It's the weekend already? It's also September! When did that happen?
This weekend's main dish is going to be Two Point Hospital, the recent release that has you build a hospital and cure people from some really strange and slightly amusing afflications. So far it seems pretty good and runs really nicely. I will have some proper thoughts up early next week on that!
I've no doubt I will also be diving into some more BlazeRush (70% off on Humble) and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (60% off on Humble). Both of which I'm loving in local multiplayer with the mini-me.
Doom in Steam Play is also on the radar. I have to say I am really impressed with it, some good demon slaying to be had. The Vulkan performance is nuts, so smooth!
So the question is: what are you playing this weekend? Do let us know what you think about it!

Hot Lava and Thief (2014) with the help of Proton.
Received Hot Lava from a friend as a gift and wasn't able to get it up and running with Wine myself, but Proton is as easy as install and play from within Steam. Awesome! It's a Klei game, so you bet it's quality work, even in its pre-release state.
I bought Thief back when I was still dual booting, but I never was able to finish the tutorial mission because of a gfx driver related crash I wasn't able to resolve no matter which driver I used. Tried with Wine last year and had very poor performance and weird input behavior. Now with Proton it is very playable, only minor annoyances like subtitles not playing on cue. Going the full stealth route, no knockouts, no dousing flames and hoping to achieve 100% loot on each mission. Looking good so far :)

I don't know yet. So... many... games... now. :)
Thanks to Proton, I rediscovered Castle Crashers through the week, and weirdly, unlike most games I had on the Xbox 360, it doesn't feel as if I only played it a month ago. So I might have a blast on that. Also, without deliberately trying, my F1 campaign (2015, 'cos it was free) is in sync with the real one, so a 25% race at Monza is a distinct possibility too.
I got back into Mount & Blade: Warband recently, even though I know that it'll start crashing eventually, and it's beginning to show the tell-tale graphical glitches so I think that's coming to an end. I might squeeze another few sessions out of it, though. It's one of those games you never hear much about, but I don't know of anyone who plays it who doesn't absolutely love it.

Shadow Warrior 2 here under Wine + DXVK, currently at around 15% completion. I like the RPG elements with the weapon customizations and the character progression system.

Quoting: subQuoting: NeverthelessQuoting: subFinally got back to TIS-100.
For my taste the Zachtronics games are one of the best things to happen. :)
Oh yes, I plan to finish this one too! This "display programming" started to be too much grind-work at the time I played it. And then I somehow I left it alone..
:)
The only complaint I have is that it seems to melt my notebook.
It's getting *extremely* hot for the very simplistic presentation.
It literally hurts my legs while playing for 2 minutes - so I have to put it somewhere else.
This affects all Zachtronics games so far that I played (not including Opus Magnum and the newest one which I both don't have *yet*).
It's Unity based, right?
IIRC, I have similar issues with other Unity games.
For reference:
The notebook has a Haswell CPU/GPU but a rather high display resolution with 2880x1620 pixels.
I don't know what the game is based upon, but it seems unlikely that it uses that much horsepower.
Maybe it's got a cryptocurrency DLC? ;-)
