  • Outside of emulators and other similar apps, there are some games that have decent mobile ports. Some of the good ones I know of are:

    Lego Star wars: the Complete Saga, which as far as I can tell, seems mostly identical to at least most of the other versions but it lacks all of the co-op/multiplayer components. I did also see some minor graphical glitches but they didn’t effect gameplay.

    The 3D remake of Final fantasy 3. It seems identical to the PSP version but it’s obviously running at a higher resolution and possibly a higher frame rate as well.

    Bloons TD 5, other users have mentioned 6 but 5 is also good too.

    HamSandwich, which is not available through the Google Play Store, so you may soon be stuck with the browser version when Google’s changes to side loading take effect. Also, I recommend using either a keyboard or a controller, as the touchscreen controls are not that good.

    The Enchanted Cave 2, the first one is also pretty good too but 2 has a lot more content and is a much better game all around.

    I know that a lot of people have issues with games that have MTX, but I will defend these games if they are actually good and I can play them without feeling like I’m being force to put money in. Here are some of the games I can remember:

    Honkai Impact 3rd, I haven’t completed the story yet but I’ve played up to the end of chapter 28 of part 1 and I haven’t had to put a single cent into the game. My only issue with this game is that, while the game does have keyboard support and the keyboard controls are decent, it doesn’t have controller support for some reason.

    Bloons Monkey City, this game is basically just Bloons TD 5 but with a city building mechanic and some online components.

    The Walking Zombie 2: Shooter. This ones a bit weird but I’ve been playing this occasionally. It’s a pretty decent FPS that takes at least some inspiration from the Fallout games. It’s not a masterpiece by any means but it still seems worth mentioning. I just wish it had keyboard and mouse support.





  • I’d say probably about a 7. I’m good enough with technology to have been using Linux for the past few years without any major issue that wasn’t caused by the distro I was using. I still wouldn’t say that I’m great with it though, because there are still several things I don’t know how to do and there are probably also a bunch of things that would be useful for me to know but I just haven’t found them yet or even know that I need them in the first place.




  • A lot actually, I’m quite sensitive to emotional things. I’ve been playing Honkai Impact 3rd and it’s made me tear up multiple times. I don’t remember all of the games but some of the other games I remember are:

    All of the Kingdom Hearts except “3D” and 3 because I haven’t played them yet.

    Metal Gear solid 1, 2, 3 and Peace Walker

    Some of the Final Fantasy games

    Castlevania Order of Ecclesia


  • I’m not sure what kind of games you are looking for but I’ve been playing Honkai Impact 3rd. The android version doesn’t have controller or mouse support but it has keyboard support and it’s fine. I think every action is mapped to the keyboard but the game doesn’t always tell you what everything is, the only one I’m not sure of is specifically the swiping QTE but QTEs are not used very often, so I never really had an issue with just using the touch screen for those. I would also imagine that Mihoyo’s other games are good too but I haven’t played them yet.

    Another game I can suggest is Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga, if you like that kind of game. As far as I can tell, it’s mostly identical to the PC version but with the one difference being that the multiplayer has been removed.

    What goal do the payment processors have for doing things like this, is it just that they like knowing that they have the ability to control what you are and aren’t allowed to enjoy? I ask this because normally, when services change their policies, it’s done to improve profits. But from what I can tell, the payment processors can only lose money because they are eliminating potential revenue sources.

    I will admit that I have no interest in any of the games that were removed, I’ve never even heard of them before today, but I don’t agree with payment processors having the ability to sensor content over some schizo bullshit.


  • There’s been a lot that I’ve been looking for but I’ve never been able to find. Here are the one’s that I can remember off the top of my head.

    The first, which doesn’t need to be an app/program, is something that would allow me to get more use out of Flathub. I’ve been wanting to get more use out of Flathub but the biggest problem I have with Flathub, is that there is no reliable way to discover new apps. The reason for this is because of how the website sorts its apps. They seem to be sorted either randomly or by popularity, as the order changes occasionally, and it mixes new apps in with the old apps. What I’ve been doing is using a chart to keep track of what apps I’ve seen but I have no idea of how reliable this actually is.

    The second, I’ve mentioned before on another post, is a companion app for GameFAQs that’s similar to Anime Plus. If you’re not familiar with Anime Plus, it’s a website that works as companion app for MyAnimeList. It looks at your MAL profile and generates a temporary profile that offers a few useful features like a list of anime/manga that you’ve missed and recommendations for other anime/manga.

    The last one that I can remember, is a reliable gamepad mapper app for android devices that doesn’t require root. I’ve tried multiple gamepad mapper apps but none of them worked properly and I’m pretty sure that some of them contained malware, especially given the fact that they’ve been removed from the Google Play Store.



  • I don’t intentionally use it to keep track of the games I’ve played but I’ve been using GameFAQs to keep track of older console games I have not yet played. It’s not perfect for this as I need to use documents to keep track of some additional information but I have yet to find a better alternative.

    For PC games, some of the platforms I use, like GOG and Itch, actually have built in features to help me to keep track of what games I haven’t played yet. For the others (and mobile) I still have to use documents to keep track of this as well.
