I remember that the dev of Legend of Grimrock added an option for movement with the mouse because a disabled gamer wanted to play. Maybe that second friend should check that and the 2nd game out.
Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying…
Yeah, for PC they’ll probably have to grit their teeth and power through the discomfort. An alternative is getting a hand in some old emulated games. Anything from the NES era can be mapped to 4 movements + 4 buttons (start, select, A, B), which on a keyboard could be WASD + Q, E, R and F. Dunno how to set something similar on a Deck.
So left hand only games… driving games should work(enjoying NFS heat, atm), turn based games and isometric RPGs (plenty of those, depends on preferences… Balatro, slay the spire, XCOM, disco Elysium, etc… I could make a list if needed).
Telltale games like the wolf among us and stuff
Vampire survivors and all the similar games (halls of torment, brotato, soulstone survivors, etc)
If it’s more permanent show them an Azeron Cyro at www.azeron.euIt’s a mouse with a thumbstick, you can play almost any PC game with one hand. Comes in both right and left handed versions.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is basically just more BG3 (though with less production quality) so that should be right up your RPG-loving friend’s alley. Turn based combat and click-to-move lets you play the whole thing with just your mouse I’m pretty sure.
I don’t get how people do this. I obsessively play a single game until I exhaust everything possible to do in that game. Only then I move on to the next game. In 243 days I would probably have screenshots of 2 games total.
Part of it just that I like taking screenshots of my games. I’ll take a picture of anything I see that’s slightly interesting in games. So much so that I used to have a whole extra storage drive for all of them until I trimmed them down and limited myself lol
Oh, I get what you’re saying. I try to 100% things, or at the very least beat the story. But some times I’ll get burnt out easily or just won’t have the time for that specific game. Usually I try to balance a single player game and then multiplayer game with friends I’ll shuffle through whenever.
Right now my single player is Far Cry 3, and then my multiplayer rn is mostly Halo Infinite with my friend, though occasionally I’ll drag my PS3 over to my friend’s house for Splitscreen Minecraft (like today), so that could be included under multiplayer too.
This is me in Final Fantasy. I was in the middle of the ocean on a ship. Don’t remember what I did last or where I was going. Spent an hour going around the map killing things and still couldn’t figure it out.
For the friend who enjoys BG3, you can play Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous pretty much entirely with the mouse. The base game is 90% off on steam right now too.
Pathfinder has a massive learning curve compared to DnD 5e though, but that just means you can get an extra 50 hours of entertainment out of the game before you start the story, just by figuring out all the options when creating your character lol
Edit: whoops, seems like the steam spring sale just ended. The game is still absolutely worth it at full price though
WotR is so fucking good. But a quick PSA for anyone interested: Install the Bubble Buffs mod so you don’t have to spend 5 minutes casting your 37 buffs before every large fight.
A lot of people talking about the arcade component, but Tetris was the original shareware. It was a phenomena that spread through the USSR until it touched a British entrepreneur. It didn’t even keep score originally.
A shitload of early games only method of defeating the player was simply to be come more difficult or faster until the player ran out of lives, especially during the early years of video games in the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is not a feature unique to Tetris at all.
The only real difference is Tetris’ longevity, which has far outlasted the Soviet Union it originated from.
You know the russophobia/anticommunism/fashism is bad on Lemmy when literally nobody mentions it in 80+ comments and this nonsense is upvoted 700 times.
Yeah, russophobia is when out of 80+ comments no one mentions that author may have implied some bad connotations for Soviet Union. To decrease the amount of anticommunism under this fascist post, everyone repeat after me:
Through days dark and stormy, where great Lenin led us… and I forgot the lyrics.
