What have you been playing and what do you think?

By - | Views: 58,255

Since the weekends are generally our quiet time, as I take them to spend a little time with family I'm asking a question: What have you been playing and what do you think?

I've been spending more time than I was expecting in Rust. It's strange really, as it's a game I previously didn't get along with at all and now I'm quite hooked on it.

Not everyone will agree with me on this, but I actually think Rust is one of the nicest looking games on Linux. Sure, there's a good bunch that are better, but there's been many moments in Rust where I have to completely stop and just take in the view. That's in-between all the moments of absolute panic when someone fires shots at me and I have no idea where they are.

I want to share this image I took recently too, from a little meet up we did on our server:

We ended up having some sort of in-game concert and it was rather amusing. What makes it even more interesting, is that community member woox2k managed to hook up some scripts (available on GitHub) to play custom music files in game with the guitars and it was incredible.

If you want to join us on our Rust server, details of our game servers are here.

Anyway, less of my ramblings, over to you! Tell us what you've been playing in the comments.

Quoting: deadlinux...as well as the newest DOOM, but it's pc only thus far
A PC is what you run Linux, Unix, Windows or any other kind of OS on. :P

As for games, well, mostly sticking to console lately. Got in a bit of a bind and need to sell some console games. Planning my last "so-bad-its-good" playthrough of Star Fox Adventures with my roomies. ^_^ Also played some of the Challenge Levels of Pikmin 2 for the first time, not sure I'm having fun with being timed... :/ Tried to remember how to get the All-Night Mask in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, but I think I fucked it up already.

Also a bit of Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup recently. Been trying to work with Ru as a god so far, but haven't really settled on what race/class to be with it yet.

I have been playing War THunder. 3 hours every day, sadly it is on opengl and it runs about 30-40 fps minus than on Windows but even like that, i enjoy it. I hope Vulkan get to it really soon.

I've been using Wine with Diablo 3. I really don't know why they don't make a native version of this game. It's sad, really.

Started playing Hollow Knight, and although I kinda suck at it, it's loads of fun! The visuals are very detailed and nice, the art style is creative. It reminds me of Ori and the Blind Forest, but different.

Quoting: Shmerl
Quoting: gojulTried TW3 and still does not work for me. Will try later.

Feel free to describe what's not working in TW3 thread. It should work now both for Mesa and Nvidia blob.

First of all, I use wine-development and not wine staging, latest version of course, 2.18 at the time of writing.

Now here's the output I get when running TW3 :

Even after completely resetting Wine the same happens.

My system :
Debian 9 (Stretch) AMD64 w/ latest updates, 9.2 at the time of writing.
Intel Core i7 4790
32 GB RAM
GeForce GTX 1070 w/ 375.82 blob.
