The Stanley Parable Released For Linux, You Will Play It, You Won’t Play it

and video here as well :)

quick notes: runs well over 200 fps on everything very high, simplescreenrecorder with nvenc has issues keeping up with some weird high framerates that dont equal in 60fps increments... so few drops in the video due that, but the actual framerate is smoothly over 200

yeah like liamdawe said.. autoupdates, everything in one place, community features etc.
there were times when i pirated games, like 10-12 years ago, because it was easier than buying and running CD all the time in your drive.. but since buying is made so easy now its not worth to pirate anymore and everything is up to date and ready for gaming with few clicks. dont really care if i dont "own" this game 20-30 years later when maybe steam is going offline or not.. i have had my time to enjoy those for the money i payed.

MadOut Is A Pretty Terrible Combat Racer On Linux

it feels more like a mobile phone game not a PC game. all the tracks are pretty much the same, textures are terrible, music is terrible, translation errors.

handling isnt that bad actually and damage model can be overlooked also but the rest is just pure junk

it was i think 103MB also only.

What Have You Been Playing Recently, And What Do You Think About It?

Dirt Showdown .. Multiplayer with friend, cause singleplayer campaign is just garbage imo.

Really wish Dirt Rally was ported to Linux :(

a Bit of Audiosurf 2 every now and then as well, always nice to relax and play your favourite tracks :)

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Reviewed For Linux

not really my type of game again, was fun for like 1-2 hours then just the same stuff over and over.
performance is also terrible. fighting in big outposts/cities/camps fps drops to 25-35, while running around in the wilderness is smooth 50+ fps on everything maxed. lowering settings doesnt really bring the FPS up except the max fps goes up but lows still are there.
FX 8320@4,2 and GTX 970 ... probably not very optimized for AMD CPU's
