Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Solitaire, minesweeper, retro games, nethack, that pinball game from Windows 7
trying to draw perfect file selection rectangles around round objects on your desktop wallpaper.
Space Cadet Pinball?
PSA someone ported it to Linux. There's a Flatpack. You're welcome.
It's also available for Android, side load it now while you can
that pinball game from Windows 7
I think you mean from Windows 95...
Nope, space cadet pinball was from XP.

Factorio. It plays on my 2016 laptop and my steam deck pretty nicely.
Probably 90% of games that are 10+ years old will be playable.
For example search for "metacritic pc games 2013" etc and change the year.
Emulators for any game console from before the 3D era. NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis would all be good candidates. You'll have a ton of good games you can play any time.

loved ut2k4 on my k6-2 500 back in the day, box is still on my shelf, along with fable I
If you're able to get a good internet connection, you could run anything on Geforce Now's list. Not the most optimal gaming experience, but it can be satisfying enough.
To give something more specific I enjoy, try Backpack Hero. It's a roguelike on the easier side, built around making absurd combos.
I think let's game it out did one of his satisfactory abominations on gforce now, seemed pretty good from the video (could have been someone else like imkibitz/kibitz but iirc it was lgio)
Hollow Knight
