18 Cozy Games I've Played for Hours, Plus Fun Accessories (2025)

A random #gaming #console post:

I am a recent convert to a modded #SNES (thank you fellow #veteran and retro gaming community member) passed along to me, and been playing the hell out of the games that he passed along for "offsite #backup /#archival storage". I started looking for other ROMs for other games that I have, found some ROM packs, imported into #Hakchi2. Now I have a ton of ROMs but soooo many duplicates. I looked though the options/capabilities within Hakchi2 but I'm not seeing anything for detecting & purging #duplicates detect which ones do or do not have art, and other characteristics to help filter duplicates.

Am I missing something, or is this a manual process for cultivating your ROMs? Seems my limited understanding & experience with ROM sets created the mess I am trying to get my head wrapped around. As a casual gamer, I was looking to explore the different games that I never got to experience in the heyday; not sure what pre-made sets would be of benefit TBH.

So OMG down the #rathole I went - found the dat-o-matic and am getting the DAT file imported into #ROMcenter... I found a couple of decent vids on youtube that has me on a hopefully good path on getting these sorted, along with using universal ROM Cleaner as well as #ROMcenter. But I ended up spending all my time last night working on this rather than applying for jobs. 🤦‍♂️

Also that 1TB SSD in the laptop's data drive is now almost full with #ROMs & #ROM packs, so I have to get things filtered and deleted out.

Anyone else wrangled this challenge to success?

Not the best, not the worst—just okay.
Sometimes I win.
Sometimes I rage-quit.
But at least I show up.

If a game has a card game I dont like, detest, or just can't understand, my partner plays it for me to make my life easier.

That said, Qwent in Witcher 3 was amazing and I played the shit out of that. Never has a card game been that amazing, and the phone version failed to catch that magic.

No cars game needs insanely convoluted animations. Keep it simple and engaging.
