DigDoug, do games w One-handed games?

One really handy thing with the Steam Deck is the ability to remap all of the buttons (as well as the two paddles on the back for each hand), so one could probably make a decent one-handed control setup for 99% of turn-based games. Even ones that require the use of the mouse, given the Deck’s touchpads.

Vampire Survivors requires nothing except the stick/dpad outside of menus (and I’m pretty sure you can use the touchscreen for menus, too).

If your friend(s) are stuck using the dpad, it might not be suitable, but Crypt of the Necrodancer only requires four buttons or left, right, up, and down (and you can assign buttons for the button combos normally required to do things like use bombs). This assumes that they like rhythm games.

Brilliant puzzle game

Designed to be played on a controller with one hand so you can take notes with your other hand.

Such a cool stylish game. Highly recommended.

Tetris 99. It’s like racing side by side with 98 other Sisyphuses to see who can get their boulder up the hill most efficiently.

Linktank,

God that game was such a letdown. I heard “Multiplayer tetris” and thought I could play with friends.

Nope.

greybeard,

There are plenty if multiplayer Tetris games out there. Tetris 99 was going for something very different.

Linktank,

Yeah, I hated it.

I don’t give a fuck how 99 other random ass people are doing in their own personal tetris game.

What’s the status of VR games on Linux? With headsets that don’t require weird accounts (Meta)

antithetical,

As I mentioned in another comment it plays quite well. At least with the Steam Index that I use. Most games seem to work out of the box. One thing that isn’t currently implemented is BT communication with the lighthouses which is a bit annoying but there are other apps and tools to workaround that.

chronicledmonocle,

If you have a Quest headset, ALVR allows you to stream SteamVR to it.

I believe the Valve Index allows for Linux usage, but I’ve never owned one.

Seems like WiVRn is also a good solution these days, just tried it out for the first time a few hours ago and I’m very impressed.

chronicledmonocle,

Wow never heard of this application. I’ll have to give it a try.

This is just inherent to the history of games stemming from arcades. If you “finished” the game you had to insert more coins again, basically every game was structured so that if you “won” you kept playing until you finally lost, setting a high score.

Asetru,

While that’s true in general, tetris wasn’t designed for arcades.

Alenalda,

Maybe not the original Tetris, but there are many very popular arcade ports. Early versions of Tetris didnt even have line clears and the game just ended when the board filled.

ActionBasto,

i’ve never heard if a version of tetris without line clears. as far as i know it was in the original version distrubuted on floppy disks.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Yeah, quick Google search shows the original 1984 mono chromatic one had line clears and kept track of score. Homie is clearly making stuff up

Nikokin,

And don’t forget grandpa pinball. Always gotta lose

You can finish the game by hitting a memory overflow bug very far in the game under specific conditions. Just look up finishing Tetris…

null,

In the NES version, yeah

Yeah people act like the grand master edition doesn’t have a following or a credits bonus level.

False. I’ve won, you just need to be good enough to become a Tetris Master. Keep practicing! ;)

Everybody talking about Scooty “beating” the game but nobody is talking about the story. There is a story. You are building a missile silo with bricks. The lines aren’t disappearing, the camera is scrolling up. It was the Cold War. It makes sense.

I have no official documentation of this.

YiddishMcSquidish,

No it was obviously a new gulag that you built around yourself! I do have documentation on this, but it’s mainly geometric symbols and scribblings about higher dimensions. My mom says it’s schizo, but she just doesn’t see the patterns!

HubertManne, do games w One-handed games?

Not really helpful in terms of gifts as they are free to play mmo's and they use keyboard and mice but both have some script capabilities which allow for one to be able to play alternating between keyboard and mouse or not use mouse at all. Its the cryptic games champions online and star trek online. One thing you could do is play them yourself and learn the scripting and then gifting them useful scripts. with champions online turning the block to a toggle is the big script thing and with star trek online its making an emergency power to spacebar one (this is reference to a script where tapping space works through all the abilites put into a shorcut area that can be swapped out). really basic ones will dump everything into spacebar but more nuanced ones will have a key for low cooldown abilities and one for long cooldown offense and long cooldown defense. there really is no limit to the messing around.

Lib boomer meme.

You know the russophobia/anticommunism/fashism is bad on Lemmy when literally nobody mentions it in 80+ comments and this nonsense is upvoted 700 times.

The power of the bogeyman is strong here.

drd,

I love when someone unironically uses that particularly dumb -phobia term because I immediately know to disregard everything else they’ve said.

Looking at your post history I continue to be correct.

proletarians_must_suffer,
@proletarians_must_suffer@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, russophobia is when out of 80+ comments no one mentions that author may have implied some bad connotations for Soviet Union. To decrease the amount of anticommunism under this fascist post, everyone repeat after me:

Through days dark and stormy, where great Lenin led us… and I forgot the lyrics.

TIL Tetris is from USSR. Aswell as that the pieces in it are called tetrominos.

sudo,

Did you never play with sound?

can,

Response: What do mean? It plays the Tetris theme.

peteyestee,

That’s the users anthem.

can,

And here I thought I’d be fine not adding “/s”

9bananas,

it’s not the anthem, it’s a popular folk song ;)

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korobeiniki

can,

I thought so.

umbraroze,

The first version I played was the Commodore 64 version by Mirrorsoft, which actually didn’t use the Russian imagery.

The soundtrack was an epic 25 minute synth prog metal odyssey.

Commodore 64 is a very cool computer.
