Playbit definitely needs some TLC, which I'm hoping to get to once the launch dust settles. Suborbital used a very small subset of the Playdate API so it may not be as usable for others at the moment!

TIL the #SteamDeck has no rumble hardware and instead uses the trackpad haptics to create a subtle vibration.

Which means the bug I've been chasing is not actually a bug πŸ€£πŸ˜­πŸ’€

Learned about make files, fixed some outdated code, added a new feature, and recompiled a new binary. Only to find there was an existing PR for what I was trying to do 🀦 At least I learned something along the way, eh?
