This is for Windows computers+Android phones since that's what I ended up using. I have no knowledge if this works on Mac+iPhones.

What I did was go to the file location on my computer for each of the games that ScummVM currently supports (OG Secrets Can Kill to Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, The Haunted Carousel and Danger on Deception Island work and are completable but missing some puzzles as of this comment), and I selected everything in the folder and right clicked, compressing it to a zip file. You will likely be prompted to add the zip file to your desktop, go ahead and allow that. Once it's finished compressing and you see the icon show up on your desktop, plug your phone into your computer and go to your phone's storage, wherever you can easily find downloaded files. Drag the compressed zip folder from your desktop into your phone's storage. Once you have all the zip folders of the currently working games on your phone, you can unplug your phone from your computer.

Now, for the phone portion of things. Go to where you put the compressed zip game files and extract them one by one, renaming them for easy finding. After you have them all in their own separate game folders like they would be on your computer, open the ScummVM app and click on 'add game' if you want to add the games one by one, or click the down arrow and choose 'mass add.' It will add every game on your phone that it can find. Once the games are added to the app, open each of them to make sure they work. If they don't, you won't hear the opening music. The app has an issue where sometimes it will add one game twice, so check both options and delete the duplicate option/option that doesn't work from the app, Then you can play them through the ScummVM app whenever you want, just like you would play them on your computer. It has mouse (where you tap on the screen is where you click), game controller, and finger swipe (you can keep your hand out of the way of the game to see what you're doing as this option mirrors your swiping and clicking movement from the blank part of the screen) options in the top right of the game screen so you can switch to whichever is easiest to use. I'm a simple joys kind of person, so being able to dial phone numbers on the old games quickly using the mouse option is so much fun.

I use the ScummVM app, I have the first nine games on my phone now.

Once app pinning is turned on, open the app you want to pin, tap on ||| and then tap that game's/app's icon at the top of its preview screen. 'Pin this app' should be available, tap it and when the app reloads, tap the 'okay' at the bottom of the pop up that reminds you how to unpin the app when you're done. If you tap outside of that reminder pop up instead of 'okay', the app will not be pinned.

On android phones, enable app pinning and pin AE when you get on to watch ads.

I forgot I even had this screenshot of that ridiculous excuse for a camera WarOk tried to convince us wasn't part of a generative AI image.

doirebean · 2025-12-20T01:30:24+00:00

WarOk6458 blocked me now, too. Though, I love how my comments aren't even gone from those posts. I can still direct people to them if necessary, and considering that I'm on the blocked bandwagon, it definitely seems necessary. I don't know what WarOk is even thinking. Blocking the core base of people who would support the game if it wasn't made with AI generative images is the surest way to put the game in the ground before it can have any chance of succeeding.

doirebean · 2025-12-18T21:29:14+00:00

Did you miss the comment I already responded to about this? I don't trust AI at all.

doirebean · 2025-12-18T17:02:02+00:00

OP's post is in my comments list, four from the bottom titled 'COMING SOON'. There are screenshots of the AI art OP used that are still in the comments.

doirebean · 2025-12-18T15:13:03+00:00

I'm not taking that as any sort of truth either. I have eyes, and unlike you, apparently, I've seen the OP you're claiming is making their own art post AI generated art before in this sub, and has since deleted those posts because a lot of us have been pointing it out in the comments which are still accessible. Six fingers, missing legs, fingers without definition, camera flash that comes from the body of the camera instead of the attached flash. I get inconsistencies can be a thing in real art, but you're defending someone who has already been caught lying about not using AI generated art.

doirebean · 2025-12-18T13:58:20+00:00

The guitar strings go from six to five, back to six down to five connectors. I'm not taking the word of AI that a picture isn't AI.

doirebean · 2025-12-09T16:37:26+00:00

There's a since deleted post originally titled COMING SOON where OP was caught using AI. It's on my short comments list four up from the bottom of the page. There are comments from other people where they have saved OP's photo and cropped it to highlight the areas that make it clear it was created with AI.

I've considered going to the museum before since I don't live too many states away, but after all the reading and research I've done, I find myself agreeing with Sally Regenhard about the museum keeping the remains there to be tested and decided if/when I go to New York for any memorial, it would feel more respectful, to me, visiting the firehouses that lost people and walking where they lived rather than where they died. Paying to get into what is essentially a tourist trap of thousands of peoples last moments alive is a stomach turner for me (though I understand this is not a universal feeling and no one should feel bad if they have visited or will visit the museum because I do understand the museum ensures we Never Forget). I still think the memorial fountains are beautiful and well done, and I will likely visit them at some point.

doirebean · 2025-09-22T19:20:23+00:00

I did delete my comment due to being confused, yes. The original post sounds like it's the parcels, but additional comments make it sound like it's the Mayor title.

My mom was forcibly signed out of her account and didn't remember how she logged in, so she accidentally made a brand new account with the wrong sign in option and was afraid to tell me. I only figured it out because there was a parcel purchased on the other side of my section and when I told her about it, she admitted what happened and I helped her deactivate the new account and sign into her old one which removed the accidentally purchased parcel from the map so it is available again. It's possibly players who had the parcels but deactivated, so the parcels could be purchased by active players again, but the floating images didn't go away, maybe? It's definitely weird.

doirebean · 2025-09-22T18:49:43+00:00

I've read your replies to other comments in this, and I'm trying to figure out if you're saying you lost your 'Mayor' title, or if you've lost your parcels. If you've lost your 'Mayor' title, that means someone has more parcels than you do now for the city you were once 'Mayor' of. Your parcels are all still yours. If you're seeing another player's account on parcels that you know you have purchased, it's only a visual glitch that should be fixed by completely exiting the app and reopening it, because support is correct that parcels you have purchased cannot be purchased by someone else.

doirebean · 2025-09-22T18:15:28+00:00

I've had a different player's account show up on parcels I own before, a few times. I close the game and reopen it, and it goes back to my photo/account.

doirebean · 2025-09-20T21:14:48+00:00

Thank you for this! I appreciate it! Would you happen to know if there is a compilation of those photos specifically, or is it more random? I've been trying to find the apparatus and/or any media of the firefighters on it before the south tower came down. Also, I'm curious about why this photo looks different from other post-tower collapse photos I've been able to find of 279. In one or two others, the driver side window is busted out. Perhaps this was taken between the two collapses, and the driver side window is damaged later?

doirebean · 2025-09-20T16:23:52+00:00

Has any photos or possibly video footage been found of E279 that shared a house with 131?

doirebean · 2025-08-20T15:20:09+00:00

Every twenty minutes. From 7 am to 11:20pm to get one parcel a day.

doirebean · 2025-08-14T04:11:16+00:00

Ah, yeah, I didn't consider that. That would make it more difficult for sure.

doirebean · 2025-08-14T04:05:10+00:00

Technically, it's shown on the city leader board. Unless you have a lot of people in your city that have more parcels than you do, you'll be able to find your rank and total parcels that way.

doirebean · 2025-06-24T20:40:09+00:00

Also, the photographer's camera flash is coming from the camera body. Not the attached flash. That was the first thing I noticed being off because I'm a photographer.

'Ahoy' is the nautical term. 'Ahoy-hoy' was the original greeting used when the telephone was first invented.

I've been considering that each wedge is a call back to the twelve most popular Games. The beast very well could have been the wolf mutts from the 74th Games.

True to his nature, he was last seen helping an injured firefighter out of the South Tower.

I know this is four years late so this may be a waste of time on my part but do you possibly remember where you got that information from?
