XeroxCool, do gaming w What's a good slow paced shooter game?

The Far Cry games pretty much always allow a sniper and/or stealth option. Some of the scripted mission sequences can be fast paced, but it’s largely open world. If you’re not familiar with them, stick to the games with numbers in the titles for starters. Probably not 6. Maybe not 2 this day and age. 3-6 all exist with a particular style in mind.

Unless you’re anti ubisoft

This is a good addition to Lemmy.

Weed helps, but not much. What really helped was getting out from a screen most of the working day.

How is it for game streaming? I’ve been loving Apollo and Artemis

cRazi_man, (edited )

I haven’t tried yet. I think there are videos on YouTube showing Moonlight working well. Don’t know about other apps. I’ve installed Steam Link expecting that WiFi 6 should give a good streaming experience.

Artemis is a fork of moonlight and has absolutely surpassed it. Steam Link is garbage compared to it, and that is not an exaggeration.

I like these, but they've been superseded by Windows handhelds for me. Granted, that's because I have so many devices I use for retro stuff that being able to easily mount a shared folder instead of keeping a million SD cards with the same games is a big bonus and there is just no convenient way to do that on Android (and it strongly depends on your definition of "convenient" on Linux). If you just need the one thing to play a single bundle of old games I'd take the convenience, small size and long battery life of the 'droid devices.

If you don’t mind something older, both Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic games can be played only with mouse. It’s bit clunkier than also using a keyboard, but doable. I used to play them like that while smoking many years ago.

I got burnt out after treating WoW like a full time job for multiple years, while having a full time job. Ever since my PC is connected to the TV. Sitting at a desk isn’t relaxing. So PC or console, it’s from the comfort of my recliner with a controller.

Kolanaki, do games w Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I forgot the name of it (Ex Machina? 🤔), but there is a top down diablo-like game with somewhat QWOPish controls and physics based combat. You control movement normally (assuming you’re standing), but you have to actually swing your sword around with the mouse and because it’s a top down view, this becomes a real challenge. It’s also presented as a soul like, so the AI is generally actually good at combat, and it’s also slow, and heavy feeling.

I don’t think it ever got finished, though. It was semi-popular for about a week before I never really saw it anymore.

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

You can’t really. Only solution for me was to just not work 5 days a week. If you have a good job now… likely 3/5ths, so 3 days a week, will also make you able to support yourself.

If you want an alternative to Slay the Spire i can recommend Monster Train; you mainly summon different Hellspawn and cast spells, which gives it more of an Magic the Gathering feel.

If you want an ARPG fix and have thumb buttons on your mouse you can try Chronicon, don’t let the gfx stop you, it’s an excellent hack&slash game, and you can put all your skills onto 1 button if you like - i use the middle and the right button for most builds and thumb keys for pots

If you want a new spin on Darkest Dungeon, give Iratus - Lord of the Dead a try. Or if you played a lot of Darkest Dungeon and want more of it, try Black Reliquary, a huge (and free!) mod with a lot of new mechanics!

Going into the same direction as Into the Breach is Shotgun King - the final Checkmate. It’s really fun and the higher difficulties really make your brains work out. Workshop support with lots of extra content included! Also great for Turn-based Tactics is Invisible Inc., putting you in control of an spy agency which has been hit hard and tries to recover.

For arcade games i can recommend Utopia must fall - it really captures the spirit of old arcade games, but feels real fresh. You can also go for Nova Drift, which is also an excellent arcade game.

Then there is Cultist Simulator and its spiritual successor, Book of Hours. It’s basically a card based riddle game, and very atmospheric.

There is always Shattered Pixel Dungeon - it is also available on Steam or Gog, but you can download and play it for free from the link i provided.

I think your collarbone might have healed until you’ve finished that list, have fun!

Peggle Deluxe and Peggle Nights are awesome mouse-only (except typing name i think) casual games!

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

I go through waves. Sometimes I don’t want to play games at all, and during those times I do some of my other hobbies/activities. Summer especially I spend a lot of time outside. I would advise against spending money to try and fix what just might be a temporary thing. Not to say you shouldn’t buy a SteamDeck if you want one outside of the fatigue, just don’t let that be the only reason.

How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment. School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people. Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

ModernRisk,

How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment.

For about 2 months and a few days now. So I think, I already adjusted to the changes.

School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people.

Definitely! It was tough the first few weeks, lol.

Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.

At the moment I don’t yet, I purposely asked if I could work full time at office. I still live with parents and the distractions are a bit much. Might try working from home sooner or later though.

Vodulas,

In that case my original advice might be the best. Try doing some of you other hobbies, and then re-evaluate after a couple weeks. I’m guessing you are not in the US, but the weather is getting better in the northern hemisphere. Try finding something to do that gets you out of the house. If you still want to play games later, you’ll find the time

Steam Deck. I can play in bed, or even hook it up to the TV in my living room and play from my couch. I even picked up a wireless keyboard and mouse for that specific purpose.

When I was in my 20’s I had my PC hooked up directly to my TV. Now I have kids and I would rather not have it set up like that, but it may be an option for you.

With the exception of chat, try Old School RuneScape. Good game for passive gameplay as well as more intensive/focused gameplay.
