Oxygen Not Included from Klei Entertainment is now officially available on Linux

Quoting: liamdawePlayed it on stream tonight, as it replaced ATOM RPG, which I wasn't feeling up for reading all the dialogue (I have a cold, ergh).
Gesundheit! (*)

(*) My dictionary says this would be used at least in the US - is it?
Yep, US-only as far as I know. In Britain, it's more common to say 'bless you' after someone sneezes. But not as a note of sympathy for someone who has a cold! If you did that, you would just sound very old fashioned and religious! :D

Quoting: stretch611Installing now... Bought it during the Klei sale 2 weeks ago...
I think that would count as a Windows sale, which is a shame. I can't remember exactly how it works - most played platform in two weeks? What if you've never played it?

Ah, well. I got the sale price too, which is a bonus, but I'd have paid full price for this, despite it being Early Access. Klei games tend to be worth every penny.

Reassembly was superb, but its interface wasn't the best. This looks like an excellent step up. Will buy the moment it's released.

Project 5: Sightseer looks like a brilliant open-world sandbox game, releasing next month

Quoting: devlandMisleading title. The game is not being "released". The early access campaign is being started and final product will differ greatly if it will even get finished.

Please stop labeling early access campaigns as "releases".
There's a giant orange "EARLY ACCESS" tag on the main page, and again at the bottom of the article. The title itself doesn't need to make the distinction - indeed, if it did, it would probably muddy up searching the site as so many titles would include the words.

I don't care for Early Access either 9 times out of 10, but I do like to see what's coming down the road.

Goddam. Another insta-buy. My wallet is a pale shadow of its former self. Really, really looking forward to playing this - and the amount of content they've released for it since the original Youtube LetsPlays and Mac release is astounding. Can. Not. Wait.

Well, actually I can and my bank account thanks me for it.

Great. Just sank £35 on the Steam sale yesterday and now I'll be buying this too?! Oof.

Quoting: scaineI really enjoyed the first one and this looks a little deeper, so I'll do doubt end up getting this too.
This game looks appealing to me. But it looks so similar to the previous one. Since it sounds like you have played the prior, should I go for that one, or jump right into the new one?
I can only vouch for the first, but if/when I pick this up, I'll let you know! I sunk nearly 10 hours into the first game, which isn't bad for a £7 title.

Planet Nomads is about to get a lot more interesting

Yeah, single player was a blow, but this is still insta-buy for me. Love the style and I'm a big sand-box fan. Plus, all the co-op mode supporting games I own, I usually end up playing them single-player anyway (hello FortressCraft Evolved!)...
