Good to see the name Croteam associated with Linux again, even if it is working with another developer.

Point and click adventure Pants Quest gets a Linux release

Looks quite amusing, akin to some of the early 90s Sierra adventures. I might pick it up when I'm allowed some pocket money.

Now I'm waiting for the obligatory "I'll only buy it on GOG" comments... ;-)

Sci-fi fantasy arena-styled FPS Viscerafest sees Chapter 2 released
24 Mar 2022 at 10:55 pm UTC

This is on my 'guilty' list as I really should have played it by now but it simply sits in my Steam library, unplayed! I will give it a go over the weekend, hopefully...

OBS Studio arrives on Steam but no Linux build for now so stick to Flatpak
22 Mar 2022 at 7:55 pm UTC

OpenSUSE also has OBS Studio in its community repos, so from my point of view it's not a major issue that there isn't a native Linux binary on Steam.

Crown of Pain could turn into the next great match-3 RPG

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

PipeWire is the future for Linux audio and I am sold on it
5 Mar 2022 at 9:32 pm UTC

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.

Quoting: LanzWhat engine is this built on?

Mask of the Rose from Failbetter Games has a demo up now
14 Feb 2022 at 10:23 am UTC Likes: 1

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 :-)
