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: MicromegasIt'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.
I have the same "problem" with Stellaris... ;)

Quoting: ageresI still don't understand how it's more convenient than managing only one account. I have many games on Steam and use categories to divide my game library into groups by genre.Is a matter of personal taste about order...
And it helps for to have more Steam "users" gaming on Linux... One real person, but four Linux users for the stats.
Quoting: ageresBTW, Life is Strange is not an indie game, so you probably must remove it from your "indie" account and re-buy again for another one.Life is Strange IS an indie game.....
For budget reasons, Indie games barely have english voices and subtitles in few languages... Because subtitles are cheap to do.
I remember Life is Strange adding cheapest spanish subtitles ONE YEAR after the release of the episode 1, confirming the INDIE nature of the game...
I put LIS in the same account of Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice...
With big games is different: AAA games have voice-over in several languages, because there is a big budget that allow to do that...
I still can not explain why the Witcher 3 has Brazilian voice-over, but not Spanish.
Aparently, the CEO of CDprojekt Red ignore that 20 countries speak spanish.
Quoting: ageresAnd what if a game gets Spanish voice-over after you have bought it?
That NEVER happen...
Anyway... This is getting off topic.
The topic is "what are you playing this weekend" and my answer is "mostly protonic testings".
Quoting: MicromegasIt's thatThat's Rocket League and Angels Fall First for me...
- "Oh, it's 9 pm, let's play some Rimworld ... Moments later: Oh, what, it's 1.30 am, how???" -
kind of game.
Quoting: MicromegasOn Linux - no matter which distribution - you will find several chess engines in your repository.Thanks for the info!

That the Chinchilla keeps running off before I can kill it is really starting to annoy me.

A great little indy shooter which is also on Switch and Xbox One
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoLife is Strange IS an indie game.....Indie = independent = self-funded and self-published. There were no subtitles on launch because Square Enix desided so. Usually indie games try to get as many translations as they can to become more appealing for gamers. Big publishers prefer to spend money on advertizing instead. If I make a game and translate it into Spanish with Google Translate, will it make my game AAA?
