TINY METAL, a "spiritual successor" to Advance Wars has plans for a Linux version
3 Sep 2017 at 12:34 pm UTC

Quoting: NanobangWhen Advanced Wars was a thing, I was off planet, away on a secret mission about which I can say no more because, well, it was a secret mission.

The upshot is that I know absolutely nothing about Advanced Wars and only what I can surmise from the video about Tiny Metal. I'm guessing it's an RTS of some sort?
The original Advance wars was turn based. Kinda hope this one is too.

Sunless Skies has released with day-1 Linux support, quick thoughts on this unfinished title

Quoting: shelloflightI'm hoping this ends up being a refined, less grindy Sunless Sea. I'm planning to dive in as soon as it leaves early access. Can't wait!
There was nothing grindy about Sunless Sea, was there? Sure, it took forever before you could afford to buy a new boat, but the game was more about the stories than levelling and fighting, so it didn't feel like it mattered. Maybe there were more of that further on in the game than I got though, there were a lot of monsters and other weirdness that I just avoided because they would have kicked my ass. Point is, it never felt grindy to me. I felt it had a relaxing pace, although the terror mechanic and stories did keep me just a bit tense anyway.

Quoting: razing32Is the perma death still in place ?
Do they offer the option to disable it as they did in Sunless sea ?
It's to early to tell. There is no save option yet, but there is nothing saying it won't be added as the game is a while away from being feature complete.

Maybe the answer can be found on their steam forums, or their own forums at failbetter games.

Dying Light's free 'Content Drop #0' is now out, Techland now have their own store

The most fun thing about Dying Light were the side quests. If they were to make a 20 or 40 more voice acted side quests in Old town and Slums DLC I would pay a lot more than I usually would for DLC for it.

Quoting: fabertaweAs for the update itself... the infected seem faster and more agile and tougher than the "Slums" but I hadn't played the "Old Town" before yesterday so I'm not sure if that's anything to do with the update or not.
Nah, the Old town Zombies has always been a bit tougher.

If you are considering getting Total War WH, should you start with the first one or is it better just going on the second one?
