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.

Cs:go remains my go to game , usually just casual matches in battle royal mode. Hope they add a third map to the rotation.
Cool to see all the other stuff posted though, including the majestic carrot.

Fortresscraft Evolved is still eating away at my CPU. I feel like it's too addictive, I need to step back for a month or so. But I need to automate that last part to be able to process all free resources.
Dominatrix simulator is too hard on my thinkpad T430 with R9-270 as expresscard eGPU to submit to. I had to use the save word.

As Space Mercs was just released, I gave that a shot. Pretty different to Everspace, especially the steering. But cool to read that a significant amount of Linux gamers bought it.
Clicking might then not be the right expression, but I was trying to further improve my stamina and aiming skills in Beat Saber. Gosh, this game is so good. I still need to adapt to the Index controllers (fka knuckles) though. I get many bad cuts atm, especially on the higher difficulties. Another excuse is, that I'm old already :D

Ultima Underworld 2. I started a game of UU1 before I remembered how much better UU2 is. Also started another run of Wizardry VI (to be carried on through to 8), which gives me all the feels.

Still Fallout 4 here. This game is just so MASSIVE. The amount of content really boggles my mind.
An interesting thing I've noticed is that now, after 160 hours played, I've started appreciating the parts that I ignored earlier, namely the camp/workshop management bits.
A fantastic game.

As in the recent days, I spent a few hours in 7 Days 2 Die.
The game is really relaxing when you're in party with others.

Quoting: iiariBattleye does not work when using Proton, but you can still play on servers that don't use it. Like this one https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3/3663866 . There are also some other servers where there are people most of the time. I know about one that has Antistasi mission always on and most of the time there are people (sometimes even around 20 players).Quoting: emp64Arma 3 through ProtonSo what can you do on this one at this point? Doesn't anticheat prevent MP?

CS:GO as usual, but also played through The Forest (w/Proton) in one sitting with a friend.

Bought and launched Mad Max so I'll guess that I'll be stuck with my computer for 100-200hours. Don't know how my employer will react though...

My R9 Fury keeps hanging on various games:
So I set out to compile my own mesa-git and llvm-git. As compilation with 16 threads is quite intensive on my CPU, I couldn't play realtime games where timing is important. That's why I mostly played FTL: Faster Than Light, and Crypt of the Necrodancer with bard. It was actually my first time with the latter game. I'm hooked!
I'm starting to suspect a hardware failure on my GPU, would someone with the same be willing to try and reproduce some of my hangs?
I hate it, as the system doesn't recover in case of such hangs, and I have no logs to share.

- Risk of rain 2 (the scorched acres stage will trigger this)
- No man's sky (at some point, if I follow the main storyline, it hangs)
- Ryze, son of rome
- Verdun hung the GPU once
- Mad Max: Changing the graphics settings to high hung the GPU two days ago, which it didn't use to

Quoting: iiariQuoting: coryrj19951And also playing around with The Dark Mod a little.What do you think of the Dark Mod so far?
It's impressive really, especially for what was originally a Doom 3 mod. It captures the looks and feel of Thief perfectly while also doing it's own things. I've only gotten through the first level that comes included but I hear there are some really good user made levels that I want to try out.

Quoting: F.UltraBought and launched Mad Max so I'll guess that I'll be stuck with my computer for 100-200hours. Don't know how my employer will react though...Took me less than 90 to get all but one of the achievements, and I wasn't exactly speedrunning. But I guess 90 hours is plenty.

Quoting: F.UltraBought and launched Mad Max so I'll guess that I'll be stuck with my computer for 100-200hours. Don't know how my employer will react though...Make sure it's using Vulkan. I haven't played it in a while, so I don't know if you still need to use a beta version, but it's well worth it. It improved my experience from “playable, but a bit rough in places” to a solid 60+fps with maxed-out settings.

Slay the Spire kept me awake way past 1am on both nights, and I am still not sure if it is very addictive or frustrating. Or both...

I think one still requires the beta branch to go Vulkan (the option is not in the launcher which AFAIK it is in the vulkan build) so I've only tested it with OpenGL so far but it flies on my Ryzen+RX480 at max settings so I haven't yet found it necessary to test the beta branch.

I have a tendency in games like this to spend 10+ hours on infiltrating some outpost just to realise that I probably need to level up first :)

Quoting: F.UltraMy personal compulsion is to comb through every nook and cranny and avoid anything that looks like it might advance the story until there's absolutely nothing else to do. I guess I have an irrational fear of accidentally missing out on some optional bit of content.Quoting: tuubiQuoting: F.UltraBought and launched Mad Max so I'll guess that I'll be stuck with my computer for 100-200hours.

DoomR... Jupiter Hell that is!
Played one of the free weekends a month ago, but the voice over added for the early access launch made all the difference in terms of sound immersion.
Knowing what the dev did with its precursor, it will surely be one game I'll go back again and again.
