Oregon Trail on Apple IIGS.
We also had Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, but I wasn't as interested in that as much.

most likely Peek-a-Boo, or outside either Tag or Hide and Seek, if not something like Mouse Trap or Candy Land for board games

If you’re asking about video games, Pong on some sort of Realistic/Tandy console system in the late 70s when I would go to work with my father at Radio Shack (back when it was legit) and he would put me in front of the black&white.

For me it must’ve been either one of the Commander Keen games or the original Prince of Persia back in the early 90s. Still damn good games.

Oldest game I remember playing (when it was new) was Lemmings on the Macintosh. Early 1990s. I can still hear the tunes.

Finally got around to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, so I've been making my way through that. Enjoying the turn-based RPG game-play a lot more than I was expecting. Focused on the main story right now, but the side-content I've dabbled in has been pretty fun. Feels like one of those games I'm going to be chipping away at for a while.

I've also been playing Dread Delusion and absolutely loving it. I don't tend to pick up Early Access games, but hearing it described as a "Morrowind-like" RPG caught my interest and it is the perfect way to describe the game. It really captures that feeling of playing Morrowind for the first time, of being a nobody in a strange land. The game doesn't even give you a map when you start out. You have to get by on directions and landmarks until you complete the side quest that gives you a map. And even then you have to fill it out as you explore the world. More than that, it's that sense that you never really know what you're going to encounter around the next corner. You can wander into a town looking for your contact to continue the main quest only to end up accepting a quest from the atheistic Inquisition to help them hunt down a rogue god and their followers.

Like I said it's still Early Access so it is a little rough around the edges. There's more than a handful of bugs and the combat is...fine, but not much else. Then again there's such a focus on sneaking, talking, and magicing your way around problems that that might be intentional. Still, what I've played so far has got me excited for when the finished product releases.

Dread Delusion was one of the best games I've played at PAX. I was bummed to see it launch into early access, but I guess they needed funding in a hurry. I'm definitely going to pick it up once it's done.

If combat is an option, those simple ARPGs could fit the bill nicely:

I like Raven's Cry but it is a janky game so be warned.

Since seeing this post I’ve played 20+ hours of BAR. Holy shit this game is so hard to learn but so fun and the community is awesome.

8bitdo controllers are good. They care about making good input devices.

Fanghole, do gaming w Pokemon TCG Card Distribution

Obviously it depends on the deck, but in general you want a large number of item cards and less pokemon and energy.

Item/trainer cards provide a lot of ways to draw/recycle and support your pokemon/energy and you’ll likely want to see a bigger ratio of them in your opening hand. Especially since you’re not going to go through too many more pokemon than you have prize cards and you can only have 1 active pokemon at a time with 6 total in play.

So the exact ratio depends on the deck and the pokemon you are trying to support, but essentially you shouldn’t be running more the 15 pokemon and 15 energy on a high end. 12 pokemon is pretty standard. Most of the rest of your deck should be search and draw cards which there should be plenty of.

Disclaimer: I don’t play this game.

TwilightVulpine,

That's right. It's preferable to go for 10-15 pokémon, 30-40 trainer and supporters, and 10-15 energies. As long as you can guarantee a basic pokémon in your starting hand, many trainer cards let you get the other basics and evolutions that you need. 15/30/15 is a more casual friendly mix, the tighter ones are used by people with optimized strategies.

It's also good to have 4 copies of whatever basic pokémon you want to focus on, as well as anything else that's necessary for your main strategy.

I play it casually but I held myself against the utterly savage folks on the TCG app's ranked mode to have some idea of the basics.

FlihpFlorp,

Thanks for the tip

I was rebuilding my decks and in my water deck i have a lot of stage 1s and basics to make it easier to build them up so in that deck I’d probably want more trainer cards

As for my psychic grass deck for example It still has a couple evolutions but it’s nothing I can’t go without so then I’d probably want slightly more energies since I thought that was a problem area

I always struggle with starting (no matter the task) so would a good general be start with 10 pokemon then build items (like if im going for evolutions or something) around them. Then build the energies based on what pokemon I want to pull and how their energy demand is. Then in occasionally see if I’m lacking damage or don’t have enough support

I mean that’s what I’m thinking but like I said starting is hard for me

TwilightVulpine,

Figuring out decks can be a lot of work but some cards are pretty much always useful. Professor's Research can save you from a bad hand and Ultra Balls can get you evolutions if they aren't showing up. For mixed color decks you might want Energy Search or maybe some variety of Rainbow Energy cards (but you can only have up to 4 of each special energy).

FlihpFlorp,

Ok so pretty much start with the few pokemon I really want then item cards to get them. Then just kinda fill in the gaps with other pokemon and items that have synergies as I go

I don’t remember if I said it here but this is just for fun between friends nothing serious

Dota and League of Legends. The moba format simply doesn’t click with me. Them being hyper competitive doesn’t help, and I’m someone who played plenty of UT2004 during my late teens

Andor’s Trail is a foss roguelike with a twist that it’s story based, something quite rare in this genre.

Immortal Life is a farming game but with a Wuxia twist where you can use chinese magic to help you do your chores and there’s a twin stick combat inside the dungeon. What surprised me was seeing the game selling well on steam, but never seeing a single article about it, strangely common with chinese indies over here.

AngryCommieKender,

I would imagine that most articles about Chinese Indie Games are written in Mandarin, so it’s unlikely you’d see them without the ability to read Chinese.

@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

The games are in english and they talk about japanese indies all the time though.

Weird. IDK
