Are airplanes just supermarines?

Sounds like you've got some classics lined up but I'd suggest throwing in some more casual stuff too, especially if you're losing interest in the long-form, story-based games. Something like excite bike or crazy taxi or road rash (I'm partial to old racers) or anything where you just pick it up, play a few rounds and move on. Think arcade style.

I made a favorites list in retroarch and cycle through it. I'll play the story-based classics too but sometimes it's difficult to get invested with dated graphics and sound. The pick-up-and-go games I find more accessible as I'm getting older.

Paranoia Agent just cause I don't see it listed here yet.

Ninja Scroll (the movie is much better than series imo).

-hops on nix soapbox- As someone currently trying to set up a NixOS server, your bullet point descriptions of it are incorrect except maybe the last 2. You're just describing Arch.

In fact Nix tolerates user error extremely well and arguably makes every effort to be error-proof. A wrong user config means it flat out won't compile and just revert to the past working config.

I agree it's a pain - at first - and requires a strong base knowledge of how Linux in general works. -hops off-

Loved their first 4 albums then dropped off after a few years.. came back to listen after they released their first "non-Armory Wars" album, Color Before the Sun - loved it. Went back and listened to their full catalogue. They are currently my favorite band. Seen em a few times headlining and at fests. Their fans are inclusive, passionate, nerdy, and it makes it fun.

Chrno Crusade sorta I guess. You'll tend to see more Catholic motifs than Christian in anime. Even then it's not usually explicitly using Christian or Catholic themes, more just aesthetics.

Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve

Played them as demos back when that was a thing and I didn't get why there's spheres popping up making battle stop (semi-turned based combat) and why there's a dude named Ashley.

Tried again a couple years later after playing FF7, connecting that they were all by squaresoft, and it all made sense. Absolutely became a couple of my favorites.

It's old by now but I'll chime in with Cardcaptor Sakura.. I enjoyed that as a kid at a similar age.

Battery is good for me. Lasts about a day and a half, almost two days through my standard use. Hasn't dipped from that at all in the months I've had the phone. Super quick charge.

Battery is replaceable as well. Haven't done it myself but it's looks very simple.

Stock android. There was an initial issue I had with the physical keyboard mis-matching keys (I'd press one character, it'd type another) but there was a fix I found from the fxtec forum by disabling "Accessibility" permissions from "Android Assistant".
