No, all I've got are these kazoos and other assorted noisemakers that you can take home to ~~terrorize~~ entertain your parents.

Being an uncle is pure joy.

"Here's a recorder."

-My step kid's music teacher on the last day of school

Those are the types of things I took as life lessons more than whatever useless "how to do your taxes" or "don't mix blah blah and whatever or the fumes will kill you" BS they put into the lesson plans. It's like the old expression: when you pull the pin on a grenade and drop it on the floor, you don't stand around to watch it go off.

As a boring-ass adult, then no.

For me, when I get the chance to play games it's gonna be on a big screen with a proper controller where I can actually enjoy it, where the experience doesn't feel compromised.

The types of games that work well on phones and feel ideally tailored to phones like tappy physics games and gem puzzlers and other stuff aren't games in the sense of having an "experience" they are more like time-passing distractions.

And if I need a time-passing distraction when I'm sat waiting at the bus stop then well - that's why I've got Lemmy.

I have 1 game I really play on my phone. Bloons TD 6.

Even on desktop I haven't found any td games quite as good.

Phones are great for emulation though, if you also get yourself a nice clamp-on controller. Given you then have a controller there are veeeery few proper games on Android too… the only ones I immediately remember are the GTA 3D Trilogy (pairs well with the PSP titles via PPSSPP).

In general it's really nice to play PS1, PSP, N64 and older that way while on the go. Of course a SteamDeck or SteamOS-compatible handheld is still better though, if you're into this (unless perhaps you got a powerful Android tablet with a huge screen). A clamp-on gamepad is more compact though.

And for some reason there's Rollercoaster Tycoon via OpenRCT2 for Android. Which might just be the best game on Android to kill some time.

Morrowind also runs really well on Android!

Emulators are pretty great. The touch screen isn't an ideal interface, but for less action-y games like final fantasy it's fine.

Haha, no. But I have a lot of gaming consoles and arcades with good games.
