Do you have an example of apps designed for creating bootable media switching to a paid model?

Thanks for explaining. I didn't know it went unmaintained for a while. I thought programs like balenaEtcher and Rufus might have other issues I was unaware of like certain OSs not flashing correctly

 

That and verifying the checksum are the big reasons I can think of. I feel like for the most part though using something like balenaEtcher is so much easier.

Thanks for the suggestion. That does really neat and I think I'll check it out.

The VCLauncher looks like it might be able to help the game run on modern operating systems so I think I'll see if that works.

How long ago was that?

 

I've played a fair amount of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam and had a fair amount of fun with it. I liked the jungle combat that added some stealth elements and weapons that were present.

To be clear I don't mean to sound insensitive. I know about the Vietnam war and how distasteful a hero shooters around it could be.

You can check the emulation wiki and see which ones they recommend. I'm not sure which are available on F-Droid but most of them are available through a GitHub page

You need to have sound on. She's getting cussed at for what she's doing

Yeah. Pull it and go to a different floor and look around. You aren't standing around waiting for them unless you have some weird 1930s pull station

 

Setting off a detector might give you a time bonus while they investigate.

I was watching the Simpsons episode where Homer is a firefighter and that gave me the idea.

Good point. I had forgotten about disabling network access. I think a majority of the games I paid for work off the idea that if you connect a few times or have a certain amount of plays times you can then play offline. Well the ones that check that is.

Maybe I'll give this a go. Thanks for the advice

What data would be sent off having Google Play services installed? I get that you can disable certain permissions and can also use profiles.

Ideally I wouldn't want to use profiles. I could use something like Shelter on a rooted device but that kind of slows down multitasking

Thanks but I'm shooting for as little contact with Google as possible

I've tried lucky patcher with a few games with minimal luck. I haven't tried it with Stardew Valley though so maybe there's a chance

Why not go NES?

I own Stardew Valley but I am avoiding using the Google Play store when possible. While I could just sign into Aurora Store with my Google account I think I'd need to install Google Play Services so I am wondering if I could crack the game myself. I think in the past people used Lucky Patcher but I have tried it with other games that I own with no luck.

I've looked through the megathread and it seems like there are versions of Stardew Valley uploaded to Mobilism but a majority of them are modded for things like infinite stamina and money. The version without mods on Mobilism also appears to be re-uploaded from Apk Vision which isn't in the megathread.

 

Let's say the PC doesn't count and you aren't taking into account backwards compatibility, emulation, online play, homebrew games, and the cost/availability of games.

I feel like I'd want to choose the PS3. Like the Xbox 360 it had a decent lifespan and a lot of games were produced for it. A lot of which are already some of my favorites.

The only things that would make hesitant are I feel like a lot of modern games are larger and have open worlds which I feel like that could be nice in the long run and many of my favorite games for the PS3 have been re-released.

It cracked me up when they sent this to me.

I feel like I'm going to get Nintendo E-Shop giftcards based off of the amount of Switch games I've been playing despite now owning a Switch.

 

The idea is to come up with goofy million dollar ideas that you thought of in the shower, while going to bed, or during a fever dream that would get you laughed off of Shark Tank.

Like white t-shirts tie dyed with red wine for suburban moms so they can get as day drunk as they want or a pitching machine that shoots safety razors blades for the little patches of grass that grow in sidewalk cracks.

I recall hearing about Alovoa a year ago and while it sounds nice with no ads or paid features, being open source, and private data being encrypted I have to imagine the userbase is incredibly small relative to other services. Google Play lists it at over a thousand downloads but it's also available through F-Droid so that may not mean much. I have to imagine the userbase is mostly men which might prevent some users from joining or sticking around.


Either way (TL:DR) I'd be curious to see what your experiences are with open source dating apps or even apps designed around making friends.

 

I've seen some videos and guides but a lot of them are dated back multiple years.

I'm primarily looking for something to use for watching 3D movies.
