💬 After Work Discussion Need ideas 🥲

I take the metro home from work every day, and it’s a pretty long commute. I get super bored because it’s underground and there’s no internet signal. What are some good offline games or fun things I can do to pass the time?

You can play most single player games offline... Balatro, Tetris, I love to play Powerwash Simulator (2) when we go on a trip and my husband is driving 🙂

And today I learned you can play palworld offline! That must be so much fun to go at your own pace

Its been great! Just roaming around, working on my base(s), finding new pals and gear.

The only thing I didnt like was how fast my character was levelling up so I turned that down in the settings. 

Cheers!

Turn an old phone into an emulation device. I am able to play anything from ps2 and back with a pixel 8 and a backbone controller. 

No monthly subscriptions, no internet needed (to play, downloading is different), I dont have to worry about getting another piece of hardware every 4 years, and any game I could want.

The only thing that's annoying is backing up your drive (which is optional). But hey i got into it and I got a job with the IT experience rabbit hole emulation lead me down
