I think this should display both players on the same tile, no? And maybe some hint as to what happened here (so my opponent knows I moved two spaces). In general, it’s not always clear what the final move was.
Also, I just now realised that clicking “How to play” again closes the instructions. Was scrolling up and down between matches.
Any way to get a sound to confirm a match was found?
You get accepted into a game, but have to scroll down to find the playground, which is a little mini hassle
You play “the other” sometimes, I thought you always player orange and loled when the cross moved stupidly
The enemy went into himself I think (that should not be possible to do IMO) and I won, but I’m not sure that happened, some visual feedback on why you won would be nice.
That’s great feedback, I appreciate it. The X or O glows depending on which one you are moving, I want to keep the board state visually identical for both players aside from that though (flipping O or X depending on which you are playing can be weird). I can also make the reason for winning more descriptive, all of that information is displayed in the backend console already.
Raw PvP 1v1 matchmaking, no user accounts, no database, etc. If there is interest I’ll keep building it, but otherwise I’m done with it for now aside from fixing any critical bugs that may arise. It’s alive!
Would guess this is more or less similar to PS5 with backwards compatibility with PS4, PS5 games. PS5 pro didnt really do a big splash so PS6 give bigger uprgrade for those looking for one.
Making those game libraries accessible on portable device would also be quite impressive. (Not quite Steam deck level but still.)
Oh, Need for Speed! I still break out the originals like NFS III Hot Pursuit when I want to focus on a podcast or an audio book, but don’t want my mind to wonder. Letting my visual and motor cortex enter a flow state while doing timed laps pacifies my ADHD, keeping me on track to complete any audible reading, pun intended. It also helps having all the maps memorized from nostalgia.
Emulating the PS1 and PS2 titles is an option, but there are modern patches of the PC ports that improve the ergonomics of running them on current operating systems, including Wine and Proton:
Need For Speed III Modern Patch v1.6.1 [2016/10/28] (HD + Widescreen + Portable)
Another racing series with a similar flow vibe could be the Track Mania titles. Forza Horizon is a little flashy, but if you create a waypoint race route and then avoid the finish line, you can then free roam without traffic making for a relaxing and scenic diving game. The Hot Wheels DLC for Forza Horizon is also rather zen once you get a grasp for the different gravity and motion model dynamics.
Turn-based RPGs generally move at the speed you do, so they aren’t intense in a way you’d have to worry about, and there are a LOT of them. Many Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, etc. games.
What I call ‘procedural’ games would also work, things where it’s less about pushing yourself to have perfect reaction times or compute complex values in your head, and more about just walking through the process in search of the Zen of flow state. Lots of simulator games fit in the category: train station renovator sim, house flipper sim, power wash sim, rover mechanic sim, mech mechanic sim, etc. Hardspace: Shipbreaker is a favorite in this category. There are also games like ‘Papers, Please’, ‘Contraband Police,’ etc. where you run down a checklist and try to spot anomalies.
Life games serve as well. They usually don’t have a hard limit on how you play through them so you can play as you like and progress in whatever way. Stardew Valley, Staxel, the My Time At … series, Farming Sim, etc. all lean toward just being pleasant rather than an intense challenge.
It’s how i pick my screenshots. I try to pick ones that arent too obvious but if you know the game you can identify it. Some games are hard to do that on though
I’ve tried it on and off two times. It piqued my interest but I never got around to playing it for more than an hour both times. It didn’t click with me for whatever reason.
if you got out of the apartment and didn’t want to finish the game then it’s simply not for you. for me that moment alone was enough to see it through.
I get that. It’s one of those games where i don’t think i can play it more than once after seeing the ending (even with me not getting the ending last playthrough i’m worried i won’t stick with this playthrough because of that)
