PUBG in Stadia.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. :D

* X4: Foundations
Still sucks me in and is fun for me. Only drawback IMHO is the micromanagement to get skilled pilots in a decent amount of time - but there is a mod for it :-)
A great game with devs supporting Linux very well IMHO

* ARK
I play this on a private server with my son. A nice game to have fun in a chilled way.

* Of course CS:GO from time to time.

* Observer
Perhaps I find time to play this one - but not sure. I bought it a year ago or so...

Quoting: PatolaMy INDEX ARRIVED! So I got into:
- Half-Life: Alyx. Can't play 15 minutes without extreme dizziness and retching.
- Borderlands 2 VR: Can't play 15 minutes without extreme dizziness and retching.

Haven't played Borderland 2 VR. Some say it's a poor adaption motion wise.

But I faced exactly the same with HL:A.

Which movement style do you use?
I wanted to so hard to use the continuous motion like in classic FPS.
Yet, that killed me. Almost had to puke. In particular with going backwards. (OMG!) *
However, going to teleportation I can now play for more than an hour without issues
and motion sickness.
It's still a bit stressing as I'm wearing glasses that I need and it's not optimal.
Thinking about getting special lenses, but that's a different story.

(*) Btw, I don't own DOOM VFR, but AFAIK it doesn't feature going backward at all.
Some people complained hard in the Steam comments. They souldn't it's for the best. XD

Quoting: KuJoPUBG in Stadia.

Can you play that together with friends on Steam in some way?

No, PUBG on Stadia is Stadia to Stadia with keyboard/mouse or Stadia + Consoles if you're using gamepad.

Continuous. I refuse to waste my hard-earned money with a slideshow, I want to see myself moving, dammit! :) I will adapt, eventually. I hope.

I feel you. Same intentions here.
Being sceptical in the beginning, teleportion doesn't take the fun and immersion away for me at all, I have to say.

The way the game and world in HL:A is specifically crafted for VR, with the extreme slow pacing, makes this possible.

I guess it's different when playing a classical FPS, say HL2, with a VR mode.

This reminds me, I should try HL2's official VR mode. :)

Have fun with your VR kit!

Still playing Dead Cells, which is fast becoming one of my top five games ever!

Proton-wise, I'm playing XCOM: Chimera Squad which seems to suffer from the same bugs as reported in the Windows version. It *could* be good if the devs listen to the feedback.

I've also been experimenting with Aliens: Colonial Marines and managed to get it running in Proton 5.6-GE-2. Using the crack for the binary and the TemplarGFX v6 mod it is now quite playable!

Northgard mostly, although with moving house and allotment work, I haven't had much time for gaming.

streets of rage 4 and world of tanks

Still really liking Fort Triumph, which has rekindled my love of turn-based tactical strategy that I've been missing since XCOM 2. I just get into a groove and the hours fly by.

Also planning to return to Black Mesa this weekend. Such a great game. My reflexes aren't what they used to be, but I love the puzzle elements and the atmosphere.

Finally, been playing a lot of Jackbox Games with family and coworkers on lockdown. Lots of casual group fun. Each game takes less than 20 minutes and people can play along on pretty much any device with a browser. Hosting games via screenshare on Zoom works perfectly under Linux.

With some friends (Linux & Windows) we abandoned L4D2 (after twenty hours of play) for Insurgency and I must say that it is really an excellent tactical FPS, very pleasant to play (mainly in coop on the official servers for the moment), with a rather pleasant community (some undesirable behaviors from time to time but rather little overall) ... almost sixty hours of play in a few weeks and I do not think that I will stop soon (and there is not much else available in terms of tactical FPS under Linux)! ^_^

In my rather limited game time (I have two kids and for some reason, I still have a job), I've installed Star Wars The Old Republic, trying out a few of the classes. It's good fun, and I enjoy the opening stories so far. I'm undecided which class to keep levelling, but the game itself is enjoyable.

Yesterday, Star Wars Jedi: Broken Order came on sale for the PS4, so I will be getting a lot of time in the SW universe in the coming weeks.

I got the Parklife DLC giveaway which sucked me back into Cities Skylines.

I'm also still playing Underlords, as well as Into The Breach (which got some much needed tweaks and a native Linux version).

But a lot of my extra free time has gone into playing with my Pinebook Pro. Amazingly, gaming is not impossible on it.

I've been trying GRID in Stadia, and it's been smooth and without any input lag that I could tell. I didn't expect such a good result to be honest.

Also Street Fighter V using the latest Proton version. I still remember that full page Steam banner about this coming to SteamOS ;-) so it's nice that it can now be played on Linux, even if not native.

I play a lot of dying light lately, haven't launched it in years but it hooked me again with the Easter event. The rest of my gaming time is spent between dead cell (I wasn't interest in the game at launch, but after trying it out I understand all the surrounding hype, it's a fantastic game), Golf with your friend (which is more golf with your girlfriend in my case), and as always insurgency from time to time. Finally, via steam play, I started dishonored.

I'm going to play Planet Zoo and some CS:GO this weekend.

Recently, I've played through in order:

"Black Mesa", a wonderful return to HalfLife and a worthy conclusion with the new Xen level.
"GreedFall", I think this is the most successfull game by "Spiders", so I found it somewhat ironic that I thought it was much less fun to play than both "Mars: War Logs" and "Bound by Blood".
"Resident Evil 2 (remake)", Nice gameplay/puzzles and beautiful, though a little on the short side.
"Resident Evil 7" Great horror game, I think this is the closest I've ever felt to being stuck inside a 70s-80s horror flick (The Hills have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw etc. etc.)
"Fahrenheit: Remastered". I finally got around to finishing this great old gem (again), now if only "Heavy Rain" would be released on steam....

Currently I'm playing through Expeditions: Viking which seems pretty good this far (20 hrs in) and Remember Me, which is much better than I expected, though the combat mechanics took some getting used to.

Kingdom Come Deliverance , ETS2 ,CS GO and Detroit Become Human on Linux.

Quoting: PatolaAh, another Spiders fan! Have you played Technomancer to compare?

Does it run well on Proton? I have not finished Expeditions: Conquistador yet... How do the two compare?

Sorry to say, I haven't played "Technomancer" yet. I've had it on my wishlist forever but first I was hoping for a native linux port and then proton arrived and I almost forgot about it in the flood of new gaming possibilities. I will get around to it in time without question.

As for "Expeditions: Vikng",It runs great with proton but you must switch to "Proton-5.6-GE-2" for everything to work properly. The combat and camping mechanics are very similar. but there is also much more focus on resource gathering and building up strength & prosperity in your danish "home base".

For the majority I've been playing The Bard's Tale IV. It's plenty fun, but plagued by technical issues.

Yesterday I went back to F1 2017 for another race, but still a couple more to go before I can complete the season.

Also started playing Counterfeit Monkey, a text adventure with quite interesting puzzles.
