Why BlueStacks Changed the Way I Play Mobile Games

Practical perspectives from a gamer’s experimentation for a tool used by 400+ million users Discovering BlueStacks It all started with my need for better controls. If you’re a gamer like me, you know how frustrating it can be to play a mobile game with awkward touch controls. I’m used to playing games with a keyboard and mouse or a controller, so when I tried out Rocket League SideSwipe on my…

magia exedra news ig

official release is SUPER soon. at thursday, march 27!

Previously, Madoka Magica: Magia Exedra had an “expected release date” of May 25, 2025 on Apple App Store and now has changed according to the planned release date.

Here is the full roster of the magical girls expected to appear in the game on release (still mad there is no Nagisa or Ui.)

So I played PPMS on Light side. It sucked about as expected. Some random thoughts:

People hate Ranger but Paladin really isn't that ahead: no m armsmaster, bless heroism gatekept by dragon, no gm heavy armor. Early beeline for m sword helps but you're stuck at fiftish damage for most of the game.

Paralyze chance is too low. I don't think even 3d paladin would have solved the issue much. At least we actually had monk kill things endgame. He meleed sharks too!

you get paralyze spell on light path. Throw 3-4 points into light and it's safe and better than mace. Just paralyze multiple titans, it's nice.

yea everything get paralyzed, including Tolberti. Flying creatures fall to the ground too.

trying to melee with maces queens of the dead, titans, etc, while they run around gg.

in the end, most monsters are just not that dangerous to buffed light party. So you are simply killing monsters slower.

The monk:

devs really made this one to be solo class on purpose. On paper monks stats are good, especially bodybuilding with unarmed dodge and armor stacking. But you need soo much fiddling with gear and skill points monk just feels like a dead weight most of the game. Play if you find joy savescumming multiple +skills gear. The disarm traps is not an issue though, since hirelings stack.

In the end i just believe that nwc failed at most new classes and made old ones from VI worse. Many restrictions are completely arbitrary, there is no reason for druids to lack gm magic for example, and so on.

In the world of indie and middle market gaming today, there are no shortage of games that combine deck building and roguelite elements. It’s become as tiring as a horror game where you find random objects in a small map while trying not to trigger a jump scare, or anything based around survival and crafting mechanics. To stand out from the crowd, you need to do something special, and that’s what the anonymous developer “Localthunk” has done. This was managed simply by removing the usual dressings and focusing on as simplistic a core idea as you possibly can – building poker hands. It gets absolutely absurd from there.

Do you know what this is? Probably not. But if you follow me and enjoy retro gaming, you REALLY should know about it.

I see all of these new micro consoles, and retro re-imaginings of game consoles and I think to myself "Why?" WHY would you spend a decent chunk of your hard-earned money on some proprietary crap hardware that can only play games for that specific system?? Or even worse, pre-loaded titles and you can't download / add your own to the system!? Yet, people think it's great and that seems to be a very popular way to play their old favorites vs. emulation which requires a "certain degree of tech savvy" (and might be frowned upon from a legal perspective).

So, let me tell you about the Mad Catz M.O.J.O (and I don't think the acronym actually means anything). This came out around the same time as the nVidia Shield and the Ouya - seemingly a "me too" product from a company that is notorious for oddly shaped 3rd party game controllers that you would never personally use, instead reserved exclusively for your visiting friends and / or younger siblings. It's an Android micro console with a quad-core 1.8 GHz nVidia Tegra 4 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage (expandable via SD card), running Android 4.2.2. Nothing amazing here from a hardware perspective - but here's the thing most people overlook - it's running STOCK Android - which means all the bloatware crap that is typically installed on your regular consumer devices, smartphones, etc. isn't consuming critical hardware resources - so you have most of the power available to run what you need. Additionally, you get a GREAT controller (which is surprising given my previous comment about the friend / sibling thing) that is a very familiar format for any retro-age system, but also has the ability to work as a mouse - so basically, the same layout as an Xbox 360 controller + 5 additional programmable buttons which come in very handy if you are emulating. It is super comfortable and well-built - my only negative feedback is that it's a bit on the "clicky" side - not the best for environments where you need to be quiet, otherwise very solid.

