_hovi_, do games w Suggestions for mouse only games?

Civ 5 and FTL would be my top suggestions. I think anything turn based is likely to be playable with just a mouse

Balatro!

Edit: inscryption is WASD +spacebar only, if you can do that with a slight seating adjustment. It’s great for planes. The post game content might be even better than the game content, haha.

donuts,

I didn’t know that, that is awesome. Inscryption is one of the coolest gaming experiences of the last few years. It’s right up there with titles like Subnautica and the Outer Wilds for me. Daniel Mullins is a creative lad.

It’s a very good game! I loved Subnautica too :)

iii, do games w Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?

Minesweeper

badcommandorfilename,

Solitaire - classic top down perspective.

Come to think of it, so was that Space Pinball game too.

I could never get on with Minesweeper. I bet it's something to do with my ADHD and Discalculia.

I hope its active enough in the Lemmy-verse to support it, I always considered that kind of comm to almost require a large amount of people to make it useful

Then again, the Lemmy-verse is full of nerds soooo ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

Raiderkev, do games w Should we boycott games with loot boxes?

I already do, but I’m also not as avid a gamer as I once was. Every FPS became borderline unplayable when loot crates became a thing. Call me old fashioned, but I liked when games had the same weapons for everyone, and there weren’t random cards or whatever that made people’s guns more powerful / reload /shoot faster, etc. It really brings an imbalance to the game, and enables these stupid gambling sites. The companies making the games are making money hand over fist, so they aren’t going to stop any time soon barring regulation, and looking at this administration, good fucking luck with that. Boycott away.

I see the other side - if I’m not using my SteamDeck, it’s because I’m having a good enough time with the ‘real world’.

Lolseas, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I thought I read some time ago that Windoze 10 would be the last version of Windoze ever…

Manticore,
@Manticore@lemmy.nz avatar

Yeah I remember thr same thing. Everything else was suppose to be a package update.

But back-end technology and usage expectations change, and there’s a limit to what front-end changes an existing user tolerates. That was never a promise they could keep.

It has lasted a really long time, though. I don’t decry 11 existing. I’m upset they’re sunsetting 10 without giving us a chance to wait for 11 to get better, let alone for ‘oops we fixed the fuckups’ W12.

benjaminoakes,

Well, it can be the last version of Windows for you. 🙂

Ubuntu is nice. I use it daily. Others in my family too. And there are other options too. I hear Mint is nice though I haven’t used it much.

Give it some thought. 🙂

glitchdx,

i remember it as “the last version of windows you’ll ever need” and they were absolutely correct.

Kit, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I’m a lifelong Windows user and tried Linux many many times but could never wrap my head around it. Recently I installed Nobara and it’s exactly the noob-friendly experience I need. All of my games run flawlessly, even the VR game I play. And everything is just FASTER. I never realized how bloated Windows was until now. I can’t imagine going back to Windows at this point.

Sabata11792,

What headset? I have my Index mostly working on Nobara, but can’t figure out how to get it to show as an audio device.

Kit,

Quest 3. I only play Resonite which has native Linux compatibility so it might be easier for that reason.

Empricorn, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Full Linux, I’m not installing that anti-privacy, ad-ridden Windows 11 OS. It’s dangerous to use an unsupported system, so I’m going to be deleting my Windows partition. I know I’ll run into some issues on Linux, but I’m forcing myself to learn more and work through them!

@kazerniel@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll upgrade to 11 Enterprise via massgrave.

Sadly with Adobe and some of my online games not supporting Linux, I have to stick with Windows :/ I’ll just try to disable all the telemetry and AI crap via O&O and group policies.

Retrograde,
@Retrograde@lemmy.world avatar

Damn, Adobe doesn’t support Linux at all? Guess I’m staying on Windows too :/

Soapbox1858,

The only way to use Adobe products on Linux are the web apps (which are limited) or in a windows virtual machine (slow) or by dual booting into windows (annoying).

You can run really old versions of Photoshop via Wine. But if your needs are that simple, you can probably just use Photopea.

For my use case of Lightroom for accessing and editing final photos across my computer and phone, and occasional photoshop use (mostly for printing) I am able to get by with the web apps, and windows virtual machine.

I would love to drop adobe. But the Lightroom Mobile cloud storage sync feature is too invaluable to me right now and there is no other option that comes close to that feature.

Retrograde,
@Retrograde@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, yeah - Lightroom itself is their crown jewel these days, let’s be honest

kazerniel,
@kazerniel@lemmy.world avatar

No, all the current versions are reported various levels of broken :/ Generally they can’t install, so you have to copy an installation from Windows, then there are some that don’t load at all, some only load to splash screen, some do work after you patch their broken UI and manually copy some Windows DLL-s. So idk, you might get lucky with the specific program/version/feature combo you need, but it just sounds like a pain to me.

rabber,

Ya I can’t live without Adobe suite so same boat

Asafum,

What is O&O? I’m not to keen on jumping to Linux either, but I REALLY don’t like the idea of having recall active and having Microsuck know literally everything I do…

kazerniel,
@kazerniel@lemmy.world avatar

O&O Shutup10++ (theoretically works on 11 too)

Not sure what it can do on Home/Pro editions, I’ve only ever tried it on Enterprise.

Asafum,

That looks awesome, thanks for sharing!

Most of my time in Elden Ring has been 1) ogling at the landscapes going “Holy shit this is metal”, and 2) bravely running away.

Sebastrion,

What? How else i’m supposed to play it?

@Toribor@corndog.social avatar

Bravely running away is the quintessential FromSoft experience. The ultimate flex on enemies is to not even bother attacking them and just rolling to dodge occasionally while you grab items and run past them to the next checkpoint.

vxx, do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

Battlefield One

I don’t play it anymore, but when I did with a friend, I broke the healer mechanic.

I always stayed with my friend and our team, and instead of a weapon I was carrying a syringe.

In a Match I ressurected up to 70 people, making us pretty much an undying army.

I would always top the leader Board in any game Mode.

A couple months in I saw copycats, but nobody came close to my insanity.

The next Iterations of the game sucked for me because they nerfed the mechanic extremely.

I think I’ve seen a video showcasing this tactic. Dude with a Syringe just running around, picking up his teammates as soon as they downed. It was great :D

Caesium, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I’ll stick with 10 until steam itself stops supporting it I think

The only thing stopping me from really considering Linux is because I’m a Destiny player
