2024.11.29 13:30 JcFuerza Top 10 Mobile Games of 2024! (my research and predictions for Q4 2024) Android
tl;dr 0 - (disclaimer): This year is finally coming to a close and it's been a fairly good year for mobile gaming. Numbers are little down which makes this the first year less people are playing mobile games, but it is still by far the biggest gaming platform on earth. And it takes years to develop games so the quality of the games themselves haven’t gone down. The problem of course is that there are too many games to choose from, so let’s get into the top 10 mobile games of 2024.
tl;dr 1 - 2024 has been a fairly good year, despite being a bit low in numbers, so here is my final list of the top 10 mobile games for 2024: Ex Astris, Katana Zero, Skul: The Hero Slayer, Warbits+, Death’s Door, Wildfrost, Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, Ozymandias, Guncho and Rainbow Six Smol (I give my reasons for choosing each one, so if one of these confuses you, make sure to read the post before raging 😂)
tl;dr 2 - I made all of this with game footage into a short HQ video here: https://youtu.be/5-c31d__amw
But for those of you who prefer to read, here is the Video Script:
This year is finally coming to a close and it's been a fairly good year for mobile gaming. Numbers are little down which makes this the first year less people are playing mobile games, but it is still by far the biggest gaming platform on earth. And it takes years to develop games so the quality of the games themselves haven’t gone down. The problem of course is that there are too many games to choose from, so let’s get into the top 10 mobile games of 2024.
As usual, this video is not talking about the top charts of Google Play and iOS. Most of those games are trash and the ones that are not, have been around for years. Rather, this video focuses on the AAA quality games that you’ll only hear about from your friends, except hopefully I’ll be telling you about them first.
The first game on our list is Ex Astris, a 3D sci-fi RPG, showcasing stunning visuals and engaging gameplay. You'll play as Yan, an investigator from Earth, tasked with exploring the vibrant world of Allindo. One of the standout features of Ex Astris is its innovative combat system, which combines elements of both real-time and turn-based gameplay. Players have the opportunity to time their attacks strategically, allowing for counter maneuvers and devastating combo attacks alongside allies. Each character in the game boasts its own unique backstory and set of skills, adding depth to both the narrative and gameplay experience. Unlike traditional RPGs that rely heavily on random battles and grinding, Ex Astris offers a more streamlined progression system that emphasizes skillful gameplay over mindless repetition. Success in battles hinges on the player's ability to master timing and strategy, rather than simply relying on brute strength. This approach not only keeps the gameplay challenging and rewarding but also ensures that every encounter feels meaningful and engaging.

The second game on our list is Katana Zero, an action-platformer renowned for its stylish presentation and exhilarating gameplay, ported to mobile devices by Netflix Games. Set in a dark and gritty world, players assume the role of a skilled assassin armed with a katana, tasked with unraveling the mysteries of their own past. The game's breakneck action and instant-death combat mechanics provide players with a challenging yet rewarding experience as they slash, dash, and manipulate time to overcome formidable adversaries. The combat in Katana Zero is exceptional, requiring players to overcome their opponents by any means necessary. This includes deflecting gunfire back at enemies, dodging incoming attacks, and utilizing traps and explosives to manipulate both enemies and the environment. The goal is to leave no survivors, ensuring a clean and efficient path through each level. The storytelling in Katana Zero is unconventional, featuring an enigmatic narrative that is interwoven with the gameplay through cinematic sequences. These sequences twist and fold, leading to an unexpected conclusion that keeps players engaged and intrigued throughout their journey. The narrative complexity adds depth to the fast-paced action, making the game a compelling experience from start to finish.

The Third game on our list is The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, a first-person adventure game that reimagines and expands upon the critically acclaimed indie title The Stanley Parable from 2013. Faithfully preserving everything that made the original game a standout experience, this updated version introduces a wealth of new content, choices, and secrets for players to explore. The familiar yet enigmatic labyrinth of the original game has grown even larger, offering a more expansive journey into its surreal and thought-provoking world. While retaining the tone and essence of the original, Ultra Deluxe introduces a visual upgrade to bring the game in line with modern technology. Despite these updates, the game maintains its unique charm, with Kevan Brighting’s impeccable narration guiding you through the twisting narrative with the same wit and humor that defined the original.

