Ask Lemmy

I just lost interest. I used to play PUBG Mobile for example, but now it's basically transitioning into Fortnite-style game instead of something more realistic. I used to play CODM, but there's so much paywalled crap to click through that it became less fun.

And also, they kept getting larger, and larger. I think CODM may now be taking some 30-40GB. That's a lot for a mobile game. I'll rather use the storage for something else.

For example, a few days ago I installed and set up a Navidrome server on my phone in Termux. Navidrome can't do folder-based categorizing, so I had to play around with the actual metadata to achieve what I want, but I also didn't want to alter the original files. So now I have duplicate music which means extra 19GB. That's still less than even just CODM. And I have more fun with stuff like this.

If I did have the extra storage... I'd use it for Wikipedia maxi package (110GB) and install kiwix-tools in termux to serve it.
I really wish 1TB MicroSD cards were cheaper.

Edit: Perhaps I could just delete the 110GB of DVD ISO files that I used exactly 0 times. Or just get at least a 512GB memory card instead of current 256GB. Yeah, probably that. I hate deleting files. But this can't go on forever...

I found less and less returns to sit at a desk for several hours a week. I play maybe 60hrs a year and it's mostly just replaying the same games I played when I was a teenager.

OP is a bot. Read its comment history.

After years realized it's total waste of time. Reading books is zillion times better than playing games and watching TV. Finally realized truth which wize man said: I found gamas and TV very educational. Whenever somebody play or turn TV on, I go to other room and read.

I prefer to play the game of life, pretty similar to video-games but instead of wasting time you have to spend money you don't have to buy useless shit to impress people who don't give a fuck and keep working to pay your debts, just part of growing up..
