The weekend has arrived and for many of you this is likely your best time to boot up your favourite game, so what are you all playing?
The weather over here has turned for the worst, we've gone from ridiculous heat to stormy showers and so the majority of my time will likely be staring at a brightly lit screen. Naturally, that means I will be playing some awesome Linux games.
I'm likely going to be throwing out my usual experiences for something a little different—ah who I am kidding? I'm totally going to be jumping in at the deep end with Oxygen Not Included's latest update. Such an insanely engrossing game, multiple times I've loaded it up and time just gets sucked away into a black hole.
So my awesome readers, what are you clicking on this weekend?
I also just got a rabbit, so a lot of my time will be staring at it going "It's so fluffy!". I'm also 30 on Monday, so I won't be around much then for gaming.

Last weekend i was replaying Witcher 2. First time on Linux, i have to say that the port ran excellently for me, on AMDGPU. I don't understand why people said that the port wasn't good.
It was fixed pretty quickly, so whoever said it wasn't good were talking about early release.

This weekend i am replaying Witcher 3 for the 3rd time, first time on Linux, with Wine 3.13 and DXVK 0.63. I have to say, it runs pretty well all things considered.
Soon there might be a workaround for the last remaining issues. [See here](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/2753/post_id=16596).

CS:GO, because AWP flickshots and AK47 headshots are quite addictive! Also, the prime system looks like it worked. I found good teammates and no one yelling on the microphone

Oxygen not included - i usually only have time on Sunday evenings for gaming as my little girl and little boy keeping me busy.
The last three content updates imho made an already good game to a great game.
I want to reach the surface and try out those solar panels.
However, before I have to figure out how to use steam geysers correctly without overheating the base. Secondly I need to learn how to use steam to clean polluted water.

I've been rediscovering Braid and retro half life; I'm going on a trip and taking an old junker laptop instead of my gaming whip- and I'm preparing for a lan party in honor of half life's 20th anniversary I'm hosting for my birthday party.

Finished Where the Water Tastes Like Wine this morning (interesting game) and wanted to give a shot at The Station but run in a "black screen" bugs when the game begins (i.e. after the menu). :'(
Edit (in case someone reads this comment after a search about the "black screen" bug of The Station): dev' are reactive (on Steam), the bug seems to be linked to the French language pack (a similar bug seems to have affected the Russian language pack before) and a fix should be available soon! :)

I picked up Turok today, it's my first playthrough and loving it so much. The level design is by far my favorite part of this game, the platforming, puzzles and the way you unlock levels is well put together.
On the technical aspect, the Linux port is brilliant so far - 3hrs in and not a single crash.
