What are you playing this weekend?

By -

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!

If anyone has the game A Hat in Time, how's your hearing? I just got deafened a bit more with the audio volume being permanently set to maximum by default, it's like trying to watch any movie with a score by Hans Zimmer.

Quoting: subThe 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?
Didn't observe anything like this with my Zachtronics. Maybe libstrangle would help you?

Optimizing hell out of 7 Billion Humans.

Quoting: ageresCall of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. I played it back in 2006 and remember it as a very scary game. I heard it runs very bad on Windows newer than XP, but on Linux I haven't experienced any crashes so far.

I remember when I played this, I was on XP but my GPU was "too good" and resulted in some odd bugs. The hard-working dev who ported it to PC helped with some workarounds and I did manage to finish the game.

I got This is the Police and Bioshock Infinite yesterday, and I still need to finish Undertales genocide route, but I can't get past Undyne. Anyone have tips?

Nothing on the PC, the modules of RAM I got for the new build are faulty. Waiting for a replacement now. I will probably play Octopath Traveler on the Switch I guess. Which, by the way, I'm not enjoying so much. Too much hype probably.

I'm on the classics, DOTT Remastered and Ninja Pizza Girl. My daughter is choosing!
She has requested some Deponia for tomorrow, though.

Doom 2016 on proton. Loving it and plays schweet!

Well I finally got Skyrim to work just now so I may be playing that during my spare time tomorrow.

This link did the trick https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/99i4se/skyrim_on_linux_steam_play_no_voiceno_music_audio/

BUT I made xaudio2_6 Native & Xaudio2_7 Builtin, now I just have to figure out a way to stop it freezing on exit.

Quoting: WorMzyI've been playing Mass Effect using Steam Play. For the most part, it's worked well. There have been a few crashes, but I think that's probably just the game rather than Proton.

Did you have to do anything special to make audio work? When I run Mass Effect using Steam Play, the intro audio works, and then the game is quiet.
