  • My controversial opinion is that candy crush is actually brilliant, yeah they want you to buy gold but it’s more fun not to. The same goes for a lot of advert funded / in app purchase games - they’re fantastic mobile games if you ignore the money option.

    Morrowind ports and similar aren’t great mobile games, they’re great games but candy crush I can pull out my pocket when I’m waiting for a bus and get totally drawn into a few rounds. Airport control is another example, draw lines to direct landing planes and avoid a crash - super simple and repetitive but its complexity grows, cut the rope likewise is a true game in my definition because you learn skills and develop your personal ability beyond just learning game mechanics. They’re engaging and enjoyable with a complexity ramp and nice easy to understand ui and graphics - they’re everything a mobile game should be.

    There are some great horror and story games too, especially the Indy ones


  • First I would bang on a neighbor’s door and pay them to follow me with a camera then run into the fairly nearby motorbike shop and yell ‘quick I’m doing a Mr Beast challenge I need to spend a million dollars in the next half hour!’ all four guys working would jump at it especially if I said ‘give yourself 10% commission on each one’

    The only other shop near that isn’t just groceries is a wedding dress shop so I guess while they’re getting the paperwork ready I’d run in and buy their most expensive white gowns so that we could ride in style - though the train might get caught in the chain…

    Oh and I’d run into the pub and tell them to ring up as much as possible before the time runs out so we can all go there after to relax.
