Idk if this counts as it’s not visually obvious, but Amaterasu from Ōkami is a fun female protangonist, on account of her being straight up Amaterasu Ōmikami, the sun goddess (and all around top dog) from Japanese mythology. Graceful and elegant and also she’s a big ol’ wolf who does doggy things, which I imagine would delight a 5 year old.
The game’s artstyle is really stylised and pretty, the story is based on Japanese mythology and legends which I’d think would also interest a kid, it’s kinda zelda-like with puzzles and whatnot, and there’s a dedicated woof button. It came out way back in 2006 but at the same time it’s been remastered pretty recently (it’s in capcom’s summer steam sale if you’re going down that route) so you’ve got some choice about which route to go down trying to find it. Try and stick to European versions if you can because apparently the American localisations removed most of the mentions of the fact that Ammy is a girl which imo is a really weird choice because like, that’s a whole ass mythological figure?
Are you trying to connect up to a computer? Look up “USB tethering” in your settings - you should be able to plug your phone into your computer through a USB port and share its data connection no problem. If you’re only using one device, it’s actually better than a mobile hotspot. You can also do it over Bluetooth if for some reason you want lower bandwidth. YMMV as I’m across the pond, but I get stats from my telecom company about my usage and it doesn’t list anything USB tethered as hotspot related so I think it should go under your company’s radar.
But also like, what the absolute fuck man? How? Why?
Ah, must be client side then. Well, tbh the spoiler isn’t even something from the game - it’s something we only learnt about way back in the Waking Titan ARG
It’s very much a game that’s built around finding other people and building a community - that’s why the various player made factions are given the official thumbs up and everything. Just a big ol’ sandbox.
If you want something with more character and story, I’d go to the expeditions - they’re unfortunately time limited (though HG usually reruns all of them at the end of the year), but they all offer a self contained story outside of the main plot that takes place in a smaller space and usually contain more characters and give your character a role that’s actually integrated with the larger world (like for example, in one of them we were explorers with the cartography guild out to document a worm cult). Also they’re usually full of interesting gameplay restrictions to use and abuse which is fun. Imo it’s the most interesting thing the game has to offer.
Idk what the plan is for Lemmy, but at least in the original Reddit version, ultra cost more because it also includes things like translation services that required third party server space
There’s a simple ad-free version pending approval I think that I assume will probably just cost the usual dollar or five
Been doing that too (though not at the same pace). Like project Gutenberg has a ton of good stuff if you just let go of your preconceived notions about “the classics”. Like you could right now drop everything and go read Ulysses. I wouldn’t reccomend it (go read Dubliners instead), but like you could. It’s like a call of the void.
