Now those are fancy! I really like the joystick support.

Related, do you have any recs for an SP-style emulation handheld? I love the clamshell for tossing in my backpack

Someday! 🙏

I do recommend it! The season (delivered over 12 weeks) is sometimes hit or miss, but that’s mostly because there’s something for everyone. And being so dev friendly is a huge bonus if you’re into that

The specific mode yeah, you’d get some xp for kills but as far as anyone knew ending the round ASAP was the most xp/min you could earn. They wanted to get the platinum trophy before the servers shut down

Dang, maybe I’ll go for the Analogue Pocket instead. Thanks for the tip!

I haven’t thought about my leapfrog in years! Was a fun little thing.

The Piboy looks great! I’ll have to put it on a list of gift ideas for my partner

I can see why, unfortunately it’s a little over $100 just to make the device so I can’t see it going down much. We can’t really get economies of scale for such a niche product

Sometimes you can get a good deal used!

I immediately wanted a Playdate when I saw it. It’s a little yellow handheld with a crank designed by Teenage Engineering and made by Panic, who’s also published Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game, and a bunch more games recently.

I’ve had it for a year and still use it daily, the screen works great most places I’m waiting in line and I have a book light for the evenings.

One thing I really like about it is that it’s not an emulation device. It comes with 24 games +2 free on the Catalog and the community has made a ton (over 1000 on itch!). They’re mostly bespoke little titles that aren’t available anywhere else. The Lua and C SDKs are easy to use and encourage homebrew, I’ve got a pomodoro timer launching in the on-device storefront next week and am currently working on a little suika-like. Definitely recommend if you’ve got the spare cash!

Plus it’s got a pizza case! I love it so

I didn’t know about this game until today when an interview with the dev popped up on my podcast subscription feed, it looks good! I might have to go in blind

LOL for context, it was the fastest way to grind xp: https://x.com/realradec/status/1831041419756388429

Golden Sun is still one of my favorite RPGs!

Crazy behavior, the guy could play anonymously but he’s clearly not in it for the fun of the game.