Alright now that we've covered the hardware - what can it run? Basically any system from N64 on down will run at full speed (even PSP titles). It can even run an older version of the Dreamcast emulator, Reicast, which actually performs quite well from an FPS standpoint, but the emulation is a bit glitchy. Obviously, Retroarch is the way to go for emulation of most older game systems, but I also run DOSbox and a few standalone emulators which seem to perform better vs. their RetroArch Core equivalents (list below). I won't get into all of the setup / emulation guide nonsense, you can find plenty of walkthroughs on YouTube and elsewhere - but I will tell you from experience - Android is WAY easier to setup for emulation vs. Windows or another OS. And since this is stock Android, there is very little in the way of restrictions to the file system, etc. to manage your setup.

I saved the best for last - and this is truly why you should really check out the M.O.J.O. even if you are remotely curious. Yes, it was discontinued years ago (2019, I think). It has not been getting updates - but even so, it continues to run great, and is extremely reliable and consistent for retro emulation. These sell on eBay, regularly for around $60 BRAND NEW with the controller included. You absolutely can't beat that for a fantastic emulator-ready setup that will play anything from the 90s without skipping a beat. And additional controllers are readily available, new, on eBay as well.

Here's a list of the systems / emulators I run on my setup:

Arcade / MAME4droid (0.139u1) 1.16.5 or FinalBurn Alpha / aFBA 0.2.97.35 (aFBA is better for Neo Geo and CPS2 titles bc it provides GPU-driven hardware acceleration vs. MAME which is CPU only)

NES / FCEUmm (Retroarch)

Game Boy / Emux GB (Retroarch)

SNES / SNES9X (Retroarch)

Game Boy Advance / mGBA (Retroarch)

Genesis / PicoDrive (Retroarch)

Sega CD / PicoDrive (Retroarch)

32X / PicoDrive (Retroarch)

TurboGrafx 16 / Mednafen-Beetle PCE (Retroarch)

Playstation / ePSXe 2.0.16

N64 / Mupen64 Plus AE 2.4.4

Dreamcast / Reicast r7 (newer versions won't run)

PSP / PPSSPP 1.15.4

MS-DOS / DOSBox Turbo + DOSBox Manager

I found an extremely user friendly Front End called Gamesome (image attached). Unfortunately it is no longer listed on Google Play, but you can find the APK posted on the internet to download and install. If you don't want to mess with that, another great, similar Front End that is available via Google Play is called DIG.

If you are someone who enjoys emulation and retro-gaming like me, the M.O.J.O. is a great system and investment that won't disappoint. If you decide to go this route and have questions, DM me and I'll try to help you if I can.

It’s likely the GTA Trilogy mobile release and GTA 5 E&E for PC have been canceled. This is just my speculation, but it’s been well over a year for both and Rockstar hasn’t said anything.

Maybe we’ll hear about the GTA Trilogy at the Take-Two call, but I highly doubt it.

The Zachtronics Solitaire Collection

If you’ve been plugged into the indie scene, you have probably heard of Zachtronics before. A small studio created by one Zach Barth, Zachtronics has been responsible for a lot of unique games, usually puzzle focused, with Zach also having some infamy for making a game some believe lead to the inspiration for Minecraft with Infiniminer. Some of the studios’ most notable releases included SHENZHEN I/O, EXAPUNKS, and Eliza, the latter a bit of a formula breaker as a visual novel about mental health and technology based therapy. The studio seems to be closed as of the release of Last Call BBS, Zach Barth interested in escaping a niche his studio grew into, though he did give us one last gift under the studio banner with The Zachtronics Solitaire Collection. This is as the title suggests, a collection of solitaire games Zach developed for seven of his previous games, along with one new unique and punishing game exclusive to this collection. Considering how fleshed out these games have been just by themselves, having them in a single place instead of an extra in a unrelated game is very welcome.
