Rogue-lite dungeon crawler Tallowmere 2 is over the top and ridiculously fun

This is a great dungeon slasher, with kitties! I'm rubbish at staying alive but it's great fun when you fill the room with bombs and watch the mental explosions :-)

Looking forward to this and glad to hear Linux is once again supported. Sunless Seas and Sunless Skies are two of my favourite games :-)

Thanks, I almost had beer all over my monitor then :-)

Check out Sonic 3 A.I.R., a fan-made remaster now available on Linux

Realising that I have a copy of Sonic 3 on Steam, I've just downloaded and installed A.I.R., though yet to have a proper playthrough. Looks good, though!

It's hard to believe but Counter-Strike has turned 20 and it's still going strong

What got me hooked on playing online was Quake and Quakeworld back in the mid-to-late 1990s. I must say that CS never quite engaged me, though I appreciate its popularity.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I was part of Team Yellow on CIX back in the day, and played against the likes of Coerj. What ever happened to him..?

What have you been gaming on Linux recently? Come have a chat

I've just finished the excellent Sense - 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story, though apparently there is an NG+ and NG++. Probably leave that for a while, though :-) I also finished Synergia which is a very thoughtful visual novel.

Ziggurat 2 and Crystal Caves HD are one ones getting my attention at the moment, though :-)

Just downloaded and installed the game and it launched on my system with no issue. Only completed one level so far but it's great fun :-)

A fresh NVIDIA Vulkan Beta Driver 455.34.01 is out with GeForce RTX 3070 support

Thanks for the tip. I've installed this driver on my OpenSuSE Tumbleweed system this afternoon, which uses a 5.9 kernel. So far I haven't noticed any issues, but then I don't use CUDA!

Atari VCS seeing supply shortages, not expecting full production until early 2021

11/5/2020? They're late then ;-)

More seriously, who is actually going to buy this? It's been so late that I would imagine backers or interested parties would simply be looking elsewhere for their nostalgia fix. The demo was back in February and we haven't seen much since.

Fun racing game with surprisingly-responsive controls and good music.

Had some issues with the controller configuration but found that binding the keyboard controls to my Steam Controller worked. Could not get my Logitech F710 to be recognised in-game though.
