we don't talk enough about the damage that widespread chromebook adoption by schools has done to computer literacy in children

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.

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.

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.

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

okokok so: we’ve got cards. you can pick β€˜em. and they do what’s on β€˜em, 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 πŸš‚

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

Now we're shipping! Nine unique carriages flying down the tracks in the middle of the nonspecific desert 🏜️

The geometry and that one photobombing cactus could use a bit of tweaking, but it's running

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, β€œβ€˜A’ to confirm. β€˜B’ to pick another card. Below the train, there are three boxes with text. The first reads, β€œPromotion: Move any carriage forward.” The second reads, β€œShunt: Swap any two carriages.” The third reads, β€œSlip Coach: Remove the last carriage.”

The idea: you’ve 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 ‼️

The solution: get a #playdate and play this little multiplayer game

Hey πŸ‘‹ 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 πŸ†
