I haven't downloaded the new version yet, but I will do some reading first and see what they have changed or added. Then I will give it a try on a test computer. Hopefully they didn't remove the packages and manual installation functionality like in Phoenicis

.kkrieger was created to be a tech demo to see how small a game could be made. Not short, but small... as in capacity. Boasting beautiful graphics, textures, lighting, intricate level design, spooky enemies, small arsenal of weapons and sound effects. In its unfinished state, .kkrieger is about 100Kb in size. This is the most code optimized game ever made.

We were recently given a Steam key to trial Fantasy Strike:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/390560/Fantasy_Strike/
http://www.fantasystrike.com

When I was younger I used to play more Fighting games with friends. Games like:

• Mortal Kombat
• Street Fighter
• Darkstalkers
• Samurai Showdown
• Tekken
• Clay Fighter
• Bushido Blade
• Killer Instinct
• Soul Caliber

I must have played too much because I'm not as engaged with today's fighting games and I get frustrated easily.

Fantasy Strike is a 3D fighting game where you can play against opponents online. I was able to use my Xbox controller in Mint 18.3 and utilize all of the available characters. The art is very Borderlands-style and animations are perfect for fact action fighting and special moves. Each character have typical (Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat) moves, but also a few unique moves as well. As with any fighting game, you...

Choose a team of 3 characters from the Sonic games and work your way through fast levels full of jumps, traps and enemies. Switch between your characters abilities to eliminate enemies and finish the level. Each level can be completed in different ways and then at the end is a boss fight.

Finally after several years of waiting, PlayOnLinux developers released the first Alpha version of PlayOnLinux 5
https://www.playonlinux.com/en/comments-1354.html

Installers:
https://repository.playonlinux.com/PlayOnLinux/5.0.0-alpha1

Unfortunately they are scripting games from scratch, which means there are currently 135 supported Games/Installers (scripts)

Report bugs here:
https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/phoenicis/issues

They changed the names of the tabs so now we have:

• Library
• Apps
• Containers
• Engines
• Installations
• Settings

Library Tab
Is kind of confusing, specially with no games installed. It must be where the shortcuts will reside once you install something?

Apps Tab
This is where you can search their repository of scripted installers... or Games. Similar to clicking Install in POL4

Containers Tab
Shows you all of your wineprefixes and allows you to modify them like...

Extracts from yesterday's LKML:

"I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development entirely."

"I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to
understand people's emotions and respond appropriately."

"This is not some kind of "I'm burnt out, I need to just go away"
break. I'm not feeling like I don't want to continue maintaining
Linux. Quite the reverse. I very much *do* want to continue to do
this project that I've been working on for almost three decades."

"This is more like the time I got out of kernel development for a while
because I needed to write a little tool called "git". I need to take
a break to get help on how to behave differently and fix some issues
in my tooling and workflow."

From Reuters:
"Brave, a privacy-focused web browser set up by Silicon Valley engineering guru Brendan Eich, filed privacy complaints in Britain and Ireland that could become a test case against search company Google and other digital advertising firms.

The petitioners say they want to trigger an article in the new European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requiring an EU-wide investigation, making it a test case for a new European Data Protection Board created to give the privacy regime more teeth."
