Diablo IV, for me. I love the Diablo series and just a bit ago, I sank 2 hours down to get my necromancer character up and set in Diablo II Resurrection. I have Diablo III and its expansion too, but they’re online only and I almost can’t be bothered to go through that. I’ve beaten it a long time ago.

And I really do want to get Diablo IV, but they’ve made that online-only as well. Like, I know I’m always online and everything but I do like to have that fallback where if I am without internet or I can’t afford internet for a time, I can play or watch things to bide the time over. I can’t do that with online-only games because it’s like being gated away from something you bought.

So everytime I look at Diablo IV, I just get a little depressed at times. Blizzard should do what D2R did, have an online character and have an offline character.

    Mouse-heavy games like Cities: Skylines, Sims 3, and other management games. Due to a chronic injury, I’m force to mainly play with a controller, and trying to play these games with a controller would be abysmal.

      Perhaps a decent touchpad would work better for you. You would only need to fondle the surface and lightly tap it with one or two fingers. But you should investigate in advance if the touchpad allows clicks via tapping, as e.g. some drivers don’t support the right click without pressing into the surface, which can be heavy on the wrist. Macbook touchpads worked great for me, being large, responsive, and easy to press.

      However, doing lots of scrolling with a touchpad could be rather inconvenient.

      If your issue is the position of the hand, you might be interested in vertical mouses, which would allow at least some cursoring, perhaps for more important use-cases. Personally I’m also using the Vimium addon for the browser to avoid the mouse on the web.

      Try the steam deck or wait for the steam controller! The touchpads work great once you get used to them!
