Play pass is a fantastic idea, made me discover a lot of awesome small little experiences

sylverstream,

Yeah I like it so far. We also have xb gamepass which made me appreciate indie games much more.

How do you find apps included in play Pass though, do you know? Can only find lists on random websites, not on play store itself.

enthusiasticamoeba,

Once you’re a member it shows you a section in the app store. Unfortunately I’m not sure where to find a list before subscribing.

sylverstream,

I’ve subscribed, and that section shows up. However it only shows games, not apps. Eg Tasker is included.

This guy (Nimble Thor) developed an app called Mini Review, I’ve used it frequently.

Check him out on YT as well.

sylverstream,

That’s cool. Downloaded! Thanks.

get them an offline console

sylverstream,

Yeah, perhaps a better idea. Will do that once the tablet reaches end of life.

There are these little handheld console things you can get online for like $20-50 if you think she’d like older games like classic Nintendo, one of the cheap ones is called data frog SF2000 and it looks like an old SNES controller or this one for something higher quality that can run more consoles powkiddy.com/…/powkiddy-q90-3-inch-ips-screen-han…

They’re a little janky but they get the job done, they’re basically just a tiny weak laptop with emulators built in that you can only play the games on

sylverstream,

That looks cool! I think though it will be a hard sell for them as it will be a step back. However I will be looking into emulators as I think those games are better for them.

Yes, Kittens Game! If you want to increase your enjoyment even more, use a simple line of javascript to increase the game speed:

Usually, I find ports of PC Games best. I don’t know if they are suited for 9 year olds, but broken sword, baba is you or papers please are really good on mobile devices. Point and click in general is a very portable genre for mobiles.

www.darkpattern.games

I have not extensively used this site but it seems to have some good pointers

So maybe check with them there first, then install

sylverstream,

Thanks, interesting site! Bookmarked.

I loved that this one explain each of these dark patterns too

Play pass is really good for games but my kids still constantly want shitty ad filled ones tbh.

Setting up adguard DNS worked really well but it can break games if they’re dependent on ads. Which isn’t a bad thing in my opinion.

sylverstream,

Yeah agreed, my kids have accepted that stuff doesn’t work if they rely on ads, and they are fine with it (after some initial batyles).

I think the category you’re looking for is premium games. On mobile it appears to mean that the game is complete and not sold in pieces.

DeriHunter, do games w Assassin's Creed Mirage Review Thread | (76/100 OpenCritic)

Never understood who play ac, these games are great for the first hour but then the games becomes so dull an repetitive, same missions same stories it becomes very tedious

“Shattered pixel dungeon” is a rouge-like top down rpg with no ads and is quite fun. You can only pay if you choose to support the dev.

@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

As much as I like that game, the learning curve is steep af! Unless the little one handles frustration well, it will be a hard sell.

tra,

Yeah you are probably right.

Private DNS server. Blocks most ads even in games.

Here’s what I posted in another thread:

Private DNS FTW!

dns.adguard.com

On Android:

  1. Swipe down and select settings (the gear)
  2. Search for: DNS
  3. Select Private DNS.
  4. Select Private DNS again.
  5. Select Private DNS provider hostname.
  6. Enter: dns.adguard.com
  7. Select Save
  8. Enjoy most ads being blocked in apps.
  9. Might work poorly on public wifi (Walmart wifi for example doesn’t work with a private DNS set).

On Apple:

  1. Fuck if I know.
kosmoz,

Mullvad DNS works well for this too: mullvad.net/…/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/

Using DoH (DNS over HTTPS) means it should work on networks that try to block usage of private DNS servers.

sylverstream,

Thanks, I already have set up pi hole. See the last paragraph in my post as well.

DAMunzy,

My bad. I did miss that final paragraph but hopefully the private DNS can help someone else. Cheers!

Legendsofanus,

It helped me a lot! I already knew about adguard but didn’t know how to set it up. You explained it in such simple words, bravo
