Clonk Endevour is not my favorite game, but I played it a lot with friends when I was younger. You can play with 2 or even more people, with just a monitor and a keyboard! Also it’s so old it should run on any potato.
edit: real answer is Slay The Spire
edit2: ah shit now all of a sudden all the good indie games I played pop up in my head. Project Kat I enjoyed. Synthetik was awesome. Caves of Qud hasn’t been mentioned yet (didn’t play it much though).
I do believe people should have the right to spent their money however the f they want, but this becomes extremely problematic if you don’t at least regulate their spending behavior, either directly or indirectly.
So okay, now you have a society full of hopeless addicts, but at least nobody has to starve. Sound kinda… dystopian if you ask me
I immediately recognized that scene, it’s the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn’t count lol).
Back then the Ubisoft formula was still fresh and games made with it were actually a ton of fun.
Yes, a Steam Deck is a viable alternative to a budget gaming PC. But if you would want to buy a dock and peripherals and keep it docked most of the time I’d say go with the PC.
For me personally, the biggest plus of a Steam Deck was that I didn’t have to get peripherals (because my living situation is a bit complicated at the moment). And they’re dirt cheap, got a used LCD512 GB one for 320€.
edit: I own a laptop too. If I didn’t, I would’ve gotten a new one
I usually only find like 2-3 interesting games out of 200, but the ones I did find were pretty sweet. Sometimes you’re not lucky and exclusively play trash.
I mainly enjoy 2 types of games, ones with replayabilty (Stellaris, Rimworld, Slay The Spire, Roguelites in General, some RPGs) and short to medium single player games which I usually only play once. If you don’t like the second category, my recommendation is definitely the wrong approach, yeah
Limit Internet usage and avoid games and other entertainment for a few days, then go on itch.io and just play whatever. Not because it looks cool, not because it’s popular. Just anything.
