Quoting: Linux_RocksThe Intel Atom minimum requirements reminded me about how I miss netbooks. My old ASUS netbook was a great Linux machine.
So true, I miss netbooks too! They were replaced by tablets, but these are not the same devices and I'm not comfortable with touch screens...
I still have two oldies that run Linux since I was at University many years ago, an Acer AOD255 (my first computer bought new) and MSI I don't even remember the model. Nowadays they sit on a shelf but they are still operational in last resort.

One of my favorite IPs that saddly you can't find legally anywhere these days. I still own a copy of Future Perfect on the Original XBOX.
So many hours spent in split screen with friends and family!
If this ever releases on Steam, I'll get it for sure.

Valve reveal the new Steam Frame, Steam Controller and Steam Machine with SteamOS

This honestly couldn't come at a better time. I have an ageing middle range gaming computer and I was more and more leaning towards HTPCs for its replacement as I don't have a lot of time to play anymore and a mid-tower PC takes a lot of space.
I have yet to buy a Steam Deck, and Valve announces this?

Steam Controller will be a day one purchase, and I'll certainly replace my tower PC with a Steam Machine. It might not be the most powerful thing on the market, but neither is the Steam Deck, and yet this is the one that's getting all the attention, despite not being sold anywhere but on Steam digital store! And as my PC is old, it will still be better (especially CPU wise, which is what matters the most in the end for longevity). I have 1080p monitors so GPU will be largely enough. Depending on the price, this Steam Machine could end up being an absolute banger, just like the Steam Deck is! I suspect they will use the same market penetration technique. Sure, the Steam Deck is not the most powerful handheld, but it's also half the price of others...

Talking point - what have you been playing lately?

Mostly No Man's Sky. I also just relaunched Skyrim. There are so, SO many games I want to try, but I have very limited time to play these days, with work and very young kids.

Mass Effect's SSV Normandy SR1 Returns to No Man's Sky with a re-run of previous expeditions

Question: I already did a redux version of the Beachhead expedition. Should I do it again, would I get a second Normandy?

Wait, is The Crew Motorfest playable on Linux now? I thought it would get you banned...

The Thing: Remastered and Killing Time: Resurrected coming from Nightdive Studios

Actually incredible! Killing Floor was one of the first games I played as a child and I had The Thing on the PS2 when it released. I do own Killing Floor on GOG for nostalgia reasons and would love to replay The Thing too :)

Feral Interactive have released a new teaser for a Linux & Mac port to come

I tend to think this is Shogun 2 : Total War too as we've seen hints that it might be ported and Feral are behind a lot of the Total War ports for Linux.

Edit: Plus this is my favorite Total War title!

Love this game! And it actually runs better on Linux than on Windows for me.
