“Getting nicked” as in getting pickpocketed, swindled, or otherwise taken advantage of?

There are some decent to good video games available on Android & iPhone, of a wide variety of genres.

If you have the self discipline to not let gaming take over all your spare time (whistles innocently while totally not looking in mirror), it’s absolutely worth getting into.

Where to start? I recommend keeping it simple. If you don’t already own a desktop or laptop computer at home, it’s probably easiest to stick with games on your phone.

• ask friends & family what games they play, particularly those who fall on the same side of the Apple/Google divide as you.
• open your app store and look at lists of popular games by genre. Pick a free one, download it, and try it out. If you don’t like it, delete it and try another one.
• if there’s a news or culture site whose judgement you trust & like to follow, even if it’s not a technology or gaming related site, it’s worth spending a couple minutes to see if they have review articles or recommendation lists available. You can even find a related Lemmy community and ask there.

Personally, I play the following:

• an older logic puzzle game
• a free klondike solitaire game
• Egg, Inc - this is an idle incremental game available on both iOS & Android
• Leaf Blower Revolution - just started this one. It’s in the idle incremental genre as well. Available on iOS, Android, and through Steam. Supports cross platform play by way of cloud saves. I picked it up a week ago and it has been fun so far.

I don’t have the reflexes for active combat games. I like RPGs but prefer to play those on desktop.

Makes me think of the “My name’s Buck and I’m here to fuck” scene in Kill Bill.

Demi Moore, Julianne Moore, and idk but probably has the last name Moore

Navy seals are a bunch of fucking arrogant chodes

What about races where all candidates are hirsute?

In my defense, I’m half asleep, and due to lack of caffeine, didn’t notice the bit about “which could actually happen in the next 5 years.”

So with that in mind, I’ll say something about environmentally friendly raw materials for super efficient battery storage.

Star Trek-style matter replicator/recycler. Just imagine being able to empty a garbage dumpster into a bin, shut the lid, press a button, and an hour later you get stacks of industrially useful metals & materials, bolts of cloth, and sacks of fertilizer.
