To be honest, I don’t get a lot of time to game as an adult. For the past several years, my gaming is mostly restricted to fall/winter, like November through early March and even then, it’s primarily around the holidays when I have extra time off work. Even during my “gaming season”, I’m usually only able to get in a 45 minute session a few times a week. The rest of the year, I’m lucky to have the down time more than a couple times a month.

So, the big thing is: I have to really consider my time limitations and that restricts the types of games I play. No point in trying to play games with super complicated control schemes, complex story lines, or which require a lot of time dedication to “get gud” because I’m going to forget how to play, what I need to do to advance, and I’m just going to suck compared to kids who play 18 hours a day 7 days a week.

The Steam Deck actually did help me do a bit more gaming. Like you, I sit in front of a computer all day for work, so being able to game elsewhere and in a variety of locations is nice. Plus, I can fire it up when traveling.

I also stick to games that I feel like there’s a good chance I can “beat” over the course of my gaming season or games with simple mechanics and limited stories. Like this past winter I played Doom. The year before it was Cult of the Lamb. The year before that it was Hades. Short enough games (at least the main story line) and simple enough controls. Then there are games like Vampire Survivors that offer short, simple, self-contained and satisfying mini gaming sessions if and when I have a random bit of down time and feel like playing something.

Balatro!

Edit: inscryption is WASD +spacebar only, if you can do that with a slight seating adjustment. It’s great for planes. The post game content might be even better than the game content, haha.

donuts,

I didn’t know that, that is awesome. Inscryption is one of the coolest gaming experiences of the last few years. It’s right up there with titles like Subnautica and the Outer Wilds for me. Daniel Mullins is a creative lad.

It’s a very good game! I loved Subnautica too :)

MudMan, do games w A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it

I like these, but they've been superseded by Windows handhelds for me. Granted, that's because I have so many devices I use for retro stuff that being able to easily mount a shared folder instead of keeping a million SD cards with the same games is a big bonus and there is just no convenient way to do that on Android (and it strongly depends on your definition of "convenient" on Linux). If you just need the one thing to play a single bundle of old games I'd take the convenience, small size and long battery life of the 'droid devices.

I’ve got over 1300 hours on that game. SMH… I love that game. I’m hoping for another dlc.

simple,

If you haven’t already, check out Fiend Folio in the steam workshop. It’s a fan-made DLC with new items and 500-so new enemies and it’s fantastic.

i got a Powkiddy rgb20sx and I LOVE IT. SO MUCH.

i agree with everything you said, they take some willingness to tinker but boy is the payoff worth it. now that i have the library set up i can swap it out with any device and play anything in the future. i was never a big fan of portable consoles, but having all the retro titles in one little machine is just such a perfect thing. i only paid 60 bucks for my powkiddy, worth every penny

I’ve been eyeing the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 and thinking about buying one. How are you playing Repentance on this thing? Switch emulation?

cRazi_man,

Yes, Switch Emulation. The emulation app is called Sudachi (works better than Yuzu).

Recently did another Plants vs. Zombies run, so I’m gonna throw this one into the mix here.
