Tiny Train | Adding Steam Friends | What can I play with my left hand only?

Bump!

boop

Several Puzzle/Logic games can be played with one hand, if you enjoy those. Like Hexcells, Tametsi, nonogram games, etc.

Wishing you speedy healing, smoother nights, and a Steam Deck in your future. Keep going - you’re building a life worth smiling about.

Don't lie, clearly you just wanna know what games you can play while jorkin it

Thanks for the train! I hope your hand gets better soon.
I recommend that you don't come to the US until after the civil war.

Charles P. Railway would be proud of your progress.
Bump :)

Good job on repaying your debts, little by little! I've been indebted for a few years after having to borrow for grad school, and it's not a pleasant feeling. But working your way through those is a great accomplishment, it requires discipline but it seems you're managing so congratulations!

If you don't mind me asking, where are you located now? I spent 7 of the last 8 years living in the US and it definitely wasn't for me. I always try to challenge people to think twice or thrice before deciding to move there - if you expect a welcoming place, that US is gone. Still might work if you just want to raise a lot of money quickly and don't mind living in a very isolating place for a foreigner, but if I could go back in time, I would pick a different country. Offering my two cents as a point of view, but if you (or anyone else reading this) thinks differently, feel free to post your point of view as well instead of simply fighting mine and my lived experience.

As for games playable with the left hand? Slay the Spire is the first that comes to mind. There are no timed events in the game, so you can take all your time with it. On a PC, it's fully playable mouse-only for instance, and I guess it can also be played with keyboard only but that sounds a lot harder to me hehe

Anyway, good luck with your endeavors!

Hey! good luck with that recovery man.

If i had to think about a game that could only be played with one hand i'd probably pick Pureya its a game kinda like ufo 50 but with minigames back to back that only need 2 buttons to play. its made by the same spanish studio that did "majotori" and "golfing over it" wich are also worth checking out since the controls could also be used with just one hand. :)

Most one handed games like point and clicks seem to be mouse only, which considering you broke your right arm might be a bit of a challenge. (I’m left handed and can’t use the mouse in my left hand lol)
Maybe the game Before your Eyes could be a good one, since you control it by blinking!

friend request sent, I don't typically like to say too much when people talk about their personal lives, I don't know, I feel it's more of a situation of "I know I'm doing good and I'm happy about myself, I don't need you to tell me"?? Short of thing? Like it has an opposite effect? Sounds weird when I say it out loud, Maybe I'm wrong, but anyways. Sounds to me that you're doing a great job, especially as a husband and dad and wish you a speedy recovery :)

For one handed games, like you mentioned, Visual Novels and games from genres with simple controls are your best bet. Some good picks, from the ones you haven't played, are the house in fata morgana, scarlet hollow and subsurface circular. Or maybe Full Metal Daemon Muramasha if you can get it on Jast USA or GOG.

I broke my handle a few years ago and found myself with the same question. The solution I found: Point & click ^^
I hope you get better asap. Courage :)

Bump

You can play all the games that just need mouse OR keyboard ! :p
Then it depends on your subjective tastes.

From your backlog (as i don't want to cause you more debt) :

• there is for example Crypt of the necrodancer, this one is keyboard only.
• Beholder 1 is mouse only, same for Orwell. And ofc the amazing One finger death punch 2 !
• Then you've ofc all the point'n'click. For example you've Detective Grimoire in backlog that is really funny if you need some laugh.
• I didn't notice any in your backlog except the old but great Civilization 3, but there are also all strategy / tactic games, turn-based like Civilization or real-time like Company of Heroes.

Ah and wish you a quick recovery ! Glad you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and well done for being an awesome dad.

I wish you all the best, getting well ASAP and lot of luck, luck and yet more luck since it can fix every problem. Also awesome to know you are not alone! :)
Thanks for the giveaways!

Recently I've been playing Forza Horizon 5 a lot and for most of the driving (with automatic gearbox) you can use WASD plus space for handbrake. You likely won't be winning online races, but everything else is doable.

Why would you even contemplate moving to the US?
Not just because of the current situation but also the financial doom called Healthcare, or lack thereof.
What do you think will happen to you financially if you get more kids or health issues happen?
And if you two are serious of moving somewhere else eventually, don't get a fishtank!
Save your money, you will need it.
Regardless, good luck to you 3!

Congratulations on your work on your debt, and specially your baby. You could use the time to read quite a few visual novels.

"I was never taught proper financial decision-making", I think no one gets it taught? Also I think it can't be taught... You can say don't buy this and that because if you do x,y,z and you can't because x,y,z... But people think with feelings so it's a matter of chance if they get it or not... (or like addicts reach the point when change is needed to really understand)
There's this youtuber Caleb Hammer who does a show called Financial Audit (in America) and you can see how illogical and based on feelings people are about finances/spending....

I have family from Norway. A lot of Norwegians speak English. She was taught some time around 4th grade. When I visited as a kid, I didn't have a lot of trouble. Also, the language isn't as bad to learn as say...English. 😀 So learning a few simple things won't be bad

I played Civilization 5 a lot one handed, when stuck under a sleeping baby, with a mouse. But you couldn't change the money for trades. And...Banner Saga I think.

Bump!

Bump!

I'm glad you and the family are in a better place now ^_^ HOG/P&C would be good one handed too!

All the best to you and your young family! Keep fighting! :)

Assuming you're comfortable operating a mouse with your left hand, I'd say any mouse-only game without strict timing requirements would be a good choice. Point & click adventure games are an obvious choice, but there's also roguelite deckbuilders like Slay the Spire and Monster Train which are turn-based, so you can take all the time you need. If you don't like deckbuilders, there's also tactical roguelites like Into the Breach and Invisible Inc that are also turn-based and can be played solely with the mouse.

If you want something other than mouse-only games, many logic puzzle games are turn-based and have simple control schemes which only require directional input which can be done with the WASD keys, and the only additional keys you need are maybe one or two (if any) actions keys plus Z to undo and R to restart. Having said that, basically any turn-based game with no time limit can be played with just the left hand, so turn-based RPGs fit the bill if you want something more 'epic', though it's likely gonna be unconventional with the default control scheme, but many games on PC offer customizable keybinds anyway, so perhaps you can adjust them so all keys are covered by your left hand.

These are just a few suggestions based on the games I've played. I'm sure there are many other great games out there that can be played by the left hand only. :)
