Great news! I'm using MangoHUD constantly for my tests and videos, and GOverlay is a very user-friendly way to change the MangoHUD settings.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York released for Linux
2 Feb 2020 at 5:58 pm UTC

I've enjoyed my first playthrough. I will play it with other two characters, though, in order to see how much your choices affect the ending.
Besides that, I've discovered a bug: Steam Cloud Save doesn't work. The game neither uploads nor downloads the save files.
If you are experiencing the same problem, please, leave a comment in this discussion. [External Link]. The developer told me they are investigating the issue.

Great news!
Slay the Spire is my favourite Linux game of 2019. I never really liked deck-building games, but this one is very special.

GemRB, the FOSS game engine for Bioware's Infinity Engine had a new release recently

This is very interesting, because Icewind Dale 2 is not available on Linux (the source code is lost so Beamdog couldn't make an enhanced edition).

I don't mind the wait, because I prefer to play the episodic games (like Life Is Strange) in one go anyway.

I like visual novels that have a proper story, which seems to be the case here. So I'm definitely going to get it.
Besides, I like the art style.

Confessing my continued love of the Steam Controller, a few years after release
8 Jun 2019 at 3:08 pm UTC

I love mine too, and I'm not a gamepad person. Give me a keyboard and a mouse and I'm a happy man.
Still, there are some games designed mainly for controllers, and that's when the Steam Controller saves my day. It takes some getting used to in the beginning, but the learning curve is not that scary and it's really comfortable to use afterwards.
I also like the fact that Valve continues to improve the Steam Controller support with Proton. For example, it was frustrating not being able to use it, when I first got Yakuza 0, but now it works perfectly.
My biggest complaint about the current design is the battery compartment. Every time I have to change the batteries I struggle with the one on the right side. I thought that maybe it's a defect of my controller in particular, but it seems that I'm not the only one.
