It's nearly the end of January already, feels like the year is going rather quickly! With all the releases we've had lately along with some excellent games last year, what are you clicking on this weekend?
I'm rather sick from a nasty bug going around my Son's school so I shall mostly be moaning, groaning and playing something like Slay the Spire since it's ridiculously good and requires very little actual effort. Bonus points to it for working very nicely on my notebook so I can do it in bed.
I might also be catching up on some more Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, since I've been having a lot of fun with it and the turn-based nature of it means I can take my time. I'm still in a little shock at just how atmospheric and stylish it is, they did a good job.
If you're stuck and looking for something new, Steam has two interesting sales going on right now. Their Aussie Sale 2019 runs until Monday and their Global Game Jam Sale is also on until tomorrow!
There's also the GOG Weekly Sale, there's a few days left on the Humble Double Fine Presents Bundle and the Caffeine bundle both with great games.
What are you playing and what do you think about it?

Quoting: sergioandvarDoki Doki Literature Club! I think it's a great visual novel and not very long. It plays great on Proton, just click n' play!Why use Proton for a game that has a "native" Linux version packaged along with the Windows download (assuming you got it from itch.io)? It's written in Python, so it's actually platform agnostic, and you can easily launch it using the "ddlc.sh" file in the game's folder.
I'm currently playing Hero-U. I got it while it was on sale on GoG at some point, and although I must say that I'm torn. I like the story and the characters, but the fixed schedule on most of the game days feels a bit like, well, going to school. Also, I guess I'm about 15 years older than the game's target audience. Physical age, that is. I still refuse my mental age to progress beyond 10.

Plus I have to feed my three new Steam Accounts:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/CAS-BiGSUBiS-ProtonicEdition
https://steamcommunity.com/id/CAS-IndieS-ProtonicEdition
https://steamcommunity.com/id/CaS-BiGIS-ProtonicEdition
- Rocket League (Native)
- Allspace (Native)
- Hypergate (Native)
- Angels Fall First (Proton)
- Clone Drone in the Danger Zone (Proton)
Also, shout out to whoever was using GCompris. My kids (1st and 3rd grade) can still always find something there they love.
Question to all: My kids both play chess, and chess.com seems fine, but is there a great Linux chess program out there somewhere?

I really like it, though at normal difficulty it's still a tad too easy. The second game's environments are a lot more detailed (and more Deus Ex-like), though, and that's a big plus.
