Heyo! Just another random who’s moving over from centralized social media to the Fediverse. Mastodon wasn’t too bad but I love anything like Reddit!

Games, anime, Japanese, food, and music are my loves. Fanfic beats food tho, I can read for hours instead!

  • Like others said, any turn-based game. Currently suffering enjoying SMT III Nocturne, others I’ve played are Octopath, Fire Emblem, Pokemon (esp Mystery Dungeon), Atlus in general. Balatro sounds nice. Rhythm heaven is WarioWare + Music, and that’s definitely doable one-handed, especially the Wii version. My mom said Fortune Street (Monopoly but Mario + Dragon Quest) lol.

    Mobile games can be very doable, a cute one I remember is Candies n’ Curses, a game where you swipe to direct the character around a haunted mansion and fight bosses. Easily can be played with one hand. If you can tolerate gachas, Cookie Run Kingdom can be put on auto so you don’t have to tap much, I just like the story and characters. I think Geometry dash can be doable on low levels with one hand?

    Find your inner weeabo and play some Japanese visual novels. Or if you’re a normal person then Ace Attorney would be a fantastic choice, and is a long-ass series. Prepare for courtroom bullshit and jokes.


  • I get that getting all the games as they released was hard, because the series is on so many platforms. But I really don’t get the “KH is hard to understand” argument today, because you can easily find hundreds of letsplays for every game, cutscenes complications, play/watch every game on the PS4 remix disk, and even watch a fandub of the mobile games (Dark Road is a WIP) if you don’t like the KHUX Back Cover recap.

    So like, what’s so hard? If you skip games and only read a wiki (the worst possible way to consume any sort of media, mind you), of course you’re not gonna know the story and characters, and of course it’ll sound confusing.



  • I mean, that’s the reality of using an Android phone. 95% of apps are built to use play services in some way, and while most of that can be ignored, apps using push notifs are almost always going to be play instead of unified push. Make the choice of either living with no push notifs, or having push notifs.

    You can use GrapheneOS without push notifs, it’s just inconvenient, and the average person wants convenience. This isn’t a Graphene problem, it’s a big tech influencing Android problem. The original comment makes it seem like Graphene is the issue, but other ROMs are going to encounter that same issue anyway (as I said, Android problem). So therefore I didn’t lie, asshole.

    Maybe you can use microG to get around notif issues, but that does require logging in. Use a Linux phone at that rate if you’re not gonna use push notifs and don’t need Android.




  • Some are very easy to play without spending any sort of money, and there’s several that have pity systems in which you’re guaranteed to get what you’re pulling for, so at least they’re slightly better than gambling. But yes, I won’t deny they’re predatory, but I’ve managed to make my gacha journey without spending a penny across the 20+ gacha games I’ve played and dropped for a little over a decade now.

    Not all of them have great stories, especially the older games which focused on collecting rather than story content, but within the past few years we’ve gotten great ones that have long arcs that are actually interesting, especially if the game has side lore that you can read about.

    I get that a gacha isn’t going to be as good as the average game, but when you’ve only got a few mins to play something and you’re out and about, they’re nice.


  • God. The Genshin subreddit literally hated male characters for simply existing so much that official birthday art would get taken down/reported by the users/mods. I stuck with the GenshinGays and Genshin_Sapphic subreddits because at least I didn’t have to see Mona’s titties and Klee lolibait every 5 posts.

    But for real, anime and game subreddits are just cancer (well, honestly they’re not perfect on Lemmy either…) and it’s impossible to find one that doesn’t dissolve into gooning and homophobia. Well, maybe besides Jojo.
