Wow, it's a 670MB download: as big as a complete OS!

I played a lot of Sundered this week and I only have to do the last boss battle. I have mixed feeling about this game, is a bit repetitive.

Started playing The Way [External Link] which is a mix between the old Impossible Mission (oh, kids memories!) and Another World. Sometimes frustrating but not irritating.

As usual I tested (and will tomorrow) some games under Proton: to my surprise Middle-Heart: Shadow of Mordor finally works under Proton 4.11-2! And it works very well, better than the native port using Mesa!

I assembled a new PC (based on a Ryzen 2600 and a RX580), so it was time to test some heavy games!

I'm trying to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but it crashes randomly or causes GPU hangs, so it's hard to continue, it's a pity it doesn't (still) work under Proton.

Then I tried Conarium: the native Linux game refused to start complaining about problems with OpenGL shader cache. Guess what? It worked like a charm under Proton... I moved to Slay The Spire and is very good.

Then I went through my backlog, testing games with Proton 4.11. Hard Reset Redux refused to start, same for Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter and for Darksiders Warmaster Edition. ENSLAVED:Odissey to the West finally works like a native game, with high FPS even without D9VK (it had previously some graphics glitches that made it unplayable).

Finally a surprise: the game Masquerada: Songs And Shadows works like a native game under Proton and seems one that is very good. Has very beautiful graphics and music, played a little bit and liked a lot the combat system: it's like an hack'n'slash but with active pause. For what I saw, the story is also interesting.

And finally I read some books: "The City & the City" from China Miéville and an essay from Guido Tonelli entitled "Genesi" (italian for Genesis) which talks about what are the most recent discovers made by physics about the origin of the world (despite being an informative essay, it's hard to follow).

That was my weekend and tomorrow is Monday, damn! :D

I'll play Outward (using Proton): after 12 hours of gameplay, I still can decide if I like it or not. Game mechanics are different from any other game I played.

This is my 2019's most anticipated game!

My 2 cents: if you can't access the source code, the hardware schematics or can't participate in decision about the software or hardware, it is a closed proprietary thing... Vulkan + Linux, sure, but...

I started playing Fallout 4, but Dogmeat remembered me too much my beloved dog who passed away that I had to stop: seeing someone harming him makes me mad. It's very strange, never felt this feeling because of a videogame.

As an alternative I want to play Outward, hoping that there aren't pets.

Please Note:
Fallout 4 works well out of the box using Proton only if you use a gamepad, otherwise you'll have problems with mouse spinning or jumping

I'm a bit disappointed: I espected a bigger FPS increment from The Surge, the game stays over 30 FPS a little bit more, but that's all...
