Is she no longer with us?

She decided to move on but I think others may agree that many of us are missing her.

I did try checking in on her again after she didn't say anything to my last email, but she didn't respond

And yes, I was asking her about video games... lol

I've been enjoying the PC version of Fishdom lately. I'm getting closer to finishing the main game, but I didn't get many puzzles done in the same weeks that I was playing a bunch! I'm sure I can find a way to have both hobbies, but sometimes these things go in phases...

I have a couple other PC editions of Fishdom to play next, including the hidden object game that was my first Fishdom experience.

Seriously, why was all that junk down in the ocean?

For anyone who's curious, I get my PC games (full game, no in-app purchases) from BigFish Games.

I've considered installing that on my phone before lol but realistically I don't have time for it with the other games I am playing.

I had animal crossing pocket camp on my phone but it's pay to play and boring as hell. Stardew Valley has so much content I doubt I'll ever get to it all before I die. LOL! I am patiently waiting for the Concerned Ape guy to finish the Haunted Chocolatier as I want that on my phone as well. I saw a preview of it that looks hilarious. I found out how to retrieve the mayors shorts from Marnie's bedroom in Stardew and was left wondering WTF they were doing there to begin with. LOL!In the words of Billy Paul, they got a thing going on. LMAO!

Oh yeah, I left 7 Seas Casino and went back to the free membership at Pogo.com

Later on once I get things pd off and get some more cash flow, if I can afford it I'll get a pd Pogo membership. I miss playing Canasta on there.

There's lots of games on phones these days! IDK what kind of phone you have, but I have a Samsung, and there is a Google Opinions/Rewards app where you answer questions every now and then and get like 10 cents or a little more.. It adds up after a while so you can use it to buy cheap games lol

I have the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G. It can't handle any shooter games like PUBG without crashing. Most of the games on Google PS are pay to play or filled with so many ads it makes me crazy. A lot of them also crash. It handles Stardew Valley just fine. I can't afford pay to play and I am not putting anymore apps on my phone than what I need. I got the 64 GB? storage. I just don't like most of the games on there. The ones I did like kept crashing so I finally gave up.

If I'm not mistaken, the storage is expandable with a micro SD card to, probably, 1TB? But, if you don't like the games, I guess that doesn't really matter.

So a while ago I put this cute little assassin's creed rebellion game off the play store on my laptop. For some reason I don't recall, I got rid of it for something else.

This evening I put it back on my phone. Runs good. I played a couple times today already. I don't think you hafta buy anything and it's sort of a strategy game so it's kinda fun. Graphics aren't bad either.

I don't play games on my phone or tablet.

In the past I have tried a couple of the free version match-three gems games, but the adverts drive me nuts.

I don't play them enough to purchase any to get rid of the ads, so I don't bother any more.

Our favourite games to play (which I have mentioned earlier in this thread) are 'open world' genre on the Playstation 4.

Our current favourite is Horizon Zero Dawn which we have played, and completed, several times.

We intend to start it again soon, when we have the time

stardew valley is a game that's stand alone. no ads and no pay to play.

assassins creed rebellion isn't full of a bunch of ads and i don't think you gotta buy anything.

when the haunted chocolatier comes out on the playstore if it will work on the phone it's going on there.

I play Palia only a couple times a week now.. or no weeks at all when I'm way too busy. I went a while without playing (probably after the spring event I went MIA for a while)... but last week I planted a bunch of flowers, added a lot of outdoor decor (pavilion and wood pavers). I also separated my bug and fish collection into two separate tents on opposite sides of the property. I'm just building a lot instead of questing at the moment.

My next plan is to build a tree house maybe lol they have wood blocks where you can build things with them, so I'm going to buy some and experiment with that.

They made it so you can visit your friend's properties now (if they have their set to allow visitors)... same for visiting neighboring people. I had one person randomly appear at my house and I was like "WTF" because I didn't know it was a thing and that the default was to allow it xD I'll just keep it on because nobody can steal my stuff or ruin anything, so it's not a big deal. They can only steal decorating ideas, I suppose lol

LOL! I got rid of Elvenar already. Doesn't interest me. Been messing around in pogo.com. They have memberships but I've noticed ppl complaining about getting screwed on rewards and whatnot. Every time they get a game that's popular u gotta become a club Pogo member to play it. I miss Canasta.

I might get back there soon. I had just totally forgotten about the site! Silly me...

I installed BlueStacks (a free Android emulator) yesterday on my laptop, so now I can move to playing less on my tablet if I need space for other apps. Plus, bigger screen on the laptop for gameplay...

First game I installed for computer play was Lily's Garden. It's similar to the Playrix games I like, but in the past few months (or once I got to a certain game level?) it allowed watching ads for rewards. I like that because choosing to watch ads (rather than pay real money for in-game currency) is less annoying to me than ads forced after a certain amount of gameplay...

I'm also planning to use BlueStacks to teach the kiddos a bit about emulators, and other computer nerdy stuff.

I redownloaded Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. They are making a replacement game coming out on Dec. 3rd that I have registered for so that I can buy the new version for $10 and not have any pay to play crap to deal with. Then I can enjoy it. I also downloaded some cozy cat game. Secret Cat Forest. Will see if it's any good.

I've been making pretty good progress on my Stardew Valley game. I got the Pelican Town bus (driven by the local drunk) running by finishing some of the Community Center accomplisments. I can now visit the Calico Desert. I have made my way into the secret woods and done the goals for in there. I am slowly picking off the quests in my mailbox. I will be unable to get deeper into the mines until I get some things gathered up and get a game plan. Plus I gotta get my combat level up more. I did manage to get a different sword the other day on level 20.

Monday is supposed to be the day for the new 1.6 mobile update. Not sure if it will pop up on Google Play or ask me to update the app or what. I will hafta start a second farm to enjoy the update from the beginning.
