- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 5 days ago:
I work from home, so the last thing I want to do on my leisure time is sit at the same desk I’ve sat at for the last 8 hrs. So I lounge on the couch and play through my huge steam deck library. It is not a cheap device, to be sure. But I felt it was absolutely worth it for me.

Portables are the best for this, imo. Steam Deck or a used 3DS are my choices. The latter is easy to mod and play all sorts of games including the gigantic DS/3DS library.
I find both systems clutch for the suspend function. Lets you pick right back up where you were. I will say the 3ds is much better at this with clamshell design that suspends on closing the lid and it’s battery life in suspend is fantastic!
I also find stress relief games. Mindless 3rd person action games for me. Mad Max was great because I could drive around picking fights or crashing stuff. The Batman Arkham games and the Shadow of Mordor games are other great examples for me. I have not found any relaxing “cozy” games that work for me. Nothing has really grabbed my attention enough to stick with.

I hope there’s a deal exploit like buying 3 years of GP for $3-4/mo by using a VPN like I did about a year ago. If not, I won’t be subscribing and will likely get rid of my series X. I’ve been very disappointed in it anyway. Oh well, still have the original and the 360…
- Comment on I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used? 9 months ago:
Every madcatz controller I’ve used has been terrible. Xbox, Dreamcast, and PSone. Just terrible.
- Comment on Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller? 9 months ago:
The Dreamcast had a keyboard for Typing of the Dead, but iirc they also had one similar to the pic I posted for Phantasy Star online.

I tried the first game years ago and couldn’t click with it. I should try again.

VATS build with Deliverer pistol in FO4 is OP as hell. Almost to the point it’s boring.

Play all the fallout games. V.A.T.S. doesn’t care if you suck at aiming.
Only half joking. I played all but the 1, 2, and Tactics on steam deck and it worked out decently. Didn’t even bother using the touchpad aiming because it felt worse to me than the analog stick.
