Cocoon is very different, the worlds inside worlds puzzles are mind-breaking but really fun. Highly recommended!

That’s my secret cap. I’m always exhausted.

The Steam Deck has been a literal lifesaver. Enabling me to play in bed.

Midnitte,

Playing on the couch is a godsend.

MudMan,

Second this. Handhelds are great for adult gaming.

Plus in my case you also tend to gravitate away from more narrative, engaged experiences and towards more mechanics-driven, lighter stuff, which tends to be a good fit for the format, too.

PentastarM,

Thirded. Triced? Anyway, I haven’t gamed in front of a TV or monitor in almost a decade. All of it has been handheld (either 3DS early in those 10 years, or now with either phone or a Retro gaming device of some sort, or a switch, I dont have a steamdeck).

And I haven’t had a long gaming session in almost that same time frame. Games that I can pick up and play for 10s of minutes before I have to go be an adult again are the ones that get played the most.

I watch other people play the games. Then when I’m tired I close my eyes and I have a nap. I can wake up, fully rested and maybe get to see the final boss! Or not. Maybe I just go to bed.

Kissaki,

cRazi_man,

Lemmy is fragmented and I don’t know if posts get visitbility across communities. It seems Lemmy.world gets more engagement and that should be the primary place to post. It’s a shame that cross posts don’t bring everyone to the same commenting area to engage with each other.

cRazi_man,

Works perfectly

I got the RP4 when it came out, and liked it a lot, but it was hurting my hands to play on it for a while.

cRazi_man,

You’re right, ergonomics aren’t great, but I’m fine with that because it prioritises portability. Better ergonomics can be added with the grip attachment. Although I have giant hands and I’m OK playing extended periods without grips.

technomad,

That’s valid, and to each their own of course.

This is a good addition to Lemmy.

Since Ellipsis hasn’t been mentioned yet, here’s my recommendation:

Ellipsis is an action-packed Avoid ’Em Up with minimalistic, yet powerful neon styled visuals. Guide your ship through a mysterious universe while deftly avoiding hordes of roaming enemies, spikes, lasers and more.

Ellipsis on Steam Store

Purchased My wife a RP5 for Christmas. I could see she’d always wanted to game, but was embarrassed that her controller skills were non existence.

3+ months in, and she’s a button maniac. Her farm in Stardew is insane, and she’s fighting monsters in the caves better than I do.

That little device created a private space for her, to get lost in the magical little world, and in the process has turned her into a gamer.

I never interfered. Only answered her queries when she asked, and let her go at her own pace.

Total game changer. I’m so proud of her.

Can’t wait to get her into some new games, but waiting for her to make the call. All in her own time.

cRazi_man,

I thought it would be perfect for the Mrs, but she’s refused saying she going to end up staying up way too late because she gets addicted to games 😆

The only thing you’ve got to be cautious about is localised save files of you haven’t set up something like syncthing for backup.

Rimworld can be played only with a mouse pretty good. And City Skylines too

Ephera, do gaming w [DCSS] I did it! I touched the Orb...

suddenly found myself in the Realm of Zot.

Yeah, when I got there the first and only time, I was also surprised how little separates you from Zot once you’ve made it through the Dungeon and the rune branches. Far too many of my characters have died on the final stretch…

enemyofsun,

My first time in Zot I died to Pargghit who was berserked by a moth so yeah…

Zot is a cruel place :D

Mini Metro was the first thing that came to mind. Fun little time waster.

Nibodhika,

I have also recently been playing Mini Motorways and found it more fun than Mini Metro (too bad it’s not available on Android, since mini metro is one of my favorite phone games)

If you’re a grand strategy fan: Crusader Kings 3. You could spend hundreds of hours in that game, and it’s mainly designed to be played with only a mouse.

Contentedness,

Oh I remember looking into this a while back but it seemed kind of daunting. Perhaps now’s the time to take the plunge! Appreciate the suggestion!

simple,

It’s definitely a bit difficult to get into, but I’d recommend doing the tutorial and going with the flow rather than trying to understand everything. You’ll slowly start to realize what’s going on.

Skua,

I'd also add that CK3 is a step above most Paradox games in terms of beginner-friendliness. Everything has a tooltip defining what it does, and most of the game-specific words in that tooltip have tooltips of their own. It's not like the older games and their "lol keep the wiki open and good fucking luck" approach to explaining themselves

Nibodhika,

CK can be daunting, I recommend you choose which time period you like best and go with that game, e.g. if you like sci-fi go with Stellaris, if you like WWII go with Hearts of Iron 4, etc. liking the time period where the game is set can make a huge difference in you willingness to learn it. For example if you don’t like medieval it might be daunting to track lineages and hereditary traits and how the ownership of land works (I once lost an entire kingdom because of it on CK2), but if you like WWII maybe seeing historical facts reflected on mechanics or learning military tactics is more interesting to you. All of those games are very different from one another, but they’re also very alike, starting with one that’s just the right one can help you pass the steep learning curve.
