    XCom and XCom 2 can be played entirely with the mouse. Minor typing if you want to name your soldiers, but nothing requires quick reflexes. Everything is turn based.

    There’s an older breakout style game on steam called Shatter that can be played entirely with the mouse and has a banger soundtrack and neat visual style.

    Emulation opens up a lot of options for old school turn based games. RPGs, turn based strategy. Any of the Pokemon games gen 1-3 can be played one handed with some clever button mapping. Any game made to use just the Wii-mote as a pointer would also work, but I don’t know those off the top of my head.

    You might want to look into one handed controllers, or something like the FLIR USB dongle that you can use to map IR TV remote signals to keyboard button presses. Just need to use a remote that doesn’t already control something.








  • Lemmy is small and still somewhat insular, so certain topics tend to get more content than others. You can solve that issue by blocking what you don’t want to see (by community or by user), and most importantly: participate by posting content yourself.

    We don’t have anywhere near the amount of users that you can treat this place entirely like reddit and just expect the content to just come to you.

    Edit: Also, if you don’t like how a community is run here, there’s most lilely another version of it on another instance with different community mods. There’s a ton of “ask lemmy” communities out there if you don’t like lemmy.ml’s moderation style.

    The tradeoff for no ads and no corporate incentives is that you have to put in just a little bit more personal effort to curate the experience you want.
