You’re right; I had to go into the store to hit Update

I opened up balatro on mobile. How do you change the card faces?

Edit: found it in options>customize deck. I can only change Spades>Witcher, hearts>Amongus, clubs>Vampire Survivors, diamonds>Dave the Diver. How do I see the new options?

It’s the same experience, imo. On mobile, you can drag and drop the cards into a buy/sell/use section; on the steam deck, there are Xbox control indicators to buy/sell/use/select. I haven’t noticed any other differences. Google play keeps a save file in the cloud, like steam.

Edit: my bad, on Mobile, seeing the tags at the bottom of the Select Blind window is a PAIN because, to see its description, you have to press and holto read it, then slide your finger away to be sure you don’t select it. The tag icon is small. If you release your finger while over the tag icon, the tag is selected.
A Tag is a bonus you can get if you choose to skip a Blind (which is a term for one round of playing your cards). It’s usually more profitable to play the Blind than pick the tag.

What’s native call recording? Like call recording with the default phone app?

I use ACR Phone by “NLL APPS” in the play store. They have you download their app store to download their ACR Helper app to run in the background, which allows the recording. But the quality of the other end’s sound is based on your in-call volume. So after the call starts, I have to ensure the volume is turned all the way up. It doesn’t have to be on speaker.

I haven’t needed to root, or else I’d have trouble getting on certain mobile games that check my phone for root.

Second this, just get some thumbstick covers. I have the 8bitdo pro, and I’m getting tired of the joysticks peeling off onto the rest of the controller after a game.

I haven’t had drift on them yet, but if/when I need to replace Old Reliable, I’m looking for hall effect joysticks.

Edit: damn, just found out the pro2 has hall effect joysticks

Which one(s) have you got? Do you like them?

Samesies. I had a huge nexus 6p back in the day, and I miss scrolling by swiping the rear fingerprint sensor.

Which features do you feel like you’re missing out on?

I looked up octodad on steam - what’s the difference between dadliest catch and student edition?

I use Netguard to block internet access for half of my apps - the ones that shouldn’t be using my mobile data anyway

Ah, yes, when a man takes inspiration from insect-collecting in his childhood, he becomes the world’s first child psychologist in directing and developing video games

Edit to clarify: you kept making downvoted assumptions in this thread about an existing source on Pokemon creators having targeted the young boys audience. It’s only natural to think you could be misremembering all the articles that came out about Satoshi Tajiri’s inspiration for the OG games coming from bug collecting as a young boy.

Thank you for the archive .org one. I hadn’t seen a direct response to the old reddit post, and the archive .org post really broke it down for me

This is the post that convinced me way back when. It’s been a while; I couldn’t find yet if the egs software has changed since. https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/wakewr/epic_games_spyware_vs_steam_vs_as_comparision_ea/

I’m kinda glad you mentioned it - https://discord.com/invite/the-arcade-147086422006824962 I’d say the community is pretty thriving for its size.

Grey Havens keeps the servers running while there are still people supporting the game.

For real. When one of my friends dropped his phone and cracked the screen ,we saved it by checking and backing up his stuff through samsung dex. Smart Switch doesn’t work through dex though, so we still had to guess where the buttons were on an all white screen to work it through the phone.

I didn’t realize til shopping around recently that most flagship phones’ type C ports are only usb 2 instead of USB 3 like the Samsung S series phones. I reeeally wanted HDMI out in case I needed it in a pinch, too.
