I must be out of the loop. I'd no idea what a Match-3 game was until this article :-)

I installed pipewire on a whim some time last year and have been very impressed with it. Much easier to configure than PA, especially with those nice GUIs too.

This looks really good and right up my street! Some nicely-drawn artwork, too.

I've played just over 30min of this game and have reached the end of the demo. I imagine there are other options should I choose to replay and visit different locations.

Looks good, and features the kind of word craft that we know and love from the 'Sunless' games. It'll be interesting to experience the full game once it's released and I'm looking forward to it!

If you still don't own Stellaris it's currently free with Amazon Prime Gaming

Quoting: EhvisWhen you click on the games tab, you see a short flash. That is your games library. Click one very quickly and install it.
Thanks. Unfortunately it seems that even using nice and cpulimit, my machine renders too fast and I do not get the flash! I'm currently experimenting with repeatedly launching the Amazon app immediately after it crashes so that I can download the freebies 30sec at a time :-)

Quoting: EhvisTrue. But you can install the Twitch App through Lutris and with some fiddling you can make it show your library instead of pointing you to the Amazon app.
Right, I've installed the Twitch app and my accounts are already linked. Could you please explain how to make the Twitch app show the games? Thanks :-)

This is good news and I have claimed the key! On a related note the Amazon Games Client doesn't seem to work at all for me on Linux at the moment, crashing after about 30 seconds.
