Yeah, but they're all NSFW

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 2 years ago (2 children)

what are you doing marking a post as nsfw, with a sus title, on the cats community

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 27 points 2 years ago

Playing games is not safe for work. Unless you work in the games industry

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

"why do you mark this nsfw"

literally a pussy photo

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s called “Pet the Cat”. There’s just one objective.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but then you gotta buy food, and litter, and vet visits, and toys, and scratch pads.

I tell ya. I miss when games weren't full of hidden microtransactions...

trackball

(as long as you don't mind hard-boiling an egg or pitting an avocado every time the ball wears out)

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've been using one trackball or another, usually a Kensington Orbit since they became available, for the majority of three decades; the only times I've had to buy a new one were when I needed more for extra computers or when new technology became available (such as when optical became a thing). I've never had a trackball ball wear out or even show signs of wear.

Actually, that's not 100% true. I did have one Orbit just stop consistently responding to input. The ball was fine, though; in fact, I'm pretty sure I still have the mouse and could just put the ball in a new unit.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mine still works, it's an old trackball my grandfather bought for himslef in the late 1990's.

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 2 points 2 years ago

I do believe the comment about the ball wearing out was what humans refer to as "humor"

[–] Chickerino@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

If the cat is on your wrist and not really on your fingers those will work, but if the cat's on your fingers then you're just as SOL. Even then you still need a bit of palm movement.

Original Dwarf Fortress

Bonus, it's free from the Bay12 website

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Sadly, not the Steam version. I hope we get all the keyboard controls back eventually. I think the mouse controls are great for some tasks, but it's objectively worse for many others that still aren't available in the Steam version.

Baldur's Gate 3

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you really want a suggestion, I’ve been addicted to Crypt of the Necrodancer. I just managed to beat all zones mode! Also, your cat is adorable.

[–] fishbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Additional suggestion: Cadence of Hyrule.

Real cool zelda flavored spin on crypt of the necrodancer, and it's a good bit more forgiving challenge wise.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Ah, Keychron. I see you're a man of culture.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Vampire Survivor

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

There's a number that can be played with just a mouse. Though looks like that's not an option.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

World of Warcraft can be played exclusively with the keyboard and exclusively the mouse!

Controller compatible games are also good for solving this problem. From Software makes all kinds of bangers in that department.

[–] Tartufo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Why do I have to immediately think of the "dancing mat Dark Souls" someone did? You for sure don't need your hands to play when you can just use your feet.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, did you just say notoriously difficult From Software games are good ones to play with only one hand? I mean, I know it's possible...

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well no, but yeah it's definitely possible lol. Some disabled gamers like HalfCoordinated learned to play that way.

What I meant is you wouldn't have to move that hand like with a mouse, just your fingers.

[–] natedog526@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

One Finger Death Punch

Any old racing game would do. Emphasis on "old", as modern non-arcade racing games are weird to play on keyboard.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

i loved that game so much. it's incredible how it slowly trains you to do better by like .02 seconds at a time. shout-out to chipzel for music that still bangs around in my head from time to time.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Love the avatar. 😆

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

this feels like the opposite of a problem

[–] porotoman99@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Any of the games in the Kingdom series.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 2 years ago

Gothic 1 was designed without mouse controls in mind. A fact that made it clumsy to control even back when it was new. But for this it's great. You can play it comfortably with one hand on the keys.

The cat is not gonna nap for long.

vampire survivors

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Patricks Parabox, Baba is You, or any other sokoban puzzle game, really

[–] Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Throw Void Stranger on that list. It's a fantastic Sokoban.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never heard of it, but thanks for that suggestion! I'll definitely check it out

[–] Okami_No_Rei@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It just released late last year, and it is one of the finest puzzle games I've ever played. It took me around fifty hours to get the ending, and I've got a folder full of notes and screenshots from putting together puzzles.

Go in blind if you can, and do your best to avoid spoilers if you need to look up any puzzle solutions. This game has more depth than Outer Wilds.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I just watched the first video on steam and I'm sold lol, it's on my wishlist now.

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I'll be real I expected an absolutely mangled hand

[–] viking@infosec.pub 1 points 2 years ago
[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I recommend getting a sliding keyboard tray under your desk and keeping a decoy keyboard up top.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Usually good advice. But in this case, the kitty is clearly more interested in cuddling with their human!

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Right and Down.

It's a very easy game to play, tough to get good rolls in.

Also the name are the controls.

There's also the sequel, Right and Down and Dice. Just in case there wasn't enough random in your rogue lite.

[–] rhadamanth_nemes@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

You can run the gw2 labyrinth train during Halloween one handed by rebinding keys to a Naga mouse.

[–] safesyrup@lemmy.hogru.ch 0 points 2 years ago

thronefall, you can play it with just your left hand.

Never mind this, I don't want some poor fool googling that
