The Feral Store also has Alien Isolation for 50%, why not buy that special someone the gift of horror?
I think Sin is still pissed for the "gift" of horror she received. :D

Parsec is another game streaming service, now with Linux support and it's blown me away

Quoting: liamdaweThe way I worked it out, with my average game time over say 30 hours a month. A cloud provider would cost around $17 a month for one that handles the games properly. It's not massive, but you get stung if you forget to turn your cloud server off.
And there lies the issue.
For normal gaming you could pull this off.
Forget , and it's like forgetting to switch your phone to wi-fi when you watch HD videos all night.

Ballistic Overkill updated, still has issues, but it's getting better again

Total War: Shogun 2 & Fall of the Samurai released for Linux, port review and thoughts

Quoting: ArehandoroI have a few questions:

Aside of Rise of the Samurai and Fall of the Samurai, are all the other DLCs only intended for multiplayer? Is there a way to get only the DLCs from Feral's store if I own the game already?

Also, being absolutely crap at strategy games -Never passed the tutorial in Shogun 2- what advice could you give me to get cracking this time? xD
Go with Youtube vids.
A lot of these grand strategy games , especially Paradox ones , have piss poor tutorials.
I get bored of reading quick so I prefer a video tutorial.
I think watching someone play and explain as they play helps out a lot.
Then start playing and understand you will lose quite a bit in the beginning. :)

Quoting: ColomboI like talking to people (in games)
lol
Only to NPC.
ofc
Yeah, none of us like talking to people (in reality). We're Linux users and Gamers. That's like a double whammy as far as socializing with our fellow Earthlings.

I still maintain that the Ultimas (specifically 4 and 5) had the best NPC system. You didn't have any hints on what to say to people and had to actually talk/type to the NPCs. 6 was similar, but they had highlighted words suggested to say to people during conversations, then 7+ just had selection menus...

I can't think of any other games since those had any real interaction with NPCs.
I actually played an adventure game a while back called A Second Face (Win only i think) which had a similar system.
You could interact with the mouse but when talking you had to type out words and pay attention to what answers they were giving.

Geneshift, the brutal top-down shooter with vehicles has released into Early Access

I remember this one when you first covered it.
Brought back memories of GTA2 , I recall the dev even posted on the article and confirmed it was an inspiration.

Sad the full product is broken - but hey Early Access ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's the billion dollar idea :D

Albion Online to get another big update before launch named 'Hector'
23 May 2017 at 8:01 pm UTC

Overall it's a pretty huge update, but I still think they really need some more PvE content, it's just not enough and what will be there for PvE still doesn't sound all that entertaining to do. I think they need a bigger variety in the types of mobs you can find, better loot and just more to do that isn't PvP.
^^^^^^
This

Fully agree.
Have not tried it but I definitely want a game to have good PvE before I step in.
Wonder what the retail price will be upon release.
