Counter-Strike: Global Offensive introduces a Battle Royale mode, goes free to play

Played 4 games. Topped out at 3rd place. Not too shabby for someone who has never played CS:GO before. I really enjoyed it. Honestly Fortnite has never looked good to me because I like my shooters stealthy and methodical, like Hitman, instead of arcadey. This felt exactly like what I want out of a Battle Royale: Brutal but approachable, and with no crafting.

If anything is going to make me break down and invest in VR, it's going to be something very similar to this.

Gotta be honest, as long as I can play the game on my system without having to worry about a Windows partition or mucking about with Wine, I am happy.

The Steam Hardware Survey for October 2018 shows a small drop for Linux, a look at daily and monthly active users

Quoting: JarnoThat survey thing is weird, shouldn't it notice if hardware changes?
Yesterday I got new PC and I did just put my old hard drives in it, fixed bootmanager, started using it and steam didn't pop up that survey.
I'm not sure what triggers it. I had a survey pop up a few weeks ago and hadn't change a darn thing.

Well, there's one game to take off my wishlist. It was getting too long anyway.

Enjoying the game very much but the tutorial did not prepare me at all! Lol

My first game I got possessed on the first night and never did quite figure out what was happening for the rest of the game.

I cheated and had my 5 year old draw it for me.

Been playing Hard West this week. Love it. The combat is challenging, the infiltration mode is great, and the storylines are top notch. It does tend to crash when finishing missions for the first time which is frustrating unless you remember to quicksave before completing the last objective.

Roguelike RPG 'Depth of Extinction' is now out with full Linux support

Quoting: JuliusEasier/cheaper/more realistic to make a game look "good" with these aesthetics to a niche of players than trying to make it full 3D and having it end up looking "bad" to everyone. Game Developer 101.
And I get that, but even back in the SNES days I would have thought this game looked "not good." I am just not a fan of this aesthetic.
