Okay, probably not all of them but after playing Sim City Buildit for quite a few years I suddenly decided enough is enough and deleted the game. The thing with this type of game is that you become addicted to something that never ends and end up wasting time and battery life on something that’s ultimately pointless. I could have thrown money at the game to make it less of a chore but I’m not that rich or that stupid.
Anyway, I’m now putting old PSP games onto my phone. I love retro emulators.
Actually, perhaps I am stupid.

My favourite time filler while on a long tube ride is Logo Quiz. It shows you part of a corporate logo and you have to guess who's it is.

My wife enjoys world building games, they can keep her quiet and contented for hours at a time. Very beneficial to my mental health. ![[grin]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/CBubFSUbXfyoLMZUjeBb.gif) |

Terrible News Alert!
I forgot the game was still on my iPad so I’m doing it again so my plan now is to avoid the competitions (main cause of pointless stress) and just complete the regions. Mind you, I’ve tried doing that before and failed but let’s see what happens.
If all else fails I guess there’s always the suicide option.

I become less and less of a fan of mobile gaming. So many games are monetized in the worst way.

I become less and less of a fan of mobile gaming. So many games are monetized in the worst way. The pay to win model is one of the ways they’re screwing things up. I used to love playing Asphalt 8 but it got to the point where I felt like a hamster on a wheel going through the same tracks over and over again to win pretend money while being goaded into paying a stupid amount of real money for cars that don’t actually exist. Not that I bought any of those cars. I finally deleted that game a couple of months ago. |

People who play Candy Crush Saga in their car while waiting for the traffic light to turn green are a menace.
They continue to sit there blocking traffic until the light cycles through green then turns red again.
You can't really roll down your window, honk your horn then yell at them:
"The light is never going to get any greener!"
Because then they will get out of their car with a gun and shoot you.
Those are some of the ways that America sucks on a daily basis.

But are mental games bad for your mobile health?

Actually, perhaps I am stupid. How does that even work without a game pad controller? If there isn't any game pad controller or keyboard and mouse, then there isn't any point in trying to play it. Secondly, the current game development environments that force game developers to simultaneously port the game to all platforms results in crippled games with inferior graphics. Seriously, the game graphics are so bad that the games should be for free and gameplay is so abysmally buggy that actually having to pay for it on "steam" is like being ripped off. store.steampowered.com/app/1324340/Made_in_Abyss_Binary_Star_Falling_into_Darkness/This one size fits all approach to forcing game developers to only develop HTML5 or Java games is a broken system that doesn't even challenge the low end cheap $65 dollar video cards. Possibly it might be useful for training beginners to make a game using C# or Java that gets compiled into HTML5 but beyond that it is just a waste of time for serious game developers. Let's just face it that the IBM PC customizable desktop platform is the ultimate gaming experience that no console system will ever be able to touch, because it is the same platform used to create the games to begin with. |
