I bought Stellaris out of curiosity mainly, since I don't have much time for video games! Can anyone suggest a good game on sale which can be played in short sessions?

What have you been playing lately? It's chat time

The original Dying Light. This style of game usually isn’t my cup of coffee, but this one seems above average so I’ll try it a bit longer.

Highly recommend Shadow Tactics, it's a really clever and fun game.

Into the Breach from Subset Games (FTL) now supports Linux

Quoting: garpuPicked it up, but the linux build isn't on Steam yet? Wants to launch with proton.
Yeah, same here. The Linux icon was there, I hoped Steam will pick up the native version, but it didn't. Any idea how to switch?
I've just learned that once you force the "Steam Linux Runtime" as "Steam Play compatibility tool" you will get the Linux version.
I was getting an "An error occurred while updating Into the Breach (Missing Executable)" error. Right clicking on the title in Steam, clicking "properties" I was able to checkmark "Force the use of a specific Steam Play Compatibility Tool" and select "Steam Linux Runtime". Now, when I try to play the game, it just silently fails. Hmmm...

Sorry for the necrobump but I was trying to play Into the Breach today because they have a new native Linux build and got this error :/

I tried out Destiny 2 but found it a bit laggy. I was using Chrome (not Chromium) though so I rebooted into Windows and tried playing it on Chrome there.. also laggy.

I use Arch Linux. How do I buy and play games from GOG?

Quoting: rick01457I had to get a second steam controller of course. The first one still has not a single issue with it (and is already being used to great effect to play the new Tomb Raider). It would certainly be a shame if this was the end of this product line because this controller style really does have a place, but it certainly helps my sadness to be able to pick one up for peanuts.
I’m tempted to buy the new Tomb Raider, any thoughts compared to ROTTR so far? I found that one enjoyable

What have you been clicking on this weekend?

Picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider for about $10 CAD. So far loving it. I find the graphics and gameplay great for 4 year old game.
