       +--[ Checking out gaming on OpenBSD
       +
       +The last few weeks I have been on a bit of a gaming binge, work has been
       +quite full-on so at the end of the day I have been relaxing with a few
       +games. OpenBSD has a fantastic resource for finding games that work
       +called playonbsd [0]. The best thing about this is they provide the
       +database used for the list over on GitHub [1], this has led to some very
       +nice CLI tools being made for it. By far the best tool created I have
       +come across is by Hakadan called pobsd-rs [2], it's how I have found so
       +many great games.
       +
       +
       +My go-to game has been Tales of Maj’Eyal (tome4) [3] which is
       +a roguelike game, you can explore randomly generated dungeons and follow
       +a main questline to progress through the story. There are so many
       +characters builds you can create there is always something new to try
       +out.
       +
       +
       +As a quick pick-me-up game I have been playing the terminal game Curse
       +of War [4], it's a strategy game where you play as a country's overall
       +commander must defeat other countries. No major updates have been
       +released since 2013 but a has had a few tweaks over the years. I could
       +find no packages for it however a simple git clone and make produced
       +zero compile issues on OpenBSD or Alpine Linux.
       +
       +
       +It is such a simple game with basic controls and goals but I find it
       +a perfect game for playing as a quick pick-me-up. I also found an old
       +youtube video [5] about it from years ago that might be worth a watch to
       +see if it's your kind of jam and get a better understanding of the game.
       +
       +
       +OpenBSD has some great options available for games, checkout out the
       +resources below if you are interested in a bit of downtime.
