GoG 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.

Valve is getting back to focusing on gaming, with non-gaming videos being retired

I... didn't even know this was a thing. I never see any videos promoted on the store page. I guess I do have one video it's Free To Play, the documentary, but the way it played in the UI I just assumed someone made a "game" with the Steam API which had the sole purpose of playing a video. O.o

There's a new release candidate of OBS Studio out with a VAAPI video encoder on Linux

Quoting: WizardCM

Have you reported this on the OBS forums or on Discord? This tends to be an edge case, and the more edge cases we know about, the more of them we can fix. It definitely shouldn't happen.
Yeah, on the forums and the bug tracker:

Megaquarium has expanded to allow you to play it exactly how you want

This game is really good! I was worried it was done developing because the dev has been a little quiet (it would have been fine, the game was already great!) but this update does add the search feature which I felt the need for during my playthrough [External Link]!

Putting games across multiple stores is not easy, as developers keep noting recently

I'm rather cool with devs putting stuff on Humble that is actually just a steam key. I like Humble's handling of payment and I like Steam's everything else. :P

Equilinox is a rather beautiful and peaceful nature sim available on Linux
23 Jan 2019 at 1:48 pm UTC

Equilinox has that odd thing going for it that it looks like a god game but it actually isn't. Still, I love it, as can be seen in my let's play of it [External Link]. I actually have to stop myself from playing it too much off-camera.

Puzzling machine learning puzzler 'while True: learn()' recently left Early Access and it's good

As someone who studied programming I found the game pretty spot on in the logic department. Sure, it abstracts a few things, but let me tell you, if you can play this game from start to finish you should pick up programming because you'd probably be decent at it.

I also played it a while back [External Link] if someone would like to see gameplay.

I’m in shock at just how well Overwatch runs with the latest DXVK and Lutris

My boyfriend bought it for me so we could play together and it's so much more enjoyable now! It's hard to remember the game was made for Windows when I don't have to boot it up to play. :D

Space station building sim 'Meeple Station' is now on Steam, with the new publisher Modularity
20 Jan 2019 at 1:46 pm UTC

I played a bit of this game a while back [External Link] and I enjoyed it, though at the time not enough to make it a full series. I'm looking to make it a series again soon because it's right up my alley and at the time only needed a little bit more development.
