The 3-2-1 backup strategy: “Three copies are made of the data to be protected, the copies are stored on two different types of storage media and one copy of the data is sent off site.”



We carry devices with us that are more powerful than the Switch, yet we’re here with this bullshit that mobile gaming is. It’s just sad how techno feudalism is destroying everything.


Currently playing the original on a GBC emulator and it holds up incredibly well. Love the game!


Well isn’t it great that Google is going to implement web DRM so I don’t have to worry anymore about what ad blocking App is working.



Yep, I can understand that they don’t want to fight someone else’s fight.


That’s a question of definition. Is OP looking for good gaming experiences on his phone? Then my answer is correct. Is he looking for games that can be played in short bursts while waiting at a bus stop? Then you’re probably right.


But then the raeson is you being picky, not that there were not enough good games.


Sick to see the delveoper behind it here! Almost feels like that website :)

Thanks for providing this info, I was not aware of that.


Nope, you just have to dig…

  • Minecraft
  • Ocean Horn
  • Terraria
  • Don’t Starve
  • Neon Chrome
  • Stardew Valley
  • GTA III
  • GTA Vice City
  • GTA: San Andreas
  • GTA: Chinatown Wars
  • Bully
  • Max Payne
  • Star Wars KOTOR
  • Limbo
  • Roller Coaster Tycoon
  • OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon)
  • Portal

With some fiddling you can even run some PC games like Half Life 1 and 2, Doom 3 and Morrowind (not even emulated, their engines were actually ported to Android).

If you add emulation to the mix you can play everything up to the Wii if you have a half decent phone, which means an endless ocean of good games.


People who complain there were not enough good games spend too much time playing games.


That’s actually a pretty common take nowadays. Just not that popular among game studios, lol


This thread goes to show how criminally underrated GTA Chinatown Wars is. It’s a blast and playing it definitely belongs to my favorite PSP memories! I’m actually still playing it with PPSSPP on my phone, lol


I actually loved how it was split between /r/gaming as a place for memes and (really, like really really) low effort posts and /r/games for actual news and discussions around games. I would not combine both.



One of my fondest gaming memories, too. I was sucked into the world. Had a rough time back then and it was the perfect escape.


Finally got me the Gamesir X2 Pro and I love it
Up until now I was using an XBOX One controller with a clip for attaching your phone, which worked well but was quite unergonomic. I had to keep my wrists in an awkward angle, which made my fingers go numb after a short amount of time. Now I got me the Gamesir X2 Pro and I couldn't be happier. The Switch form factor is SO MUCH MORE ergonomic and with the USB C connection there's no latency at all. It's finally fun to play emulators on the phone (or to stream from my gaming PC). The buttons are rather clicky, so the acustics can get a little annoying, but haptically they feel great. The build quaility is pretty satisfying all around. Totally recommended if you're into phone gaming.

I just googled why he left Rockstar in the first place. Some sources say he did it to spend more time with his family, but now he’s opening his own studio? I don’t know man.
