If I had to pick some of my favorites:

• BuzzKill, Gives you total control over your notifications. I use it to auto clear apps that think they need to have a persistent notification like VPNs, Smart Watches, etc.
• DuckDuckGo, For their very useful, (In my opinion) app tracking protection proxy that they have built into the app.
• GAMEYE, For tracking my physical games collection and my extensive Amiibo collection.
• Grayjay & Revanced , For when I want to watch YouTube on mobile.
• Image Toolbox, Great for doing a whole bunch of different things. Works especially well for image related tasks, but does more stuff than that too.
• LocalSend, Airdrop but cross platform and open source. Really good.
• Privacy, An app that links to your bank account and lets you make virtual cards to obfuscate your real debit card. Super useful as well for setting up with subscriptions so you can just turn the individual card off instead of having to go find the subscription cancel option for each service.
• p!n, A very simple app that adds a quick actions menu button to pin a notification. I use it to essentially add reminders and notes to my notifications real quick.
• rdx, A simple Reddit viewer for when I have to view a Reddit link for any reason. shudders
• Shortcut Maker, Super useful app for when I’m not using Niagara Launcher. Let’s you make home screen app like shortcuts for a wide variety of things, including going to specific settings, launching specific sets of apps, and way more. Used to be my favorite app before I got into Niagara.
• URLCheck, Acts as a middle man after I click a link, telling me a bunch of info about it before letting me pick which browser I want to open it in.
• Niagara Launcher, my launcher of choice. Not for everyone, but I have found it makes navigating my phone super fast. I have tried so many different ones, but the fact that the app drawer is always on open on the home screen and I can navigate to each letter quickly made it the best for me.

Anyway yeah, those are some of the ones I use frequently. Sorry for not linking to them, but it would have taken forever lol.

Just started using Image Toolbox a few weeks ago, shits fucking dope.

Not original commenter, but I got the hell off of Swiftkey after Microsoft bought it for privacy purposes. That could be why.

I’m so hyped for that DLC. I’m hoping it makes VS even more expensive and fun. It’s a match made in heaven.

That’s my favorite Castlevania game!! Good luck with your runs! I’m so hyped for the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC.

I’ve also been playing with my buds WEBFISHING which is basically an Animal Crossing esc chill fishing game with lots of neat stuff to do. It’s really fun to play just to hang out with your friends and chat.

If you want something more intense as well, STRAFTAT just released yesterday and it’s fun as hell. It’s basically a Free to Play (Not P2W) 1v1 arena shooter that’s really hectic. It’s got a really strange aesthetic that I really like and it’s quite fun for a free little game. And if you end up liking it, you can throw the devs a bone and buy a $5 DLC that adds more maps, weapons, and cosmetics. They even made it so only the host has to buy the DLC and anyone who connects gets to play on those maps with those weapons for free. Really neat little game and really fun with a buddy.

Just got into Metaphor ReFantazio! Just reached the first major dungeon and so far I am very impressed. Quite a lot of great QOL stuff over the Persona series, and it has a very well written story with a very unique vibe so far.

I personally think I still prefer the vibe of Persona over Metaphor, but this is seriously a really cool game. I highly recommend you try out the Prologue demo even if you’ve never played Persona before or don’t care for JRPGs, because this is something truly different and I think there’s still a chance you might like it. The demo is super meaty too since it’s literally just the first four hours or so of the game.

Can we talk about how he is directing people to not donate to him, but instead donate to help others in his area. Absolute Chad.

I agree with you 100%. Especially in the early game it can be quite hard to figure out what to do next until you learn how the game does hints and explanations. It’s very rewarding when you do figure it out though, and the dopamine hit when you have the many “eureka” moments in the game is unmatched in my opinion.

I also think that the obtuseness didn’t bother me as much because I found the original legend of Zelda to be quite obtuse as well. That being said I also agree you should keep a pen and paper nearby. I actually made a digital journal while I was playing the game and it turned out to be really fun to look back on! Such a unique experience!

Have you checked out Tunic? That game very much scratched the itch for a more classic style Zelda and it may be up your alley!

Shhhhhhhhhhh ;)

Wow they blocked wine? That sucks wow. I bet that means Steam Deck compatibility is a no go now too huh. That really is too bad.

Haven’t personally used it but I heard there is a native Roblox client for Linux called Grapejuice. Might be worth looking into to solve one problem. I have no idea if it’s good or not but here’s a link: https://brinkervii.gitlab.io/grapejuice/

I feel like this group of people are the kind that would already be on Linux though. If you’re that anti Microsoft why be on any version of Windows when such a great suitable replacement that also still works on these older systems exists?

The best part of this meme is the shoddy watermark coverup job!

For me right now, Shadows of Doubt. It is an early access game and it’s got a fair bit of jank, but it’s crazy how unique it is. It had a week or so of popularity and then it fell off. The devs just released an update for it too!

If you like the immersive sim genre, might I also recommend Cruelty Squad and Gloomwood. Those two have very unique aesthetics and really cool mechanics.

It’s a bit more than just the intro portion. It puts you three or four missions into the “Evelyn” quest line.

Really hoping for a new Legends game. Legends Arceus was the first pokemon game I felt the desire to finish in ten years. It was so unique and interesting. It was very very very rough around the edges, but here’s to hoping that the smaller scope could make a game that’s more polished than Scarlet and Violet and maybe a bit prettier too.

Honestly at this point I almost feel like the only way a Pokemon game with decent graphics could release is if Gamefreak outsources the development.
