I personally can’t stand those neon icon themes, but this looks like a lot of care and work went into it! It’s always fun to see stuff that makes fellow Gnomies happy.
Then go get it! It’s still running strong, so why not?

Battle for Wesnoth
This one never gets the love it deserves. It’s a fantastic turn based strategy game with multiple campaigns and storylines, multiplayer, and campaign design tools. It’s an old project (started in 2003, IIRC), but it’s still fantastic
Hedgewars
Basically, this is Worms but with adorable little hedgehogs instead of, well, worms. Single player is okay, and it has online multiplayer I guess, but the real fun (just like in Worms) is local multiplayer. Also, it has Portal Guns. There’s really no downside to this one.

Re-volt io and RVGL
This one’s a little iffy. Re-volt was a fantastic R / C racing game with bright graphics, fun tracks, excellent controls, and a killer soundtrack. For good or ill, it was put out by Acclaim, which self destructed in 2004. The Re-volt fan community, however, doesn’t know the meaning of the word “quit.”
Nowadays, you can join a lively community with regular online tournaments of the game. There’s a new cross platform engine called RVGL (that’s Re Volt Game Launcher), and metric tonnes of mods and fan content. You still need the original game’s assets, though, which is where it’s dicey; they’re technically abandonware not open source, unless I’m mistaken.
Anyway, links!
Unciv
This project’s aim is to be Civilization V, but with more abstract visuals, and, or course, free. In short, it’s FreeCiv, but Civ V instead of II and a UI from the 2020s rather than the 80s. (Not throwing shade here; FreeCiv is an amazing project that is exactly what it wants to be!)
If that’s not enough to keep ya’ happy, I know a few more, but they’ve mostly been covered by other folks here.
Edit: formatting
Whether they’re online or not, if they’re preloaded with crapware they’re preloaded with crapware, and they’re still technically “smart”. If you’re trying to avoid dealing with those smart UIs, then they’re still a problem.
Depending on what you’re looking for, you might just want a computer monitor. Those are essentially “dumb TVs” without Internet connectivity or an operating system, and they have HDMI connections, so there you go.
You can also look into commercial TVs, although more and more of those are “smart” these days. Even if they’re smart, and they tend to be a bit more pricy, they aren’t preloaded with crapware and usually have excellent warranties. So that’s another option.

Kinda curious as to what actual Asian folks, whether currently in Asia or of Asian descent, think.
I don’t use the term anyway because I’m an old grognard and couldn’t grok the lingo, but it seems to me that they’re the ones other folks should be listening to on this.
I have to say, the quality of the English translation doesn’t seem great at first glance… but between offline, no tracking, and open source, this is wonderful. Keep up the good work!
I mean, you’re not wrong. I just can’t bring myself to use a chromium based browser unless I have no other choice. So here I am on Librewolf…
Having to unlock your phone and open the app each time is too much hassle.
And having to use two USB keys and double code scanning isn’t? I’m glad your system works for you, but it sounds like a pain in the but to me lol.
I agree about pocket, but… I thought Weave was just renamed/rebranded to Sync.

You’ve “debunked” dick, buddy. You are presenting an argument without proof (I have yet to see any evidence of my or OPs hypocrisy), and you can’t really “debunk” number 2, because it’s not a claim of fact, it’s just friendly advice.
And the reason I keep repeating myself is because I’m calling you on your bullshit. I kinda have to repeat myself if I have to keep reminding you of what the we’re talking about.
And of course you didn’t say you were winning. That would be too direct and assertive. But you’re acting like you are. You’re acting like you’re scoring points on me. You seem to think you’re being clever.
You’re not. You’re not scoring points, because there are no points, and you’re not clever because you seem to think you can, what, insult me?
Dude.
I’m a 45+ year old combat veteran who remembers flamewars on 90s Usenet. I’ve been dealing with shit like this longer than you’ve been toilet trained, possibly since before your daddy forgot to pull out. I’ve been torn down by literal professionals.
This? This is a picnic. This is a walk in the park. I’ll keep it up as long as I stay amused. But seriously, sunshine, you’re kinda just sad.
Ah. I’m sorry. I forgot to keep things at a 3rd grade reading level. Here, sweetie, I’ll tl-dr for you:
- Your quote about presenting arguments without proof? You’re the only one doing that.
- If you’re gonna insult someone’s use of language, learn to proofread.
It’s funny. I’m pretty sure you think you’re “winning” this. Dude, replying to you is just my way of having fun as I make more interesting things sitting on the toilet. I can keep this up as long as I’m sufficiently bored.
I’m kinda done with you, child. But let’s do this:
its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection
Yeah. You said that. Three times.
What you’ve failed to notice is that you keep calling me, and OP, hypocrites with no supporting evidence. I provided an example of your hypocrisy and explained why it was hypocritical. You didn’t. So if anyone is making repeated unsubstantiated accusations, it’s you.
So, by your own argument the only one projecting here is you.
I perfectly debunked your argument and my statement made perfect sensse.
No, you didn’t. You posted a link to the definition of the word, and then said “oh, you totally did both those things” (I’m paraphrasing here.). You didn’t point out where I or OP said anything that remotely met the definition you posted. So, to use your own dipshitty quote:
When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection.
You’ve repeatedly made the claim that OP and I are hypocrites. Nothing indicates that we are. So, you must be projecting, according to behavioral analysis.
Wait - are you not convinced just because I repeated myself? Welcome yo my world, kid. That’s all you’ve done this whole thread.
Oh, and you made an ad hominim attack against me questioning my personal grooming routine. So, there’s that too. Since you have zero information about my grooming routine, then, because…
When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection.
… I have to conclude that you are projecting, and could probably use a bath. And maybe some time away from the internet, out from under your bridge.
Oh! I almost forgot! You insulted my grasp of English with poor English. So, yeah. If you’re gonna call someone’s grasp of a language into question as a pathetic attempt at looking smart, here are two good rules:
- Don’t. You don’t know if English is their first language, and even if it is, you just end up looking like an asshole
- If you absolutely insist on doing it, proofread your fucking post.
Ta. It’s been fun.
Oh! I get it! You’re just a troll!
Aw, man, I can’t believe I fell for that! Wow, you sure got me.
I mean, surely if you weren’t just a troll, you wouldn’t tell me I should “get better English [sic].” That’s a kind of hilarious gag right there.
Also, when I gave you an example of your hypocrisy, you basically responded with “Nuh-uh! You are!” with, like, no explanation! That’s hilarious!
Oh! And then you repeated the “the community of behavioral analysis” bit when I actually explained why you were being a hypocrite, so it totally didn’t apply anymore!
Ah, man. Good troll. I haven’t gotten suckered that well in a bit. Well, I got chat botted a couple weeks back, but that wasn’t nearly as funny.
I’m sorry, I’m just not seeing the hypocrisy.
What is hypocrisy is calling people lazy because they don’t want to do work for a project they’re not sure they even want to use, while also excusing same lazy behavior for someone who is interested enough in the project to develop it.
That’s how you’re being a hypocrite. Now, if you don’t mind, please explain how OP is one. Or I am, for that matter.
Also, I’m not angry. You’re some rando on lemmy and I’m not that invested. I suppose I care enough to reply, but get pissed off? Nah, bro. That’s all on you.
Actually, this problem is why I stopped using Jerboa. It’s really weird. Of course, like an asshole, I never bothered to ask about it ornfile a bug report, because I’m a bad person.
I use Eternity now, and I like it a lot.
