WELCOME TO THE MOST INTENSE PRO-ANDROID LOYALTY IDENTITY THREAD IN THE HISTORY OF NERD PISSING-CONTEST BRAND ENTHUSIASM.
DISCUSSION OF APPLE PRODUCTS AND IOS SOFTWARE IS NOT WELCOME HERE!!!!
Android L is amazing and material design looks great, what I don't like about Android L are the parts that are not material design enough
here is a list of good apps I enjoy on my Nexus 5
GAMES
Adventure Bar Story: I'm going to make an entire fucking thread later about this stupid anime RPG cooking game for little girls and grown men that want to be little girls and nobody can stop me
ALL KAIROSOFT GAMES: Not weird or janky enough to actually warrant its own thread probably but every game made by this company plays decently and has the cutest little fucking pixel graphics. Brentai don't play this the graphics will annoy you.
PIXEL DUNGEON:
RETROARCH: It runs every and any emulator you want in a universal environment with global or individual settings for all of them. Touchscreen controls are okay but I got a controller for mine.
WEAPONS THROWING RPG: A cute engrishy title where you battle enemies in real time by throwing axes and swords at them high, medium or low. Good enough for me to keep playing even though it has that stupid energy/AP requirement stuff.
Pixel Dungeon: Graphical roguelike made just for mobile/touchscreen. Simplified but great for pick-me-up-and-play fluffiness.
INGRESS: ARG game you've only heard of if you're a huge nerd, walk around on google maps and capture territory before other huge nerds can claim it, coordinate global efforts with enormous nerds
INFLATION RPG: New Game + over and over again to see how many full digits of levels you can gain before dying or running out of battles. One game is 30 battles. By your second game you'll be killing a level 700 enemy as your first battle at level 1 and skyrocketing ahead in levels and skipping over entire areas. A game about progression metagame.
OTHER STUFF
LIKE EVERY APP GOOGLE MAKES YOU HAVE REMOTELY A USE FOR: Pretty much this stuff is all slick as hell and it all works together really nicely. Google will steal all your personal information just like everyone else but when they're not using it to further some kind of global takeover agenda they're actually DOING USEFUL THINGS WITH IT. It's like I have a stalker who goes through my mail to find out everything about me but then shows up and actually knows all my favorite things and what news I want to see and when I'm going anywhere. I guess the important thing is a phone can't stab you usually???
NETFLIX, YOUTUBE, THAT KIND OF STUFF: Most of these are pretty obvious. Twitch has a decent app. VLC for android lets you watch Outer Heaven on your phone or tablet. Spotify, iHeartRadio, Songza, Pandora, and Google Music don't count against your data if you have tmobile.
BUYCOTT: If you get so pissed off at politics and bullshit that you want to literally not give a single dollar to [INFURIATING ASSHOLES RUINING THE WORLD OF YOUR CHOICE HERE] this app lets you join boycotts of specific causes and companies, and then scanning a barcode will tell you if you hate the people that own that company or not
WIKIPEDIA: It's the official goddamn wikipedia app and it works fine if you don't have it what the fuck are you doing get it
OBENKYO: If you're a huge enough nerd like me to think Japanese stuff is cool and want to learn Japanese this is a great app for it, get a stylus and you can write japanese characters by hand over and over until you can never forget them even if you wanted to late at night
