With no sound?
The car and the tablet have Bluetooth?
Makes sense, would the parents agree?
Bad Piggies would be pretty fun.
Retroarch and tons of roms. Would set me up for quite a while.
It's amazing what your phone can run, even better if you have a Bluetooth controller.
Install Aurora Store and then any free game that you want
Simon Tatham's Puzzles
40 different puzzle games. You won't like all of them but you'll like plenty and they're all super addictive so even one of them will keep you busy for a few days.
Fdroid
Find any offline game that works on my tablet, install as many as you can before you leave. Spend 3 hours cycling through random half good games until you find an awesome one as you arrive, play that on the way home.
Antistress and alchemy 2
A BTD game, probably BTD6 but BTD5 would do
Amazing Alex. Also ppsspp with Everybody's Golf
I'm sure you can still get them going today.
Now I wish I did play these games when I had my chance.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon and/or Hoplite. Or maybe an ebook reader.
The only games I play on my phone
this is the way
only half an hour
no information on the internet connection quality
Minetest I guess. Can't trust that I can get Retroarch plus the cores and games I want on time, and it's not worth the hassle for only 3 hrs drive.
Doesn't matter, if I'm 12 then it will always be the wrong thing.
Awh, self esteem is important little man, don't beat yourself up!
All or nothing thinking, also known as “Black-and-White Thinking,” is a common cognitive distortion that manifests as an inability or unwillingness to see the shades of gray, or the more complex picture. In other words, you see things in terms of extremes – something is either fantastic or awful, you believe you are either perfect or a total failure.
I needed to read this today thanks.
A small pillow and sleep.
This is the truest and most correct answer, but it comes with a huge drawback!
Lol, I've not seen that pic in forever.
But for real, even kids need sleep (actually more than adults due to still developing). Road trips for me when I was young was either: Cassette Walkman, listen to parents radio or look out the window. Sometimes having nothing got boring (especially driving through Texas), but I think it helped my imagination and self reflection time.
Lithium apk and Light Novel epubs.
If I want to play games downloading Retroarch + SNES cores + a good story based game like Chrono Trigger or Earthbound could do the trick, however I like reading on a bigger screen more, and I really dislike playing a game on a big touchscreen.
Tachiyomi
Which was discontinued, use Mihon instead, it's an active Tachiyomi fork
Still works. Just cause it's not being developed anymore doesn't mean it stopped working. Mind you I am using something based of Mihon nowadays, TachiyomiSY
Yeah I only found out recently because I had thought that it'd been an oddly long amount of time since the last update. Went to check for updates and the button was gone, so I flew over to the github page and saw the announcement lol
I'd recently joined their Discord before it all went down. Like it happened within a month or so :/
I kept using YouTube Vanced up till I started getting video ads which took about 2 years iirc. ReVanced was eaiser than I expected to setup, thought it'd be a hassle which is why I put it off for so long.
A book.
What you really mean is a fully free software e-book reader with copies of fantastic public domain works as provided by Project Gutenberg?? I sincerely agree!
Y'know, I'd sure be willing to reread The Great Gatsby!
Myne is a Gutenberg frontend with ereader included and it's on F-Droid.
Libby works great in my area. Connect it to your library card and grab some ebooks.
Sure. Or a bunch of ~~recent bangers~~ Linux isos as epubs and use them in whatever reader you want. I prefer iBook as an Apple user, but that doesn’t fit the scenario presented.
A tablet, you say? Seems like a good reason to finally try Unciv.
And maybe Organic Maps if the driver needs help navigating.
A much more mobile-friendly 4X game is Polytopia. Doesn't look like it's on F-Droid but the apk is available: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/midjiwan-ab/the-battle-of-polytopia/
Unciv works perfectly fine on a phone if you feel like risking significant amounts of your time (:
I found it uncomfortable on my phone's small screen.
Guess someone's gonna be countin' telephone poles along the way!
(Like I did when I forgot to bring a book or a travel game.)
Teach your kids to count motorbikes and cyclists and they learn to see them when they're adult drivers.
Ooh, I like it! Especially as a fellow two-wheeler!
ReadEra and a bunch of pirated ebooks from libgen. Basically the top 10 of the 3 genres I like most.
Bonus is that books are a few 100kb at most, so even with a poor internet speed I can download them in seconds, no problem.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon.
