Please recommend me games in which:
I can have music/podcast on the background
I can alt+tab and do other stuff whenever I want
And ideally but not really needed:
That I can play without a mouse (using my laptop's touch pad)
That have some exploration or building components
That I can find easily
I really didn't want to make a new thread for this but I found nowhere to ask
Other urls found in this thread:
Yea Forums doesnt like these threads. I was trying to get recommendations for some games to play but got nothing and thread died in line 20 min
please respond
where should I ask then?
Stardew Valley.
osrs meets 100% of your criteria, if you pay for it at least
thats a good question
civ 5
SpaceChem
Minecraft/Terraria
Poker, as long as you know how to manage your bankroll
Boku no Pico.
Go and ask people at reddit and take your 3dpd instathots with you
It's crazy seeing this and knowing this is when and where she contracted brain eating amoeba.
FTL
Anything turnbased lol
Will give it a try
thanks
I've played a lot of civ5 already, but thanks anyway, it was a good suggestion
will look into it
Is Terraria good? I've felt tempted to get it but also it looks rather simplistic.
Poker is boring as fuck dude, I used to play it with my pals and I convinced them to never do it again. And it's not like I lost all the time.
All weebs should burn
idk who she even is tBh
maybe try minesweeper or solitaire
medeival total war 2.
AoE 2 is pretty good.
runescape
sims
minecraft (you can still play survival but peaceful difficulty will make it more afk)
little inferno
minesweeper/solitair
garrys mod
theres a bunch of passable idlegames if you dont completely hate them
probably some of the cardgames if they have single player
Space Rangers
Not ideal for a laptop but Elite: Dangerous and Euro/America Truck Simulator are ideal for podcasts.
Stronghold is also a great chillout game but it'd be a crime not to listen to the 11/10 OST.
Studying for the bar exam too, OP?
Already burned it, with the Stainless Steel 6.4 Mod. Still the best TW ever made.
>listening to podcast while playing a game while doing something else
jesus christ you fucking zoomer
try to focus on one thing for once and you might actually get something done one day
>garrys mod
what can you do in garrys mod in singleplayer?
>listening to bar exam prep lectures without doing anything else
Not OP, but fuck that. Even at 1.5x speed this shit sucks.
>Truck Simulator
absolutely hated that you can't go over speed limit tBh
build contraptions
spawn AI into weird combat situations
generally dick about for a couple hundred hours
That's why books exist
You can go through material at your own speed
>he has never played Football Manager while listening to audiobooks and posting on /trb/
lmao kys
kys kike
>he has never played Football Manager
good for him
Space Engineers or maybe Astroneer.

The Witness.
-Bitesize yet challenging puzzles.
-No music
-Audio logs with subtitles, that don't matter to the story, so you can just as well ignore them entirely.
-No real story anyway.
-No time limits, save for a few time sensitive puzzles.
-No building components, but there is a satisfying sense of completion, as you "fill out" all the area's puzzles.
-On steam playstation and xbox.
It's only a puzzle game, but it can last you up to 50 hours, depending on how much you complete. I can personally attest that it's great for zoning out with podcasts, because I've done it many nights.
Maybe try XCOM 2
Fallout 2
Dominions 5. It's on steam.
Have you tried Battle Brothers? It's a turned based strategy game where you control a mercenary company in a low fantasy setting. There's no large campaign to complete, you are sort of just throw into the world and pick up quests in villages or cities until you are strong and rich enough to explore the wilderness without having your mercenaries desert you due to a lack of food or not being paid. In the wilderness you can run into big boss type monsters to take on, or big enemy settlements. This all comes with better potential loot for your mercenaries of course.
Dragon Cliff
Any Paradox game
WoW
XCom games
Stardew Valley
Civ V
>alt tabbing in the middle of the game to do other things
>listening to anything besides the sound coming otu of the game while playing vidya
Eat shit, you underage fuck.
I'm 27, I don't have so much time to be so invested in games now. Sometimes I do, and I play games in which I need all senses put into it and stuff, but sometimes I want a more relaxed gameplay.
