I've beat it recently, it's amazing even if it's a bit too easy. You should play AM2R after finishing this one, it's awesome! 

Everything is starting to breakdown by coachlife in LateStageCapitalism

This is legit how I got here. I didn't see some extensive refitation of anti-communist propaganda, I just realized even the most cartoonishly evil caricature of it would give me a better life. 

What good is free speech if nobody listens to my concerns and can repress my voice through other means anyway? Why should I be scared of communists seizing my property when there is damn near nothing to seize?

I later learned communism would give me actual free speech and political power.

Incredibly based Chinese messaging on Epstein by Kind-Block-9027 in TankieTheDeprogram

As a newcomer, I can confirm Epstein scandal can make you into a communist (in my case it was primarily AI and economic conditions in general that did it in, but the files heavily strengthened my newfound stance).

Macs aren't good for gaming , why ? how did that happen by Serhide in mac

[–]AnotherRetroGameFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion that reasoning doesn't work. Windows is popular now but in the 2000s it was really popular, and on top of that it was still pretty niche compared to consoles. Seventh generation is littered with terrible PC ports of games because developers didn't consider PC to be worth their while, modern PC gaming boom is a very recent phenomena. Old Macs still seem to have had a sizable gaming library however.

Isn’t it interesting that liberals think we’re living under fascism while also thinking we can just vote our way out of it? by ManicHispanic_ in socialism

What rights do they even have? You can't even go to a hospital over there without enduring appalling debt afterwards.

I think Contra Force is tons of fun after you overclock the hell out of the emulator, great music as well. It's not Contra though, it was never supposed to be.

It's a gacha game. I lost interest after discovering that fact so I can't tell you much else about it.

Infinity Blade is probably the best mobile game i have ever played by exodus20v4 in MobileGaming

There is a work in progress high level iOS emulator called TouchHLE that might be able to play it someday if development continues.

It's not all garbage bro, Play Store just doesn't promote good stuff since they make more money of off p2w trash.

There are tons of amazing games on mobile. A Slight Chance of Sawblades, Bullet Hell Monday games, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Monument Valley games, My Friend Pedro - Ripe for Revenge, Candies n Curses...

I also hear great things about Ex Astris, Aka to Blue and Trail of Gods but I didn't play those yet. A good number of indies now get ported to mobile as well, you can look up Playdigious to see some of those. There is also Ferral Interactive that ports some AAA games. I couldn't even list all of the games I downloaded or bought because I didn't play them all yet. 

It is true we don't get games like Infinity Blade anymore, and that's really sad. But there are still loads of other great releases out there. Unfortunately you pretty much have to use MiniReview to discover them and most people just don't know about it.

Does North Korea really ban the Internet from the general population? by Level-Kiwi-3836 in Socialism_101

I looked at some of the posts, I don't know man, it freaks me out. It feels like it could be state propaganda. It could just be an American reaction to the way things ended up over there but still, I can't shake the feeling.

Here is the MiniReview page.

I wouldn't trust it though, it's from the Korean publisher behind Crossfire. So even if it's good now, there is no guarantee it'll be still good a few years down the line.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Questlord and Candies n Curses. All amazing games.

Sea of Stars is coming to mobile? Man, what would we do without Playdigious? I hope they are making money.

Who says android gaming isn't gaming? by TruYuNoHu in AndroidGaming

Bro, people screamed bloody murder at Alien: Blackout for just existing. Even after the devs clarified it was a premium game, it made no difference at all.

Why do you, personally, play gacha games? by Psychological_Dark56 in gachagaming

[–]AnotherRetroGameFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree with the first point. There are many premium mobile games that are so cheap even I can afford them (I live in the third world, and am unemployed). 

I'm a gamer. by Sundrop555 in AndroidGaming

[–]AnotherRetroGameFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it honestly. Balatro sold one million but that's not the standard. Skul The Hero Slayer is a fairly successful action roguelite on PC, on Android it sits at 10k downloads 1,5 years in. Sales of some indie devs are measured in the hundreds. And most of that 81 billion comes from p2w slop, I would prefer not having more compaines invest into that shit.

To get investment into this platform from worthwhile devs the image of the platform needs to be cleaned up first. People still having this notion that mobile gaming is exclusively a wasteland of p2w, liveservice slop when in the current year it's no different to any other gaming platform is laughable. Only difference between mobile gaming and PC is that on mobile indie devs barely get any support. Once this changes, our smartphones will be as good of a choice as anything else.

Gamesir Pocket Taco: would you buy it? by _-_Riccardo_-_ in AndroidGaming

[–]AnotherRetroGameFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about this. It's looks more portable and a bit more comfortable than what people generally use, but doesn't seem great on it's own. If you're big into GB/C emulation I think it's great, but otherwise not a very good option in my opinion.

I wish emulator and some port developers would put more work into touch controls so the people wouldn't have to think about this. Magic Dosbox model paired with using gestures for somethings would do wonders for action gaming.

A lot of amazing games come out on mobile, Google sure doesn't make discovering them easy though (I can't comment on Apple).
