    unrelated but if you wanna emulate persona 5 royal and add a 60fps mod, I confusingly spent 3 hours stumbling around last night fighting with my deck and learned how 😵‍💫

    Overcooked 1 – incredible game if you want a real challenge as a team, but it may put your friendship to the test.

    (Overcooked 2 is okay as a sequel but it’s laggy, it’s got long loading times, it has a confusing UX (good luck figuring out how to select your character), and is just overall less polished, so I wouldn’t recommend it.)

    Risk of Rain (original or returns, fuck 2)

    Magicka 1 or 2

    Hammerwatch (original only)

    Civ 4 or Civ 5 (fuck 6, and 7 doesn’t even have hotseat)

    Rivals of Aether (original is good, i haven’t played 2)

    Crawl. Has to be one of my fav couch games.

    Was this as simple as connecting over Bluetooth? I recently put a PC in my living room, but I’m currently using a PS controller. Would love to be able to lounge with split joy cons like I can on the switch.

      yeah! it used to be a little bit fiddly with installing custom drivers, but that’s all built into steam now. or if you’re not using steam, look up joycond (linux) or betterjoy (windows).

      Crawl.

      I hate that I can never get 4 friends in a room together, then even rarer to pay attention to this game long enough. The game is so fucking hype, as is the launch trailer.

    Gauntlet tends to be my go-to for these situations.

    There’s versions on Steam real cheap that run great on the deck. Not that emulation is hard but it can occasionally be a little janky so it’s nice to not have to worry about it. Tends not to be super sensitive to lag. It’s easy to pick up and learn. It’s fun to play as a one-off, but also fun for a regularly recurring experience too. You don’t need a full controller either- I often use my RetroBit Genesis controllers, but I’m sure a joycon would be fine.
