    This is why the android Easter egg should always be a minigame and not just a sprite that changes colours when you tap it.

      You just reminded me of the cute cats that nougat had as part of that version’s Easter egg. I miss that little thing. Android 12’s sucks.

      I’ve drunkenly managed to turn on it reading out my key presses and some other weird accessibility setting. For the life of me couldn’t turn it off, we had three people all super drunk trying to figure out how to stop my phone from yelling numbers and letters. It was fun until I managed to get my phone locked with too many failed attempts.

        That is hilarious!

        I’ve actually played around in the settings after someone pointed out the magnifier that’s hidden in there, which has been a blessing for reading those evil sites that use code to disable the “force pinch to zoom” accessibility feature in my browser. (I have impaired vision.) There are definitely some settings in accessibility that are way beyond my needs though lol

    I save to disk, no one thinks about it until we’re all camping and I’m the only one that decides how many times we’re gonna watch Lord of the Rings this weekend.

    Retro arch/ any emulator is great for this. I can waste an hour on 1st gen Pokémon on short downtimes. And when im stuck in layover or on the train, I can crank out half the story of chrono trigger.

        Start retroarch > press load core > choose download core and download desired core(they’re organized alphabetically so scroll down for nintendo, sony consoles etc.) > press load content to browse your phone memory for the game you wanted to play.

        ^Above steps are only needed the first time.

        *If you’re confused about which core to choose you may find this handy in helping you choose the best option(or learn anything about emulators really).
