Saw a Let's play of it.
Not my thing , but glad we have it :)

As Liam said in his Arma Cold War article , we need older titles to enrich the catalogue on our platform.
These games are not my cup of tea but I am glad we got them.

I'll probably buy it. But I'll probably suck at it like a vacuum cleaner.

Looks nice. Seen a lot of real time action mech combat. Never seen a TBS in my youth.
Weeeeellll....not completely true. There was this compilation CD and a game called Power Dolls. I was too embarrassed to play it as a kid due to its title.

NVIDIA 381.22 driver released with lots of bug fixes and newer Vulkan support
12 May 2017 at 3:39 pm UTC

Quoting: Egonaut
Quoting: dudiblahBreaks cinnamon on mint 18.1 with kernel 4.11. 4.10 is fine however.
You can't install the Nvidia-drivers on 4.11.0 due to policy changes in the Kernel. The Kernel just don't allow any non GPL code anymore. The Nvidia driver uses a mix of MIT/GPL License and that's the Problem.

There are 3 ways to fix that:
1) Patch the Nvidia driver [External Link], which is a legal issue.
2) Patch the Linux Kernel [External Link] to allow non GPL code too.
3) Wait for 4.11.1, which should come this weekend and will allow mixed Licenses.
Thanks for the heads up. Almost did a ooopsy.

Project Zomboid adds vehicles in a new beta

Quoting: FaalagornYup, basically people are fed up y long waiting times, but I find most other arguments from the review (and other reviews) mention invalid. Purchase now should be based mostly on whether you thing the game at the current state is worth it - if not, wait for a more complete build :) Unless you are dedicated enough to help improve the game and/or want to play with mods filling the gaps with missing features.
Yup seems fair.
Will hold off.
I got burned by quite a few Early Access titles when early access was new so I have a cynical disposition towards them.

WolfQuest, the simulation game where you can be a wolf, has a Linux build now

Quoting: AlveKattI am a cat person myself, so I recommend Shelter 2. The graphics are a lot simpler, but also look a helluva lot better. It's so very beautiful.

Seriously cheap on Humble store right now:

As another cat person thanks for the tip.
Picked it up though no clue when I will have time to play it.

I honestly thought this would be an asset flip.
This is an actual game ?
And actual zoo keepers had input ?
Odd. I would expect something a little more .... polished , I guess ?:(

Also it reminds me of this old abandonware :

ok . so seems some players may have a bone to pick with the devs at this point.
I've seen a lot of complaints over how long development is taking but if they changed the scope it might make sense.
I wanted to hear from this community since I trust it more than some random steam review.
May pick this up on sale and give it a go and see if I like it.
