Long story short, I was trying to make some pork buns and it ended with the tip of my thumb being sliced off, after hospital visit and six stitches and back. But I’m kind of bored out of my mind. Can’t do the steam deck. Can’t do really anything with a controller. I have a large library of games, most of which I haven’t even played. Anything that might be good for me? I could always put some hours into rimworld
Which thumb? If your left thumb is still functional, when I had a hand injury in middle school, I got to be really good at Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2. If your dominant/mouse hand is still functional, anything mouse-driven ought to do, and that covers a wide range of genres from CRPGs to adventure games to 4X games and more.
Yeah non dominant hand got cut, fortunately, it’s damn near finals so that might have been bad
Civilization 7 only requires one hand using a mouse, which includes the Switch 2.
Vampire Survivors really only requires one hand, and if you use steam input to remap some buttons you can play it entirely with one hand.
For instance on the left hand side, since you navigate with the joystick, I set the d-pad to mirror the abxy buttons, and set L2 to be R1 which let’s you increase the game speed after you unlock the function in game
God i wish I could map buttons on ps5
Steam Input is so fucking awesome, it really deserves so much more attention imo
Anything in this genre. Brotato and Deep Rock Galactic Survivor are great.
Its the game I boot up when the cat decides my arm is the only place that will suffice as a bed
Can’t do the steam deck.
You can, as long as the game works based on touch input only.
So games like Civ 5, Shadowrun, Slay The Spire, Mini Metro should be fine.
Have you considered pocket ball?
I ran out of tokens 😞
Huniepop
Fruit Ninja comes to mind.
Recommend games that can be played with a single cylinder that must be protected, if you know what I’m saying
Anything on PC with a mouse/keyboard, maybe with the spacebar remapped.
This was my immediate thought…tons of games that don’t need spacebar at all.
Might be fine with space bar as-is. I use the side of my thumb for the space bar, not the tip.
Five vs. One
Some other options.
If you have a joystick or wheel, flight Sims, space sims, racing games might be possible.
RTS games in single player mode (just play on an easier difficulty). Plenty of decent ones have been released in the last little while. Also, maybe 4x games, total war etc.
Digital Board Games might work too.
dance dance revolution, while wacking it.
Return of the Obra Dinn and the golden idol games would probably work. I think you could do everything with mouse clicks or hitting a few keys with your good hand, nothing is time based. Other puzzle based games might work too (lorelai and the laser eye, Blue Prince?)
Mostly 2D factory games, like Factorio could also be doable. Would be a little annoying, but it would work.
Dunno if you’ve seen Seance at Blake Manor, but it’s really fucking good.
It’s like Blue Prince + Golden Idol + Danganronpa
Thanks, looks interesting, added to the list.
Might not be in your library, but mouse only game I’ve been enjoying is beat cop.
80s love letter to cop games, in the style of papers please. Reviews are a little mixed, it is a particular game, and it’s 80s warts and all. On sale currently.
Turn-based?
