    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 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

    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.

    Not that Picross isn’t a game, but there are speedruns of Microsoft Excel. I’m not convinced something having a speedrun proves it’s status as a game.

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

    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. 😥

    Nonograms that take color into account (like Pic-a-Pix Deluxe) make a great game even better imho.

        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!

      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!
