Pretty cool to see and a happy surprise to see EA do it.

Boneloaf to self-publish Gang Beasts going forwards, updates coming

Is it worth getting if I already have Human Fall Flat?

Lenovo adding Ubuntu & Red Hat on their entire ThinkStation and ThinkPad P lines

I'm pretty happy to see this. More industry support means more pressure for my company to support Linux desktops as well. :)

Linux Mint votes no on Snap packages, APT to block snapd installs

I don't know where I stand on snaps, but I do like that Mint is making another step to make themselves distinct from Ubuntu. I'm not saying I hate Ubuntu either. I just like choice. But I don't like when you have 20 options and each of them are barely different at all.

I don't understand how this game has MP, at least GOG says it does.

Factorio to release early in August to avoid Cyberpunk 2077

Quoting: randylCongrats to Wube. It's a smart decision. Even if everyone isn't playing CP2077, all of the media buzz will be around it. Personally, I think they should have waited until a month after that release when the buzz starts to die down. Like Witcher 3, I think CP2077 has been vastly overhyped and overrated. My guess is that it will be more flash and "edge" than substance (like TW3) and meatier games like Factorio will have a longer stronger appeal. But that's an easy call to make from my office chair. :P
That's got to be a minority opinion there. I rate TW3 as probably the best game made to date on any platform. Saying Factorio is meatier just means the artful side of your brain doesn't like to be entertained that much.
We can agree on one thing, that my opinion about TW series is in the minority.

I see you had to make a personal attack on my ability to appreciate art as a way to undermine my opinion rather than give reasons why you think TW3 is clearly superior above its peers. Does that mean you have nothing of merit to offer the conversation or were maybe just too lazy to write out something thoughtful?

So, why do you consider TW3 "the best game made to date on any platform"? Because that's a strong claim and I think you would be in the minority with that opinion. It's one thing to say TW3 is overrated and another to claim it's the best game ever made on any platform with absolutely no support for that argument.

My artful side does enjoy being entertained, just not by overrated mediocre titles popular with the masses. I'm not a huge fan of Fortnite or Justin Bieber either. Art appreciation is a matter of taste and preference.
No, I did not attack any of your abilities as you say. I pointed out what I observed of your preference.

Writing a convincing argument about TW3 is missing the point. The point was that I suspected your opinion of TW3 to be in the minority and that I disagreed with it. It was not to change your mind.

Huh, I thought this game was claimed to stay in Early Access forever. I must be thinking of a different game...? Anyway, I'm not sure what "released" even means for me in this game if they still have changes planned.

Path of Exile adds a Vulkan Beta, another step closer to Linux support

I'm interested to give it a try but not enough to mess around. I will wait for it to feel smooth out of the box.

Roadwarden, an impressive text-adventure RPG has a new demo

Quoting: catbox_fugue
Quoting: 14This is one of those games that I think is so cool, I will probably buy it for the art factor whether I play it or not. I want to play it, but I know myself. I have lots of games to play.
thats why they have demos, try before you buy
My point was I want to give them a purchase regardless of if I play it or not.
