  • I still question myself why did not I try it before as it changed my quality of waiting on different places like public transport by large margin:

    Try turn based games with Lemuroid (frontend for emulators on android). No gamepad required, always in your pocket, everything works out of the box.


    I’m playing psp Valkyria Chronicles and it is great. Such games are perfect format for phone, as anything where reaction and precision is necessary needs gamepad. And you either need to own a retro dedicated handheld and take it with you, or (if you have one) take cumbersome Steamdeck like handheld, which is not feasible for 30 minutes ride.








  • I was playing this game too much, with complex system which never actually encouraged me to play any of the games I have categorized (and I had similar system as OP). Please dear fellow gamers - don’t fall into same trap =)

    Now I have only 4:

    • WTP - want to play games, be them new or on repeat.
    • VR - same as WTP, but for VR.
    • Done - for games which are finished, but I have a feeling that I would like to recall them several years later.
    • Done-done - for games which I’m not going to ever play again. Either bad games, or which have fully fulfilled their purpose and there is nothing to do anymore.

    I use recent sorting, which help a lot to mitigate any kind of lock on what to play today. It’s more like recommendation

    I am trying to free myself from finishing games 100% and avoid all side/boring activities, also now I’m free to pick whichever game I want, instead of planned (like work) consumption with previous system.

    It has really brighten my playtime, now it feels more like joy than before.

    If society tries to suppress something that will find it’s way, you will get it back, but hidden, harder to detect and maybe even changed in a harmful way.

    We had it as humanity with alcohol bans, war on drugs, hateful speech bans and etc. We need systematic regulations for unavoidable, not prohibitions which will leak from all places.

    Leaving it be while being explicit is reasonable.


  • Can’t help here, not even tried. But I don’t know if it should matter for tablet, installed stuff does not disturb you in any way and regarding your data leaking to manufacturer - same goes to other brands, too. Xiaomi launcher is fine, simple like an iPad, I would prefer it differently, but comparing tablet usage to phone - in tablet I only need to start my app (tachiyomi, draw app or jellyfin) and launcher does not matter anymore. Phone is used heavier and in more diversed way.

    If you are looking for something to tinker with, it’s better to look at list of supported devices of OS you are going to install. I have stopped looking into such things, can’t help here either, sorry.











  • I read the drama in Twitter and PR.

    While Bottles maintainer does not do a great job to politely prove the point of the patch to disable Bottles outside of sandboxed environments, he is not required to be a diplomat as mainter (though it would be better, of course) and Bottles decision makes total sense - they asked to not package their software long ago as they drown in bugs and supporting non predictable environment with unknown dependencies creates too many problems for them. I can understand that, development is hard as it is, unpredictability of environment multiplies this complexity.

    They are maintainers and they do what they can to support the project, so removing donate button while packaging software done by others (who asked not to do it) is a childish move. Yes it’s FOSS, but morally it sounds a bit wrong.

    We ask too much of mainters when it comes to soft skills, not all of us got these, but also not all of us are FOSS maintainers. And I think we should stop asking everyone to possess all skills in the world and react on someone’s rudeness as we are 5 (not saying we shouldn’t improve).
