WW1 FPS Tannenberg to leave Early Access in February next year, new UI now live
9 Nov 2018 at 9:42 am UTC

I always thought of Verdun as a poor man's Red Orchestra. Too bad Tripwire won't bring RO2 or RS2 to Linux... Might give Tannenberg a go, though, sounds like it's a bit better regarding maps compared to Verdun.

Sounds good! I've never really touched Lutris only looked a bit on their website.

Sounds pretty cool that you can play Overwatch with it with pretty good performance.

@liamdawe Have you heard anything new regarding 64-bit support for Steam? Sorry to derail the train, it just popped into my head! :)

Well... I just moved and won't have internet for a month. So I won't get to play with it until then... :( Gotta have fiber digged in. Looking forward to playing around with Skyrim and following the communities tests. :)

Jeez... here as well. It's a freaking GAME! Why the hell is the damn gender so important? What is there to think about, absolutely nothing. It's just a game.

Looks like I am praising Gaben tonight instead of Thorvalds! That being said, it will probably be some time before it reaches a really good state. It is going to be an exciting year for Steam. 64-bit, this, new UI.

I will still live by "No tux, no bucks", but I still have a fair amount of games from my dark past that I'd like to play at some point and probably won't get a Linux port. :(

The original The Banner Saga is no longer officially supported on Linux
14 Aug 2018 at 1:06 pm UTC

Kinda old news. I asked them back in spring where the Linux version was at: https://steamcommunity.com/app/237990/discussions/0/2860219962097703888/ [External Link]

For those interested there is Ash of Gods: Redemption which looks a lot like Banner Saga.

Insurgency: Sandstorm is looking real good in the latest videos, Linux version should come in the first couple updates
13 Aug 2018 at 7:38 pm UTC

Good to hear! I will probably wait a bit. Have a few things I want to get first, but I am glad they are going to keep supporting Linux. They weren't entirely sure at some point because they switched to a new engine. :)

Indie FPS 'Ballistic Overkill' updated with a new 'Rounds' game mode

Wish they would just come out with a map editor. So many terrible maps in that game.

A new Steam Client Beta is out adding support for PS3 Controllers and many more

So... does this mean I don't have to use xboxdrv anymore? Because that recently broke somehow, and I am just about too lazy to fix it.
