I'm looking for PC games that I can play while listening to podcasts- games that don't have engaging cut scenes or important dialogue, games that honestly don't require a lot of skill or thought.

I used to be really into things like Farm Frenzy, Rescue Team, hidden object games, that kind of thing. I got heavily into MMOs and stopped downloading casual games for a decade or so.

Now it almost feels like this sort of game isn't made anymore? Were they completely nuked by the existence of Gacha games, P2W, and anything that earns the dev a constant income stream? I'm happy to pay for a game once, but I can't be constantly buying booster packs.

I also don't want to play on mobile or on a console, PC Master Race here, haha.

@Fulthi @YourHeroes4Ghosts @spaceace @Sarcasimo Do you need to buy it from a particular source to use the mods on the Factorio website?

[–] Sarcasimo@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It shouldn't matter if you get it from Steam or GoG. The Factorio Mod Portal is hosted by the dev and integrated into the game menu. You can also manually install mods. (Something you'd have to do on a server if you hosted your own Factorio server)

I don't know, I just bought it on steam but I never messed around with the mods. Sorry

Not sure personally, but I bought on Steam and mods work perfectly fine on that. For Windows and Steam Deck both.
