The trailer for the MMO Albion Online 'Galahad' update is impressive

It certainly looks better, but it's still very far from what was announced years ago (medieval Eve Online). It's way too much a MOBA, and they don't listen to some super smart clever gamers giving some awesome feedback to improve gameplay (seriously), such as fully reworking the Learning Points.

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

River City Ransom, not sure if i like it, quickly boring in my opinion. Too much nostalgia involved, and i'm not nostalgic. A good modern game would be nice...

Meadow, an odd MMORPG from the team behind Shelter games

VoidExpanse with the newly released DLC Pariah's Bane

Legend of Eisenwald, a surprislingly good mix between HOMM and Battle Brothers

Realpolitiks, could be good with some DLC maybe, too shallow right now

Codex of Victory, i don't want to play much because release in soon, but it feels great already.

A look at how much RAM you might need as a Linux gamer

Linux Mint 18 64bits Xfce
Intel Core i5 4590 (4 x 3,3 GHz)
MSI GeForce GTX 960 @ 2 Go
8 Go DIMM DDR3 PC12800

I usually have Firefox open, and Steam, Itchio or nothing, depending on games, and so far i'm still satisfied with my setup. I bought it i think about 3 years ago, and i play i'd say 75% indi games, often "low tech", but sometimes AAA too (MadMax, Rocket League, Warhammer...). Sure i don't play "Ultra", but it's good enough, so far.

Valve are working on a new design for the Steam client

They could, or should, get inspiration from itchio...

Some thoughts on Realpolitiks, a real-time grand strategy game now on Linux

some deep, yet accessible gameplay
Well, the demo, and the reviews on Steam, and the forum discussions, seem to say the opposite, as the lack of depth and cohesion is what is lacking to the game. Unless they release paths and (free) DLC to add layers of gameplay, it's pretty shallow, and easy to see everything you can do within the game in 5-10 hours.

I'd like to like it, but from my (little) experience, i don't.

How to record videos on Linux using OBS Studio with separate audio tracks for gameplay and microphone

I agree, could have "permanent articles" such as this guide, where to buy games (like, Humble vs G2A) and so.

Nice one, i tried OBS a little but i'm not into video, i prefer text, but articles like this makes me want to try more.

My first attempt, i played 2-3 hours before i new i was playing offline, haha... I was sure i was playing against other players, but then i noticed they where not talking...

Looks like 'Warhammer: Arcane Magic', a digital board-game will add Linux support

It's super ugly... I don't care about engines, pixels and all, but the choices of color, UI, models... all are tasteless. Maybe the game is good, i don't know, but the skin is really not attractive.

Nyheim, a single-player digital board-game about rebuilding after a pandemic

It's actually quite fun and interesting. I agree, the GUI is huge, ad clearly made for phones, but it's still "fine", unlike some other phone games ported to PC. Anyway for its price i'd say it's a nice addition to a game library.
