Over on Engadget, people reading the XTRIS article are upset that the author is publishing too many reviews of Playdate games.

Anyways XTRIS will be on sale starting October 30 for 25% off!
Two comments on an Engadget article. Jeremy says: "We get it, you have a playdate. Every article you write is about this super niche console that no one cares about." Ben says: "I get that you're into playdate, and I appreciate the coverage of something more obscure... but there have been a lot of articles on it. It seems highly disproportionate, unless you have some kind of financial or personal incentive to write for them? If you're looking to support indie artists, perhaps you could cover indie games on other platforms more."

I absolutely adore photo mode in DK Bananza
Donkey Kong looks angrily at the camera. Odd Rock is shouting on his shoulder. In the background is yellow grass and a blue sky. Donkey Kong and Odd Rock State into this distance. Sitting next to them is a Banandium Gem. Donkey Kong and Odd Rock sit unperturbed by the swarm of squid-like enemies approaching from behind. Donkey Kong and Pauline gaze up at the Elder Kong of the Lagoon Layer.

I had the best silly good time in 🌱 Space Sprouts 🪐 this morning!! The physics sim is a delightful sandbox to play around in, and the memory mechanic makes discovering new secrets interesting and replayable!

BIG thank you to @schleudergames.bsky.social for the early access key 💜 #indiegame

Introducing: Sendtiments! 💌

Sendtiments is a brand new website I put together with my friend Ri for #FletchFest this year!

Read (or write!) kind letters left by strangers for a little pick-me-up in the middle of your day.

Explore for yourself here: fletchmakesstuff.com/sendtiments

Added image handling to the "write a card" and "read a card" pages <3

Once my artist friend passes along the final art to me, you'll be able to attach some really adorable illustrations to your notes!

Little update on what I'm working on for #FletchFest!

This will be a website where you can send and receive kind letters - I'm using Discord as a proxy for an "admin backroom" where you can accept or reject content.

2025 has been pretty abysmal so far, so I wanted to create a space for kindness <3
More info about the website Warm Hugs. Text on screen reads: "Warm Hugs is simply a place to send and receive encouragement, in the form of little cards. You can read as many cards as you like, or write some yourself to send to a stranger. After submitting a card, it will be reviewed by a team of content moderators before it is approved. This is to prevent abuse of the system and keep everyone safe. If you're reading a card that you think is harmful, discouraging, or unsafe, you can click the Report button to flag it for re-review by our moderators. You can also get in touch with us here if there's something you'd like to report or discuss!" Screenshot of writing a new card to submit to the site. Screenshot of a Discord embed where moderators can approve or reject incoming content. Viewing a card. In addition to the card text and author, there is a button for "Show me another!" and also a button to report a card in case it is harmful.
