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.

I've finished A plague tale, technically & artistically it's astonishing.Loved it from start to finish.

Tried Wonder Boy, the controls killed my fun and patience, one hour and it was uninstalled. Too bad, art is nice.

Finally, I've settled with Katamari Damacy rerolled, it's weird but it's fun and the soundtrack is unique.

Next, Dishonored 2 since I loved the first one.

Some Xonotic and CTF Minetest. I need to scratch that flag capture itch.

Remember Me
an excellent concept set in a beautiful world built in an engine that only just manages to keep up. A horrible camera and trying-way-too-hard combat system *almost* get in the way of the story, which is superb. Very worth your time if you can find it on sale
Tried Mirror's Edge and repeatedly failed the tutorial (which did not surprise me at all. I'm horrible at platformers and not great at 1st person, and Edge is literally 100% fist person platforming)
Caught RUINER on Humble, which is a decent enough game with one of the best soundtracks ever. I've been listening to the artist -Sidewalks and Skeletons - almost non-stop for days.
Next up is Arkham City and Quantum Break

I also just bought A Plague Tale based on member recommendation

Ooooh, I have been very tempted by that one. It looks amazing and I'm a total sucker for Bill Blake.
Ok, damnit. Sold.

Apart from L4D2 with Sin, it's still been a lot of Factorio. Megabase still not done, but it is growing! And the biter attacks are relentless.

Crusader Kings III. Managed to unite Norway to one kingdom with the first ruler, then his son ruled it from the shadows, and married away an unimportant daughter to the indian Maharaja. Unfortunately, all my kids died, and my only living heir was the indian son of that unimportant daughter, resulting in the entire kingdom of Norway becoming part of India...

And of course, became the most revived player in Left 4 Dead 2

I've been playing a lot of F1-2018, lately. I was a big fan of the Grand Prix series games in the early 2000's and just rediscovered the pleasure of playing F1 games, when I got it for free, couple of weeks ago.

Also, on last week "What have you been playing" thread, there was a discussion about Deus Ex games, and it made me want to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution which I did.. And I will probably start a new run of DE:MD too...

While I was approaching the end of Undead Horde, I was thinking "it would be nice if this game had a "New Game Plus" mode).

Turns out, it has... So I have been playing another playthrough on Era 2, and now I am in the middle of the Era 3 (it seems there are 5 eras... I guess there is only one way to find out )

Apart from that, it seems I ruined the boot section of my laptop, trying to install EndeavourOS. I get a strange Grub command line... The good news is, when typing exit, Windows proceeds to boot normally, so at least it is still usable.
