A year ago I was given a spider plant. And, obviously, it needed a Spider-Man pot. I took it to work (where I'd have some help from folks with greener thumbs) and Peter has been growing really well.

Today he was joined by Miles, a non-variegated Spider-Plant.

I love them.

Toem is another example.

A device like I'm proposing would cost a bit more to develop and serve a niche market within a niche market. That's dangerous. But it's still just buttons and a screen in a plastic shell. But it worked for the Playdate and innovation takes risk!

There's already an existing genre of photography games where taking photos is a major way the player interacts with the game world.

Would something similar to Pokemon Snap be more fun to play with a controller that operates like a real camera? I think so!

So I was thinking that there are other devices that already have layouts of buttons. If a videogame handheld copied their form factor it could shake things up by inspiring novel ways of playing games.

Like, for instance, the camera!

An exception is the Playdate. Sure, it has a d-pad and 2 face buttons in the comfortably familiar arrangement of the Gameboy. But the Playdate was really designed for the crank on the side. It was a challenge to designers to make games that used this unique input. That's what made it fun!

I had a thought about video game inputs. Bear with me.

Most video game handhelds are, quite reasonably, shaped like video game handhelds. You get options like vertical or horizontal layout, different aspect ratios, different numbers of buttons or analog sticks but they're all pretty predictable.

People get so bothered by pineapple on pizza. Pfft. Push beyond.

My pizza is the Swede. It's like a Hawaiian but with the addition of banana and curry powder. Dig it.

If you see this, post a gif from one of your comfort shows.

(There are a lot of things I am grateful to Alex Roberts for (are they on Blue sky yet?) but one of the greatest is introducing me to The Littlest Hobo)

I enjoy this time of year for the ice formations.

Why is Ito En tea so good?

Or, asked better, why can't any of the more available bottled teas actually taste like tea like Ito En does?