Very bad example, the audio will bug out if you alt+tab during turns and certain stuff like attack noises, movement commands and event notifications will play permanently on loop - loudly. Even if you go back to menu it will not stop until you restart the entire game.
based
OP here, I used to play Civ 5 and I never had this problem.
tab a lot while the AI is doing their turns, only happens if you use all addons
I'm a fucking idiot and I had not considered emulators until now. Thanks.
>console physical
>download code for full game
OH NO NO NON ONONONONONONONO
BeamNG.drive
Undertale
Just alt-tab when there aren't any units on screen. Pan over the fog of war or one of the poles and it'll be fine
or hit esc before alt tabbing like a sane person tBh
honestly no mans sky fits those requirements but hard to recommend giving them $60
Doesn't that pause the turn? It's nice to alt-tab out for long AI turns
terraria is good
>Is Terraria good? I've felt tempted to get it but also it looks rather simplistic.
it's alright, pretty repetitive though
playing minecraft with a touchpad is a nightmare and terraria is also kind of problematic without good precision
factorio with enemies disabled
OP here, I love NMS and It's perfect for that kind of gameplay. But to be honest you've done almost everything in 100 hours. Waiting for the autumn update to get back to it though.
satisfactory seems like it could be fun, not sure how much the creatures cause trouble or if you can disable them
Tibia
Age of Wonders 3!
>CiV-like Campaign Map with strong focus on fantasy exploration and Turnbased Combat.
>No Voice-Instructions or anything important that you couldnt read off the screen, just have a podcast and turn the battle effects to 30%
>Tab out at any moment as nothing bad can happen
>Little fiddly but easily to control with your touchpad
>Build Towns, Cities, Empires, Armies and RPG-like Heroes
>Runs on a Toaster
>Very complex and strategical once you get used to it
Stardew Valley
Minecraft
Subnautica (not sure how important sound is, guessing pretty important since it's underwater, but consider it an extra challenge)
Stranded deep
Escaping the pacific
No man's sky
>BeamNG.Drive
seconded, driving is the best way to listen to podcasts etc. and this is the next best thing No reading to distract you, just the open road
caves of qud
most roguelikes actually
It's neckbeardy but I listen to most of my shit while playing those
how big are the maps in Age of Wonders III? If they can be as big as Civ’s large maps, it’ll be great.
Every MMO
Warframe
They can be pretty damn big and even have underground layers just as big, efficiently doubling them in size. It's typically not what you wanna play it on. Unlike CiV AOW is not an entire empire sim but a small empire sim on top of a very very complex tactical fantasy battle wargame. The turnbased battles are just as important as mastering the campaign map.
It also has 2 Expansions which are really great and they both add massive amounts of new content and actual well written single player campaigns with new folks, mechanics, buildings, events e.t.c.
can you alt+tab off warframe?
can you alt+tab off most MMOs?
>can you alt+tab off most MMOs?
yes, you can alt+tab out of almost every game.
Dwarf Fort is all that
Whore
Interesting, how about that Age of Wonders: Planetfall game on PS4, coming out soon, is it AoW III + expansions or something? I take it would play fine considering you said it runs on toasters too
Yes but in MMOs sometimes you'd risk your character getting BTFOd if you alt tab
>implying whores are bad
Here this is the largest map you can create in the game, I placed one ocean tile in each corner of the map and marked its width so you can look at it proportionally. This map has an underground layer which is exactly the same size as the overground layer. Underground layers can have additional underground layers but the only time I ever saw that was in the single player campaign, never on a player made map. It feels enroumous and quite overwhelming in the beginning, just jump into the singleplayer story if you actually wanna pick it up. You will soon notice how drawn out fights can be already on small maps.
not him but it looks good and I dont even like fantasy shit
nice, thanks bud
Age of Wonders: Planetfall will have samey gameplay to the old titles with a modern UI and noice graphics. Just that it will be scifi fantasy and not medieval fantasy like usual. It's a complete sepperate title tho, a fresh take on the formula.
You should try out AoW 3 + Expansions first tho, if you find yourself hating that you will certainly hate Planetfall too.
OP here.
I want to thank you all for your suggestions, I have 30 game names written down in a piece of paper and I'll look into them tomorrow.
Keep them coming though.
minecraft
I like to build stuff with the conquest reforged mod but the rest of the game is pretty meh once you beat the dragon once. Also last update was pretty shit.
Keep an eye out for planetfall then. It will be still fantasy but considerably less high fantasy and more science fiction.
