Hilariously I want this more than the base game.

I really wish I could get into the Total War games, but I just get overwhelmed by all of the different mechanics. Plus I'm not very good at RTS games in general.

This is one of those projects that I'm very excited to try out but can't get it working on my own.

I hope it'll eventually become an easy-to use option with Lutris or something out-of-the-box with Steamplay.

Grabbed it and tried it out last night. It sort of reminded me of Elemental: War of Magic/Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes, but hex based.

I didn't find the tutorial to be great, however, and ended up just wanting to play FE again. :P

Navi exceeded my expectations, at least on Linux if Phoronix's results are consistent with others will get. The fact that the XT occasionally surpasses the 2070S/2080 despite being $100 less is phenomenal. If I have any concern, it's that at least at this time, the results are a bit inconsistent (Dirt Rally vs Deus Ex MD).

I had pretty high hopes for Ryzen 2 and it looks like it pretty much meets expectations. The only mildly disappointing point is that, at least with pre-release bios, there's absolutely no overclocking headroom. Not a big deal for me since I never seem to have great luck with it anyway, but I was hoping to see there was headroom.

Both are tempting upgrades, but I'm going to try to hold on to my current system for at least another year until Ryzen 2+ and Arcturus/Nvidia's 3000 series releases. I think my 1700 and Fury can do that without too much cutbacks in quality settings. The one nice thing is that my B350 MB got a bios update to support Ryzen 2, so potentially I could just upgrade the chip when the discounts get deep enough.

I really need to cancel my subscription. I didn't pause last month's in time, so I'm stuck with it.

In the past, the bundles were rather good values (at least, if you are looking at it from a Windows perspective). But the last few months I've either owned the "big" game of the month or I have no interest.
