An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? ( sh.itjust.works )

You're twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You'll be leaving for Grandma's in about a half hour, and she's lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and there is no headphone jack. Google Play complains that the device isn't certified or whatever, but that isn't going to stop you from downloading apps from third party websites using the family computer. Plus, you have one great advantage: F-droid is installed and ready to rock.

You must hurry, because you wont have an internet connection once you hit the road. Quick, what apps do you install? You have 128GiB's at your disposal.

Bad Piggies would be pretty fun.

Stubb ,

Retroarch and tons of roms. Would set me up for quite a while.

BluesF ,

It's amazing what your phone can run, even better if you have a Bluetooth controller.

Install Aurora Store and then any free game that you want

Simon Tatham's Puzzles

40 different puzzle games. You won't like all of them but you'll like plenty and they're all super addictive so even one of them will keep you busy for a few days.

Fdroid

Find any offline game that works on my tablet, install as many as you can before you leave. Spend 3 hours cycling through random half good games until you find an awesome one as you arrive, play that on the way home.

Antistress and alchemy 2

Traister101 ,

A BTD game, probably BTD6 but BTD5 would do

istoff ,

Now I wish I did play these games when I had my chance.

istoff ,

I'm sure you can still get them going today.

mediOchre ,

Shattered Pixel Dungeon and/or Hoplite. Or maybe an ebook reader.

nintendiator ,

only half an hour

no information on the internet connection quality

Minetest I guess. Can't trust that I can get Retroarch plus the cores and games I want on time, and it's not worth the hassle for only 3 hrs drive.

metaStatic ,

Doesn't matter, if I'm 12 then it will always be the wrong thing.

Awh, self esteem is important little man, don't beat yourself up!

All or nothing thinking, also known as “Black-and-White Thinking,” is a common cognitive distortion that manifests as an inability or unwillingness to see the shades of gray, or the more complex picture. In other words, you see things in terms of extremes – something is either fantastic or awful, you believe you are either perfect or a total failure.

I needed to read this today thanks.

A small pillow and sleep.

What you really mean is a fully free software e-book reader with copies of fantastic public domain works as provided by Project Gutenberg?? I sincerely agree!

Y'know, I'd sure be willing to reread The Great Gatsby!

windie ,

Myne is a Gutenberg frontend with ereader included and it's on F-Droid.

mox ,

A tablet, you say? Seems like a good reason to finally try Unciv.

And maybe Organic Maps if the driver needs help navigating.

leverlo ,

A much more mobile-friendly 4X game is Polytopia. Doesn't look like it's on F-Droid but the apk is available:
