I love making things people love to use.

#VR is cool, #accessibility is cool, #webdev is alright, #swift is cool, and #playdate is very cool

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.

turns out this is the case for pretty much every single game I played as a kid
Have you ever played a game that as a child felt longer, only to realize that the game is actually pretty short if you knew where to go and you were a bit of a dumbass 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

okokok so: we’ve got cards. you can pick ‘em. and they do what’s on ‘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 🚂

how do I turn my in-person camera off
biggest problem with in-person meetings is I’m not muted by default

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

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
