Been playing it a lot over the years.

The best experience i've had with xcom-alike games was with OXCE-Files, and Xenonauts XDivision.

The 40K mods are fine too.

I hope hugely that Xenonauts2 will see modders love, amazing things might come from that.

I've been on Manjaro for years now, not sure, between 5 and 10, and i'm feeling very alright for gaming and working and multimediaing, etc. Before i was on Mint, for about 5 years i'd say, and it was fine too.

The "retro" part of Good Old Games was never really a target for me. But DRM free, download and own, offline, and games not seen elsewhere, yes. I've stopped GoG entirely for Steam, because despite DRM sometimes, i can much easily-ier play on Linux, native or via Proton, and get a refund too (many times, but less now, as proper demo seem to be back in the trends...). I think now refund are a thing on GoG too, but they would need a "huge" effort toward Linux to be in my choice again.

Same as you @Tam. I tried it a few times over the years, and i never really found the appeal.

The first one was truly amazing at its time. Bugs and all, but great in its way.

This new one ? Not really the sequel "we" want. Stupid price and DLC policy.

Will probably pass.

Massive scale RTS game Ashes of the Singularity II announced for 2026

have stamped BAR the GOAT for the genre
My main issue is, it's build toward competition, PvP. I'd like an even slower pace, larger map, more durable units, more cohesive base building (ie : real fortified walls with doors etc). Other than that, it's "so good" i have issue playing any other RTS (but i'm a casual, hardcore eternal noob in all games)...

The first one was supposed to be great, but it was not. Not sure why, can't remember well, but it dropped the fun somewhere on the road.
