...its been their game the whole time

The U.S. took his passport away as he was in transit, right when that happened (literally blame your own gov't for this, it wasn't his decision) he was getting a connecting flight in Russia. He's since stayed there.

Crazy that you...think that Russia, what, had control of the American gov't and got them to revoke his passport mid-flight? Is that what you're getting at?

In a fashion! Here you go:

You don't need the full lot of apps, just pick and choose what you want and need! When there is an update to it, Obtainium will fetch and install it for you!

Typical 'Americans' who are very gung-ho for their gov't and the nonsense it spouts get angry that Russia gave him a safe space to live. They love to bring up that he lives in Russia now, so I'm going to assume this is what they're (very ineffectively) trying to say

I avoid it like the plague.

My main personal phone is on GrapheneOS, and my work phones are as basic as possible with what they run. The only time I really ever spend on Play Store (and even then I tend to use Obtainium instead) is for when I review retro handhelds which emulate.

F-droid/Izzy and so on have everything we need!

Thank you very much!

I just realized -__-

Worst reflection of my lack of research there. I did just add a callout in the intro reflecting my own idiocy on that front (there's no excuses)

You're right!

If you're open to it, there are seas to sail where you can download said APK and run it without issue. Not a 100% fix since some don't, but I have others which did and do!

As Axolotl said below, make sure you use F-droid to search for Droidify. It looks and behaves far nicer than plain old F-droid and gives you many more options!

And enjoy, I'm so glad my article helped at least one person find new things out there :) :) :)

Oh no, you're totally fine. And you're not the only one of 'that guy' who let me know! I hope you'll forgive me pasting a comment from above explaining my unexplainable stupidity on this one:

because yes…I was a complete idiot and didn’t realize these were in fact on Play Store. That is unforgivable because research for articles is like my thing, but I just never use Play Store, outside of being for emulation on retro handhelds I review.

Sorry for the confusion! I did add the callout at the bottom of my intro to explain my idiocy

You know what, I think I shall!

I appreciate it :)

OH that's really nice to hear!

Are you loving it? I still have mine on my shelf each and every day. Right now it is playing Olivia Rodrigo's latest album. But I mean...also for games. So happy to hear it helped you!

Soon TRIMUI will be sending me their Brick Pro and Pro U to review (which I am very much looking forward to testing!)

I love the Brick Hammer, my favorite of all perhaps :)

You're very kind, but I still think I am an idiot for not making sure of that!!!

:)

My guess is, it was edited after posting here? That’s why some people pointed out the games are available on Play Store as well.

This was news to me, too! Gardiner edited it overnight (it is morning here in Australia now), because yes...I was a complete idiot and didn't realize these were in fact on Play Store. That is unforgivable because research for articles is like my thing, but I just never use Play Store, outside of being for emulation on retro handhelds I review.

Sorry for the confusion! I did add the callout at the bottom of my intro to explain my idiocy, but the title was definitely a late edit.

It is the Lime Green Japanese DSi exclusive color!

Yes! But not a physical copy, I'm using this with my DSi:

This one arrived in the post just in time for this news the other day

Absolutely, feel free to send me a direct message here!

Thanks, it was my latest DSi pickup (there's been a lot)

This one is a color exclusive to Japan, it is the Lime Green one :)

Yes, very!

If you're not morally against the idea, I recommend you consider your legally purchased GTA V copy to just be a license, and then either download a crack to apply or pirate one. Rockstar requires a online check in to play your single player game.

And I am well and truly against that idea. But regardless, yes it plays well!
