Nerd, programmer, writer. I like making things!
Unfortunately it’s still ~$100 just to make the thing, so halving the price doesn’t sound likely. It’s definitely a device you have to use intentionally because of the screen, but I still play mine at least few times a week (and daily when I’m pomodoroing!)
Plus you get 3 months of included games! A bit harder to become ewaste so fast when you’re playing something new every week
Heck yeah, I think that’s a good reason! 💛 Hopefully they ship out by mid-December, Christmas is on a Monday so you’d have a few season 1 games that morning!
Cheers, happy Halloween!
Save up for season 2, it’ll be like a game book club! Maybe we can finally make a playdate lemmy community 😭
As a dev who recently released a game for the system (on sale now - only $1!), I’m pretty excited to see what gets included! It sounds like it’ll be all new games
I downloaded the demo rom (from itch) to play on my anbernic sp tonight! I didn’t realize there was a nice little homebrew scene
Edit: Played it some, great game! They have little gates that take away abilities and it makes traversing a shared area really fun. Smart level design and the platforming is solid
Some people think if you’re not foaming at the mouth over this then you’re in total support. The threads have been bizarre
Little Inferno can be beaten in ~3 hours and… let me check… yes, it’s on mobile! It’s by the people that made World of Goo, don’t sleep on it
Hat in Time is a great modern 3D platformer, movement was fun and I liked the variety of characters across the levels. The Murder on the Owl Express quest was my favorite!
Most of the game is fantastic, but yeah my partner and I were surprised when that happened!
There was one other plot point where we raised our eyebrows, but I don’t know to do spoiler text
KNIFE FIGHT!!!
There’s a lot to do outside the main plot, the townspeople were really interactive. Great rec! The falling leaves give it a cozy vibe too
Frog Detective!
It’s a lighthearted detective series, more of a walking sim with humorous characters than anything. The magnifying glass doesn’t even do anything! The dev did a fun talk about comedy in games if you’re into that
Here’s a shot I got from the last game (corruption at cowboy county)
Love Ooblets! The dance battles are a fun little replacement for regular creature collecting fights, and they also scratch that deckbuilder itch.
Confirming they were available the day before!
Considering current recruits don’t even last a month from enlisting, not looking good!
So less than a month’s worth of troops?

The OLED update also helped create a secondary market of used/refurbished units, it was a pretty good decision
One reason they did this is because Harris worked at McDonald’s in college. Agree though, it’s a… weird photo op
Mars After Midnight was fun!
