It's Sunday, I'm extremely tired after a long day and I've been coding away at the new PC Specifications feature for user profiles so I don't really have time to post up news articles tonight (it's getting late). So I ask you: What are you playing, and what do you think?
I've been playing Stellaris, and you will know what I think about it tomorrow! I've already sunk 5.3 hours into it according to Steam, blimey!
Apart from that I have been enjoying Tomb Raider up to the last fire-fight I was in where sadly the framerate went really bad and it became a struggle. I don't really want to play any more right now until they put out some form of performance patch as that last bit I did sadly soured it for me.
As for random news, we are aware the new Doom has been shown off running on Vulkan, I'm not going to give it a news article since it's not coming to Linux and really doesn't mean anything for us directly (you can stop sending it in now :P) Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Not a Hero: I picked this up during the previous Humble Bundle; it's definitely a well-made, fun game -- though the later stages can get a bit too challenging if you're a sluggish old geezer like me, with diminished motor skills. I quite like the sense of humor too.
Hotline Miami: I can barely advance to the 4th chapter. I really like the concept, do wish to play further, but it seems like I simply lack the skills to do so.
Downwell: ... what, a non-linux title??? Actually, this is a 'game maker' game that *can* run *natively* on Linux, with a game maker executable obtained from elsewhere. (e.g., a free demo) This is absolutely addicting; and I've spent more time on this, than any other game recently. Still haven't beat it though. Check some videos on youtube, this one's highly recommended -- though admittedly it's not an official linux sale, etc. But it sounds like the developer has no intentions to bring it to linux, despite the fact that it *already runs* on linux. Go figure. I guess he can't be bothered to figure out the steam integration, etc. for a linux port.

I've solved the last two optimization puzzles in Human Ressource Machine - yeah!
Finally got the hardest puzzle, program size of prime factorisation...
And I played a few more hours of Deponia Dommsday.
Did not buy Lara yet, still too much on the stack.

Where Linux games are concerned, I've been playing some Mountain Blade: Warband and Baldur's Gate: EE. Furthermore I've been trying out Final Fantasy XIII and Dark Souls II under Wine.

Quake via QuakeSpasm source port. Yup, I still do not have a decent PC. :-P

Quoting: rea987Quake via QuakeSpasm source port. Yup, I still do not have a decent PC. :-PThat's still one of the best FPS ever.
I play Quake single player on QuakeSpasm and QuakeWorld on EZQuake quite a bit.
There's also Yamagi Quake 2 and q2pro for some Quake II fragfest.
If you want to have a quick death match someday I'd be interested.

STILL playing Torchlight 2, Dominions 4, as well as Star Drive 2, and, yes, Half-Life.

I recently tried Tomb Raider but with the camera controls as they are and all those QTEs I find the whole game too horrible to play. The lack of performance doesn't help either. And let no one tell you the game is playable on Mesa 11.2. Thats a blatant lie.
I played some Human Resource Machine but the puzzles are simply not challenging. Still an enjoyable game.
I started with Episode 1 of Supreme League of Patriots yesterday and while I agree with the reviews I find the game interesting enough to continue playing it.

I've been Playing PA:T (as usual) & the beta community made expansion: Legion. Also se-up a VM so I could play Dark Souls III, twitch streams of Bloodborne really pulled me into the line of games. Since I had the VM up I've also played a little Rocket League with friends (any news about on when the Linux port is actually getting a release?).

I found some optimization puzzles to be challenging.
Btw, they said that all speed optimization challenges except the obvious case are solvable without loop unrolling:

Didn't suceed without for all of them, though.
