Sorry I haven't replied to anyone, life got a little crazy. I did not expect this many replies on lemmy! Thank you everyone, and I will be checking out a bunch of these! Thank you so much. :) I really appreciate it.

So, I hope this allowed, if not, I'll remove.

I have a small problem, y'all. I'm a filthy casual, and don't game often. But right now, due to a lot of very stressful things going on, I'm having trouble sleeping. I'd like a game I can play on the deck for an hour or two at night to get sleepy. Here's where the hard part comes in:

It's gotta be cheap (25 or less)

It needs to be not-stressful to play, as in, it works well on the deck, with no fiddling, because I am a dumb and don't understand things

I don't actually know what kind of game I want. I don't care for FPS games, I don't have the time/patience/money for online multiplayer stuff, and I'm not super in super heavy action games.

I like puzzles, platformers, laid back games. Open world is great. Very small games are fun, but I need something that I can play pretty much every night for a while. I loved portal and the Stanley parable, but I'm burnt out on TSP and I've played both portal games several times. I need something with a little more longevity.

Can anyone help with this not at all reasonable request?

Maybe not a popular opinion, but how about No Man's Sky? It's where i chill out - just ignoring story and quests and go exploring, collecting resources, literally picking flowers and taming an animal to see it run around.

That or just go into the big empty space and shoot rocks. Both are basic things but i find it meditative. Get some chill music going...

How's the performance on Steam Deck? I used to play it on PC but would like to get back into it.

[–] NabeGewell 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

All low 40fps 10w 700mhz, FSR 2 on performamce. Anistropic filtering 4.

It can most def do way better, but I want minimum fan noise. Doing 2+ h this way.

EDIT: Actually idk if it's around 2h, might have been more, I've been playing on charger most of the time and cant test right now
