As weird as it sounds: Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (The OG one).

On the surface, it’s a shit platformer game for kids, but what makes it interesting is the ways you can break the game and the lively speedrunning community. If you just try to play the game by following its rules, you’re going to have a bad time.

However, if you use cool speedrunning glitches and exploits, it becomes much more fun to break the game in ways the developers didn’t intend. I tend to play from time to time 100%ing it using exploits to reach locked areas earlier, skip entire sections, and play some levels backwards.

Currently, I’m replaying The Witcher 3, and the main annoyance I’m having right now is not being able to pause during timed choices (and timed choice are a whole other problem in games too).

You can pause during non-time-sensitive dialog choices, but not during timed ones. I don’t know why they specifically deny pausing for those. Maybe to prevent people from pausing and thinking it out? But, some of these times sensitive choices greatly effect the story. I want to be able to think about these choices when they effect the story.

It will just be a PS5 with a sticker on it and $500 more.

V from Cyberpunk 2077 is #1 for me.

I haven’t played enough games where the protagonist dies to fill out the rest.

Same setup I use. I’m really missing the comments right now. Hopefully a fix comes soon.

Yeah, thats what I personally use. I used NewPipe in the title as the main name as apps like PipePipe and Tubular are forks of NewPipe.

I use Neo Backup. It allows backing up APKs and app data. You need root for it though.

If you want to get your backup off your device you can just use ADB with it, or something like Syncthing (though depending on how many apps you have, the backup can be pretty massive).

Burnout 3 is one of the best arcade racing games for this generation.

I see you have Kingdom Hearts II in there. There’s also the original Kingdom Hearts as well.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run is like GTA but more “family-friendly”.

There’s also other Ratchet & Clank games on the PS2, including the original, Going Commando, and Deadlocked.

If you like racing games, Need for Speed: Underground 2 is one of the best games in the NFS series. IMO it’s better than Underground 1.

Also, appreciate the guide for higher res textures.

The only reasonably-priced phone I have found that has a headphone jack and SD card slot is the OnePlus Nord CE Lite 3 5G (Or the Nord N30 5G for North America). If you’re looking for a phone with those specs + excellent camera, pass on this one. Camera is decent, maybe a little better than an older pixel phone, but nothing special.

Both the CE and N30 are supported by LineageOS (larry) if you want to flash a different ROM.

Yeah, I’ll wait until the dust settles and the reviews come in before I buy.

Depends. If N = 1, then 1P = P. Otherwise, no.

No watch is worth 3 figures, let alone $500. I’ll stick to my PineTime I got for under $50. It has the same features I use, for a fraction of the cost.

This is that duct tape banana all over again.

When I was in a situation where I couldn’t play any games I wanted, I would watch no commentary, 100% playthroughs of my games so I could see all the content they have.

Yes, it’s not the same as actually playing it, but it’s better than not ever seeing what the game is about.

Don’t they mean Gears: Reloaded?

Been playing a heavily-modded playthrough of Minecraft. Am enjoying building up my world to look alive.

Damn, I remember watching Markiplier play this game years ago. Totally forgot about it.

No no, Nintendo is probably going to make the repo owner change their repository name.

Put your phone in a Faraday bag for an extended period of time, then check what kind of ads you get.

Burnout 3, Midnight Club 3, and NFS Underground 2 were the best games to play on PS2. Such nostalgia.

I have it installed but disabled. Will auto updates still occur?

• Burnout 3: Takedown
• Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition
• Mario Party DS
• Minecraft: Pocket Edition (The alpha versions)
• Mario Kart DS
