• Just Cause 3 - It's so absolutely dumb, but with endless creative destruction.

• CS:GO - As long as you disable comms and only play Arms Race and single player Danger Zone, you can avoid the terribleness of its community.

• American and Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Forget about all of the horrible shit happening in the world for a few min and drive a truck around. Way better than it sounds.

• DiRT 4 - Runs amazingly well and is a blast even if you're terrible at racing games like I am. Having a driving wheel really makes this game.

If it's as good as the first one, definitely worth picking up. Spent many, many hours playing Rogue Legacy and is one of the few non-linear games I've played to the end.

Quoting: fagnerlnDiRT4 is SO GOOD... I'm really enjoying it, even on "simulator mode" isn't frustrating as Rally. I loved Dirt 2, but didn't like dirt 3. Dirt 4 is a proper sequel to 2.

I know right, I really don't get the problem people have with DiRT 4, thought it was great fun.

Bought a Logitech G29 because of your driving videos from many months ago and Dirt 4 runs really well on my old GTX 970. Also, American and Eurotruck Simulator 2 are a bizarrely zen experience for anyone who needs a low stress escape right about now.

On a related note, maybe you or Sin stream some Dirt 4? Eh?

Quoting: Linas(Un)fortunately I can work from home. But man am I not productive with all the distractions around. Any productivity tips? :whistle:

I'm in the same boat. Being able to do IT work from home is a blessing and a curse. This article from Ars Technica helped me a bit:
Suddenly working at home? We’ve done it for 22 years—and have advice [External Link]

Also, I have a ton of duplicate Humble keys that I've acquired over the years. As long as people won't resell them, I'd be up for trading or gifting them to fellow GOLers.

Quoting: brokeassbenDamn. I joined too late. It was down to two players by the time I got there.

Don't worry, plenty more where today came from ;)

That's excellent to hear. Not sure how many CS:GO players we've got, but I'd be into getting some games of that together. It'd be a nice break from the about 1/10 awful people that populate the servers.

The signs have been there since last year, but it's still disappointing. I sank MANY hours into playing this game and a brief flurry of skin updates and a ranking system helped keep a player base for about six months, then that abruptly disappeared and the number of users tanked.

Fired it up last night and the performance is massively improved. I'd given up on playing because the FPS were so low and inconsistent...and of course immediately died during my first encounter with a warlord because I'd forgotten how to play since I last launched it.

Just saw that the new kernel (4.18) supports the Steam Controller [External Link] out of the box

Edit: That actually says nothing about the SC addition, so here's the article from OMG! Ubuntu [External Link]

Quoting: Patola... I specially admire when he describes the joy of games I don't like, because it helps me to learn and empathize with him.

Same. I've never been into this type of game, but his excitement for them makes me wish I was. His attitude makes him pretty endearing.
