I’m looking something to take up the time I’d normally spend scrolling reddit.

Something that’s reasonable to play for 2-5 minutes or for over an hour.

My current go-to is Alto’s adventure or doing laps in Assetto Corsa Competizione.

    • vampire survivors

    • pokemon leaf green/fire red
    • zelda BOTW (small chunks possible. Do one shrine, explore a bit. Search for some koroks.) runs beautifully on yuzu RPG:
    • Dark souls 1 Remastered(Because the game practically saves every second or two you are not in any way committed to play a long time)

    Dead Cells, Vampire Survivor, Loop Hero, Devil Daggers/Hyper Demon (more m+k games though), FTL, Into the Breach, Shovel Knight, VA11HAllA (or whatever, the cyberpunk bartender one), really any rogue like…

    I’ve been enjoying “Everything” for very mindless playing. It even has an “autoplay” feature - let the controls go and it will continue to play for you while you scroll the Fediverse! Not to mention all the amazing Alan Watts quotes that occasionally pop in.

    Chronicon is good but being an ARPG you’ll have sit down from time to time to update your build.

    It’s basically vampire surivors with long-term progression, except more active. My endgame was binding all skills to one button and bumrushing every area at like 6x speed, addictive enough I grinded for 100%

    Factorio. Once you get a hand of it you can work in small chunks here and there, or pour in hours and hours of time.

      I love Factorio so much. I find it’s pretty mindless with a few settings changed, like biters not being aggressive. But nuclear energy always makes my head hurt so I avoid it for as long as I can

    Honestly the beauty of the stream deck imo is that a lot of games become great for short play sessions when you have a convenient sleep function.

    I’ve been enjoying Peglin for when I only have 5-10 minutes between work meetings. If you have any fond memories of playing Peggle on XBLA then definitely check it out!

    I like playing 2048 if I need to kill time, though I’m not sure if it’s what you’re looking for.

    I solve sudokus while commuting to work. It’s a great feeling after 100 puzzles when you can solve a hard one you couldn’t for a long time.
