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

By - | Views: 19,554

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

Got myself the Metro Redux Bundle on Steam and played some 20 hours of the Metro 2033, have yet to complete it.
Also got "Hook", a little puzzle game on Steam and played that for a while.
Of course my own game also kept me busy, but not from playing it :P

Quoting: BOYSSSSSIs 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?

I haven't used valgrind in a while but all I think you need is the binary:

valgrind --log-file=valgrind.output --leak-check=yes --tool=memcheck <Your Binary Here>

You can name the log file whatever you want as well.

To get myself on the topic: I've been achievement hunting, but I've been playing Kopantino All-Stars Soccer the most. This game actually got me interested in continuing my sports related project. It will probably never get done, but at least I can say I keep trying, eh?

I was trying out 7 days to die multiplayer this weekend. Planning on getting Stellaris next week & downloading the MOO alpha on Linux if my download limit allows..

100% Stellaris since it dropped. More than once I found myself wondering why I felt a little "off" while playing, only to realize it was almost 4 in the morning and I'd been playing for 6+ hours without realizing it (i hope my boss forgives me). It's not a perfect game, but it really hits all of my buttons. I'm completely its victim. And, yes, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it expansion, DLC, etc-wise.

Quoting: wojtek88I always enjoy mrdeathjr videos, no reason to remove them from my point of view.
Links should suffice. And even those should be limited to native Linux games unless the thread is about wine or emulation. Just my opinion of course.

Not much time to play this week, but I did catch up in the end buying on-sale (and completing) Firewatch :)
Also a few tries at No thing level 7.

Quoting: tuubiLinks should enough.

Just my opinion of course.

Relax point cleared with liamdawe and put 2 videos as limit for users bandwith reason

Respect for other videos i leave links, good idea
