    I’m a middle-aged woman with a phone full of premium games that feels like a steam deck.

    I have never understood why people buy a thousand dollar phone and then balk at paying for quality games, and instead play ad-supported, manipulative, dark pattern trash.

    Then again, I phone too hard. I have a controller attached to mine most of the time.

      Perhaps you’re a good person to ask then!

      Besides the FF series on there, any games I can casually play (no controller) that you recommend? It can be complex, just not input heavy

      I like you. You’ve got great taste in games! Also, is that second photo what the controller looks like folded up? If so, that’s awesome! What’s the name of that controller, if you don’t mind my asking?

      Some other games in the same vein that I didn’t see in your screenshots: Icewind Dale Knight of the Old Republic Titan Quest Hitman: Sniper Siralim Ultimate Streets of Rage 4 Andor’s Trail Caves of Lore

      And some that are in between a console and premium phone experience: Idle Fantasy (free) Dawncaster Indies Lies Rogue Adventure Doom & Destiny Advanced Shattered Pixel Dungeon

        Far past an apocalypse, some ruins are settled and the town of Portia is settled. It’s a bright and happy ideal sort of place that still exposes what it used to be back in the before times. But that’s all window dressing for a deep and involved resource collecting and crafting affair, with a bunch of slice of life shenanigans.

        I would put it right next to Stardew Valley in terms of expectations.

        oh god my english is shit when I’m tired, help

        Hyper Light Drifter’s a tough one—I still haven’t finished it yet.

        are we still allowed to use em dashes? I use em dashes in English.

        I’m on the road a lot, and often times away from home. Long rides on transit, long times in the back seat of a car heading to photo shoots, lots of downtime and a small purse. I do what I can.

        I’m glad that being at home with a computer works for you, but it doesn’t work for me.

        Thanks! Apparently I have some two hundred and twenty games on here. Lately I’ve been going through Caravan Sandwitch, Sea of Stars, SNES Chrono Trigger (JP) via Delta, and Lumines Remastered (and I’m always disappointed my hands aren’t fast enough to get to the last skin).

        I try to keep myself busy when I’m not shooting art.
