  • I mean yeah but after using Bazaar a little more, I realized that it would still have the same issue that I’m having with the website. If there are other apps that show Flathub’s catalog, I’d be interested in trying them but I never found any others last time I looked. As I’ve stated before, I don’t care too much about how it works, I just need to be able to reliably see every app that’s available. At the bare minimum, I’d except something similar to how Droid-ify works for F-droid (a third party app store for android), where I can set it to sort the apps by newest first and then scroll down to the last app I’ve seen and work my way up. It’s tedious but it works.


  • Actually yes, I have it installed already. It unfortunately doesn’t do what I’d need it to. For example, if you go to the games category in Bazaar, it’ll say that there is 701 apps but it only shows 96. But now, if you go to the Flathub website, it’ll also say that there is 701 apps but there are 24 pages with 30 apps each.

    Also, if you are wondering why I’m not just using the website, I’ve mentioned it in the past but I forgot to add to my previous comment. Basically, the issue is that I’d have to go though every page manually and keep a spreadsheet of every app I’ve checked because the order that the apps are listed in changes occasionally.


  • They don’t have to be graphical but there are some things I can think of that I’d really like to have or see improved.

    Some form of an app that will allow me to get the most out of Flathub. I know that I wont use every app that exists on Flathub but I would like to have some app that will allow me to at least see every app that’s available. I don’t care if it’s something as simple as just a list of every app in the order they were added, preferably sorted/sortable by oldest first and multiple pages to make it easier to find where I left off, or if it’s something more intricate, like a full app store experience with an app recommendation system that filters out apps I’ve already interacted with.

    Something will allow me to get better use out of GameFAQs, I was thinking about something similar to Anime Plus but for GameFAQs. If you’re not familiar with Anime Plus, it’s a companion app for My Anime List that creates a temporary profile based on your MAL account and gives you a list of anime/manga that are missing from your account and gives recommendations for new anime/manga. If that’s not possible, similar to Flathub, I don’t care what is made for it. Right now, I’ve been using documents to keep track of everything but I noticed that this isn’t reliable because there is no way to be notified of when new games are added since games are only sorted alphabetically.

    I feel like there are more things but I can’t think of anything else right now.





  • Okay, I’ll check that out. Thank you.

    Also, I’ll be fine if I can’t use Ubuntu Touch, but I just don’t want to be locked into exclusively relying on emulators. If what I read is wrong and there actually isn’t a way to run Linux applications on them, then I might have to go with the android based ones.

    I have also heard that some of them come with, or at least you can set them up to have a dual boot between android and Linux. So regardless of whether or not you can actually run Linux applications on them, I can still use android as a backup if needed, assuming that it’s true.


  • I’ve actually been kind of interested in the Anbernic devices, especially because some of them apparently come with Linux. I’ve heard that the Linux distro they use is Batocera, which is just a frontend for emulators, but I have also heard that their devices do support normal distros like Ubuntu Touch. The only reason I haven’t bought one is because they just didn’t seem worth it at the time. It does seem like their hardware has improved since I last checked, so maybe I’ll buy one at some point.


  • Most modern video games. I don’t have the ability to, not only buy games from most digital storefronts, but also buy a device that actually has the specs to run them. And when you take into consideration the fact that most modern games are live service games, that means that I probably wont even be able to play them by the time that I do manage to get a device that could have ran them. It’s difficult to get hyped over a game I know I probably wont be able to play.


  • I live in the US. I actually checked online for what my state requires to get an ID and I don’t think it’s possible for me to do without my parents. The only things I have access to are my SSN and possibly my birth certificate but I would need to provide several additional documents that I either don’t have access to or have no idea how to provide them. It also seems like there isn’t a way to get one online unless you’ve previously gotten one, which I obviously haven’t.



  • My life is pretty much in limbo right now. I can’t get a job because I don’t have a bank account and I can’t get a bank account because I don’t have an ID and I can’t get an ID because my parents wont get me one. I’ve been asking for a bank account ever since I graduated high school back in 2016 but they just keep telling me “We’ll get you one eventually, we just don’t have time right now” despite the fact that they sit around playing video games all day. What frustrates me even more, is that they let my sister get a bank account and a part time job back when she was still in high school.








  • Not really, but I’m not against it. When you remember that in order to even get the death penalty, you have to be such a horrible person that you’re pretty much no longer human, I don’t see a problem with it. And then there is also the issue of the government has to pay potentially millions of dollars every years just for keeping you in prison/jail, so it also has financial benefits (not that the government needs more money, especially considering the fact that they constantly waste it on meaningless bullshit).

    But I am also aware of the potential problems, like innocent people getting the death penalty. As a result, I think the death penalty should only be used in situations where there is absolutely no possibility of innocence. This means that the motive is clear and proven, and the evidence for even committing the crime(s) is/are solid.


  • I literally just finished the 3D remake of Final Fantasy 3 (PC version) before coming here. After I’m done here, I’m going to start playing Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe.

    I also somewhat recently finished the original PC version of Doom 3 and it’s expansion pack. I understand why people don’t like it as much as Doom 1 and 2 but I still think the game was good.
