So amongst other things I'm on a high dose of valium right now, and things are difficult. Gosh darn it even dressing is an effort (who has two thumbs, didn't get out of bed/her nightie this morning? And maybe will live in bed forever now? This girl).

My girlfriends I live with are all mile-a-minute getting ready to fly out for a work trip and I feel like a magikarp to their Sonic the Hedgehog.

My question is, what do I buy for my Steam Deck to keep me sane that requires the dexterity of a potato. Or at least, that I can take a loooong time to figure out. No pressure.

Just finished Final Fantasy VII Remake before all of this, and I'd love something far less intense and concentrate-y (even though God damn was that game pretty and incredible and yes I downloaded FFXV because I love the modern FF world now)

(Srsly, FF7 Remake was sublime)

I suck at games like minecraft and surviving crafting things.

Subnautica looks like a dream but...crafting and survival. I hate that genre. Love oceans and tropical. Hate crafting.

Someome help? Plz? <3 (And thanks, sorry for rambling here x)

Slay the Spire is a classic, it's all turn based, playing is easy but mastering it is a deep skill if that's something you're into.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a cool CRPG, the exploration is real-time and it switched to turn based for combat. Very big and large, and you can spend a lotta time running around learning lore rather than fighting if that's what you like.

Persona 5 Royal is a dream, again turn-based fighting, cute characters and story, very anime. Also long (took me like 90 hours) but never feels drawn-out.

If you like board games, I've recently got the Aeons End digital adaptation, and that's a lotta fun. It's co-op, but you can play "two-handed" (aka control 2 people) and it works pretty flawlessly, and the app is very good. If you really wanna be ambitious you can even play up to 4-handed, but I feel like that's too much brainpower for any sane person lol

@Chemslayer @followthewhiterabbit Persona is way too long. You could've played the game only with the five instead of the nine (in Royal even ten) characters you met in the game. But the gameplay is nice 👍

I'm with you on Persona 5 being too long. I've tried playing through it twice, but I ran out of steam shortly after the Futaba section both times. Too much filler for my tastes, although it's nowhere near as bad as FFXIV. My conclusion is that JRPGs just aren't for me.

Gotta agree to disagree with y'all, I enjoyed the slice-of-life aspects and pacing a lot. I don't normally do JRPGs so I can't compare
