But there are so many monotheistic religions which obviously worship different gods, one would think it has to be kinda crowded up there. ;-)

Another Surviving Mars patch is out, fixing loading saves on Linux and more

Well, either I'm blind, or there are no patches yet on GoG. Neither this, nor the one from last weekend...

Looking for ways to spice up your gaming? Here’s a few games with awesome mods

I'd also list Kerbal Space Program, as it's a quite good example for an extraordinary modding scene.
Not only are there alternate solar systems to explore, hundreds of new rocket parts, and graphical additions, there are also physics mods that turn the rather casual KSP into a semi-realistic spaceflight simulator.

Dominions 5 - Warriors of the Faith, the latest deep 4x turn based strategy game is now out

Quoting: razing32Dominions 4 always got stuck for me when the AI did its turn.
I poke a bit at Dominions 3 since it works and seems to have more nations to play.
That's likely a deadlock in the multithreaded AI. One can disable that feature with a command lime switch.
Would one care to share said command ? :)
Sorry for no reply. I posted yesterday from my alarm clock (aka: smartphone) when going to bed (that's also my excuse for running commands on a lime...). As Colombo already wrote, the command line switch is "--multiai 0". Took me a while to figure that one out.

Battle Chef Brigade combines combo-based hunting and puzzle-based cooking & it's on Linux

Well, I'm seeing the issue that it sometimes takes multiple attempts to start the game. No big thing, but slightly annoying. I've got no idea yet, what could be the reason.

What are you playing this weekend?

I'll play the game called "installing Unreal Engine on Gentoo Linux and get it to work properly". Let's see if I manage. ;-)

Intel announce a new CPU with AMD graphics and HBM2 memory
6 Nov 2017 at 5:59 pm UTC

Quoting: STiATA dream comes true. I hate that all laptops with decent graphics capabilities came with nvidia. I was looking for a model with intel + amd or amd + amd for quite some time, but nothing suited me.

If they make this true, I'll have to get myself a new laptop. Finally.
Not that Raven Ridge APUs wouldn't have been a viable alternative as well.

Linux marketshare on Steam dropped again in October, as China takes a massive chunk of the market

Quoting: MalLet's hope somebody makes a spyware linux distribution so that the chinese can use it for gaming whilst the government safely spies on them.
Ubuntu Kylin?
Red Star OS?

Quoting: GuestAlso my first "Visual Novel" - I doubt any others could compare. Maybe I am wrong. If anyone else is reading this who finished the game, are there any others?
While I haven't yet played this game yet, there are some other pretty well made visual novels. Have a look at Pyre [External Link] (it's marketed as an RPG, but it's pretty much a visual novel with RPG and action elements), or at Loren, the Amazon Princess [External Link] (again a visual novel with RPG elements marketed as an RPG - beware, this has lots of fan-service, especially if you enable the "suggestive content" option, and also the story is rather bad at the beginning, but quickly gets better once the "just throw dozens of new characters at the player" phase is over).