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Go on twitter and take some screencaps, dont forget to use the word TRANNY multiple times.
i guess that depends on how long you afk and what mmo. If you know that youll be stepping away in a minute just move yourself to a road or something similar where you are out of enemy agro range
are you sure this would work? I mean, this is a pretty fast board
Elite is max comfy just pulse waving in a planetary ring while listening to a podcast.
I love that hair
Such nice volume
>Volume
are you a grill?
OSRS
dorf fort
rimworld
Definitely this based on your description.
But I don't have a reddit account. And there are so many subreddits I wouldn't know which one is the suited for asking this. I don't want to be downvoted, user.
>I don't want to be downvoted
Kill yourself zoomer
heh get baited newfriend
I see summer came early this year
Can't you just make another account anyway?
why is the cat retarded?
path of exile
Unlike the guy I replied to, the poor cat is not pretending.
Granblue kinda fits, but you need mouse if you want to play competitively.
Any 4x game that you can pause meets these requirements. I like stellaris but paradox are jews so it's not the cheapest game.
Money isn't a problem when he can just pirate almost any game if he knows where to get them to be honest.
He's a zoomer, he doesn't know shit.
OP here. Zan**x or Fit**rl should have them. No**eam is shit but may have it too. Stop projecting, newfriend.
my one issue with osrs is the $11/month price tag. Playing f2p sucks and it seems like trying to do it all with the 2 week passes with in game money is going to make it feel way to much like a job
once you get members its trivial to make enough money for bonds, it's basically an $11 intro pricetag for the entire time you play the game
Pretty much every current AAA open world game is perfect for this, the writing is lazy garbage, so you can just blow through cutscenes. Rage 2 has been perfect for this, mindless combat, lots of driving, terrible story.
old school runescape is the only answer
OSRS is shit and you guys only play it for the nostalgia
i was playing iron man so that makes it way harder to make money. I guess i could pay for another money and just quit ironman. From what i heard in the osrs general though you will need to dedicate a few hours a week to making money to pay for bonds rather than just doing whatever, which makes it feel jobby
Try elder scrolls online or wow, whichever one you haven't tried yet
>OSRS is shit and you guys only play it for the nostalgia
i started playing it when the mobile version came out because compared to the other mobile games on the market its a masterpiece. The quests are generally pretty good and if you like that humor you will enjoy it. I can't think of a single quest that is standard mmo kill 10 rats and come back trash.
>ironman
why torture yourself like that, it's a damn mmo, and you can make plenty of money by just doing herb runs every once in a while, which take a few minutes
Poker is boring? I guess you weren't playing with real money
I was, I don't get what people see in it. Wait to get good cards or bluff it, don't risk it if you don't have to blind bet, etc. Repetitive as fuck too.
my friend was doing it and i decided to follow suit because otherwise everything seems so meaningless. I have to say being in the wood cutting guild and seeing every other person with all their levels lower than mine have a dragon axe just because they traded on the marketplace does make that feel lame as fuck. Being able to get almost every item with minimal effort just because of money kind of robs the game of any sense of satisfaction. Getting the purple cursed armor was a significant undertaking as getting an acorn took me forever, but getting the armor felt like an actual accomplishment compared to buying the shit on marketplace
i also dont find poker interesting. But i dislike gambling as ive never had the luck for any of it and just seems like a waste of money compared to other forms of entertainment
>ive never had the luck
Poker isn't luck
you can count cards but luck is still very important
>using touch pad
nigger just get a mouse.
it isnt all luck but there is still luck involved. Not to mention even if you are good its not hard for someone to come along thats better and take your money. It's not a way i have any interest in spending my money
why listen to them if your not going to listen?
you're thinking of blackjack, poker more refers to games texas hold em
No mouse hmmmm
Then maybe darkest dungeon, the crash trilogy on an emulator, any jrpg with turn based combat
Metal slug maybe
I did say it was not essential. I can use a mouse too, it's just easier for travelling if I have a game that doesn't require it. But it's not a problem, I can take my GXT with me.
Slay the spire fits all of your conditions handily. If you like the game, you'll get hours and hours out of it but you might be weak-minded and give up after ascension 5 or something
Thanks for your replies, Yea Forums.
Good night.
