i hear the voices when I'm dreaming

Been a while since I posted (oops)

Summary of life:
* 2020 is still 2020.
* I did have successful, albeit quiet, birthday. (Turns out 42 is not a magic age with all the answers.)
* I have a new game addiction (Yoshi's Crafted World) and it's way too much fun.
* My computer died for no particular reason so I have been computerless for eons (since last Thursday). Still have internet through phone and tablet, so I'm not in withdrawal, but it does kinda suck
* pets and niblings are all still hella cute
* brainweasels still savage as duck. Or maybe goose. (Duck was an autocarroting but I decided to keep it)

Um yeah there's probably other stuff but I can't think.

Jedi hugs to anyone who wants them.

Unrelatedly, the worst part of Ravelry being down is I can't commiserate with my rav peeps about the "horror" of rav being down. Kind of like when your internet goes out so you try to send an email saying you have no internet...

Anyway. I haven't done more writing up the apps I like best, but one of my newer ones did a "we will give you 50 gems for leaving a review in the App Store", and I figured the information may as well go here too. I've added a bit of detail so it more matches the previous rec post, but it's only one app this time. (Not necessarily my favorite though... but high on the list. I may eventually get to reviewing the more meh apps/games, but I'm doing the ones I like first.)

Diggy's Adventure

Indiana Jones meets The Mummy meets "smash all the pots" video game rpg logic, with a charming retro feel and a sense of humor.

Games

Okay so a few months back, I was going to post about the games (mostly iOS) that I was obsessed with, only then I decided I had to do the Best And Most Thorough Recs Ever. Which sort of made it such a stupendously monumental task that I never did it.

I still may do a more in-depth thing later, but these are my current or recent iOS games. (Some may be available on other platforms, I don't know.)

The Game Formerly Known As Abyssrium

I'm sure they had good reasons for changing the name from Abyssrium (which evoked the premise of a deep-ocean virtual aquarium) to "Tap Tap Fish" (ugh) but the change very nearly kicked it off the list. But ... eh.

Zen Koi

Here, fishy fishy fishy. Pretty fishy.

Merge Dragons!

This game has taken over my life, I think. I even get the Tetris effect of closing my eyes and seeing MD stuff.

I have more, but this is enough for one post /) I'm not sure whether the remainder will be one post or two.

Feel free to ask me any questions about any of these apps.
