Yeah, but they're all NSFW

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 51 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not to mention THAT CAT IS NAKED!

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Well, drat. You got me there.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

"why do you mark this nsfw"

literally a pussy photo

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year 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 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Chickerino@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year 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 1 year 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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

Vampire Survivor

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

One Finger Death Punch

this feels like the opposite of a problem

[–] tyler@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Love the avatar. 😆

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

[–] porotoman99@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Any of the games in the Kingdom series.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 1 year 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.

Most racing games

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

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

I'll be real I expected an absolutely mangled hand
