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.
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.
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.
Great. Now you’ve cursed me with this too. That’s twice the amount of time I’ll be humming this bitch.
Ok, real talk, this is how bad it is. Once I changed the words to “maybe we’d be better off, if we ate beef stroganoff”. That day I learned to cook stroganoff for the lulz and my girlfriend is now addicted and I have to cook it twice a month.
I remember that the dev of Legend of Grimrock added an option for movement with the mouse because a disabled gamer wanted to play. Maybe that second friend should check that and the 2nd game out.
Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying…
Yeah, for PC they’ll probably have to grit their teeth and power through the discomfort. An alternative is getting a hand in some old emulated games. Anything from the NES era can be mapped to 4 movements + 4 buttons (start, select, A, B), which on a keyboard could be WASD + Q, E, R and F. Dunno how to set something similar on a Deck.
So left hand only games… driving games should work(enjoying NFS heat, atm), turn based games and isometric RPGs (plenty of those, depends on preferences… Balatro, slay the spire, XCOM, disco Elysium, etc… I could make a list if needed).
Telltale games like the wolf among us and stuff
Vampire survivors and all the similar games (halls of torment, brotato, soulstone survivors, etc)
For the friend who enjoys BG3, you can play Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous pretty much entirely with the mouse. The base game is 90% off on steam right now too.
Pathfinder has a massive learning curve compared to DnD 5e though, but that just means you can get an extra 50 hours of entertainment out of the game before you start the story, just by figuring out all the options when creating your character lol
Edit: whoops, seems like the steam spring sale just ended. The game is still absolutely worth it at full price though
WotR is so fucking good. But a quick PSA for anyone interested: Install the Bubble Buffs mod so you don’t have to spend 5 minutes casting your 37 buffs before every large fight.
I’ve heard it can be hard to see with the naked eye, and it seems like it would probably get murdered by city lights. Something like some low power, wide-lens binoculars might help collect enough light to make it visible. Also, I’ve heard that cell phone cameras and cameras in general are pretty good at picking up the Aurora over the naked eye, especially on longer exposures.
Sounds about right. The main problem is getting our somewhere dark, where the horizon is visible. There are buildings for miles around, and its really cold because of the winds. I’ve got so many good excuses. I’m glad you have a long list of objects to look for. Its quite impressive, to be honest. I know my way around, but still not that many DSO’s off the top of my head 🙌
If it’s more permanent show them an Azeron Cyro at www.azeron.euIt’s a mouse with a thumbstick, you can play almost any PC game with one hand. Comes in both right and left handed versions.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is basically just more BG3 (though with less production quality) so that should be right up your RPG-loving friend’s alley. Turn based combat and click-to-move lets you play the whole thing with just your mouse I’m pretty sure.
