we don't talk enough about the damage that widespread chromebook adoption by schools has done to computer literacy in children
Close-up of documents strewn across a desk: a clipboard holds a filled-in βCadet Simulation Feedback Formβ; a receipt-printed βCadet Training Performance Evaluation Reportβ, with a list of times; an orange access card on a lanyard; and two Playdate consoles.
The International Planetary System Defence Association maintains that regular simulation training is an essential aspect of operational readiness.
The next mandatory training and evaluation session will commence in T-24:00:00.

hey i just got an alert saying your personal info was found on the dork web
one-button games are some of the most creative π
Imagine explaining Red Bull to a Victorian Child, Imagine showing Pornhub to a Medieval Monk -
No, literally just try explaining Blippo+ to someone who doesn't even know what a Playdate. I dare you.

I find it amazing they created a computer that cannot count
Library and demo app are open source: github.com/gurtt/LPCDemo
It speaks! This is #playdate synthesising speech real-time just like the Speak & Spell did back in the day.
The entire library of about 1200 words fits in less than 300KB of RAM.

turns out this is the case for pretty much every single game I played as a kid
leaving the light on is actually ok because most of the energy is used filling the room up with bright and after that the bulb doesn't have to work as hard
getting your permit to put a billboard on a historical building denied and then just projecting an ad on it anyway should be illegal I think
People be like "man, these games were hidden gems" and then name the four biggest indies that year
sometimes you just canβt top a zinger like βtyrannosaurus flexβ
okokok so: weβve got cards. you can pick βem. and they do whatβs on βem, but the best bit is: a little manicule! It picks up and drags those carriages around in an ultra computer-usage-in-a-kids-cartoon kinda way that has no business in an old-timey train game π

how do I turn my in-person camera off
tried to set my watch but it changed to the next slide instead
my favourite way to cool off after a long day is with a refreshing screen of Crystal Zipper, ice-cold and crisp from the airwaves on @blippo.plus
tv with reporter and line go down above tv with kid play with ball from untitled goose game
the two bluesky feeds
Now we're shipping! Nine unique carriages flying down the tracks in the middle of the nonspecific desert ποΈ
The geometry and that one photobombing cactus could use a bit of tweaking, but it's running

open source means anyone can access your phone
In addition to nice, consider that this game is also:
* fun
* cool
* free of confusing acronyms and high-fructose corn syrup
A digital drawing showing a steam locomotive hauling three carriages with different cargo. The background shows a hilly landscape. Text above the train says, ββAβ to confirm. βBβ to pick another card. Below the train, there are three boxes with text. The first reads, βPromotion: Move any carriage forward.β The second reads, βShunt: Swap any two carriages.β The third reads, βSlip Coach: Remove the last carriage.β
The idea: youβve got this train with different cargo on it, and you *really* want 3 particular carriages to be at the front
The problem: there are 3 other people with their own secret carriages they really want at the front too βΌοΈ
The solution: get a #playdate and play this little multiplayer game
Canβt believe Playdate got achievements before Nintendo switch
Hey π achievements are very new, so you might not have any games that work with Trophy Case yet. If you do, you might need to update them! After you play a game that has achievements for the first time, it should show up automatically next time you open Trophy Case π
A huge thank you to about a million other people whose efforts and dedication made this possible π
Gday! Trophy Case, the achievements app for Playdate, is out now!
It works with any supported gamesβsome of your favourites already have achievements, and more are being added all the time.
You can download Trophy Case at gurtt.dev/trophy-case π #playdate #trophycase #gamedev
