t3rmit3, do gaming w Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?

I don’t burn out on screens. I can enjoy a game for 4 hours to unwind from 6 hours of work.

If you’re just starting out working, I wager to say you’re still… unoptimized. Putting in a lot more effort than necessary. New jobs are always stressful. Working for the first time even worse. Give it 10 years of working, and you’ll (hopefully) find your groove where you don’t let work drain your entire battery, and you still have energy left for relaxation.

Buy a mouse with a joystick or D-Pad on it. Or one of those 15 button mice meant for MMOs. Then you can play anything.

I tried attaching movement controls to my logitech g600’s number pad, it wasn’t practical

Psythik,

I agree but it works in a pinch and is better than nothing.

Here is a good one. The Case of the Golden Idol

FunnyUsername, do games w A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it
@FunnyUsername@lemmy.world avatar

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

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

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

You did say “just right hand,” there was a thread before asking for one-handed games in general

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

Hell yeah, congrats! I get back into DCSS every few years but I have only escaped with the orb once, a lucky MiFi run. Just getting there is huge!

borari, (edited ) do gaming w Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen?

I work on a computer at a desk all day. I’m do penetration testing and red team operations, so I spend a fuck ton of time doing training and development courses and labs which usually just involve typing a bunch of shit into a terminal window, both during work and on my own time (I genuinely enjoy it, it’s not a shitty workplace colonizing my off time situation), and I’ve played games my entire life.

Idk I’ve never had this problem. Screens recharge me, it’s people that drain me. I’d have the same flipped question for product vendors that are always at conferences and stuff, or business insurance sales people, just wondering how they get through all these small talk conversations, sales calls, dinners with clients, etc., without a chance to just sit behind a screen and answer people at whatever pace they need.

Oh. I have a variable height desk I got from DeskHaus. I love it. I’m standing a fair amount of the time I’m working. I have a decent SteelCase chair I bought during the beginning of covid. I got it from a refurb reseller, but even brand new it’s not their nicest chair, but it’s expensive enough and holding up well enough that I don’t see a reason to replace it yet. Standing through the workday helps me not feel exhausted and tired of sitting in the same chair for 12 hours since I haven’t been.

linkinkampf19, do games w Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?
@linkinkampf19@lemmy.world avatar

Voidigo is pretty unique I think. Chaotic roguelite with unique and sometimes asinine weaponry. Sure, it can sometimes feel a bit like Enter the Gungeon, but I feel the art style separates it a good bit from that and other top down shooters. Plus the guns and melee can be a bit crazy in their own right.

Backpack Battles! Fantastic little inventory management game with a load of replay value.

Contentedness,

Huh! I’ve never come across the genre, I feel this is a good opportunity to try some new things so I appreciate the suggestion. Will look into it!

Oh I forgot to mention this part. They have a free demo on Steam with ~1/3 of the playable content. That alone is great. The full game is reasonably priced too and they’re still rolling out content updates frequently
