Yeah, but they're all NSFW

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not to mention THAT CAT IS NAKED!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Well, drat. You got me there.

"why do you mark this nsfw"

literally a pussy photo

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

trackball

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months 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.

Baldur's Gate 3

Original Dwarf Fortress

Bonus, it's free from the Bay12 website

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months 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.

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.

Vampire Survivor

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

The cat is not gonna nap for long.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months 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.

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.

vampire survivors

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

this feels like the opposite of a problem

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Any of the games in the Kingdom series.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Most racing games

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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

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

I'll be real I expected an absolutely mangled hand

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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

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.
