	5 --[ Checking out gaming on OpenBSD
	6
	7 The last few weeks I have been on a bit of a gaming binge, work has been
	8 quite full-on so at the end of the day I have been relaxing with a few
	9 games. OpenBSD has a fantastic resource for finding games that work
	10 called playonbsd [0]. The best thing about this is they provide the
	11 database used for the list over on GitHub [1], this has led to some very
	12 nice CLI tools being made for it. By far the best tool created I have
	13 come across is by Hakadan called pobsd-rs [2], it's how I have found so
	14 many great games.

	17 My go-to game has been Tales of Maj’Eyal (tome4) [3] which is
	18 a roguelike game, you can explore randomly generated dungeons and follow
	19 a main questline to progress through the story. There are so many
	20 characters builds you can create there is always something new to try
	21 out.

	24 As a quick pick-me-up game I have been playing the terminal game Curse
	25 of War [4], it's a strategy game where you play as a country's overall
	26 commander must defeat other countries. No major updates have been
	27 released since 2013 but a has had a few tweaks over the years. I could
	28 find no packages for it however a simple git clone and make produced
	29 zero compile issues on OpenBSD or Alpine Linux.

	32 It is such a simple game with basic controls and goals but I find it
	33 a perfect game for playing as a quick pick-me-up. I also found an old
	34 youtube video [5] about it from years ago that might be worth a watch to
	35 see if it's your kind of jam and get a better understanding of the game.

	38 OpenBSD has some great options available for games, checkout out the
	39 resources below if you are interested in a bit of downtime.
