Pre-ordered (I know I know) to take advantage of the 10% off. I have no doubts into Fractional's ability to release an excellent Linux-supported game.

As I already have a buyer lined up I'm likely to order the 5950X to replace my 3950X.

In the meantime before Big Navi I might downgrade to a RX 560 4GB I have lying around as the Radeon VII is still selling for $800 on eBay. I've never made a hundred dollars on a used GPU.

I'd love to try Soldat.

Quoting: undeadbydawnAnd the sound. By the Gods that cockroach-crunching sound has me squirming to the marrow. That sound is significantly worse than being killed by the monsters. As game design goes it's utterly superb.

Just wait until the splashing...

I love A:tDD and I hate horror. I don't think there's another game that scared me more than the first amnesia. The first outlast came close (+1 for its Linux support) but neither the second outlast, SOMA, or Amnesia: a machine for pigs have had that same impact on me. I do need to check out the penumbra series as well as force myself through SOMA.

This is the most enticing Ryzen laptop I've seen yet and it's not even from a major manufacturer. It seems that all major manufacturers (in the USA at least) cut corners on their AMD models compared to their Intel counterparts.

• All AMD
• Metal
• NVMe storage
• Colour-Accurate screen
• Upgradable Ram

If there was a thicker model with a discrete RX 5600M/5700M I'd be sold. The only laptop like that is the Dell G5 SE, a mostly plastic machine that runs rather hot.

Quoting: randylThe main negative for me now is that Stadia requires a subscription plus a retail fee and possibly a cash shop on top of that.

Not sure if you're unaware but Stadia is free and does not require a subscription. Stadia Pro is only needed if you wish to Stream at 4K, have access to the "free" pro games, or receive special discounts.

If you were to buy a game on stadia, say Doom: Eternal, you could then stream the game for free at 1080P as long as you wished. No other cloud gaming provider works like this.

Quoting: dubigrasuWhat about 1080p though, does it work at 60fps? (really don't care about 4k fortunately)

It's 60FPS at 1080P on Stadia.

Quoting: dubigrasuSo what to do, what to do...
Should I get Metro Exodus at a crazy good price on Stadia and play now, or wait until the Linux version comes up on Steam, sometimes in the future?
(btw, is it still coming to Linux?)

I'm waiting for the Linux native release even though I have it claimed on Stadia Pro. TBH the 30fps performance at 4K on Stadia is a bit hard to accept given the performance of other such Metro games on Linux.

The Linux depot [External Link] on steam was last updated 27 days ago. QA testing, perhaps?

Quoting: Avehicle7887Managed to finish off Metro: Exodus today, it was a joyride all the way through. Started the DLC "Sam's Story" which picks up right after the main game ends.

Still waiting on that Native release to jump into this one. I can't wait.

I rebought Sea of Thieves on steam as soon as it started working in proton (requires a fix or Proton-GE) and have close to 60 hours in the game. It’s been a blast with friends. Once voice chat is fixed in game it’ll be much easier to play/communicate with larger random crews that can’t join a discord server.
