Sunday chat: what games have kept you busy with week?

By - | Views: 19,576

It's Sunday and a rare occasion of it not raining where I am so I am away for most of the day (I also really should make Sunday mostly a day off so I don't burn-out). So, what have you been playing this week?

I am still hooked on Stellaris myself and my time played is reaching silly levels already. On my second play through now as my first ended in my destruction.

I declared war on someone who was being a nuisance, but it turned out their fleet was far bigger than mine. We decided to call a truce, but then my closest neighbour decided I was too aggressive so they declared war on me and made short work of my tiny ships.

Anyone else already excited for expansions to it? I sure am. I would like to see more random events and more neutral aliens floating around to discover.

After last night I am keen to play some more OpenRA, as the tournament we did was great fun. Open source game engines always surprise me and it has been years since I tried it. Everything went smoothly and I lost of course.

I will leave you with a bit of wisdom from Linux & Mac game porter Ethan Lee:

If you're on Linux/OSX and a program seems buggy, run it through Valgrind. Be reminded that you allowed that program to run on your computer

Stellaris. 35 hours. Created sentient dominatrix bots to rule my empire and all is well.

Tomb Raider, had to complete Saints Row The Third before. SR2 still on my list.

I just bought Duskers since it's out of Early Access in a few days anyway. It's great fun! If you like retro sci-fi and using the console (all real Linux users do! :p), you should pick it up.

Not really interested in Stellaris, it doesn't look that great to me, but I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

I spend hundreds of hours only on The Binding of Isaac:Afterbirth. Finally, I finished successfully every run with all the characters, even with "The Lost" (two hits die character). :D

I dreamt about Stellaris tonight. So I guess that settles the question :D

Is there a tutorial on how to use Valgrind to debug games or applications for newbies, or is Valgrind used only when you have the source code?

EDIT:
Have been searching for tool to help game and driver developers debug, any tips are welcome.

I started "Alien: Isolation" last night. I've never played a game with such awesome graphics before. I am playing it on the big screen (home cinema) and it's such a great experience. Now i am waiting eager for the dusk so its dark enough that I can continue playing...
