You can now get access to the excellent Faeria for a lot cheaper, without booster packs

Hmmm...the Steam store page only lists Windows and Mac...I have a newish Windows laptop now upon which I cannot install Linux. Yet. It looks great, but I won't buy it for Windows if I can buy it for Linux.

GOL Podcast S01E01: Linux as a Gaming Platform

The many different *nix distros can be a barrier to developers as far as official support .

This is unfortunately true; Armello and a few others would not run for me when I tried Manjaro :( . I went back to Ubuntu MATE (running 16.04 beta, and it's stable as hell).

As a Dominions 4 :woot: player, I can live with rudimentary graphics :whistle: . When it goes on sale, I'll pick it up.

I've never had an Intel CPU in all my years of post-Amiga computing; I currently have an 8320E which seems to fill my needs pretty well.

Hearts of Iron 4 to be released on D-Day

HOI is an amazing...simulation, I guess. It's just as great as CK2 and EU IV.

It finishes the grand strategy trilogy, too.

StarDrive 2, the pretty good 4X strategy game to get a big expansion
11 Mar 2016 at 2:28 pm UTC

The game ran well until I bought the DLC. Now the dreaded loading hang has appeared, freezing at 3%. Deleting folders simply keeps the game from running at all. I notice that ~/.config/unity3d/Zero Sum Games/StarDrive2 has several of the same folders and contents as Steam/Steamapps/common/StarDrive2/SD2_Data. Is there any way to fix this problem, Liam?

EDIT: The same day, after a patch, the game runs beautifully.

I played American Truck Simulator on Linux, don't ever let me drive a real truck

I already learned from Euro TS that I should never drive a truck :whistle: ...I don't need to buy American TS to find that out.
