Picross is underrated

People speedrun installing Linux. Is that a video game?

Anything can be a game if you want but your game should pause the timer during loading screens or people running NVMe will have an unfair advantage over those with HDDs.

I love nonogram type games. Nonogram Katana on Android has a lot of really cool user created puzzles.

I second Nonogram Katana! You can also play in the browser, but there's seriously soooo many puzzles to do.

And if that isn't enough of a game for some people, there's a whole guild system of resources and upgrades. Not to mention a dungeon mini-RPG they added in the last year

Picross is my life whenever a new one comes out on the switch. Hope they bring back the 3D picross at some point, those were a neat change, and I think the current gen of games have kinda stagnated :(

Picross 3d round 2 is legit one of my favorite games of all time. It's so insanely good it is criminal they haven't made another 3d one

I love love love picross. I have played so much of it over random various games and browser websites lmao

Picross 2 (1996; Game Boy) with the English translation patch is the tits.

Yes, currently playing Mario Picross on my Miyoo Mini and I have a blast

I’m still picking my way through the DS game, it feels like super chill Minesweeper 😁 Knowing there’s SO MANY MORE Picross games pleases me for when I eventually finish this one. Love that there’s translation patches for all the Japan-only entries now as well. Will end up throwing some of them on the trust Retroid Pocket 3!

I love Picross! It's so relaxing, but I haven't played in a while due to my 3DS power button being broken.

Surely the consolerepair sub has migrated here! Lol.

I was really sad the day I completed the last Picross S game on Switch. I had run out. I was playing in bed to unwind my brain at the end of the day. Found a clown on Steam that’s decent, but my Steam Deck is too big to play lying down in bed comfortably. 😥

I love it and if a Nes game wasn't a game... what is it?

I miss Pokémon Picross. That game was SO funnnn

You can still sideload it on a hacked 3DS, with a program you can have unlimited lives

I still have my 3DS XL in a closet which should have it installed. I'd love to play it on a different system though, I should look into some emulation options!
