I still prefer *bin over Lemmy for the UI and the domain-blocking feature, even with Lemmy having post-hiding features. 🙂
Does Mbin count? =P
Jokes aside, imo, Skyrim, Starbound and Final Fantasy XII are great games to sink a long time. Of those, Skyrim I played the least due to life happening, but was enough to sink a few dozen hours already. Starbound easily surpassed the 600 hours for me, even if I barely use mods or played multiplayer. And Final Fantasy XII, on my first save I got to the final boss, I was nearing 300 hours already, and for a game originally on a 4.7 GB disc, it has a lot to do, so much so that, in that save, I was just starting to scratch past the surface.
Regarding the question itself, Starbound and Minecraft. Maybe Final Fantasy XII if I was to play it multiple times, as I take at the very least 100+ hours to finished it, and 250+ if I’m not in a hurry.
But regarding gaming fatigue, perhaps it could be a symptom of playing too much of only a handful of game styles? If you wouldn’t mind, may I suggest to check some smaller games in length and scope, specially indies? Those tend to be rather diverse in their scopes and executions.
You’ll lose all your local data as the bootloader gets unlocked, so back them up.
Tutorials on modding phones, from my experience, are fairly obtuse despite the process itself usually being rather simple and straight forward.
If you want to go as privacy-oriented as possible, you’ll likely pick a vanilla system (that is, as close to AOSP, “Android Open Source Project”), and will often be on the lookout for software that is either DRM-free (no dependency on 3rd party software), or open source / FOSS (“Free and Open Source Software”). Also VPNs to mask your online usage may come with their own set of cobsiderations, like some sites breaking, some others considering it ban-worth, and others setting prices, languages, etc., to a given region.
