Wow, brave! The display on my batch 2 Playdate has started to develop an issue where certain pixels are displaying in a black line. It still plays for now, but I’m saving up my dollars to get it repaired/replaced since it’s unfortunately outside the warranty period now.
I’ve been following this and am intrigued, but the combo of the high price, crowdfunding, and lack of even a functioning prototype to show off has me skeptical enough to not throw down money in advance for one.
If it actually comes out and they don’t go bankrupt during the design/manufacturing process, and if the phone is actually good, then I’d definitely consider buying one. I like the concept a lot.
I picked up a lot of games on the sale, so here are some thoughts on a few:
Mars After Midnight: I’m still early on in this, but this is already one of my favorite games I’ve played on Playdate. The art is fun, music is catchy, and the gameplay is fun. At $6 this is a must-buy for any Playdate owner IMO, up there with Bloom.
Bloom: By far my favorite game on Playdate. This is a fantastic game from both a story and gameplay perspective. I’ve played it start to finish twice, and likely will play a third time as well.
Taxi Trouble: This is a fun high score style game. If you ever played Crazy Taxi or Road Rage, this is essentially a top-down take on that concept.
Steam’d Roller: I thought I’d really enjoy this from the catalog page, but it’s only okay. The gameplay is very basic, and there isn’t much challenge here for a high score based game. The first time I played I got a score of over 300 before I just gave up and let the timer run out, out of boredom.
Greed: This is a basic dice game, but endlessly replayable. I like that this lets you play against both a computer, or to pass the Playdate back and forth with a partner.
I bought a few others that I haven’t gotten to spend much time with yet, but I’ll post those thoughts here later!
Maybe I haven’t spent enough time searching out accounts to follow, but I’ve found Pixelfed to be a bit lacking compared to Lemmy.
Lemmy successfully replaced Reddit for me. But Pixelfed is just too barren for me to be able to ditch Instagram.
I haven’t seen anyone mention HROT yet, but it’s a other featuring a retro 3D art style.
I’m an American who visited Cuba (legally) a few years back. I paid for goods and was allowed to bring things back into the US. There were just monetary limits for goods on what you were allowed to bring back in. I believe products like rum, cigars, and coffee were limited to $100-200, but I wasn’t asked to show any receipts or anything.
BP. Obvious reasoning.
Lot of great games in here! I’d recommend FAR: Lone Sails and Norco!
Regular watch.
I find myself bombarded by notifications all day anyways, I don’t also want my wrist buzzing along with my pocket. Since I work from home, I have my phone out on my desk most of the time anyways, smartwatch doesn’t really add any value for me as I don’t care about the fitness data.
I’m also a watch enthusiast, so smartwatches don’t scratch that same itch as a traditional watch.
Adding a good tip in the app is a good way to ensure your order will actually get accepted and picked up quickly. Many drivers decide to take an order based upon the payout they see listed in the app.
Not even a question for me, absolutely teleportation.
I wouldn’t need to own a car, never need to pay for plane tickets or any sort of transportation.
I can go anywhere at any time. Live anywhere and then just blink where I want/need to be.
Invisibility doesn’t provide nearly the same practical applications. The only useful thing I can think of for invisibility would be to hide inside a bank vault and steal money, but that could technically be achieved via teleportation too.
I’ll have to give this another look. I tried the play test for Chasing the Unseen when it was first made available, but it was really rough at the time and borderline unplayable for me. But I like the concept a lot and enjoyed Jusant.
If you have a Switch and a TV, I’d recommend trying out Ring Fit!
That game has been my primary fitness source since 2020. It makes the exercises very approachable, and also engaging. You really don’t need any prior exercise experience to hop in and play it, and it’ll help ensure you get a well rounded workout in.
I loved it. Great art style, the soundtrack is amazing, and I found the story compelling. It’s one that I actively recommend to people.
Ah yes, who can forget all the famous scenes in action movies where the “good guy” shoots 50 “human shield civilians” while attempting to get the “bad guy”.
Zionism is cancer.
It’s a refugee camp filled with innocent people. No amount of justification or propaganda changes the fact that this was a refugee camp and a high degree of civilian casualties was guaranteed. This is a war crime.
I played this for PC, it’s a fun little short adventure but nothing too ambitious. It’s less than 4 hours and ultimately is mostly fetch and delivery requests. The characters are cute and the environment is calming, so I still enjoyed the experience overall.
I’m sure that it’ll just be an ongoing battle between Ublock & Youtube both updating themselves to get around the other. I’ve transferred over to watching more & more on Nebula as it’s better for the creators, ad free, and way cheaper than Youtube Premium.
I played this a while back and really enjoyed it. The story is heart warming, but the art style is the real star of the show. The watercolor styled environment is beautiful to explore. Would recommend!
