Maybe it's me, but the HB page shows which systems the games run on. I don't think I've seen it before.

inXile confirm the Linux version of The Bard's Tale IV is being worked on

This may be a way for inXile to get back in my good graces, after they blew more than $4M and 4 years on Torment:Tides of Numenera, which had a damn novel of text, which was well-written, but has itself gotten a lot of criticism, and about 50% of a full game. They didn't even build an engine, but used PoE's very good engine.

And still they put out a CRPG with ~50 hours of play time.:><:

Today, Linux game porter Ethan Lee begins officially working on Steam Play's Proton

I have been able to get a few of the Windows games I had bought back in my dual-booting days, and am able to run BioShock:woot: (the original), Oblivion:wub:, Banished (no sound), Bejewled, and one or two others. It's been a crapshoot; some games run perfectly, some won't run at all, and some just are silent.

And it will only improve.

I was pretty happy with having supported PA on Kickstarter in '13 (seems so long ago), and it was delivered about, iirc, about 15 months later, and the next year, I got PA:TITANS for free. Those devs:wub: definitely are still taking care of their customers.

According to Kotaku, Microsoft is close to buying Obsidian

Why couldn't it have been InXile?:><:

What are you playing this weekend?

Some thoughts on Valve’s new Steam Play feature and what it means for Linux gaming

I bought Bejeweled 2 Deluxe, a Windows game for $5, and it runs like a champ. Nice to be able to play the original match-3 game. Doki Doki Literature club, also.

Yes, DOOM is available. With my total suckage with FPS games, that's one I'll pass:dizzy:.

On the other hand, I would immediately purchase The Witcher 3, if it gets on the Proton list:O.

The open source project 'xoreos' released version 0.0.5 'Dawn Star'

I already have BG1, BG2, IWD. and Neverwinter Nights, all from Beamdog. This, I'm afraid, is a solution without a problem.

The competitive RTS 'Coregrounds' that mixes on Tower Defense and MOBA elements is out in Early Access
6 Jul 2018 at 12:25 am UTC

I've been computerless for the last month or so. I'm using a smartphone now, until my Acer N15 arrives tomorrow. It has a 7th generation i3 with a nVidia graphics chip, 4 GB RAM, a slot for an SSD and a 1TB hard drive. The SSD will be /, and the hard drive will be /home.

For $400 on Amazon. It's getting a lot of reviews calling it the most bang for the buck in under $400 laptops.

If you're interested...

I, of course, love tower defense games.

A 5-part TUTORIAL??? It's downloading as I'm typing this, and it is nice for Paradox to show me how to play their %$^$$%$* game...

Later: Yes, it really does tell you how to play the game, with instructions, tooltips, and a voice.

I'm finally glad I sprung for SM. I'm afraid I just couldn't figure it out the way I bought it.

Thanx Paradox!
