"I love DRM free games!" And you know, I really do. Good move!

Is the game UI and components as small as in the video on Steam? I got Rise to Ruins some time ago, but could never play it since I have bad eyesight, everything is quite small, and so I could never really follow what was actually happening.

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition is now officially out with day-1 Linux support

For those that don't know, the original Neverwinter Nights actually did have a Linux version, although it wasn't officially supported and needed some manual tinkering to get working properly,
Well, it was official enough to have the Tux logo on the game box. They did officially support it; the main limitation was that the editor was never made available.

ps. The two "Penultima" campaigns by Stefan Gagne is still the single best thing I played on Neverwinter Nights, and one of the best computer RPGs I've played, period. No idea if you can still find and download them, or if they work on this new release though.

This is one of my favourite games. I've had it for years and years, and I _still_ play it now and again. And yes, I've beaten it on the normal difficulty and the standard ship. I've unlocked most of the others, but I've yet to beat the game with any of them.

I've had To The Moon in my library for a good long while already. Perhaps it's time I played it.

Grass Cutter, a super cheap and silly casual game about cutting grass that's actually not bad

Reminds me of Jeff Minters "Hover bovver" if anyone else's old enough to remember that one.

Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition is coming from Beamdog, Linux support confirmed

Penultima by Stefan Gagne was by far the best campaign; better than any of the official campaigns in the series. I'd consider getting NWN again just to play that one again.

Got Rise to Ruins. Even though I've only just started playing Stardew Valley - and I'm still trying to get anywhere with the excellent Tooth and Tail, and still somewhere midway through Planescape: Torment... You are a bad influence :)

What have you been playing and what do you think?

Tooth and tail. Fun, but I'm absolutely stuck on one scenario and unable to progress further. I suspect RTS games just aren't for me :(

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

Ninja Pizza Girl runner/platformer with cheesy (sic) story and simple graphics. Really well executed though; it's been my go-to game the past few months when I just want a quick gaming fix.

Battleblock Theater Classical platformer that plays very well and has kept my interest so far at least.
