The weekend is almost over and a nice week full of news is about to begin. Before it does, let's get talking! What have you been playing?
Brigador: Up-Armored Edition has been sucking up a lot of my time recently, thanks to a new update coming out with a bit of new content. I have so much love for the destruction in this game it's unreal! This is where I have honestly spent most of my time, stomping on everything and identifying explosive areas to set off fun chain-reactions from a shot or two and just watching everything go to hell. Love the customization too, plenty to unlock from vehicles to pilot to ridiculously powerful weapons.
Since Abandon Ship got a Linux beta recently, I've also been putting some time into that while chatting to the developer to help ensure a smooth release later this month.
I also helped the developer of Elteria Adventures identify a bug preventing the upcoming Linux version from launching, so that was fun too.

I bought, installed and finished Wolfenstein: The New Order, bought it as a double-pack with The Old Blood for a reasonable price. Great game, beautiful graphics and fun story (if ridiculous).
Otherwise, 7 Days to Die on the GOL server/stream with Sin, Ehvis, Himselfe and Jolltz, and lots and lots of DOTA Underlords. The latter is much more streamlined with the recent alliance changes and free re-rolls when you lose. Feels a touch fairer/balanced.

Nothing much. I've been hoping to sneak in some Borderlands 2, but I've not had time. :(
I started a new colony on ONI on Friday, but haven't had chance to get back to that either.
Next weekend I'll be down in a field in Derby, so I'll not be getting any gaming done for a while.

I've actually been playing The Witcher 3! I finally have a computer that's able to handle it. I'm so pleased it runs so darned well in Steam Play. I'd never tell it wasn't a native game if I didn't know. ?

So almost exclusively X-Plane 11, which is really a remarkable title. I use flight sims to get over some flight anxiety (hey, if I can plot a route in heavy fog and storms and land the plane with GPS/ILS assist, I assume the pros can, right? RIGHT?!?). Needless to say, I have some upcoming trips. It's a remarkable title, and the community mods (scenery, ATC, even a script that grades your landing quality) are amazing. Has anyone ever tried this in Proton? I wonder if it runs as well and, if so, that opens open certain exclusive Windows mods...
Aside from that, been on two day 1 native linux releases, Space Mercs and Defend the keep, both quite fun and terrific additions.

A lot of Thief recently. Just finished Thief 2014 on my PS4 and started Thief 3 a few days ago with Wine. I love the open city setup with stealth games, it just works perfectly. And also playing around with The Dark Mod a little.

Picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider for about $10 CAD. So far loving it. I find the graphics and gameplay great for 4 year old game.

Just finished Prey (2017). Pretty solid game, and it runs great on Proton :)

Quoting: buckysrevengeI played some Doom (using GZDoom) and A Short Hike - great light hearted game!That's a coincidence. I haven't been playing much recently (I keep firing up Steam in the background - becuase it takes ages to load - then getting distracted and never actually starting any games), but I did feel like a bit of Doom earlier in the week. For some reason, GZDoom isn't working for me right now, so I tried Doomsday. Wow. That thing has a nice frontend. Not so keen on the graphical “improvements” (although they can be tweaked out), but it feels like a professional product. Very impressive.

I'm barely able to play this weekend, with job and side project piling up to do. Right now I'm hoping to learn how to play Crusader Kings II properly since I've bought all DLC from Humble.
I thought I already got the basic down, but after watching tutorial in YouTube (the part one from 22 videos), I just realize I don't even know how to read and use map properly

Batman Arkham Asylum on my Windows 7 machine with a second card for physx...
I wonder if someday that feature will be possible on Linux.

Quoting: PatolaCity Car Driving - tuning it to work correctly under proton, sent a solution to the language problem to github and protondb. Works great, bought it to my wife too, it works with force feedback both on the G29 (mine) and G27 (hers).Thanks for your English language fix - I was able to get City Car Driving working on my rig too!
Also played a bit of native Rocket League with Liam's earlier posted fix and Fallout 4 with sound tweaks for Steam Proton.
