What are you playing this weekend?

xenonauts and champions of regnum

Most likely going to be jumping into no man's sky it's been running awsome in wine but that will have to wait until the wife and boys are in bed

Dying Light and Imperium Galactica 2

Since Overwatch is having a free weekend, I thought it a good opportunity to give DXVK a spin. It works rather well. I'm impressed.

GMod and Overload. Halo Online.

Well, I've been playing Rust, prior to the recent Support controversy. And playing more Rust, after reading most of the GOL comments about the controversy.

Feel like sharing some of my game events...

I'm a solo player, playing it from a survivalist view-point. During play, anything could happen, you could turn around a corner and come face to face with a bear, a player with much better weapons than you, you could open 100 crates and not get an item you desperately need. Or you could open one crate and get just what you needed. As a solo-ist, the game is extra hard if you run into other players, particularly a group of co-op players who can potentially all gang up on you.

My previous Rust game, I'd got to the point where I'd placed two hidden bases at different points on the play map. I'd stocked up each base, so in the scenario that one would be attacked I'd still have a decent set of equipment in the other base. An event happened which bothered me: I'd entered the Oxum Gas Station, gone around looting it, and then climbed down the ladder into the little cave section. I spotted a player in the cave, and a crate with a stone in it. The other guy was wearing basic clothes and no weapon, and didn't attack me or behave hostile to me. I was kitted up. So, I left them in peace down in the cave. A bit later I was stood at the recycler, recycling all the items to get useful components. I was alert, but not being really careful about my characters well-being. BAMM! Shotgun to the back of my head. Dead on the floor. Who did it? The weakling from down in the cave, had snuck up and taken his chances. Mean-spirited opportunist. From that point in the game onwards, I have been even more careful in my play, checking the area before using recyclers. Taking cover and being weaponised while recycling (or other activity where you are not fully focussed on what is around you). Haven't been caught out again. And I didn't lose much anyway, seeing as I am regularly unloading back at base.

Then, in the last 5 hours of play. Oh, what a shame - There has been a partial server wipe. My character wakes up where my base had been located. Same map, both bases gone, still got my blueprints, and my character has no equipment whatsoever. This is a pretty bad situation. I couldn't even chop trees for wood, to build tools. So, off I go scavenging. One of the very first things I find is a metal pickaxe in a roadside crate. Oh, how good is my fortune today! Anyway, things continue to go reasonably well. I'm looting, I'm recycling, I'm getting decent equipment. Built my first reasonable base in 2 hours of play (Stone walls, metal doors, code locks.) Then, in my next gaming session, I found a great place to hide a second base, and I've gone through missions of moving items from base to base, building the new base, and getting myself into a decent standing (i.e. Sufficient food, supplies, weapons, and so on).

I like the survivalist nature of the game, trying to hide bases so that they won't become targets. Trying to build bases efficiently and to maximise their defence against attackers. Scavenging while avoiding being attacked. Trying to be ready for any eventuality and the unexpected interactions of other human players (and AI-controlled enemies too).

I've got plenty more to play if Rust does stop working on Linux, but I'm happy to keep going with it, if it does stay active.

But I take it you don't play on the GOL server? Don't remember seeing you there recently...

By the time I get back home, it'll technically be Monday. So nothing!

I'm getting back into Minecraft after the recent 1.13 release. Been a while since I last played; it's like a whole new game :D

Yes, I've moved on. I did have a long stint on the GOL Rust server, particularly when I was less familiar with the game. It is a good server for starting out, i.e. less hostile than some of the others. It is also a good server for camaraderie, chatting while playing, and practising building skills. But I tend to prefer the threat and survival aspect of other servers, i.e. not being familiar with the other players. At some point, I might be back on the GOL one.

Hmmmm.... Gunpoint, Sanctum2, DoW2. Maybe go through The Station and/or Firewatch.

Golden krone hotel

Played as easy and won at the first time. It's so easy for a roguelike player.

About the length I needed just 7832 turns.

Another weekend I will try another difficulty setting

Theme is very nice and original.

In my case the winter and the early spring is best as I did find a lot of value in going through the Baldur's Gate games while I was waiting on cows to calve or when the weather outside was too poor to do any real work.

In the summer I am too busy which is why my party is stuck just having left the Underdark at the moment. :|

Does Bitwig Studio count as a game? Ok it doesn't but it's what I'm playing around with. And it's on Linux! :D

edit: can't be the whole weekend when it's saturday, duh

I just loaded up Baldur's Gate EE in hopes of actually playing through the whole thing this time. I don't know how many times I have tried and given up. Not a slight on the game, rather my attention span.
