What are you clicking on this weekend and what do you think about it?

Good morning, it's question time here again on GamingOnLinux as we enter another weekend. Wipe that sleep from your eyes, grab a drink and come chat.

This weekend I have a tasty menu waiting, including some glorious flailing about in Rocket League (40% off on Humble). Even though 99% of my games are mostly me chasing the ball, watching it enter my goal from afar I still find it completely addictive. I'm slowly starting to learn how to do those slick rocket jumps (I even saved a goal by doing one—go me), but they're certainly not easy to be able to pull off.

I will no doubt be pulled into playing some more awesome co-op games with my son, he's recently taken quite a liking to Wizard of Legend which is surprising as it's not exactly an easy game for a younger audience. I think the fact that he can run around with me, as a Wizard and customise what spells he has (as well as using all my damn diamonds buying more) is a big selling point.

I was seriously hoping to finally be able to play the backer beta of Crazy Justice, but sadly Black Riddles Studio's communication has been repeatedly quite poor. The Linux version was supposed to be patched over a week ago which didn't happen, then again it was going to be patched "in the next two days" which also came and went without a word. Sadly, Crazy Justice so far has been a major disappointment.

I will also be testing more of censored which is coming to Linux. Jokes aside, there are a number of games I'm testing that I can't talk about right now, but we're in for a fun year.

So what are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it? Grab a chair, get comfy and let us know.

I will also no doubt be chasing my Rabbit around, telling him off for chewing everything possible.

Scan haven't replaced my faulty RAM yet so I will stick to the Swith and, playing for first time, Star Wars: Dark Forces in the laptop.

Still playing a bunch of oldschool (WotLK) WoW on a private server via Wine, plus a bit of Avernum 4 via Proton on the side. Starting to get the itch to take another run at Pillars of Eternity though, so I may switch over once I get it re-installed.

Quoting: HmeGrabbed a copy of DOOM (2016) for 7€, thinking I would test this whole proton thing not expecting much...
IT RUNS SO SMOOTH!

It's amazing. Doom is the most demanding game I own and it runs pretty much flawlessly with Proton (and with regular Wine, as well). My only gripe is I can't get it to work with my Steam Link, which it does in Windows.

This weekend I'm playing Cities: Skylines. I've been contemplating buying it for a long time and now a sale came on, was an insta-buy.

I just stupidly did rm * on the root partition while trying to migrate to a new M.2 ssd. I stopped it within 2 seconds of having issued the command but already 8GB had been deleted, including everything in /bin and /usr/bin... :D

Luckily my last automatic backup was only 10 hours old, so I'm already back up and running with no data loss.

Where did you find it at that price?

I play DooM 2016.
Runs smoothly as hell (pun intended).
The problem is that I've got issues with my 1000Hz mouse, sometimes it seems to block slightly, mostly when I look up or down. It's been reported on the Proton bug tracker, still no workaround. I tried the last Proton beta but it limits my screen resolution.

It's still playable nevertheless.

It's quite cheap on the humble store right now.

Sadly, I won't play much over the weekend, and I still have a huge backlog. So, tempted as I am, I think I'll refrain from buying more stuff. But after this, I intend to check every game in my library for compatibility with proton ;)
Quoting: EikeBack to games... Still playing 7 Billion Humans. I solved the two middle optimization tiers, but I'm still stuck at one optimization goal of the easiest tier. And the hardest puzzles are not too easy without optimization goals in the first place...
Many of those are quite hard! I find it interesting that in the "small" vs "fast" optimizations, my "small" solutions often feel more hackish compared to the "fast" ones. It might just be me, though.

The game is great, though. I am at year 59 and 60 (middle of the last red zone), having optimized up to there...

It does help a lot since TW2 basically starts right after the events of TW1. Quite a different game though. I still enjoyed it a lot when I played it.
