It's nearly the end of January already, feels like the year is going rather quickly! With all the releases we've had lately along with some excellent games last year, what are you clicking on this weekend?
I'm rather sick from a nasty bug going around my Son's school so I shall mostly be moaning, groaning and playing something like Slay the Spire since it's ridiculously good and requires very little actual effort. Bonus points to it for working very nicely on my notebook so I can do it in bed.
I might also be catching up on some more Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, since I've been having a lot of fun with it and the turn-based nature of it means I can take my time. I'm still in a little shock at just how atmospheric and stylish it is, they did a good job.
If you're stuck and looking for something new, Steam has two interesting sales going on right now. Their Aussie Sale 2019 runs until Monday and their Global Game Jam Sale is also on until tomorrow!
There's also the GOG Weekly Sale, there's a few days left on the Humble Double Fine Presents Bundle and the Caffeine bundle both with great games.
What are you playing and what do you think about it?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoCategories are useful when you have a few games, but when you have hundreds, like in my original Steam account, is impossible to find a game.. I don't even remember what games I have there.
Well, you do as you like of course, but i really can't get how it's more convenient to have multiple accounts. On Steam alone, i have hundreds of games, cumulated since 2006 or 2007, and i don't use any groups to sort them.
I just read the list from time to time, it takes a few minutes, and that's done. I install a few at a time, sort by recently played, done.
And that's on Steam only. With the addition of Itch, Humble, GoG, direct from Developers or Editors, CD, DVD... it's certainly more than a thousand.
Quoting: GuestSomehow I got very much into DiRT Rally. Runs very smooth, great port by Feral :) I hope to see Linux version of DiRT Rally 2.0 soon after it gets released, meanwhile I will play it via Proton!
If you want to join our GOL League thats been running pretty much since DiRT Rally launched on Linux:

Also I think I'll play some Sims 4 to test Wine 4.0 and maybe give a shot to Attractio, a native Linux title.

Consider waiting so that Feral will get a cut of the sale?
EDIT: I'm playing BattleBlock: Theater and Overcooked! 2 online co-op with a friend, and Pikuniku solo. All native games.

Quoting: GuestI'm using no screensaver, but when there is no signal coming from the gpu (inactivity timeout), it simply display "no signal" and the green led turns orange.Quoting: kokoko3kGot a new amva monitor (benq gw2470) and i'm really happy to finally see blacks!Eheh, that’s my monitor too and yes, great blacks with much better contrast in dark areas than on my previous TN.
Gonna play everything to just see how it looks.
By now, Soma and everspace win!
The only problem is the trails some colors leave when scrolling, but it’s not too bad.
Edit: oh and the horrible bright blue screen when the screensaver starts… :(
But i've no blue screen at all (maybe you mean the purple one when it starts?)

Quoting: iiariQuestion to all: My kids both play chess, and chess.com seems fine, but is there a great Linux chess program out there somewhere?
On Linux - no matter which distribution - you will find several chess engines in your repository. You need one of those installed and a GUI program to use the engine(s). I like PyChess as my GUI for the Stockfish chess engine, both are probably available in your repository. Stockfish is probably the most powerful chess engine right now.
To resume the subject of this thread: I am addicted to Rimworld (native) right now.
It's that
- "Oh, it's 9 pm, let's play some Rimworld ... Moments later: Oh, what, it's 1.30 am, how???" -
kind of game.
It's fascinating how the game creates stories through the things happening to your colony.
