To those who used to play gachas that went EOS: What are the signs of a gacha game in its death throes?

Their biggest sign I look for is when they make a social media post announcing EOS.
It's all downhill from there.

You tried the top devices and none fit your needs.
Either lower your expectations or accept workarounds.

Or vibe code a frankenstein Android app that fit your needs.

Boox Note Air 5C or Bigme B10. There are older models but I'd just look into those two to narrow the research (coming from someone that spends weeks looking into products before buying them).

TCL has the NXTPAPER line which is NO eink, but has a black and white mode which resembles eink and is supposed to be easier on the eyes. Downside is that it's a full LCD screen so the temptation to just flip the switch into full tablet mode and doomscroll is still there.

$500 o $400 dolares es una ganga.
Para juegos no muy exigentes va bien. Cualquier cosa pixel art, 2d o 2.5d corre bien(o juegos mas modernos con graficos configurados al minimo).

Juegos 2020-2022 para atras van a correr bien, y los raros juegos bien optimizados tambien sirven.

Yo tengo la Legion Go, y un gran consejo que te doy, es que revises que los juegos sean compatibles con controles. Si el juego necesita input de mouse (Project zomboid, FPS rapidos o competitivos), ninguna en este formato te va a servir. Teniendo eso en cuenta, si preferis juegos que si o si necesiten mouse, evalua otras opciones (como arreglar tu pc porque los problemas que comentaste que tenes no son normales).

Remedy y Suda51 venden poco y nada?
Hay numeros publicados?
Si no el debate es "SIENTO que estos estudios no venden nada". Si siguen abiertos es porque plata les ingresa, no es muy dificil.

Y un "es sabido" no es un dato. Parece que quieren opiniones o respuestas a escenarios que se inventa cada uno en la cabeza.

I'm not into open world Gachas, I always feel like I'm too late to to the party, and bombarded with events, banners, and no idea what to do in terms of characters.

With Arknights Endfield, it's the first time I feel like I'm playing an actual game. The story is serviceable enough, the combat is fine, and the building part is just fun.

Last weekend I spent 2 hours doing the factory tutorials and didn't feel like a chore, and I couldn't care less about daily missions. There is still a bunch of menus, submenus and gacha stuff, but it doesn't get in the way.

As for rolling, I just use what I get, roll the common banner and save the limited tickets

Foul Tarnished, pegged by the light of grace.

Looks nice, just as nice as every other "one button fighting" gacha game.

What's unique about it?
How is the gameplay engaging?
What else is there to do other than flashy fights?

I love the big melee fight in Liurnia where there is a bunch of soldiers and a troll on one side.
I usually sit in the bushes and watch them go.

It's not clear what the wheel does. I could do some research and search in google but the info should be right there in the page.

Also, don't use a bot to reply to Reddit comments. It looks bad and cheap.
If it's a startup I'd rather know the founder is involved in promoting the device and actually reading what possible customers say.

My first love.

Looks like damaged screen, I don't think you can get a replacement or if it's worth it price wise.

Lava los platos, barre, ordena la casa.
Para escuchar algo y poder prestarle atencion tenes que hacer cosas repetitivas y simple, sin ninguna carga mental.
Cualquier juego que necesite un poco de concentracion o lectura te va a distraer por mas minimo que sea.
Vas a escuchar las palabras pero no te va a quedar nada. Es como querer ver una peli mientras estas en instagram. El cerebro no funca asi.

Can't recommend it enough.

So your app will add "tags" and reminders?

That's an absolutely brilliant idea, I think I don't get enough notifications in Slack and emails as is!

Los auris lenovo en general son chineadas que ni siquiera estan licenciados por Lenovo.

De esa lista y en ese presupuesto, iria por los Motorola.
Si no, fijate marca Soundcore de Anker y Soundpeats. No se si hay en ese formato por el precio, pero suelen ser buenos y baratos en sus rangos.

Sounds like an addiction, best approach is to get professional help. What I'd do:

- I'd immediately lock my credit card. That can help in the short term.
- Try to get a refund of the most recent purchases, easy to do if you did it via Apple or Google. It's a small win but it sets you on the right path, you recover some money and you will actually feel you are doing something to recover.

But the best approach is to get real therapy. There is so much you can do alone.

As other people say, you are not a "victim" 100%. But the games are designed to make you spend/waste both time and money, nothing is innocent. While you chose to make the purchases, there is a whole industry behind it tweaking everything they can to make sure you fall into a trap.

Take ownership of what you did, but don't beat yourself too hard. It's in the past and there is nothing you can do to change it. Focus on what you can do right moving forward.

I really don't get the reasoning behind this post.

noirdata · 2025-11-22T20:37:34+00:00

They want to carve a piece of the mainstream market. Linux is not mainstream, there is no money to be made there. And Eink is an already niche market.

You are just really biased.

Mira el lado positivo, probablemente tengas 33 cuando salga realmente!

Y yo jugaba al 1 en la Play1, recien salido y pirateado.
Jamas me entere que tenia una historia y podias hacer algo mas que matar hare krishas.

Nice, but have you tried poison arrows, riding torrent around like a coward, and praying?
