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!

Bioshock. You won't regret.

She has requested some Deponia for tomorrow, though.
Oh I hope one of my daughters will develop a fine taste like this...!

I'm playing the same things as I've been playing for the last year.
* Rise to Ruins (it just released 31 unstable5c if you do the beta) (steam: 529h)
* Dwarf Fortress (still the July release)
* Battlevoid:Harbinger. (steam: 139h)
* Settlers II (relaxing)
* Turmoil (great if you wait for the dinner to finish cooking) (steam: 79h)
And yes, Liam, you are responsible for three of those habits ;)

Quoting: EhvisSo many Proton games played. I haven't done anything with it apart from a few tests. Native FTW!Sure, native is the best. But after I have seen how many gamers are listing here Proton, it is great, that Wine gaming will count as Linux one for Valve. It will better present market share. Also another big advantage of Proton is the fact that it will allow people, who are not fans of Wine configuring, to play Wine titles without tweaking (Proton is not there yet of course, but some games already "just work". No prefix creation, no winetricks operation, just click and play).
Except that I was playing Jackbox for the entire evening in a birthday stream. :D

Thank you, Kyrottimus, lucifertdark, and ageres. The link (https://github.com/Sirmentio/protontricks) worked.

Played Slay The Spire, which is a highly recommended game - From purchase, 5 months ago, nearly done 200 hours in it.
Braveland - got it free in Humble's Reward give-away - Played for an hour or so. Working good.
Testing out Steam/Proton/WINE with:
The Legend Of Grimrock II - Played about an hour so far, and it is playing great.
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Special Edition - Played for an hour, then modded it with the Unofficial Fixes mod, and played for another 2-3 hours. Playing well, APART from the NPC audio (silent). I think there is some sort of fix. Subtitles ON helps.
SCUM - As it is most likely going to come to Linux, and some people have had success with Proton, and the EA price isn't bad, and the game appeals to me - I decided to buy it. And played for about 3 hours on Proton. When it first started up, playing Single Player, the graphics were painfully slow for me at 4K resolution. I then tried various things, the command-line switches mentioned here and eventually went for cutting the resolution to 1920x1080 and the use all cores command-line, not the sm4 command. At those settings, it is running decently smooth for me. One thing for me doing this, I needed to go into SCUM Settings, select Windowed Mode, and then select Full Screen mode, to get it to fill the screen (while I'm running a 4K Gnome desktop). The game looks very nice, but Early-Access play leaves a fair bit to be desired, particularly hand-to-hand combat versus annoyingly-tough zombies (that RUN). [As a regular player of Rust and 7 Days To Die - I much prefer the game play in those games at this stage.] Also as someone mentioned on the SCUM release thread, due to the recently added EAC anti-cheating tech update, SCUM isn't allowing my Linux/Proton system to game on Multi-Player servers :/ Instant kick.
Monster Slayers - Another Windows game, working perfectly in Proton. Played a couple of hours. It's another Card-type game. Already owned it on Windows (some bundle) so decided to give it a try.
