The weekend chat - what have you been playing?

Played nandgame. It's basically an HTML5 game version of the book The Elements of Computing Systems. Well, of the first 3 or so chapters anyway.
Also switched my applications and WM from a dark to a light theme.

Dead City Breakthrough mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R;
some Duke Nukem 3D wads mods: Borg Nukem, New Encounter;
Hellbound wad for Doom 2 (with GZDoom)

Wildermyth, i played a new 3 chapters campaign and i’ll start a 5 chapters campaign soon with the legacy system.

Necromunda, runs well via Proton Eggrolls, and it’s fun enough to ignore the issue for now, but in mid/long term updates will be needed.

SUPERHOT. It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

A bit of Left for Dead 2 with Sin & gang on stream, but otherwise, I'm still horribly addicted to Dreamgate. I've been laid down with the cold recently, so no VR for me for a while!

Hellpoint. AFAICT the first real 3D souls-like we've had with explicit Linux support, and as such it's my first such souls-like. I'm really loving it, so am super glad this got a native release. 46 hours in I'm still exploring the world, and haven't finished my first run yet!

It's been mostly Red Dead Redemtion II. My daughter persuaded me to get it, and it has been a massive pleasure to play.
The great pity is that we cannot have a multiplayer game as that is sadly broken on linux.

I have also been logging in for a few Wargames in Interstellar Marines - scary robot time :). There are usually a couple of players around to team up with and a nice bunch they all seem to be.

Hope you get over your cold @scaine, VR is no fun is you have to keep blowing your nose.

It was mostly "X4: Foundations" for me, plus a little bit of "The Coma: Recut" (gotta finish mapping all loot, note locations and routes on my custom map :) ).

I've been sucked in Control. The game starts a bit slow but quickly becomes interesting after the first "boss". From a technical aspect it's quite good with the exception of a few random crashes here and there, which mostly occurs on Nvidia.

The game is also sensitive to alt tabbing and tends to crash if switching multiple times, so if you're gonna play it just sit there and enjoy the game, forget multi tasking.

This week has been all on Stadia with a few rounds of games on Fightcade and Parsec with my siblings.

Bomberman Online - Stadia

I like this game so much. So far I've only been to 4th place. It feels like I playing the arcade version from the 90's.

Strange Brigade - Stadia

Been spending a few hours in horde mode with friends. The enemy variation is very fresh and the day light horror setting is a big plus for thos title. I've been very impressed by Rebellion's offering on Stadia. This game has been another great one.

Among US - itch.io

Got this game for free awhile back and my kids got on me to try it. Now their mom, me and few of us old timers are on there playing with everyone. Lots of great fun. The mini games do a great job of preventing bot cheaters.

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike - Fightcade

I have 16 irl friends back on Fightcade. Unless the next update to Tekken 7 fixes the net code, that game is going to be retired, uninstalled and hidden. Been a chore trying to get some good games going properly. But not with fightcade. Every fightcade match is perfect. My main is Ken but now I'm exploring Q.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves - Fightcade
SNK games always feel like home to me. This is one of the greatest fighting games of all time. Did about 6 hours of it on Saturday with my brothers and cousins and restarted some long time fueds. I main Terry and Freeman.
