So, i recently go a newer phone, which should be able to run games halfway decently. So far, i haven't bothered with mobile gaming at all. Do you guys have any recommendations for good games to play on a phone?

I am willing to spend a few bucks on a game, if it is good.

Stuff i don't want to deal with: Ads in game. Exploitative microtransactions. Whatever else similar horrible bullshit there now is in mobile gaming.

Meteorfall is a really fun deckbuilder. Simple, elegant, and most of the time all you have to do it swipe left or right, so it's as convenient as it gets for playing on a phone.

I enjoy Pokémon. Depends on your area but it gets me out and about meeting strangers from Discord.

Fire Emblem Heroes is pretty fun. The pricing scheme is so bad that you'd have to have a severe addiction to spend money, and it's pretty generous with its free content.
The classics should also be considered: Minesweeper, Sudoku, etc

I enjoy Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. It has a pretty good PvP element to it. EA is the publisher, so it's filled with lootboxes and addictive mechanics designed to get your money, but if you can withstand the pressure, it's remarkably easy to get to the top and stay there as f2p. You also don't really have to worry that you're starting late into a 3 year old game, because the arenas are separated and you'll be matched with people who started playing the same time as you. Some will be whale alts, crafted specifically to crush a new arena, but other than deep pockets and knowing how to prepare at low levels, they start from the same place you do.

Is the reason people aren't suggesting Dragon Ball Legends because they end up using micro transactions to play (I don't play frequently enough to need that)?

You should see a gastroenterologist, but it may be a hiatal hernia or a spasm of the esophagus.

Yeah, demand to see a specialist, none of that sounds typical.

Lets say I'm standing ground level in an open field. Im looking straight ahead, without moving my eyes or head, focused on the horizon. How much ground am I able to see at once? Is there a square footage calculation or dimensions for this? What's the distance straight forward ("bottom" of my vision to the horizon) compared to the distance from left to right (also spanning it's furthest point).

edit: let's say I'm 6 feet tall

If you assume the earth to be a perfect sphere, then the distance to the horizon would be the same in every direction, which is you can derive geometrically as:

d^2 = h^2 + 2*R*h

where:
d = distance to horizon
R = radius of earth
h = height to your eyes

Now you'll take that distance, and calculate the area... You can treat the earth as flat at such small surface area calculations and induce almost no error, so:

Then just take horizontal field of view over the whole circle, so for humans roughly 210 degrees / 360 degrees.

A = pi*d^2*(human horizontal field of view)/360

Now that we're talking about a practically flat piece of land, you're looking more of less horizontally (a couple meters down over the distance of several km). Your eyes have a field of vision roughly 70 degrees down compared to what you're looking at, and since you're looking horizontal, technically you can't see a very small distance near you, tan(20)*h, which is negligible.... Therefore the area you can see is:

39.659 million m^2 or 39.659 square km or 426.89 million ft^2

(I used 1.7m for the height to a 6ft person eyes)

The distance straight forward is 4652 meters. The distance spanning the furthest point left to right will be twice that (9304m), as you're seeing a a fraction of a sphere, and since the 4652 meters is the radius, and you can see more than 180 degrees of the circle, the furthest distance between points would be the diameter 2*r = d.

@JimmiC
check if it's based on specific foods then find their common denominator and eliminate it from your diet(the pain is from the liver imo, unless ulcers).
it looks like some intolerance to me.(see FOODMAPs, especially sugars - fructans/maybe fructose)
And my fury stands ready. I bring all your plans to nought. My bleak heart beats steady. 'Tis you whom I have sought.

Small correction,

d^2 + R^2 = (R+h)^2

---> d=Sqrt((R+h)^2-R^2)

Edit: Sorry, that is the exact same equation as above.
Nonetheless, i guess this might explain it a bit further where it comes from.


Pythagoras, based on a right-angled triangle with the right angle at the furthest point where your gaze meets the ground.

I don't think simberto's math adds anything, but 5 points for the MSPaint!

Indeed, as my edit describes, it doesn't add anything, but it shows where the equation is based on. Which has value on its own. Just stating an equation doesn't help people understand what you are doing, i think from a teaching point of view what i did was still valuable, even if it was based on me not figuring out quickly enough that the two equations are the same because i just woke up.

I think it is important to not only know the answer, but also how you can derive that answer from base principles. Otherwise, you never reach the point where you can actually answer new questions yourself.

Thanks both posts were very helpful with answering my question!
