Do you enjoy any mobile games at all? I know most of them are stuffed with paywalls and daft monetisation tricks, but have you ever stumbled across a proper gem hiding in the rubble? (piefed.social)

I'm legitimately addicted to Umamusume Pretty Derby, which is a gacha game but I've been playing for many months and while you can give them money they don't really push it very hard. There's a surprising amount of depth.

I also like idlers, shout-out to Almost A Hero and the hilariously unhinged Crush Crush.

For a more traditional timewaster I also play a lot of Downwell.

I've seen so much Umamusume Pretty Derby art and propaganda on my Tumblr, and now it just got best ongoing game award or smth at The Game Awards, so I'm slowly becoming convinced. I'm just nervous to add another gacha to my list 😅

It's a fun sports management game. The races are often very exciting, you can skip them for time but I almost never skip races that might be close and find myself shouting encouragement at my phone in public, lol.

You could always watch the original anime or the absolutely phenomenal Cinderella Gray spinoff, see how it strikes you. Legitimately pretty great sports drama and the characters are a lot of fun.

If you do play, send me your Trainer code!
