Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

JUST emulation? Why? Battery life?
I mean, you could always just download a full set of nes and snes roms and go to town on anything that interests you.
For non emulation games, and especially if recharging power is available - factorio is surprisingly good at running on low end hardware and if that’s your type of game, you can play for a very very long time.
I find roguelikes to also be good for trips - not necessarily in one super long session due to frustration-but good from a “play for a while, put it down, pick it up and play some more”. If you like playing cards definitely check out balatro. Also vampire survivors can play forever on a battery charge and is surprisingly addictive.
