The two most popular flavors of ice cream are both bean flavored.

This is my new aesthetic
The obvious answers are the games we endlessly replayed historically: Mario Kart, Goldeneye (VS mode), Halo (VS), Smash Bros.
If you specifically want ones on PC, I'd suggest Starcraft, Age of Empires, and probably Counter Strike (I wasn't into that one, but it had a huge following).
Many board games fit the bill as well. Codenames (physical or online at horsepaste.com) comes to mind, and another commenter also mentioned chess.
Basically any games that were made before endlessly grinding became a thing (yep, that's only been a thing for a decade or two).
Ooh, or my other trope: be a cleric with heavy armor and a shield. On your first turn in combat, walk out in front of everyone, cast Shield of Faith, and take the Dodge action. As a free action, yell "come at me, fucknuts!" If you can pick up the Shield spell, you're mostly invulnerable, and it's pretty much viable at level 1.
My personal favorite aspect with respect to combat is, "I look around, what objects and furniture are in the room?" Then proceed to use that stuff in combat. Long rug? I'll attempt to trip the opponent by pulling it up. Chandelier? Yeah I'll throw a hand axe and try to break that chain. Some DMs thrive off of it, some are put off.
It can be quite painful for the person on the receiving end if you don't get it in the right spot.
Ah, but consider the following scenario: you're returning from the grocery store with a bag of bachelor chow and a twelve pack of Low Brau, and you need to press the elevator button. With the stick, you'd need to set one of them down first. The Finglonger, on the other hand, has no such drawback.
I'LL LET HIM SNIFF MY HAND FIRST SO HE DOESN'T FEEL THREATENED
