Quoting: EhvisSomehow it sounds like this announcement came late for something that is supposed to happen in 19.10. Could it be that they're just testing the waters?
non LTS releases are for testing and development, so in general 32bit support ends in 2021 and even then 18.04 will still get security updates till 2023. I don`t feel any decision could be too late for Ubuntu non LTS release.
Were almost half way into the 19.10 cycle. I think that is pretty late such a decision. And testing resistance is a good way to find out if it's worth going on with it for another LTS release.

Only did a few bot matches so far, but I've been enjoying it. But the game isn't really helping you with learning about the heroes. To be effective, you need to instantly know about their movement, attack, special attack and general role. For some of it you need to open the encyclopedia, but things like movement don't appear to be documented at all.

Quoting: tuubiAll of the DLC for ATS and ETS2 have Linux support as far as I can tell. I don't remember any delays or omissions at any point. But this one seems to be missing from Humble even though it has been on Steam for months.
There are more missing on Humble. Seems that they're being a bit selective there. Maybe because humble doesn't neatly list the DLC for a game with the actual game.

The perils of crowdfunding for Linux games: Eco edition

Quoting: NanobangIt's not like the risk is hidden ... in a way, it strikes me less as a form of investing than a form of gambling: don't bet what you can't afford to lose. It's why I never gamble.
Exactly. Crowdfunding is a donation towards the developer to show your support. Anything you get from it is a win.

Turn-based survival villager builder 'Seeds of Resilience' released

Does the game have storage buildings these days? When I played it you could only store "outside" and have everything wiped out with a storm. That got tedious really quick.

Quoting: EhvisThe youtube video is black for me. Even though it does show something in the preview. Weird.
Privacy plugins being a nuisance perhaps? Usually the cause of things like that, works fine for me across browsers.
Nope. Doesn't matter whether it's on or off. Tried the other resolutions as well. Always just black. All other youtube videos work. Maybe a failure in the CDN system. Youtube doesn't appear to be a stranger to faults these days.

Quoting: chancho_zombieI wonder how many feral games were released on 2018 first half?
Not that many really. But the lack of announcements is sort of worrying. Maybe the thing that made Paradox decide to stop/pause their investments into Linux games is a symptom of a wider sentiment of publishers. After all, Feral can't do their ports with at least some support from the original devs and publishers. In any case, if there is one good thing that could come out of Stadia, it could be that Feral gets more work. I hope so. It would be a nice reward for their investment in their Vulkan tech.

I'm still on the fence about the whole Klei thing. On the one hand I think it's one of the best developers out there and they never fail to impress. But it's still creating an exclusive and it's still not good for customers. Even though the exclusive period will probably not even cover the entire EA period. In any case it won't matter for Linux users. Oxygen Not Included only got a build later during EA (exactly as they promised) and there is no reason to think this game would be any different.

Kerbal is the cheapest it has ever been. If you're on the fence, now is the time!