The fourth game on our list is Skul: The Hero Slayer, an action-platformer that integrates rogue-like elements, set in the backdrop of a Demon King's castle. This game presents a fresh twist on the classic side-scrolling platformer genre, offering dynamic and ever-changing maps that keep players constantly engaged and challenged. The storyline begins with an alliance between the Adventurers and the Imperial Army, who launch a massive assault on the Demon King's castle. This formidable coalition successfully obliterates the stronghold, capturing all its demonic inhabitants except for one resilient skeleton named Skul. Unlike typical skeletons, Skul possesses formidable fighting skills and a unique ability to gain new powers by wearing different skulls. Throughout his journey, Skul encounters a party of Adventurers, elite foes who hunt demons for sport. At the climax of each chapter, players face off against massive bosses corrupted by Dark Quartz, a sinister substance born from the pain and hatred of life. These bosses, imbued with overwhelming power, present significant challenges that test the players' skills and strategies.

The fifth game on our list is Warbits+, remaster of the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy game Warbits, which had previously earned a nomination for Apple Editor's Choice, garnering recognition for its engaging gameplay and strategic depth. With the remastered version, Warbits+ offers even more thrilling content and improvements over its predecessor. The game features grid-based movement mechanics, allowing players to strategically maneuver their units across the battlefield and unleash unique abilities to gain the upper hand in combat. Players can look forward to 20 challenging missions set in 5 diverse environments, providing ample opportunities for strategy and tactical prowess.

The sixth game on our list is Death’s Door, an exceptional action-adventure game. In Death’s Door, players assume the role of a Crow tasked with hunting down a stolen soul in order to maintain the balance of the afterlife. As a soul-reaping Crow, players must traverse through a mysterious and immersive world, engage in combat encounters using both melee and ranged weapons, while also tackling puzzles all while trying to get to the bottom of why things that should be dead just won't stay dead. One of the standout features of Death’s Door is its remarkable level and world design, which immerses players in a richly detailed and atmospheric environment. The fluid combat mechanics further enhance the gameplay experience, providing players with a satisfying and dynamic combat system. Additionally, the game offers a diverse array of weapons that players can wield, each with its own unique characteristics and playstyles. Furthermore, the ability to upgrade stats adds depth to character progression, enabling players to enhance their Crow's capabilities as they embark on their journey to confront epic dungeon bosses.

The seventh game on our list is Wildfrost, a roguelike deck-builder. In Wildfrost, players battle to save the world, with the only respite being the home base of Snowdwell and its survivors. To aid in this quest, players collect a deck of powerful companions and elemental items to use in battle. Wildfrost blends the narrative experience of an adventure game with the deep strategy of a deck-building card-battler, incorporating RPG elements into the classic roguelike deckbuilder genre. Each journey begins with a chosen tribe Leader, equipped with randomized skills and stats, as players navigate the frosty landscape. The turn-based battles rely on the countdown timers of cards, requiring players to strategically manage buffs, stalling tactics, and offensive plays. Between battles, players can rest in the town of Snowdwell, gradually expanding the hub with new buildings and unlocking additional cards, tribes, and challenges. With over 160 cards to choose from, replayability is ensured through daily runs and challenges.

The eighth game on our list is El Paso, Elsewhere, the mobile port of the third-person shooter that combines fast-paced action with a gripping narrative, immersing players in a world of intense action and eerie atmosphere. Set in a bizarre, reality-shifting motel in El Paso, Texas, players must fight their way through floors filled with a variety of dangerous supernatural creatures, including werewolves, fallen angels, and other cursed beings. With its vivid and stylish depiction of intense gunfights, including frequent use of slow-motion dives, the game serves as an homage to classic action titles. What makes this game unique is its surreal setting. The game begins in what seems like a three-story motel, but as players descend into the building, they find themselves navigating through an additional 46 stories, all underground. The motel's shifting architecture and ominous atmosphere create a dynamic and suspenseful experience.

