What are you playing this weekend?
28 Jul 2018 at 10:35 am UTC

This weekend I'm playing bicycle, evening bbq with friends, with a nightly DLC containing some beers/rums/whatever will be available :)
As a bonus, I will play Transistor on Sunday evening - just bought it dirt cheap on Steam yesterday (hope there will be time)...
...as a mega bonus, I will also play a boss level of MS Team Foundation Services stuff (need to finish some work stuff before Sunday night :) )

What are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it?

- Warhammer40K: Gladius - Relics of War: Very nice game, I'm a bit surprised and astonished at the same time, that I really do not miss the diplomacy in the Civ-type 4X game :)
- X Rebirth: Gave it a try after some years, and - again - I'm very surprised that it is not AS bad as I remember it. It is not X3, but some of game's features are awesome... Looking forward to X4! (and also to StarCitizen, if/when released on Linux... although I estimate that could happen some time e.g. early 2026, so, X4 for now :) )
(No time for Stellaris this weekend :( ...shame on me :) )

We’ve teamed up with GOG for the Ubuntu 18.04 release, we have some keys to give away

Although I'm not insisting on DRM free (because I believe that >every< publisher publishing Linux games deserve to feed their families :)), I love DRM free games! (too)

Reminder: Update your PC info for the next round of statistics updates

Quoting: FeistThere's also the fact that the info is for the "main gaming computer" and I have 4 computers, one that is very old and 3 more modern that I occasionally use for gaming depending on whether I'm at home or away and also dependent on what time of year it is. (during the warmer part of the year, may-sept, I hardly use my "main computer" at all, instead I use either a laptop or a desktop that is in a room below ground level, for coolness sake)
I also have 2 "mainly used" devices (Intel-based laptop and AMD-based powerful desktop). I use both. Which one am I going to prefer this time for statistics...? :)

Quoting: elbuglione1/2 Million active Linux users only on Steam.. .how many active users are enough to consider Linux a viable market???
FYI: 0.41% from approx 280M Steam total users is more that 1/2M active Linux accounts ;)
(it is somewhere around 1.1M to 1.2M to be more specific).

THQ Nordic now own Koch Media GmbH
14 Feb 2018 at 9:22 pm UTC

To add a little bit of a possible/assumed context within current spacetime continuum:

THQ Nordic has bought Koch Media/Deep Silver, where Deep Silver is currently acting as a publisher of Warhorse Studios, who have released the Kingdom Come: Deliverance [External Link] game just about 24hrs ago (Feb 13th)...

The release is - so far - reported to be quite a huge success (for the current SteamDB numbers: please note the game covers more platforms that just Steam; it also covers PS4 and XB1).

So, is this just a coincidence?

Edit: Adding game release date for later reference.

For a DLC, this is too expensive :(
(whole games can be bought for this price...)

FPS 'Interstellar Marines' is still alive and updated, finally fixes their Wargames mode timer on Linux

Phew... Just spent several hours in IM, and have to say it is better than it used to be :) (have not played it for around 1,5 years or so...)
Will definitely return!

Hi guys,

I have a spare copy of IM (for around 2 years now!) in my Steam inventory.
Since I do not have anything better to do with it, I will give it away as a Steam gift to the first person who raises a hand here ;)
