Same, our battle just to get a foothold on Ashlands was pretty epic but now we’ve taken down a fortress and things are getting a lot easier.


misleading? I guess if you aren’t familiar with the game and expecting anime game art I could see the confusion but the content pretty accurately describes the feeling of entering the Ashlands.


This update for the native Linux game [Valheim](https://store.steampowered.com/app/892970/Valheim/) has been in testing for a month but is now fully released.

Haha, the early VR stuff was pretty terrible, but it was cool that D1 supported it.



Yeah I like FPS games sometimes but I find them really hard to watch especially if the streamer is twitchy on the mouse and/or the bitrate isn’t really high.


That seems to be the case with the majority of the streams I’ve seen, just folks havin fun with a few friends showing up now and then. I do like to check out the odd streamer I’ve never seen especially if it’s a game I know really well. What games have you been streaming lately?




While the gameplay isn't for everyone I think the yearly TI production can be pretty fun to watch with how excited the crowd and casters can get when the action happens. Valve has also done a good job keeping the native Linux client up to date, though the change to SDL3 had a few bumps Icculus was able to help get most of those sorted out now.

Palia is fun for awhile but not a lot of lasting content there yet.
An oldschool style Linux native MMO I still recommend is Project Gorgon. It’s a very social game, while you can do a lot solo eventually you’ll run into the game’s only real punishment which is dying from a boss fight. You’ll get a permanent curse that can only be lifted by defeating that boss and the best way to do that is to find other players in game to help you do it.


It’s just a source release, not even a Linux port done yet. It should be possible to build it for DOS and run it in dosbox but I don’t know the tools required for that.



Yeah that makes sense for how it works now, but I imagine if they plan to monetize installs they’d also make the telemetry required for all game functionality. That assumes they actually cared about the data and didn’t plan to just make it all up and charge whatever they want.


Wouldn’t unity just block the games from running if they don’t connect? I guess you could crack the games, then maybe we’ll have some weird future where devs encourage players to crack their games…


Some of the best family friendly co-op games I’ve played:
Stardew Valley
Valheim
Don’t Starve Together


Looks like there is a bug that makes this game unstable on some kernels (like in default Ubuntu):

Yeah the bar link works fine. I’m no fan of Blizzard these days but this doesn’t really sound like anything intentional, they probably just screwed up their mobile browser detection.


Dimhaven: A new myst-like from the creators of Quern revealed.
If this is the same quality [Quern](https://store.steampowered.com/app/512790/Quern__Undying_Thoughts/) was I can't wait to play it!
