This is one of those games where the delay may have been a positive one. Now they've had some time to work on the game and polish it so we get to have a better experience from the start. Count me in.

I've been looking forward to this one ever since the kickstarter. I hope the writing is good, then it'll be a must have for me.

Japan is not doing particularly well either. "Other" is doing quite nicely though.

The Talos Principle has a new beta with an upgraded Serious Engine, removes OpenGL in favour of Vulkan

Quoting: GuestHm, without Vulkan it's not possible to play it any longer on Optimus Hardware, as far as I know Bumblebee dose not support Vulkan.
There is still a 32 bit version in the beta branch. Might be worth checking if this is an older build which still has OpenGL.

Otherwise it's been running very well. The occasional graphical glitches that I saw when I last ran the Vulkan build are gone and everything looks as it should. Can't really comment on the performance since I switched GPUs since then.

Installing this one. I still have a few stars to collect and a few extra DLC puzzles to solve.

A reminder about Steam's platform-specific wishlist feature you should be using

I obviously had this set already since I quite like having of the Steam lists filtered for Linux games only. Mostly, win games still appear in "Special offers" and the endless recommendation list at the bottom of the front page. But tagging Windows games on my wishlist just because I might want to see them on Linux is too much of an intrusion on its primary function.

If there was a special list/tag that would not pollute the wishlist when you only wish for the platform, I'd be all over it.

Monstrous programming puzzle game 'Monster Logic' is coming to Linux this year

Quoting: CvxFousMy main inspiration has been Zachtronics works (who I contacted for server for histograms, while I ended up only using Steam Leaderboard for now), whose simple but complicated programming game has always been some of my favorite games.
What better place to find inspiration than right from the master. If this is anything close, it'll be a hell yeah for me.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

Mostly Subnautica and Slime Ranchers lately.

Apparently Valve are working with Easy Anti-Cheat to get support in Steam Play (updated: yup)

Quoting: TermyI'm kind of baffled that Epic is allowing collaboration with Valve ^^
Glad to hear this though :D
They're not collaborating yet. Right now they're only doing preparations for talking. Best not get ahead of ourselves.

Valve/EAC, if you're reading this, don't be afraid to reach out, I don't bite.
The same cannot be said for his rabbit though. :D
