Balatro is the objectively correct choice.

The Steam Deck is just a Linux PC, you can absolutely mod games on it!

I’m playing modded Slay the Spire a lot on mine.

I guess the level of scariness is subjective, at least from what I’ve read not everyone seems to agree that it’s very mild :P But I’ll definitely play it eventually, the base game is one of the best games I’ve ever played.

My backlog and my library are huge so I’ll choose a few (in no particular order):

• Baldur’s Gate 3
• Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
• Inscryption
• Hades
• Hollow Knight
• Outer Wilds DLC (I’ve been putting it off because it’s supposedly scary)
• Stray
• Little Kitty, Big City
• Monster Train
• Moonstone Island

First time seeing this but you got me, now I really want to press that button. Why am I so easily manipulated?

It’s so much fun to watch other people figure things out. It’s the closest we can get to playing the game again.

It’s nothing like that. You can already trade currencies between players. This just means that you can buy someone’s listed offer with one click instead of whispering 100 people hoping someone will respond and trade with you. Players have been asking for a feature like this for a long time and the announcement has been received extremely positively.

Plus, they’re only adding it to the next temporary league (which is like a season). They said the Q&A that the intention is to keep it afterwards but if it for some reason completely fucks up the economy they still have an out.

It can be played pretty casually. A run usually takes around an hour but you don’t have to play it in one go. And on the base difficulty it’s pretty approachable. You definitely don’t have to play 500 hours to enjoy it. But you can if you want to :)

Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

Note that MAUI doesn’t officially support Linux.

But there are third party alternatives like Uno Platform or Avalonia UI that do.

Very excited about this! The new character looks really cool too!

The Steam page also has some gameplay screenshots. It looks surprisingly similar to the first game, but as long as there’s enough new stuff I don’t mind.

I haven’t used Python since around the time when type hints first became a thing so I might be completely wrong here, but isn’t this because Python just generally ignores type hints? If you ran a static type checker like mypy over this it would complain right?

Also, if you actually did anything with the list that you couldn’t do with a bool (e.g. len(value)), it would throw an error too because Python is actually pretty strict about types, just only at runtime. That’s why it’s usually considered to be strongly typed, although people don’t seem to agree what exactly that’s supposed to mean.

Isn’t Python already strongly typed?

I’ve found some and it sucks if the one game that doesn’t work well is one you play a lot. For me it’s Trackmania. It works some of the time but often breaks. It seems like the issue isn’t with the game itself but with Ubisoft Connect, which is pretty shit even on Windows. Very annoying.

For a few seconds I was extremely confused why one would need a tool like this for the game Celeste.

I thought the same thing but it sucks because I really want a new F-Zero but I can’t see myself playing this a lot. It’s fun for a little bit but just too chaotic for me.

• Patrick’s Parabox is one of my favourite puzzle games. Gets pretty crazy with recursion.
• Baba Is You, another popular puzzle game. I found it frustrating after a while but maybe that’s just me. And when you don’t get stuck it’s super fun.
• Sokobond is another sokoban game, but you said you like puzzle games and these lend themselves well for keyboard only play. Pretty chill overall but I found a few of the later levels pretty difficult. I also like how every level tells you a fact about the molecule you’re building.
• Thomas Was Alone is a classic. It’s been a while since I’ve played it but I think it’s playable with keyboard only. It’s a puzzle platformer, so you need at least some timing (not sure whether that violates your “no responding quickly” requirement) but it’s not very stressful. It also has great narration.
• Stardew Valley. Not for everyone, but the people who enjoy it often play it for hundreds of hours. I haven’t tried it but I’m pretty sure you can play it with keyboard only. You might need to rebind some keys and it might sometimes be suboptimal (e.g. can’t place items away from your character without a mouse) but shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.
• I’d also recommend checking out some classic games on emulator. Older controllers don’t have that many buttons so you can easily bind everything in a way that is easily reachable by one hand on a keyboard. I was thinking of Pokémon specifically but I’m sure you could make it work for a lot of games.
• A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build. Slightly frustrating controls (and there’s no undo button) and a bit short but otherwise fun. I also saw on SteamDB that it recently had a price increase from 10€ to 15€. I think I paid €2.50 for it on sale. So I’d say definitely only buy this if it’s at least 70% off.

A lot of people have mentioned Slay the Spire and it’s one of my favourite games, but I’m pretty sure that you can’t play it with just the keyboard. Controller could work one handed but it’s probably a bit too finnicky. It’s an amazing mouse only game though if you ever need to rest your other hand. Or just as a general recommendation.

This doesn’t really match you criteria, but if you’re open for something a bit different, I’d also want to recommend Trackmania. It’s a precise racing game that many people play on keyboard (including myself). I press the brake button with my other hand but you can easily play with just WASD too. I recommend rebinding the brake to space though for easier access. You don’t directly interact with other players, you only race against the clock. You can play the campaign for free (25 tracks and they change every three months).

Wow really? I like some of the new stuff they’ve shown like mixed-use zoning but this might be a dealbreaker for me. If I can’t build a nice city I don’t really see the point of the game.
