Always frustrated to find out when I make a game guide on Steam and then it gets scrapped and reposted onto websites where they steal hundreds of guides to make a little bit of ad revenue...

if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thanks!

Took some time to call my senators and it was surprisingly easy to do. I will be doing so more often from now on.

Just learned today that the link for Carve Jr.'s controls is no longer accessible from the QR code in the game. Luckily! With the help of internet archive, the website is still accessible and the controls image is now on the Playdate Wiki!

Getting the motivation again to work on the Playdate wiki. Next big goal is to at least create a page for each game on Catalog so that it is easier for anyone to add info to the wiki.

Haven't been on here in a while. So here's something that's part of my game collection the Nerf n-strike Wii controller for the games Nerf N-strike and N-strike elite. A big part of my collection right now is light gun games and I've slowly been collecting some of that hardware.

Idk what to post so here's a pokemon card I just picked up. It's a Japanese exclusive card that was given as a promotion for McDonald's. I got this specific cards because I'm trying to collect Nintendo E-reader cards.
