What are you playing this weekend?

Quoting: subThe only complaint I have is that it seems to melt my notebook.
It's getting *extremely* hot for the very simplistic presentation.
It literally hurts my legs while playing for 2 minutes - so I have to put it somewhere else.
This affects all Zachtronics games so far that I played (not including Opus Magnum and the newest one which I both don't have *yet*).

It's Unity based, right?
Didn't observe anything like this with my Zachtronics. Maybe libstrangle would help you?

Quoting: ChronariusIf you select Linux only, then you only see games in the store, which are supporting Linux already. But what about non-Linux games now? I want them to count for Linux as well, if I add them. But how should I do that if I can't see them anymore? Maybe searching and adding them might still work.
It does.

A Gummy's Life is another brilliant local and online multiplayer game for Linux

If you didn't try already, Octodad looks interesting as well!

7 Billion Humans from Tomorrow Corporation is now out and it's fantastic

Quoting: EhvisGot the game. I'll run through HRM first though and then hope the new one is a little more complicated.
It is, but for me, doing all optional tasks including the optimizations (primes :S: ) in HRM was complicated enough. At the moment, I didn't even got all optimizations for the easiest tier in 7 Billion Humans.

Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port

Quoting: BrisseDon't quote me on this, but I believe I've read on Feral's Twitter that if you buy a game that was announced but not released by Feral, and you do it from a Linux-machine, they still get their cut, as long as you avoid playing it on a Windows-machine within the first two weeks.
I remember the same! That would make one interesting question...

Quoting: LeopardSince i didn't see any smiley , emoji after your first sentence-quote i'm in an urge to say this:

He is the dev of DXVK.
Thanks! I was asking because I didn't know! :)

Quoting: YoRHa-2BThis game has one of the most inefficient renderers I've seen in my life. It's deferred, and for its lighting pass it renders spheres with hundreds of polygons, which results in lots and lots of triangles that only cover one or two pixels. Goodbye performance.
What are you doing with games? Debugging them just for fun or professional?

Quoting: YoRHa-2BAnd it doesn't stop there. While the game itself uses D3D11, when starting the game, it actually initializes and renders one black frame using D3D9 (!). Just to instantly destroy the D3D9 device again and switch over to 11. For absolutely no goddamn reason. This is even more stupid than some Japanese games I had to deal with.
Sounds like some leftover demo lines copied from MSDN. ;)

Quoting: no_information_hereI am generally very patient and wait for sales. However, this was a day-1 purchase from me. Tomorrow Corporation has only ever made brilliant games. This one is no different!

I played up to level 26 is one sitting. I missed some very tricky "optional challenges," though!
I did all optimizations in Human Resource Machine, but I'm not sure I can do here... :S:
