CrayonRosary,

You need to make a bulleted list because your lists came out as jumbled paragraphs. At a minimum you need to put two spaces at the end of each line to preserve line breaks.

I’ll fix it since you put in all the effort to write that up.

JPAKx4,

Had no idea, thanks

verity_kindle,

Bro, kind and generous.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I reached Challenger on Teamfight Tactics in a couple seasons and I’ve gotta say it honestly gets a bit tiresome how often they change the game. Mortdog and Co do a great job on balance but you just can’t swap from set to set that often and expect things not to break. Plus they like to nerf the things I like the most, and that’s inexcusable.

I also didn’t really care for it as mobile game because you can’t hop in and out, you start a match you need to finish the match and they’re not short. Even the “quick” mode is like fifteen minutes long.

In other words? Great desktop game for people that don’t mind the meta changing entirely every six months. Great “mobile” game if you want to kill no less than thirty minutes.

JPAKx4,

I didn’t star it for a reason lmao, it’s a good game but not great casually

N64 controller. It’s insane, but I love it.

sleepybisexual,

Wasn’t expecting that

Not sure if it fits your criteria but the only mobile game I play is pinball deluxe. If you like real pinball, then you’ll love it, it tries to stay as true to real pinball as possible on some/most tables, it does have small transaction stuff you can buy but I still haven’t bought any including all the additional tables etc after playing it 6 months + and if you did, then it’s just an 8€ one time buy to get all the content and remove the ads, I’m gonna get that once I actually get bored of the “free” tables.

verity_kindle,

Yass, this was a daily driver for six months straight. The missions are actually fun and help you get access to free tables. Nice surprise, graphics are gorgeous.

squidspinachfootball,

Tetris with touch controls is not my favourite way to enjoy Tetris though

PlexSheep,

Foss alternative with a really good UI: Lightblocks

verity_kindle,

You animal. have you no mercy? XD

UndeadSlayer, do games w Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

Some good games I recommend are Alto’s Adventure / Odyssey, any bejeweled game, Cell to Singularity, Idle Slayer, Monument Valley, Reigns, Sky Force Reloaded, and Stick Fight Shadow Warrior. Hopefully that’s enough!

verity_kindle,

Reigns is so stressful, do not want! What are you trying to do, I’m spiraling just being reminded!

I recently upgraded my XBox 360 Wireless controller and got the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. Hall Effect Sensors trigger guqrd. Picked it up for und er 50 bucks on Aliexpress. They are available on Amazon US, but not in Europe.

vaionko, do gaming w What are your favourite controllers?

PS5 controller. Bought a broken one to fix and replace my xBox 360 controller I’d been using and it feels so much better. The trackpad is also useful for games with partial controller support like My Summer Car.

I always thought the GameCube controller was ridiculously comfortable and ergonomic, so that’s my choice. The C stick might not be for everyone though.

Any Dreamcast fans here? Those controllers had similar ergonomics in the hand, although the lack of a second analog stick was a pretty big drawback in hindsight.

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

Honestly the 2nd analog stick I didn’t mind too much because the face-buttons made a decent D-pad for the tiny handful of shooters on the DC. The bigger flaw was the lack of shoulder-buttons.

Also that putting a screen into a controller has always been a solution looking for a problem. It was on the DC, it was on the Wii-U, and there’s a good reason they abandoned the idea to put a screen on the PS4 touchpad controller.

Mindustry is amazing, and free somehow

@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Definitely not casual or low stress, especially as you progress through the planet, but a great game nonetheless

Sylvartas,

Whoops, yeah I skimmed over that part

PC game for decades with a recent (5 years?) Switch purchase. I was never a fan of controllers and still aren’t for anything to do with aiming, but the Switch Pro Controller impressed me as a real nice piece of hardware. Battery life is phenomenal too.

jarfil, do gaming w What are your favourite controllers?

Keyboard and mouse… but the Steam Controller is cool too.

Other than that, any PS clone. The long thin horns fit my hands better than others.

Splatoon is pretty fun

twoface, do games w Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions?

I really like Usagi Shima. There is not much gameplay, but it’s a nice game to just relax for a few minutes. Also “Really Bad Chess” is a nice twist on chess. :D

PS2

  • best d-pad ever made
  • comfortable to my big hands without being uncomfortable to friends’ regular-sized hands
  • pressure sensitivity all over the place, even if that did get underutilized
  • versatile design that’s equally comfortable to use for 2D and 3D games and doesn’t specifically favor a small number of genres
  • smooth, strong, and yet quiet rumble
  • good heft
  • uses a cord so no fucking around with batteries
  • sensibly named and located Start and Select buttons (Everyone‘s been dropping the ball on that front, lately. Sony most of all.)
