My journey has been an interesting pipeline of thinking I'm bisexual because "everyones pretty!", then doing the same with lesbianism, then realizing that oh, y'all were just aesthetically pleasing. I have no interest in anyone sexually. I also have no interest in romance, other than to lament could'ves and what-ifs at the idea of trusting another human enough to be embraced by them.
With my sexuality/gender, I got the triple A grade. Aroace, anorgasmic, and agender. Woohoo!
Haha honestly just go find a game that's been on your backlog for a few years, look on Wikipedia, then see if it has a console equivalent. Then go download a console emulator from the emulation wiki recommended in another comment.
For example, if I wanted to play the original Disgaea, I know it plays on the DS in addition to the PC. So why not play it on a DS emulator like Drastic?
Oh, in that case you might have a swell time with using an android phone for emulation. Just ignore playstore games for a minute.
I feel like you might not understand what emulation is based on you commenting that you aren't much of a gamer---basically, using a phone you can emulate different consoles. And they often don't have ads.
What type of phone do you have? On my S24 I can emulate up to Switch games, but a lot of phones can emulate up to the PS2 era. You can also look into something called "Winlator" where you can emulate windows games on the phone too.
How hard are they? Kinda intrigued.
Gotcha! I'll try my best to play without a guide then.
Though, out of curiosity, is there a need for a map or should I just run around doing whatever I want and eventually I'll beat the game?
Out of curiosity, what games do you play other than Cities Skyline?
If you just want something for portability + ten minutes of gameplay, what about an android phone you can emulate on + one of those phone controllers that turn your phone into a portable console?
I don't know. Things are going "better", but I'm kinda irritable for some reason. Like the "better" isn't coming fast enough.
