Try F-Droid, there’s some good quality games in their listing, and it’s a lot more transparent than the Play store.

There’s also a lot more indies (whether new or old) that have made it to mobile, like Stardew Valley, Terraria and Dungeon Clawler, so it’s worth checking out the “premium” category on the Play store to find some decent games too

P4ulin_Kbana,

Nah. There are few games on F-Droid, and most of them haven’t been updated in years. But could you please list some of them?

TeMccm2ZgLSE,

I play a lot of Shattered Pixel Dungeon. There is an unofficial release on f-droid

Hyphlosion, do games w How many games do you manage to play at the same time?

Wish I could say at least two.

I paused my playthrough of Final Fantasy when Black Ops 6 came out back in October. Next thing I know, it’s January and I’m totally lost when picking up my Final Fantasy save file again. The dancer didn’t share any clues whatsoever.

You lied to me, game. 🖕

CrowAirbrush, do games w How many games do you manage to play at the same time?

I just buy whichever game i enjoy playing when it’s on sale only to never actually getting to play it.

Life is a matter of you either have the time, money or energy. But never all.

I have the money now but not the energy, i just pass out the moment i get home and playing games just gets postponed until i get time off.

Dariusmiles2123,

Sorry for you as it sounds really sad.

I hope it’s just temporary and you’ll find a more comfortable balance soon.

CrowAirbrush,

Thank you for the compassion, i’m hoping too.

Currently looking for a different job.

Is that board game multiplayer? I loved StS, I might be able to get my partner into a physical version.

We picked up Lorelei and the Laser Eyes last week and have been slowly working through it. Interestingly styled and it feels a bit abstract so far, but the puzzles are enjoyable to figure out! VERY glad the mc has a photographic(and menu to access) even if the controls could be better

chloyster,

Yes it is! It’s coop which was why I got it. My partner and I got into mtg a bit while visiting her family for the holidays and thought a coop deck builder would be a fun thing to have, and I love sts so it seemed like a no brainer. I will warn the game is quite expensive and sort of hard to find but if you can get your hands on it I highly highly recommend it!

I for instance ordered mine from a game store in Illinois even though I live in WA. I believe more reprints are coming through

GammaGames,

Oh, maybe I’ll save it for a birthday gift then 😅 we’ve been playing a bunch of Clank! which is fun but the digital edition is super buggy in pass and play. Thanks for all the info!!

Could’ve picked a better abbreviation for “no-bullshit games” than “nobsgames”, haha.

I went outside of my usual wheelhouse and tried playing some of the Wario games for the gameboy advance. Finished Warioware in one afternoon (very fun short little collection of mini games) and currently on Wario Land 4. It’s a platformer with light puzzle elements, and I’m quite surprised at how much I’ve been enjoying it, as I usually don’t mesh with platformers.

In a way, it reminds me of one of the later Commander Keen games, but with much better level design and variety in gameplay.

It’s a polished and quirky little game, and its handheld roots lend itself to short sessions, which has been all I have time for.

I think I’ll be investigating the earlier entries after I complete it. Certainly recommend it if you have access to a handheld emulator!

Wario games have some of the most polished classic platforming mechanics.

Simon Tatham's Puzzles will forever be the GOAT.

LucasWaffyWaf,

Heck, I’ve got it on both my android phone and my Palm PDA. Worth having it on both.

MajorHavoc,

Dang. Nice. Having a Palm PDA with Simon’s Puzzles in 2024 2025 is epic. I would take that thing to parties…and, at the kind of parties I attend, it would make me royalty.

LucasWaffyWaf,

Oh I use it as an ADHD management tool! All the organization and productivity stuff of a smartphone with none of the distractions or dark patterns. Mine is a Sony PEG-UX50, top of the line for 2003 and distinctly 2000s Sony in appearance, function, and annoyances.

MajorHavoc,

That is very cool.

Finishing up Frostpunk. I started last year, then put it down basically for a year. Anyway, I recently finished 2 of 3 DLC campaigns. Working on the last one right now. Easily the hardest colony manager I’ve played, but it’s so good. Can’t wait to start Frostpunk 2 after this.

With friends, playing Barotrauma. We’re doing our annual playthrough/attempt to get the to the end. Which we done once. There’s 5 of us regularly playing (a 6th sometimes joins), which for us, seems to be the minimum we need. Think we just entered The Great Sea, which is the 4th of 5 biomes. Just upgraded to a Tier 3 sub.

Frostpunk 2 is about politics. I hated it and don’t play it at all. It’s not even similar to the first amazing game. You may be disappointed unless you like politics.

I do like politics, so perhaps it is right up my alley! I know it’s fairly different from FP1, but we’ll see.

I unlocked the final difficulty in Windblown. However, I’m gonna play the previous one a bit more, to get some more reps, since the stat increase for enemies seems just insane.

Then I played more Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire. While the game is good, it took me a while to get into it. I don’t like getting around with the ship, it’s just super tedious. When you don’t enable enemy scaling, the world is also full of enemies, that are far too strong for you (I did beat some fights, the game said are probably too difficult). Now, after 25h I’m level 10, can do more stuff, and it’s getting more interesting.

Finally, my friend and I continued our Baldur’s Gate 3 coop run, and we just made it to Act 3. Because this is a Dark Urge run, and we are pretty much killing everything, there was a bunch of stuff we couldn’t do in Act 2, so it felt a bit short (except for our month break or something), although we did spend a lot of time in combat.

Check out the site dark pattern games, it shows a list of games and their “dark” side like money and time wasters. They also show the “healthy” side of mobile gaming as well

InFerNo, do games w How many games do you manage to play at the same time?

So many, depends on the booted OS and what I feel like or what the kids feel like playing.

Currently doing a mix of Quake 2 single player (100%ed it on nightmare but I keep coming back to it), Half-Life deathmatch (hilarious with the kids as we try to lay out traps for eachother), Reflex Arena, Planetside 2, Age of Empires 2, OpenRA, Fortnite (kids love it so I play along), Ion Fury, Fallout 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Last 3 are story modes, so they take long. Only Ion Fury is linear though, so it’s easier to come back to.

FeelzGoodMan420, do gaming w Why don't we have motion smoothing on current consoles?

Motion blur helps cover up low or choppy fps. I assume consoles enable it by default in games that have it.

ErsatzCoalButter,

Look at this AI poisoner right here 😜

keep up the good work

FeelzGoodMan420,

Huh?
