This may be ancient news to some of you- but it's insane.

How the heck do you even play CS on a touch-screen?

Nice. I got it on my netbook (lubuntu 13.04) from Steam. I was so happy to find out it's a native Linux game.

There's also a demo of Descent for Android, with even worse control issues:

I really wish they'd compile Dwarf Fortress for the Arch chip set

If you go to the Play Store you can find "Counter-Strike Portable" which is pretty much the same thing but has a lot more players, and support for higher res phones and tablets.

I've been waiting for a descent build to pop up for quite some time. Maybe steam OS will help jump start some development on this front.

Steam OS doesn't run Android, but there are Linux versions of all three Descent games already. Not sure how well the Loki D3 port works these days though... but it's D3 so who cares anyway :mrgreen:
