May I ask what games you play? There's a couple I really like, like XCOM, but... man, I've scoured the app store for hours every 5 months, pick 5 games, install m, and get frustrated with all the shit. Just inapp this and that left and right, no gameplay, lots of multiplayer games with 0 strategic component and they're either massive time sinks in grinding or pay to win...

Other than an occasional racing game, they's just nothing there I'd play. And even racing games get old fairly quickly, tilting a screen as a way of controlling a car isn't exactly the type of coordination challenge that keeps me enticed for long.

I totally hear you on little time to settle into a PS4 game, life with family, work etc... it's tricky to get a good session in like the old teenager days!

Anyway I get the appeal of a tablet to some extent for non-work stuff, for sure. I have a tablet. But the pro-element I don't get, especially when paring it with e.g. a keyboard etc, then I'd prefer a laptop. But I just can't imagine doing actual work on that thing, over e.g. a Macbook!

Anyway let me know if you have game recommendations on iOS!

  * Riven
  * Ocean horn (I have a Nimbus controllers for my AppleTV I figured I’d use for this one)
  * DOOM
  * SpaceMarshals: Turn based team shooter games can be fun
  * Space Age: The graphics remind me of the original XCOM games
  * Legend of Grimrock: Looks like old "Lands of Lore" games?

Occasionally I'll see something on the App Store that strikes my fancy. But usually I just check out TouchArcade every month or so and see what the top rated stuff is and go from there. I end up with a lot of older games that way, but it's all NewToMe™ So that works.

The one routinely annoying thing on the iPad Pro: When it wants to capitalize something, it's gonna do it, like it or not. Back-spacing, holding SHIFT and typing the letter again has no effect. See the "So" up there. The only way to get around it I've found is to type the letter twice, then cursor back and remove the capitalized one.

I'm not sure if it's an option in auto-correct settings I can disable but it's not enough of a nuisance to bother to check yet so there's that.