The ninth game on our list is Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit, the delightful life-simulation game by Netflix Games, offering a heartwarming sequel where players are tasked with helping ghostly bears find peace. Stranded on a mysterious island after a bus crash, you play as a Spirit Scout who must explore the island, meet endearing spirit bears, and assist them in recovering their memories. As you gradually bring life back to this spooky yet charming island, you can customize your campsite, craft, build furniture, and bring vibrant color to your surroundings while hoping to eventually reunite with your lost scout troop. This sequel expands on the beloved life-sim with a variety of new features, offering an even cozier experience. The island is more detailed than ever, with a relaxing watercolor art style and daily activities like crafting, decorating, fishing, and cooking. Whether you are a returning fan or new to Cozy Grove, the game provides a calming atmosphere perfect for unwinding at the end of a stressful day. The island is full of surprises, with new quirky spirit bears, adorable animal companions, and fresh quests to enjoy.

The tenth game on our list is Ozymandias, a mobile port offering a streamlined approach to the 4X strategy genre, allowing players to build and command their own empire in a single sitting. Set at the dawn of history during the Bronze Age, the game focuses on the rise of the first empires. Players expand their borders, build cities in strategic locations, and raise armies to defend their territories, all while navigating the challenges of managing their growing empire. The gameplay is uniquely simplified compared to traditional 4X games, allowing players to focus purely on strategic decisions without the micromanagement often associated with the genre. Each turn presents new opportunities, but players can only choose one, creating a system that demands careful planning. Victory conditions are randomized for each game, ensuring a new experience with every playthrough, and custom victory conditions allow players to tailor the gameplay to their preferred style.

So those are the top 10 mobile games of 2024, but I do have 3 more honorable mentions for you.
The first one is Guncho, a portrait turn-based tactical Wild West shooter-roguelike game. Players engage in unique positional shooting mechanics, fighting through a series of randomly generated levels. In this game, you play as Guncho, navigating through encounters against various enemies in a series of randomly generated levels. The primary weapon is a revolver, and the gameplay revolves around aligning bullets through tactical moves and shooting strategies. This unique positional shooting mechanic requires players to think strategically about their movements, shots, and the unloading of bullets to influence the rotation of the revolver. The environment plays a crucial role in Guncho. Players can use the surroundings to their advantage by targeting explosive barrels or pushing enemies into hazardous obstacles like fire or deadly cacti. Guncho features hex-based tactics gameplay, providing a structured yet dynamic battlefield. The game includes a variety of enemy types, each with different movement patterns and skill sets, adding to the complexity and challenge. At the end of each run, players face a final boss that tests their skills and tactical finesse.
Guncho - Apps on Google Play
The second honorable mention is Rainbow Six Smol, a roguelike shooter experience set in a dynamic and challenging environment. At its core, the game revolves around completing various missions that range from defusing bombs to rescuing hostages. These missions require players to navigate through destructible buildings, strategically plan their approach, and engage in tactical combat encounters with enemy forces. One of the standout features of the game is its top-down isometric perspective, which provides players with a unique vantage point of the battlefield. This perspective allows for strategic planning and precise coordination of movements and attacks, adding depth and immersion to the gameplay experience. However, failure comes at a cost, as losing a mission results in the permanent death of the player's recruit, requiring them to start anew.
Rainbow Six: SMOL - NETFLIX - Apps on Google Play
The last honorable mention is Loop Hero, a tactical roguelike, set in a world trapped in an endless cycle of chaos by the sinister Lich. Players wield a deck of mystical cards to strategically place enemies, buildings, and terrain along a dynamically generated loop path, creating a perilous journey for the hero. In Loop Hero, the core gameplay revolves around planning and strategy. Before embarking on each expedition, players select from unlockable character classes and deck cards, which determine the challenges and opportunities they will face. As the hero traverses the loop, players must place cards to create a balanced path that maximizes loot collection and resource gathering while managing the difficulty of encounters. Loot and upgrade mechanics are central to the hero's progression. Defeating enemies yields valuable loot that can be equipped immediately, enhancing the hero's abilities and providing new perks. The game also features a robust camp expansion system. Resources gathered from expeditions can be used to upgrade the survivors' camp, providing valuable reinforcements and enhancements for future journeys.

