Solution to gaming on Linux popularity - Get a bunch of popular game streamers to jump onto Linux, praise it, and then we just wait for the torrent, haha.

Quoting: pageroundWitcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY is $10 USD on Steam, GOG, and Humble. Seems lie a good time to pick it up if you have been waiting for a sale.

Funnily enough, that's what I've been considering. I vastly favour buying native Linux titles, but if the game is sufficiently discounted, I'll buy it to play with Proton.

Asking about the Server side of things in this game:

If you launch the game, planning to play in single-player - Is the server hosting the game world part of the single-player process, or do you need to separately set up a server to host the game-world which you then connect to ?

With approx 2000 hours in RUST (when Linux worked) and 2000 hours in 7 Days To Die, it looks like Valheim is going to be just the sort of game I like. Already had it on my wishlist, but now I've got renewed excitement for it. COOL!

Quoting: tuubiI think I'll skip future giveaways on Humble unless they're something on my wishlist. Last time I linked my Steam account, unlinking it required two emails to their support and more than a week (and proof that I own the account) for them to actually get it done. Not worth the hassle, and I don't want to leave the accounts linked.

You could also create a 'spare' Steam account, link that to Humble (and leave it connected), claim the giveaway, and use the Steam key with your official account.

I find Apple is a very greed-oriented, anti-consumer company. All their products are designed to rip off their consumers, and entrap them inside an ecosystem where the consumer needs to keep paying more and more to prolong their admittance.

The sleekness of their products hides many flaws - Missing peripheral ports, non-upgradeable hardware, non-repairable hardware. Bad for the consumer and bad for the environment. Only good for the shareholder.

Installed it, nice little puzzler.

I have such great self-control - Being able to resist buying a bundle - Maybe, it's my self-control, or maybe it's that I already own all of the lowest tier, all of the highest tier, and some of the middle tier. :grin:

Can anyone advise me - If I were to play the Survival Sandbox mode of the game, would it spoil the single player campaign?

The reason I ask is that I'd rather play the campaign once all the Chapters are released. At the same time, I expect that each Chapter is quite distinct and can be played on its own without influencing the later chapters (Is that true?)

I'm interested in a couple of the titles in the new Choice selection, but the rest are not particularly compelling. Still, I don't mind pausing a month and keeping the credit for another time. I've actually paused only 3 times during this year's subscription so far.

One thing vaguely promising to say about the bundle - Although my steam list of shame is over 2000 games, I don't own any titles in it.
