Doesn't help much but I block the ads and ad companies when I can if they do fake ads.
You don't block all ads?
So...are there any mobile games that are actually what these fake ads pretend to be? Has anyone done real versions? That liquid physics game looks intriguing.
Where's my water is a water physics game that's been around for a long time.
I want to say there was a game on steam that was like...a bundle of these various "ad" games.
The title is extremely long. Like, "yeah you want to play those games from the ads? Here they are!" Or something.
Nice video. Its funny how he ends it with saying not clicking on the ads. Apps with in-game ads can actually click through for you, so you end up on the store page without any user input. That feels illegal.
I have been entertaining the idea of making a video about these ads as well, in the form of what's being advertised and what's actually in the game. Also the claims they make in the ads should be scrutinized. I want to raise awareness for these types of ads because reporting them to Google won't do anything and is notoriously hard (a dark pattern in itself, very convenient to Google).
Would there be any interest in videos like this? I have a bunch of ads recorded that are questionable as fuck and it might be a very depressing journey.
Honestly I think probably all android games are mostly trash designed to trick me, I only take games seriously when they are ports or emulators as an example here's what I have

Wow it's so hard to post an image on lemmy I'm not sure if I'll try again.
If it's hard to post images on Lemmy... Maybe use a better app?
Voyager works really well for this. I'm most others should work as well.
Honestly I'm not sure how to do it I just searched for image hosts that work on lemmy.
I use connect but as far as I can see it had no image options so I just posted the raw link.
I'll add I used voyager before but I'm not a fan of web apps and connects the best I've found.
I use connect too. When you reply it's the first button on the bottom toolbar
Edit: sometimes it gets hidden behind the keyboard and you have to scroll to see it
Yeah I was a bit drunk yesterday and obviously didn't look very well. Still looks lime you have to find a working host of your own etc though
That screenshot in my first comment was uploaded to lemm.ee/pictrs when I posted. If you get a cryptic error, it's probably because the image is too big
Nah, it accepts a link if you have it, but you can typically choose an image from gallery and creates a link with your home instance as the host.
I've never had a problem.
Any recommendation for how to find good ROMs? I have tried a few but the colors were all wrong and part of the screen weren't rendering well. I was using a well-regarded emulator, so I assume the problem was on the ROM side.
Not sure how much I can actually say on that and I know Nintendo been running rampant on things like that but I'd say by far the best emulator is PPSSPP and you either need iso files or psp I think exclusively cso files (compressed isos).
I suspect chd might work as well but mine are all cso.
Thank you, I'll give that a try.
What are some mobile friendly PSP games? I've played through Chrono trigger and all the gbc/gba Pokemon games way too many times at this point
Turn based rpgs mostly although you can of course connect a Bluetooth controller and the psp has really nice library .
Jeanne D'Arc, Disgaea 1 and 2, final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre would strike me as the most touchscreen friendly type of games being trpgs.
