Quoting: soulsourceI didn't play games this weekend.
On Friday I discovered how awesome Intel ISCP can be, so I kept working through the weekend. I just couldn't stop, simply because for some of our code just porting it from C++ improved performance by a factor of 15 (on Intel Skylake - on AMD Jaguar the improvement is more like a factor of 7, but still impressive....), and I didn't want that endorphin rush to stop.

If you're wondering the save as me:

Whoa, sorry. I can't seem to type the abbreviation without mixing up letters. I'll edit my orignal post.

I wouldn't have known "ISPC" either... :D

Quoting: NeurosaurThanks a lot for the review! I've decided to leave the demo on Steam after the festival, so there's no time restrictions =).

Thanks, I'll give it a try then!
(Makes me wonder why others wouldn't leave their demos up as well.)
The style is special, I'm unsure about it from the pictures...

Quoting: xaviI started/ended Minit.

It is a pity because I just searched one thing on the internet.
It was not a big spoiler, just at what screen should I find that clue.
But I could have solved everything without external sources.

I know and hate the feeling.

Quoting: randylMy personal opinion is that PoE really drags in the third act. When I see a lot of praise for it I always wonder if they actually finished the game or even tried to get through the third act.

Played through the whole game and enjoyed it.

• Port Valley
  Somewhat charming old fashioned adventure game. I got pretty stuck in it, so let's see if I have time to finish the demo on time
  

I expect that I can keep the demos running when I go to offline mode.

The "original" demo of Port Valley was very good IMHO. The developer will put it back after the festival, so you could also (stay online and) try this one later on. It's even a bit more old fashioned though, AFAIR.

• Growbot
  Cute point and click adventure with bit more original backstory, demo is just so short that it's hard to say if it's good or not.
  
• Mutropolis
  Interesting background story about future archaeologists. Characters could have been more intriguing if they had voice acting
  

I had missed these, so thanks for pointing out!

Quoting: omicron-bFinally finishing Pillars of Eternity. Switched to "Easy", this is clearly not my genre.

With the release of OpenMW 0.46, started my second playthrough of TES III: Morrowind with just about 7 mods. It looks gorgeous!

Isn't Morrowind way harder than PoE? :)

Just googled for '"neon noodles" link' - and ended up here. :D

Demos mostly. :D

* ASYLUM Demo
Just touched shortly, I fear not being able to move freely is not my thing anymore. :-(
* Slender Threads Demo
Nice light horror, put on wish list
* Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask
Dark horror, lots of myterious talking, little actual game in the demo. So disturbing that I had to fetch a blanket. Supported it on Kickstarter (third backing ever). It gave me some Last Crown vibes - anybody can relate to this?
* The Last Cube Demo
(At first I was confounding this one with Parabox - too many games this weekend. :) )
Nice look and feel, unsure about the puzzling. Following the game.
* DRAG Demo
Nice one but I'm just too bad at racing.
* art of rally Demo
Nope.
* Nine Noir Lives Demo
Need to play more of it, not too much into this cat thing ATM.
* Patrick's Parabox Demo
Well, when the recursive boxes came, I was captivated. Put on follow list.
* Whateverland: Prologue
Did not really get into it, will take a look later.
* The Long Gate Demo
Nice presentation, but found it a bit too fiddly to try my solutions. And in the end... OR, NOT and AND...? Hm.
* The House of Da Vinci
My go to game at the moment (yes, fell for Proton whitelisted)

Kickstarter upodate says:

We are also glad to announce that in a few days a DRM-free version of the prologue will be available on itch.io. We will post a new update when this happens.
