I think you should be able to play Organ Trail one-handed. It's a zombie apocalypse version of Oregon Trail.

BagOfHeavyStones,

Organ Trail... What's the objective?

The objective is to make sure you have enough supplies to survive for as long as you can while making it across America to a place safe from zombies.

I believe the goal is ultimately to get to Canada (I haven't played in a while) but I might be mixing it up with Death Road to Canada, which is similar in premise but probably not something you could play one-handed.

I don’t get how people do this. I obsessively play a single game until I exhaust everything possible to do in that game. Only then I move on to the next game. In 243 days I would probably have screenshots of 2 games total.

Part of it just that I like taking screenshots of my games. I’ll take a picture of anything I see that’s slightly interesting in games. So much so that I used to have a whole extra storage drive for all of them until I trimmed them down and limited myself lol

lunarul,

It’s not about the screenshots, I’m just amazed with how you’re playing a different game every day. I can’t put down a game until I 100% it.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I get what you’re saying. I try to 100% things, or at the very least beat the story. But some times I’ll get burnt out easily or just won’t have the time for that specific game. Usually I try to balance a single player game and then multiplayer game with friends I’ll shuffle through whenever.

Right now my single player is Far Cry 3, and then my multiplayer rn is mostly Halo Infinite with my friend, though occasionally I’ll drag my PS3 over to my friend’s house for Splitscreen Minecraft (like today), so that could be included under multiplayer too.

Far Cry 3 was the game that got me to stop buying Ubisoft games. I enjoyed the game, but when someone invited me to an online match (something that almost never happened for me) I found that playing online required some U-Play account or whatever they called it, and it cost $10. I tried the free account code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So at that point I was pissed. I didn’t play online often, but it would’ve been nice to play with one of the very few friends I had without being expected to pay more money for the game I already paid for.

Fuck Ubisoft. I hope that company burns.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Fuck. I completely forgot they used to do that bullshit thing for Multiplayer. I think I still have a card for it that came with my childhood copy of AC Revelations somewhere

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.

I second Vampire Survivors

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.

I remembered the level skip code waaaay before I was old enough to know what ZAPHODBEEBLEBROX meant hahahaha <3

Rai,

Addendum: my parents wouldn’t let me get The 11th Hour cuz I was 10 :c

I STILL HATE THE CHESS PUZZLES FROM 7TH GUEST AAAAAAA

Rai,

Addendum2: my partner and I are stuck on a chess puzzle but I know that BrutalMoose did a 7th Guest playthrough that we are now going to watch.

Rai,

Oh you fucking ROCK. I forgot which puzzle we were stuck on, but we’ll boot it back up and check out your hints <3

I can’t believe I beat this game when I was younger, especially without Internet!

Rai,

Random memory: I put disc two in my new discman when I was super lil and my mind was blown when the entire (incredible) soundtrack started playing.

Rai,

Oh heck yeah, thank you! I like you.

kerrigan778, do gaming w Tetris

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

Unitonically, they actually use it to various degrees of success in a clinical setting.

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

YiddishMcSquidish,

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

mythic_tartan, do gaming w Tetris

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

YiddishMcSquidish,

Grand Master even

MIDItheKID, do gaming w Tetris

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!
