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

My gaming sessions on my Steam Deck are about 1-2 hours around 2-3 times a week. It takes me about 4-6 months to finish an RPG.

Robbity,

Accurate.

Anahkiasen,

I second the Steam Deck, best way to pick games up and down and actually play whenever you can instead of having to plan it!

prole,

Thirded. You can also stream your PS4/PS5 to it if you want to play one of those games but don’t want to have to turn off your stories to play on the TV.

My stories!

Rimworld can be played only with a mouse pretty good. And City Skylines too

I know this is not for everyone, but may I suggest you to try Hoyoverse games?

Since they are designed to be played both on desktop and mobile, the game play session can be short but still meaningful.

At least this is what I do. I still play other indie games but Hoyoverse really made be forget the need to buy “AAA” games that are designed to waste players’ time.

balssh,

The story and graphics are top notch, but at times can be pretty grindy.

sculd,

Yup The key is to do it bits by bits. Still pretty fun!

Since Ellipsis hasn’t been mentioned yet, here’s my recommendation:

Ellipsis is an action-packed Avoid ’Em Up with minimalistic, yet powerful neon styled visuals. Guide your ship through a mysterious universe while deftly avoiding hordes of roaming enemies, spikes, lasers and more.

Ellipsis on Steam Store

This is a good addition to Lemmy.

I remember when I first started working full time. The exhaustion is real. It doesn’t ever really go away but you will eventually learn to live with it.

Fuck capitalism. All my homies hate it

Hansae,

I am becoming more and more attracted to doing a masters before I graduate… stave off the misery for another year.

Probably worth doing if you can afford it

jasoman, do games w A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it

BoI has to crash on that

cRazi_man,

Works perfectly

sleepybisexual, do gaming w A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it

Nice. I also have a blue rp4p. Mostly use for PSP and switch

cRazi_man,

PSP had so many great games. I’ve got China Town Wars, Rock Band, Wipeout Pure, Patapon, Mercury Meltdown, Final Fantasy Tactics…and really wish I had the time to get to all of these.

sleepybisexual,

Getting into monster hunter.Tekken Dr is a fun one

cRazi_man,

Thanks I’ll check them out.

sleepybisexual,

Also, pojavlauncher is worth a shot. Comes in your setup utility

cRazi_man,

Lemmy is fragmented and I don’t know if posts get visitbility across communities. It seems Lemmy.world gets more engagement and that should be the primary place to post. It’s a shame that cross posts don’t bring everyone to the same commenting area to engage with each other.

Oh it wasn’t a critic ! Just found it funny

smeg, do gaming w A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it

I’ve seen these devices mentioned quite a bit on Lemmy but I’ve never looked into what they actually are. Is it basically just a small Android tablet with built-in controller? Does it run (x64) PC games or just (arm) Android games and emulators?

cRazi_man,

Android tablet with built-in controller?

Yes

Does it run (x64) PC games

There’s Winlator, but you’ve gotta manage your expectations for the performance you expect for PC games.

(arm) Android games and emulators

Primarily this

smeg,

I’ve not tried Winlator for a year or so, wasn’t really useable but looked like it had a lot of promise. Guessing if you’re successfully emulating Switch games then it’s pretty capable though?

cRazi_man,

I haven’t tried Winlator myself.

Less demanding Switch games work fine. The Retroid Pocket 5 would have better performance and there are videos on youtube with game demonstrations to see performance.

whysteria,

Also gonna mention Postmaster, which supports lots of ARM-Linux handhelds

There’s support for it on the RP5 via Rocknix, which is the successor to the device OP mentioned :)

Work/life balance.

Quexotic,

I cannot upvote this enough.

Without Work-Life balance, you will be miserable and it won’t matter what you plan to do outside of work you won’t want to do it.

The fact that you’ve just left college and already have a job is a fantastic thing, but the ideal is to have a good work-life balance so that you can actually live life. It took me a long time, too long, to figure that out.

Megaman_EXE,

How does one find work-life balance when the 40-hour work week feels like too much? Anything less than “full time” either doesn’t pay benefits or doesn’t pay enough to live off of. It feels like a trap

Quexotic,

Well, you’ve got me there, to be honest.

It is a trap. I guess you find work-life balance by eating the rich.

Cocoon is very different, the worlds inside worlds puzzles are mind-breaking but really fun. Highly recommended!
