliably start a public round and I will have randos drop in within minutes and I'll have a full party. And I never have to deal with jerks and griefers.

Can't say I've had crashes. Been playing a long time now. But I can say there is now a hitch a few times per match that scares me and makes me think the game is going to freeze or crash. That just started happening in the past couple weeks.

Team Fortress 2 gets a big update with Valve back in action

I should give it a go since I haven't played Overwatch in a year.

I'm such a sucker for this genre and style even though I don't spend much time with them. It's from all the hours I spent carrying a Gameboy Advance SP in my pocket in high school playing Fire Emblem.

Looks great! I only play that style of game on handhelds and don't have a Steam Deck at this point. Maybe someday.

Kingdoms and Castles has a huge AI Kingdoms update out now

So, now it's been a month, and the update is still not available on GOG for Linux users. I emailed the dev, and he replied to ask if I used the Galaxy client. After explaining that I used Linux and the Linux build was behind despite it being updated on Itch and Steam, he never replied. That was a week or two ago now.

I suggest purchasing this game on Steam or Itch and not GOG! In my case, it looks like I'll have to buy the game a second time if I want further updates. Even though the price is low, it's the principle of the matter, and I'm a little annoyed by it.

When I saw a video of this, I thought I had already played it before, so excellent recreation skill there!

Minecraft - The Wild Update is out now, Java & Bedrock now one purchase

Quoting: KristianSurely Microsoft has the resources to add all of the Java version festures to Bedrock right? So the missing features are hardly a guarantee of them keeping the Java version, right?
It sounds like you're in the habit of fearing things and therefore trying to find something to be cynical of here when there isn't any reason to. No reason to spread that FUD.

It looks cute, but I don't know if it's different enough from Stardew Valley.

Here I am a week later, and the update still has not arrived on GOG! Grr!

I might just give that a try... can you recommend a good guide to doing that with Win 11?

General steps I can remember from memory are:
1. Install Windows first (done)
2. Boot to Linux thumb drive
3. Install Linux and boot loader onto dedicated drive. Do not overwrite your Windows drive or boot loader.
4. Go into your BIOS and tell it to boot to the Linux drive by default
5. Once booted to Linux, tell Grub to scan all your drives for other operating systems so that when your BIOS boots to the Linux boot loader, you can select Windows if you like. You can even have the Linux boot loader boot to Windows by default.

And, of course, the Arch wiki covers this topic in detail. :)
