oh dang I just got an email that suggests the Playdate should arrive around my birthday, that's exciting

everyone's getting their Steam Decks but all I want is my Playdate

Man, you ever get "video game shellshock" like where you close your eyes to go sleep and can still see & hear the effects from the game? I have that now after spending all evening playing splat 3, my brain's all *pap pap pap* woomy

so true lmao

The way Splatoon 3 shows the winning team at the end is kinda rage inducing... I'd rather see my team being all sad than the enemy team being all smug

Every so often YouTube recommends me an interview with the title "Why I Invented C++" and I never click on it but I always think to myself "Why, Bjarne. Why did you do it..."

Splat game gud

How it started: "I should wear these woolly socks to keep my feet warm on the kitchen floor"

How it's going: *wearing an icepack because I slipped in the woolly socks and broke my toe*

Of course, it would be the run where I misspelled my character's name. And I totally lucked out and found a life-saving amulet, which saved my butt... so did I _really_ win? Plus I never figured out the mystery of the library... Guess I'll have to go again sometime.

When I was 12 I played a roguelike called POWDER on my DS.

It's the one 'traditional' roguelike that really clicked with me. Where others felt overwhelming, I'd come back to POWDER each year and get just a little bit better every time.

Today, 14 years later, I finally beat it. Words cannot describe this weight that has been lifted from my shoulders!

Thank you, Jeff, for making such a beautiful, cruel and relentlessly challenging little game.
