It's like someone grabbed Meeple Station and Starmancer and made an awesome baby.

Oh man I really hope it comes to Linux natively! If not, at least I hope it runs well on proton. :P

Dwarf Fortress is coming to Steam and itch.io with enhancements, some info about Linux support

I'm actually looking forward to this. Dwarf Fortress has always been such an opaque game to me, with too many stuff to do just to get everything to look okay.

Building and management sim 'School Owner' coming to Linux in May

Oh wow, it really has like a city skylines meets the sims meets school academia vibe! I'll keep my eye on it.

I've been keeping my eye on this one and I'm really glad it's still coming along.

I hadn't heard about this game yet! Seems like it's right up my alley.

Quoting: DraconicroseGoG is like third on my list of stores to look at, mostly because of what a PITA it is to download and install games bought there. So Humble and Steam usually get my money.
I'm curious how GOG is any more of a PITA than Humble? Both pretty simple: go to website, log in, download.

If you're using lgogdownloader, it's even easier than Humble.
Usually Humble also gives you a Steam key. ;)
Which has nothing to do with downloading and installing from Humble. Really, if you care about the DRM-free aspect, GOG is better than Humble. There are zero standards as to what you are getting from Humble. Sometimes it's an archive, sometimes its an installer. There isn't any real consistency with Humble - there are cases where the base game is DRM-free, but the DLC is steam-only. The updates at Humble are often just as haphazard as they are at GOG.

Other than the Steam key, there aren't many reasons to shop at Humble.
There's two major reasons for me: donating to charity and supporting partnered youtubers and websites. Steam itself doesn't offer partnerships to people and GoG is stingy af with theirs, so I prefer Humble. In the very few cases (so far) where it doesn't offer a steam key I do buy the game on steam.

Single-player god game 'Godhood' from Abbey Games is fully funded and heading to Linux

Now I feel bad I never had the disposable income to support it. This game is right up my alley and I hope to play it on my channel when it comes out.
