Hi Jeff!
It's great to meet you!
I haven't played CS in years---you reminded me how much I miss it. I do
think one can play it over Steam on Linux now (but I haven't checked in
a long time).
If there's anything at all we can help with, please give us a shout on
any of the communication channels/tickets and so on.
Looking forward to see you around the channels and maybe we should
organise a (another, since I think these have happened before) community
gaming session sometime? 🤔
