  • Aside from other suggestions already made (but seriously the answer is SPD)

    • Peglin - think if peggle was a roguelite inspired by slay the spire
    • Mini metro - minimalist puzzle game where you built out a metro system
    • Balatro - yes you can get balatro on your phone (it was in the op)

    Edit: balatro was in the OP so I’ll add another

    • Brotato - made a bit harder than the PC version with the touch controls IMO, but still a good time killer on the phone


  • What do you mean there are no such things as farmer’s markets?

    What do you mean there are no such things as other grocery chains that isn’t Wal-Mart, Kroger .etc?

    Exactly that, it’s all in the article.

    The only shop is a dollar store.

    All these things you expect are absolutely not a given everywhere.

    Besides, why the fuck would anyone want to live in the smack of no where?

    Predominantly because they don’t have the wealth or income necessary to live anywhere else in most cases. Y’know because of the poverty…?


  • There are absolutely millions in poverty in developed countries like the US who do not have any ability to buy fresh food.

    Being able to eat healthily is a privilege in 2025, which is fucking disgusting, but absolutely true.

    There are towns in America where the only place for a hundred miles they can buy food is a dollar store. These shops don’t typically stock anything fresh or particularly healthy.

    The people there will be too poor to live anywhere else and might be working multiple jobs (as is typical in American poverty) so will not have time/energy to attempt to grow anything themselves

    We are lucky that we can eat healthily, but don’t let yourself think that’s a choice everyone gets


  • Yeah it’s not a particularly obscure character in some languages, so it’s not really going to affect an LLM at all, it’ll already know what to do with them. Hell you could write in MSN era fancy text using characters incorrectly and I’d not be surprised if an LLM had no issue decoding it.

    Heart’s kinda in the right place, but the only outcome is going to be confusion and frustration from humans.

    Edit: was curious about the assertion I made about MSN text

    Seemingly no trouble











  • Honestly I don’t see the issue with this as it’s reported.

    It’s not banning resale, it’s just banning resale for profit.

    The only real downside I can see is the people who were actually paying the crazy tout prices will have to be more organised and get the tickets when they are released, since I imagine the touting will be significantly reduced (some people will still break the law) if there’s no profit to be had.

    I’m curious as to what you think the issues might be





  • A stylophone is more of a toy than an instrument, really

    If you want a small synth that you’ll actually be able to use to make music and learn, I’d say look into the Korg Volca series. They’re only around twice the price of the stylophone, and are much more powerful in terms of what they’re capable of.

    There’s about 10 of them now and are very affordable for what they are, which is a combination sequencer and synth. They can also be connected together to sync up, so you could have one doing drums and another doing a bassline or something.

    Look into YouTube videos about them and decide which you think would best help you make the kind of music you’re looking to make.
