  • Regarding the API, Spotify does allow free access, but some content and features are restricted to the official apps. For example, personalized playlists such as Weekly Discovery, release radar, daily mixes and the like are not available and return an error. Rate limiting is ok for a personal use case with a custom api key, and maybe some small apps can stay under the limit; developer agreement is also quite restrictive, so they have a bunch of reasons to block you.

    Source: I’ve used the API before and built a small tool to help me export my top listened songs and some recommendations to a list, nothing heavy but still made sure to read the docs needed just in case. Still managed to hit the rate limit with a few tens of requests in a minute, though the way they do limiting is weird and difficult to account for.

    I’ve been playing Drill Dozer (GBA) on my phone via Lemuroid. I looked into it after reading it was made by Game Freak and thinking “Hold on, they make non-Pokemon games?”. Finished the main story line today, will try to 100% it now. A very fun game with some interesting mechanics, good story and art style. Playing it on a phone can be challenging at times, since the game relies heavily on L/R triggers, but a good grip/finger position or laying the phone on a table sometimes helps a lot.

    Other than that, I have been playing some old NES games from my childhood, and a few others I’ve missed out. Recently played Bomberman, MegaMan and Mike Tyson’s punch out.