2024.11.29 13:30 timsofteng Big tech invite me to the technical part. Do you guys have any thoughts how to prepare to it?
Hi. I'm ordinary web dev with about 6 yoe. Nothing special about me. I just do my job on the frontend and the backend sides. I live in EU. I've applied to vacancy from FAANG. After some time they invited me to my first interview with a recruiter. After this interview, I was invited to an interview with an engineering manager. Now the company invites me for a technical part. I'm quite scared to go to this interview. Here are some details about it
UI Problem-Solving Exercise (60 minutes) In this session, you will collaborate with one of the engineers on implementing a UI feature. You'll need to carefully select and justify the use of an appropriate data structure while exploring other possible options. Key points to focus on:
- Consider all use cases and apply common UI design patterns effectively.
- Start by asking clarifying questions to fully understand the task before diving into a solution.
- Clearly outline assumptions about the requirements, design, and overall strategy.
- Present a structured approach to tackle the problem, breaking it into manageable parts and prioritizing effectively.
- Maintain regular communication with the interviewer, sharing your thought process openly.
- Identify potential challenges and adapt to feedback to refine your implementation.
My questions
- Is it ok to ask recruiter how to properly prepare to this interview?
- Do you guys have any recommendations how to try to pass such kind of an interivew?

2024.11.29 13:30 LostFocus_69 Looking for reliable anime apparel (shirts/sweaters)
So I had just posted maybe 2/3 hours ago with the same question and I got 1 reply stating Crunchyroll. However for AoT apparel they only have sweaters, which I don't necessarily like.
So here goes round #2
I am struggling with finding a website/shop to buy anime apparel, specifically AoT. Although other anime like dragon ball would also be good. It would be a Christmas present for my twin :).
Does anyone has any more recommendations beside Crunchyroll? It's also fine if the shop is located in Japan I guess, that would be more reliable aswell? Anyway, thanks in advance!

2024.11.29 13:30 Agitated_Patriot_24 "FC Provided" prep - what is it?
Anyone work at an FC that can tell me what "FC Provided" prep is on an incoming FBA shipment?
Even if an FBA seller labels everything themselves and selects "Seller" prep (meaning FC should have to do nothing), there are some ASIN that show up on the pack list as FC PROVIDED for prep.
I guess this is something additional on top of any selleFBA prep that someone does... perhaps so that is ships extra safely or something that Amazon wants but does not require the seller to do... ?
Any input appreciated from someone that would know and understand.

2024.11.29 13:30 jesuisnick Guarantor is on the hook for unpaid rent - can she cease being guarantor after paying, and can she claim it back from the tenant? (England)
Hi everyone, hope somebody can help with a situation that a non-Redditing friend is in.
She offered to be guarantor to a colleague when he needed somewhere to rent. He didn't pay the rent, and she has now been informed she has to pay £3,000. I guess that is straightforward - it sucks for her, but it is her liability as guarantor as far as I understand it.
She will pay, but she would like to know if she can remove herself as guarantor after paying up. Would she be tied in as guarantor for the duration of the tenancy agreement, or can she remove herself at any point?
The second question is whether she can claim this back through small claims from the tenant. I do not know whether this would be considered "her" debt to pay as guarantor and therefore not recoverable from someone else. (Whether he actually could find the money to pay is another question of course, but even a payment plan would be something).
Sorry if any of these are stupid questions. She has got into this situation by trying to be kind and help a struggling colleague, so I really would like to be able to pass on some helpful advice if there's anything she can do to make the best of the situation.

2024.11.29 13:30 RemarkableFix6508 Why is the copper corroding?
I was adding another receptacle down line into an outdoor kitchen. The fresh wire is no more than 20 days older. The roll has been stored near the kitchen so they have all been exposed to similar conditions. The kitchen is made from paver block, it has all been run in PVC conduit, and I live 3 miles from the ocean in Virginia. I fixed the connection on the hot.
Is this normal or should I be concerned? Could it be the sheathing protects it that much? Do I need to worry about the grounding screw too?
